Healing The Desolated Heart

IV

Val's Pov

Dreams

Dreams are what I have been dealing with

Not just any dream

Nightmares to be exact

Not just any nightmare

But the one that makes you remember every single detail on those horrible dreams, the one that makes you wake up and cry at the middle of the night, the one that questions your will of existence, the one that will eat you up alive...

I woke up and felt water down my cheeks and sweat pouring out of my skin

"What just happened?" I whispered through the thin air

Those memories from last year are coming back slowly

"I'm sorry Val, its not your fault, its me, its always been me" that voice lingers in my mind

"No! Please don't go, we need you, I need you" I said begging whilst tears start to come out if my eyes

"NO! Stop! Please!" I shouted and ran my hands over my head

"Don't come back, just forget... f-forget" I whispered

My mom suddenly barged inside the room panting

"Val! What happened? I heard a loud thud then I want here immediatley" mom asked concered

"Its nothing" I told her but she doesn't look convinced

"Actually I don't seem to remember it" I lied

"Well... just sleep tight, I'll be on the next room if you need me" and with that mom left

Its in the past Valerie. She would like you to move on if she was here

Sadly she isn't

She's long gone

And never coming back

-

Another day went by and another came

But these nightmares keep getting worse every single night

I always find myelf inside a lake frozen over by ice but when I wake up I find myself crying and gasping for air

I haven't told anyone about the horrifying episodes of my nightmares. When I start to think about it I always tear up.

"Miss Stevens are you alright? You look pale and about to pass out, are you getting enough sleep?" My teacher said looking quite worried

"May I excuse myself?" I asked then she agreed

I haven't been able to get some rest since these nightmares began to show up

The truth is I don't sleep at all, I get so scared of what might happen next in those dreams

I went inside the restroom to keep myself together

"Get it together Valerie" I told myself as I washed my face with water

'Be calm' I thought, keeping those words on a loop on my mind until I go back inside the classroom

Unluckily for me I didn't got the chance to go back inside the classroom

My head began to ache as I twisted the door knob but I was pushed by the door because someone opened it

I thought I'll fall

So I did

I fell hard on the floor and heard murmurs then everything suddenly went black

-

I woke up and saw a bright light shining down on my face

What happened? Where am I?

Then my vision cleared out

I'm at the clinic, but why

"You fell, stupid" the voice said

Am I that loud?

"Yes, yes you are" he said, wait he?

Who is that annoying person

"Why are you saying your thoughts so loud, its irritating" I finally managed to find the person who said it

Oh the annoying monkey

"Seriously are you having a monolouge and by the way names Ethan" He said

"Well I'm sorry I was pushed by a jerk then I fell hard on the floor so would you mind" I eyed him

"Technically it was the door who pushed you" he held his hand in defense

"God my head hurts because of the 'door' and you" I rolled my eyes

"God my head hurts because I'm stuck with you until this period ends. Why are you always not watching where your going? Like seriously am I that attractive that you need to fall whenever I'm near so I can catch you and all those movie with slow-mo things" He scoffed

"I never realized that your head was that big to the point that you need to praise yourself to make your pride even bigger" I answered back

There are a million reasons to why I fell and he just picked that lame excuse

"I like your defensiveness" He smirked

"I like how your ego is written all over your face and you just want to smudge it onto people" I glared at him

"Okay fine, I forgive you" Ethan said smiling

Can someone please send him to the zoo so that he can finally go back to his habitat

"Whatever you say jerk, I'm going far away from that face of yours" I said but when I began to stand up I felt my head worsen

"I forgot to tell you that you've got a really huge bump on your head so you need to rest" He explained

"Yeah like I didn't feel that" I said then went outside the clinic to go to my next class but I felt someone behind my shoulder

"Where you going clumsy?" He asked me

"Seriously out of all the names that you could've picked. Its Val" I turned around

"And out of all the animals that you could've picked you chose monkey for me" He said smiling in victory

"Touchè" I told him then walked off

I admit it was fun messing with him. He might turn out to be interesting than I thought and I was really shocked that my shyness didn't show guess I was really annoyed.

I know he's handsome as hell but his personality is not attractive but quite irritating.

Then I remembered those horrible nightmares again

"I really have to rest and fixed myself" I sighed

"I know" He sighed with me

Why is he still here?!
