Stay

CH 13: Yes, I was dreaming.

Dont underestimate the allure of darkness. Even the purest hearts are drawn to it. -Klaus Mikaelson

Ciara's P.O.V

I stare out the car window, pretending to be busy in watching the trees pass by, but in reality my mind is still stuck on the same damn thing; the kiss. I turn towards Kyle and see him looking at me from the corner of his eye. For a second, my eyes caught his, before we both pulled our gazes away. After the kiss Kyle asked to drop me home. And now here we are, sitting in his car, unable to even utter a single word. The tension in the air is so thick you could easily cut it with a knife.

Oh my god! This silence is killing me. 

I turn on the radio and rest my head against the window. All of a sudden Ed Sheeran's "Kiss me" comes on. Great, just what I needed right now. I mentally kick myself for turning the radio on.

I glance at Kyle who's clutching the steering wheel so tight, his knuckles are turning white. I bite my lip and pray to god to help me. As soon as Kyle stops in front of my house, I say a quick bye and jump out of the car and half run, half walk towards my house. I slam the door shut behind me and lay back against it. I slide to the floor and stare in the distance, the thought of the kiss circling my mind. I touch my lips, remembering how soft his lips were against mine and how perfect it felt. I sigh, close my eyes and smile to myself.

NEXT SCENE

Tap, tap, tap....tap, tap, tap. I wake up to a continuous tapping sound. I groan and rub my eyes. I glance around my room and as my eyes land on the window, I shriek and fall off my bed.

"Ouch, what the hell?" I say standing up and rubbing my head.

I walk towards the window and pull it open

"What are you doing here? How'd you climb up!?" I ask as Kyle climbs in.

"Sssh Don't say anything."

He grabs me by my waist, pulls me towards him and starts kissing me. I smile against his lips and wrap my arms around his neck pulling him closer. He lifts me up and carries me to my bed. The warmth of his body surrounds me as he lies on top of me. I slide my hand under his shirt, caressing his chest whilst he moves his lips to my neck. He kisses the area under my ear lobe earning a soft gasp from me. Suddenly he pulls away and looks me straight in the eye.

"You need to get up. NOW!!"

Before I can even process what he's saying the shrill sound of my alarm wakes me up and brings me back to real life. 

Yes, I was dreaming. Stupid me, I mentally kick myself. 

I get out of bed and walk over to the washroom. After what seems like an hour, I come out of the washroom and walk to the closet. I decide to wear a blue sleeveless shirt with jeans and heeled ankle boots. Grabbing my school bag and phone, I walk out of the house.

NEXT SCENE

You know that feeling you get when all of your friends are sitting in the school cafeteria, talking and eating and you're just sitting there staring at them and smiling to yourself, glad to be friends with those idiots. No? Me too.

What's happening right now is far from that feeling. I actually wish I was in class right now. At least someone gives attention to me there. Here, not at all.

 Nina as usual is busy on her phone. Theo's silently eating his burger and time to time trynna peek at Nina's phone, earning a slap in the head from her every time. And well, Kyle has his earphones in and is listening to some songs or something while eating my fries. I'm glaring at him continually but he doesn't even seem to notice. Believe me, I love food, and I totally believe in the phrase "Fries before Guys" but this is Kyle Anderson, and he's not even bothering. 

As I'm about to stand up and get myself some more fries I hear HIM call my name. Now you might be wondering who "HIM" is, don't worry I have this very strong feeling that you're gonna find out really soon. Normal people in my situation would probably squeal with excitement, but not me. I stayed glued to my chair and starting nudging Nina. 

"What?" she asks still not looking up from her phone.

"Am I hallucinating or did you just hear "Him" call my name too?

"Him?" Nina looks at me with a confused expression. 

"Yes Nina, Him. The one who should not be named."

Nina's mouth formed an 'O' but what she says next makes me want to slap her.

"We're talking about Voldemort, right?" She asked. 

"No, Nina, we're NOT talking about freaking Voldemort. We're talking about Mason", I shout and I get a feeling I was a little too loud.  And then I hear him chuckle.

"He just chuckled" I say. 

"Well considering the fact that he's not standing that close to you, you have bat ears", Nina replied. I regain my composure and take a deep breath and start to turn towards him as Kyle places a hand on my shoulder asking "Everything alright?"

And then I see him, standing in the middle of the cafeteria. His eyes filled with regret, probably of leaving us, I think and then he gives me a small smile which doesn't quite reach his eyes. I feel like I'm bewitched or spellbound or something because my lips slowly start to curve into a smile too and now I finally answer Kyle's question. "Yes, I think everything will be fine now."
