Unapologetically in Love

Chapter Three

My head laying against my soft plump pillow, the morning light falling over my eyes waking me up for my uncomfortable state... I looked down to see I had slept in my clothes I wore yesterday...then slowly it started coming back to me...

'Ugh.'

'Morning sunshine'

I bolted up to see the same guy from yesterday in my room, going through my draws with his back to me

'What the fuck!' I shouted reaching over to him pulling him away to face me

'Not a morning person I take it?'

'How did you get in here? How do you know where I live? How did I get here?' Did you drug me?'

He chuckled and made his way to my bed, pulling out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket
'I have decided to give Nina another chance' he declared

'Wha -'

'Just shut up, let me finish...I've decided to give Nina a chance to come back... But only if you can change her mind. If you can change her mind, if she does not to take her own life, she can stay'

'You drugged me didn't you?' Was this some sick joke?

'The date is now 15th November, you have 31 days until the day she took her life, December 16th... 31 days to save her' he stood and made his way to my calendar on my wall above my desk... he waved his hand over the calendar and a red hot circle appeared on the date December 16th. My stomach dropped.. this can't be real

I checked my phone, the date was the 15th November... What the hell was happening?

'What is this? What are you doing?'

'31 days to save Nina, I'm not as heartless as the tails say' he shrugged

'I don't even know her!' My hands in my hair, falling over my face, rubbing it in disbelief.

'There is just one rule, you can't tell her you know, you tell her and the timeline will go back to her funeral. She will be dead. No more second chances'

'Well what if I don't want to?' I raised my hands in the air, unsure of what I'm actually doing

'You already said you would' he smirked again

'But -'

'Did you not mean it? Do you not want to help her?'

'Ugh, I don't know her! Why me?' I shouted pacing back and forth

'You cared, you cared too much when it was to late. And I'm letting myself be a good death for a change. I'm letting you care now. Care enough to help her'

I didn't know what to say. Yes I cared, but why does that matter? It's to late, right? No one can go back and change things that have already happened....right?

I looked back at him, he's sitting on the edge of my desk, smiling....fucking smiling at me. I fell back on my bed, looking up at my ceiling... If I got back to sleep, I'll wake up and this will have all been a messed up dream.

I closed my eyes... knowing that this was real, this wasn't a dream. I knew I was awake. I took a deep breath in.

'What if I can't do it, what if she still kills herself?'

'Then that is that. She will be dead.' He shrugged so effortlessly, like this wasn't a big deal.

My head was spinning... I needed to get to school... I needed to see if she was here, alive.

Walking through the school hallway I noticed that the flowers had been taken down from where Ninas locker was.
Fuck... this is real.
