Distance Between (Connor Franta fanfic)

Cleaning

I'm standing in a dark room. I cant see anything; it's pitch black. Where am I? How did I get here? Out of nowhere I see my dad walking towards me.

"Where the hell have you been?" He asked. I start to shake. "You gonna answer me?"

I try to get up, but I cant, I'm paralyzed. When I open up my mouth to say something, he pulls out a knife. The same knife he used to kill mom. It still had some blood on it. He steps closer to me.

"Dad I-" He cuts me off.

"You know what? I don't want to hear it!" He yells this time.

"H-how did you- you find me?" I'm stuttering my word now. Is the finally it? Is this the end of me?

"I have my ways." He replies, now in a mysterious tone. All of a sudden, he takes the knife and holds it against my neck.

"HEEEEEEELP!" I scream.

I wake up with tears in my eyes, sweating and breathing heavily. Was this actually a dream? It felt so realistic. 

I hear footsteps running towards me and Jenn bursts through the door holding a bat looking like she is ready to hit someone.

"What? What is it? Are you ok?" She asks, looking around cautiously.

"D-don't worry about it, it was just a bad dream." I tell her.

"Em, I know something's up. Why else would you be screaming at 4 in the morning?" She asks.

"Is it really 4?" I ask. She looks at me with a worried expression,"Fine. I have know idea why, but I was all alone in the dark, I don't know where the hell I was, and I saw my dad walk towards me. I- well, long story short, he killed me."

Jenn stares at me for a while. "Do you have these dreams regularly?" She's more concerned this time.

"No it's the first time." I respond.

"Listen, you know if this starts to get serious you have to get help, right?" She asks me.

"I don't have problems. I don't need help, it was just a nightmare okay?"

She takes a deep breath."Alright. I'm just worried about you. I'm not positive you're completely safe here. Just remember that if anything bad like this happens again,you have to tell me."

"Ok, I will. Sorry for over reacting." I wipe my tears.

"It's fine. Hug it out?" Without hesitating, I embrace her tightly. Jenn is right, I'm not completely safe here. I'm praying my dad won't fine me, but I know it's not impossible. She breaks the hug saying, "I know this is totally off of subject, and its really early, but I am kinda hungry. Wanna go grab some food?"

"I'd thought you'd never ask." I laugh.

"I know a really cool bakery downtown, let's go."

"In our pajamas? Are there going to be pickles?" I ask.

She laughs. "I'm pretty sure."

After eating early and walking around L.A, Jenn and I head back over to the apartment. It was now already 7:00. We walk in to hear Jenn's phone ringing. She picks it up.

"Hey what's up...yea we just came back...yea we were at the bakery..." I'm guessing that it was Andrea. Jenn finishes with a loud groan and hangs up.

"What? Do we have to pick up Andrea?" I ask.

"Worse. We have to help clean up the mess from the party and then pick up Andrea."
