Forever Alone

Chapter 17

The next day was Sunday and i didn't really do anything. I worked and finished my homework. Watched some TV while doing laundry. I also went to the store later in the evening to get food. While i don't have a job, the church gives me money every month for food and any other supplies i might need for school or for around the house.

After about an hour of being home from the store, there was a knock at my door. Confused as to who it would be, i opened the door to find Aiden. He looked up at me with his red eyes and i felt my body relax in an instant. What is this feeling i keep having towards this boy. He raised his hand so that it was covering my face.

"I command you.......... and forget.......... named........" he spoke in a hush voice that was hard to hear. I felt my body become heavy as i tried to fight it. My body fell to the ground but before my head could hit the ground......

I woke up screaming. The nightmare was terrifying yet it seemed so real to me. I tried to remember yesterday and could recollect everything that happened up until i went to bed.

"It was just a dream." i told myself sitting on the edge of the bed. "Just a dream."

I looked towards my alarm clock to find it five-thirty in the morning. I sighed and went to take a shower to calm myself down. The water felt good running down my skin. It helped me to relax and clear my head.

Was it really just dream or was it real?

I kept asking myself that as I got ready for school. Once I was finished getting dresses i herd a knock on the door. I went to go see who it was and was surprised to see Aiden. What the hell is he doing here?

I opened my door to be met with a smile on Aiden's face.

"Morning Kyra!"

"Morning. What are you doing here?" I tried to ask politely.

"Sound like you don't want me here." he said dropping his smile.

"NO!" i screamed opening the door so it was fully open. "I'm just surprised to see you here. That's all."

"Oh. Well I came to walk with you to school." he said with his smile.

"That's nice of you Aiden. But how do you know where I live?"

"I walked you home Saturday, remember. I only live like five houses down from you." he said pointing down the street.

"Oh yeah." i said with a chuckle. "Let me grab my bag real quick and then I'll be ready."

I walked back inside and grabbed my bag. When I came out I found Lorea outside as well. I smiled at her and she smiled back. I'm so lucky to have a friend like Lorea on my side. As we walked to school something felt off about Aiden. He wouldn't look at Lorea at all. Did she do something to make him mad?

We stopped in front of the school and I told Lorea to go on in before Aiden and myself. I needed to get to the bottom of this feeling I have about this boy.

"Can I ask you something Aiden?" i asked facing him.

"Of course." he said with a smile.

"Do you hate Lorea? On the way hear you couldn't look at her at all without having a sour face."

"I was hoping you wouldn't notice." He said with his red eyes.

"But why?"

"Because you're close to her. Why can't you be close to me the way you are with her!" he yelled.

"Because I don't know you Aiden!" I yelled back. By now everyone was looking at us. "It takes time for someone to know you better to the point that they can act freely around you." I said with a calmer voice.
