Twisted Nightmare

Chapter 4

* Dark, nothing but pitch black dark. I frantically looked around, but I couldn't see a thing. "Help Please! Help me!" I scream as loud as I could, I kept screaming until my throat was sore. I walked around trying to feel what was in front of me or besides me. I found what I thought was a wall, and slid down it against my back. I heard heavy foot steps, each step they took it would shake the ground beneath me. I could hear small screams of someone screaming my name. My body started shaking, but it wasn't because I was scared, which I was I was scared out of my mind. No matter how many times I have a dream, I still get terrified. It felt as if somebody was grabbing my shoulders and shaking me. The foot steps were getting closer. Suddenly everything stopped, the foot steps could no longer be heard. My body stopped shaking, and there was nothing but silence*

"Diana, please Diana wake up!" I heard a familiar female voice. "Louis when will she wake up? It's been an hour. Maybe we should call an ambulance." As soon as I opened my eyes I saw Eleanor, Louis and him. I hated calling him, it bothered me. I wanted to know the name of the person who has  been torturing  me for the last 3 years. I also wondered why is he in my house? Does Louis know him? He needs to leave.

I looked at my surroundings, I was on my couch. Louis was pacing back and forth, it looked like he was thinking hard. Eleanor was knelt beside me on the floor looking at Louis.  I could tell she was worried. The unknown but very well known person was sitting on the chair across from me. He was looking at me, and I was staring back. His gaze never left me. He was studying me. Why?

I shifted my gaze over to the time it was midnight. No one knew I am awake besides him I slowly sat up, but fell back down groaning. "Oh my god! You're awake! I thought you weren't ever going to!" El said happily. She threw her arms around me and hugged me tight.

"El, I-I can't b-b-reathe.." She was holding me so tight I couldn't breathe. "I'm so sorry, does anything thing hurt?" she quickly apologized and sat up straight.

I had this huge headache, what happened? "I just have a bad headache that's all." I replied. "What happened, why am I on the couch."  I was desperate to know what happened, and why he was in my house. I had to find out. "When you opened the door you blacked out and hit your head on  that small table by the door. You're not seriously injured just a headache. And when you fell I started screaming your name, I was so scared that you would wake up." She said in all one breath.

So that's what all the screaming was. It was El. She must have also been the one shaking me. The foot steps I was still unsure about. It was probably Louis pacing back and forth. I just hoped my worst nightmare hadn't touched me. I get enough of that in my dreams. I glanced at him still sitting across from me. I couldn't take it anymore. I need to know who  he was and why he was here. He's only the Pizza guy, doesn't he have a job to do? He should be out delivering pizzas, not sitting in my living room.

I suddenly got the courage and spoke to him, without stuttering. "Who are you?" I spat. He looked shocked. "I'm Niall, I'm Louis' friend." His  name was Niall, finally I knew. It wouldn't bother me as much. " Why are you here? Shouldn't you be doing your job? Delivering Pizza.?" I knew I was being harsh, but I didn't care. This guy has made my life living hell. He looked confused. If only he knew what happens when I close my eyes at night. I waited impatiently for him to answer me. When he still didn't talk I sat up, slowly this time, and made my way to the bathroom to find some aspirin for my killer headache.It was now two in the morning and everyone had left. I practically screamed when Niall was gone. If I see him one more time I might go crazy. I lied down in bed, and set my alarm for tomorrow.  

I groaned when my alarm went off. I rolled over and smacked it with my hand, it then fell to the floor. I slipped out of bed and walked into the kitchen for breakfast. My breakfast consisted of a glass of milk, and a bowl of Apple Jacks. When I was done I put the dishes in the sink and headed to the shower. I turned on This Is gospel by Panic! At The Disco . I slipped off my clothes and stepped in the shower. I still had 7 hours to get ready so I took my time in the shower. I let the hot water run down my body while I thought about tonight. I'm really hoping that everything  goes great. 15 minutes later I was done and got out. I drew another smiley face on the mirror and went straight to my room. And got ready.

It was finally seven and I was waiting for Conner. Right now I was nervous. Did I look good? Did I smell good? I hoped so. I was interrupted from my thoughts when there was a  knock on the door. Here we go. I opened it to see Conner with a huge smile on his face. "You look lovely tonight Diana." he said. I hid my face when I started feeling to heat up. "You don't look so bad yourself." I joked. He lead me outside to his car. I was hoping he would open my door, but he didn't. I frowned as I got in the car.  I buckled my self when the car came to life. There was an awkward, I was thinking that it would completely different since this is Conner, I shouldn't be uncomfortable with him. "Did you hear Sharon gave me a two dollar raise?" he broke the silence. "No I didn't, when was this?"

"Yesterday, she said she was thinking about making me manager. So that means I'd be working 24/7. I haven't decided yet, because having to watch Kelsey and working all day everyday is a lot of work." He sighed. Kelsey was his younger sister. She never liked me for some reason, but it didn't bother me. I didn't know what to say so I just smiled and nodded. There was another awkward silence when he finished talking. I rested my head on the cold window. I watched as little rain drops rolled down the window. It was supposed to rain tonight, but so far we've only had sprinkles of it.

"We're here, Diana did you fall asleep?" he laughed. "No, I did not fall asleep, I was just resting so all my energy is saved up." I laughed and playfully hit him in the arm. "Whatever, let's go." he chuckled and got out of the car. I followed behind him up to the gate so we could get tickets. I assumed he would buy me my ticket but instead he bought his own and moved out of the way so I could buy mine. I probably sound like some stuck up girl who thinks the boy needs to buy everything, do everything. But I shouldn't complain, he never said it was a date.

I walked up to the man behind the glass to get my ticket, I let out a sigh of relief when I had just enough money. I bought my ticket and turned to Conner. "Let's go party!" I said over the loud music  you could hear from the other side of the gate. I held on to his arm as we disappeared into the jumping bodies. We had only just arrived and I was sweating. The little drops if rain didn't help at all.

Conner lead me to one of the many stages in the back. He started jumping up and down shouting something I couldn't hear. Since we arrived late, we ended up in the very back of the crowd. We could barley see the stage, but it sounded as if we were front row.

I felt a tap on my shoulder that made me jump. I turned around and saw a girl with short straight Brown hair. She started screaming things in my ear such as "You bitch, I'm going to fucking kill you! You're such a slut!." I figured she was drunk, so I shrugged it off and turned back to a frowning Conner. He leaned into me and yelled to me "What is she talking about!?" "Who is she?" I could barley hear him so I motioned him to follow me. I found a small building where the bathrooms were located. It was quiet enough to have a normal conversation.

"So?" he moved his hands signaling for me to explain to him. "Honestly I have no idea who she is. She started yelling at me, but I assumed she was drunk, so I didn't bother to ask." he didn't looked like he cared if she was drunk or not. "It's not that big of a deal, seriously let's go back out there and have fun." I paused " That's why we came here, right?" He looked me dead in the eye and leaned in. He closed his eyes comer closer and closer. Is he going to kiss me? Oh my god! I closed my eyes and found my self leaning in.

Once his lips met mine he pulled me into him by holding my hip with one hand, and the other on my cheek. My mind was going crazy. But for some reason something didn't feel right. People say you should feel butterflies in your stomach. They say that when you kiss someone you should feel a fire ignite. But I felt absolutely nothing.
