Hailey's POV
I walked down the halls of the empty school, desperate to get to my locker.
"Bee," a voice cried, a voice that I dread gearing.
Go away Max, go away.
"I can't," he says, gripping my wrist.
I must have said that out loud.
My heart beat quickened. I turned around.
"Bee," came Max's heart stopping voice, filled with remorse.
"I'm sorry, Bee. I'm so so sorry. I just can't bear to see you like this."
"Too late," I stay stock still, emotionless.
"No, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I can't believe it's too late. I-I pushed you away because I love you, I love you so so much, Bee." He said, his stormy gray eyes piercing into my green ones.
They were so clear, his eyes. It felt as if I was looking into his soul. And his soul said his heart belonged to me. Just as mine belonged to him.
"Really?" I whispered, my heart slowly piecing itself back together.
"Yes Bee, I always have."
"I love you too," I confessed. I wanted to say it. I didn't completely know it was true, but it would be horrible if when he could say it, I couldn't.
He pulled my wrist towards him, and I fell into his warm embrace. "I will always love you," he mumbled into my hair.
I laugh. Because if I hadn't, I would have begun to cry.
And I didn't want that.
Suddenly Max screams.
A dark shadow starts to pull him. Pull him away. Away from me.
"Max!" I scream. But Max is long gone and everything has changed.
*
I wake up, sweating hard. Tears pouring from my face. Stupid dream.
I needed to get a grip over myself.
I looked at the clock.
3:30 am
I had to stop this.
Before it got worse.
I would stop sulking.
Tomorrow I would go to school.
My broken heart beat faster.
Tomorrow I would face them.
Tomorrow I would face them all.
