Chapter 17- New Beginnings

[Ingrid's POV]

I was stood in the road, I could see the truck coming towards me at top speed. I saw all my friends at the side of the road, screaming at me to run but I couldn't. My legs were stuck to the floor. I started to panic as the truck came closer, but I still couldn't move. I looked back to my friends. Holly, Erin, Millie, Lucy and the others were shouting at me to come over to them, but then I noticed Alex. He was stood with them but was kissing Hayley. My heart broke in two as the truck came into contact with my body and I was thrown up into the air, screaming...

"INGRID!" a voice shouted, but this time it wasn't the dream. Frank was shouting at me and shaking me awake. He looked petrified and worried, then I realised I was still screaming and shut up as fast as I could.

"Jesus Ingrid, you were screaming for ages and shaking," Frank said quietly and pulled me into his arms.

"I'm sorry," I whimpered, "I had a nightmare."

"Shh, it's okay Ingrid I'm here," Frank soothed.

I didn't stop shaking for a while but eventually Frank managed to calm me down.

"What was your nightmare about?" He asked.

"I was in the road again but I couldn't move and the truck was coming towards me and all of you were stood on the pavement shouting to me but I couldn't get to you and Alex was kissing Hayley," I said and started breathing quickly.

Frank's whole body tensed at the mention of Alex's name. I felt guilty because I knew how much Frank liked me and as much as I liked him, I missed Alex and wasn't going to forget about him any time soon.

"You need to forget about him," Frank whispered as if he'd read my thoughts.

It was late at night in the hospital, although I didn't know what time it actually was. The room was barely lit and it was silent apart from my panicking and Frank's attempts at comforting me.

"It's going to take me a long time," I sighed.

Frank went quiet after that and I sat up to face him.

"Frank, I heard what you said to me," I told him.

"What?" He replied, looking confused.

"Your huge speech about how much you like me and hoped to God I survive all this," I whispered.

"Oh," he mumbled and even though it was dark I could tell he was blushing.

"It was really sweet," I said, "and I guess I do like you too, I know I was drunk but that kiss still meant something."

His head snapped up, "you like me?"

"Yeah, you actually care about me and you're so lovely and.." I didn't finish my sentence.

"And what?" He smirked.

"And you're pretty hot too," I muttered.

"What was that Ingrid?" Frank asked.

"You heard what I said," I whined.

"I know I'm just messing," he chuckled, "thanks Ingrid."

"No problem," I smiled at him.
