Dreams

Chapter fifteen

"Guys." I spoke in what I hopped was a warning tone.

Felix turned to me and gave me the 'what the hell is going on' look. And it wasn't a good look on his face. His lips were slightly curled, his eyes were hard, his nose was about to flare, and his jaw looked painfully tight. I've never seen him like that before, it was all new to me, this sudden anger. I always thought of Felix as a peaceful guy, but I shouldn't have. Nobody was perfect like that, and I was too stubborn to see it.

"So, this the dream thing. Huh." Aaron looked around, as smirk on his lips.

"You told him?!" Felix looked pissed.

Okay, that was understatement. He was furious.

"I had to tell someone!" I defended.

"Him? Of all people?" He pointed an angry finger at Aaron.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Aaron stepped forward, the playful smile off his face.

"You stay out of this." Felix commanded. "Why him?"

"Because he's my friend!"

"Is he?" He was almost yelling.

"Oi! Don't shout at her." Aaron's dark eyes seemed to darken even more.

"Shut up!"

"Don't shut me up!"

They were almost at nose to nose point, and it was kind of scary. The clouds darkened, reflecting all of our moods.

"Guys. I'm serious. Back. Off."

They just continued to ignore me, and glared at each other with hatred.

"Did you hurt her?" Felix asked.

"What?" Now I was the one pissed.

"Excuse your ass. I should be the one asking you that question." Aaron retorted, a snarl forming on his lips.

"I would never hurt Kat." Felix said through clenched teeth.

"Yeah? Well, don't you think she'll get hurt when you poof away."

"Aaron..."

Felix's hands unclenched as he looked at me.

"I can't believe this. Why didn't you tell me?"

"What could I have said?It wouldn't change anything."

"It would have. Just telling me would've changed something..." Felix stepped forward and placed his hand on my cheek. "Kat..."

I looked away. I didn't want Aaron to see this.

"Kat...you should've said something."

I semi-snorted. "Said what? That I was scared of you disappearing? It's...pathetic."

"No, it's not. I would have helped you. I can still help you. We'll figure it out."

"When? How do we know whether it's too late or not?"

"Too late?" He dropped his hand to his side.

I sighed, frustrated.

"Kat. What's going on? Talk to me." His eyes were pleading.

"I-I don't know! I'm confused. I need time to think this through." I stepped away.

"What can I do to help?"
