I'm sweating, like real hard. He is approaching me but I'm freezed. He is looking at me with his red eyes and He has a dark expression. He starts to unbotton his shirt while moving forward in my direction. He is looking at me with such a disgusted smirk that I feel i'm going to be his victim. He is now so close to me that I can feel his alcoholic breath as he whispers some nasty words to me. He is standing in front of me and suddenly he brings his filthy hand to my blouse and in one swift motion, he tears the shirt and my now exposed chest seems to please him as he runs his fingers on my bra.

"Such a hottie." he says in his disgusted voice.

"No, please don't." I beg but he doesn't seem to pay attention to me as he starts kissing my collar bone while locking my hands behind me.

"Please!! Don't!!!" I cry as I try to get away from him. However he seems to be pissed off as his palm suddenly makes contact with my cheek and a familiar pain errupts inside of me.

"Shut up, bitch." he says as he lifts my chin up. "You either let me have my way without resisting or else I will have my ways with you forcefully. You choose." he says as he starts laughing in contrast to me who is now crying.

"No!! Please don't!!" I cry for help.

I wake up and I start breathing hard. My mind is blank as I try to process everything. It was another nightmare. I'm shaking so much. I touch myself to make sure that I'm okay. However, the jacket that I'm wearing makes me quite calm. I hug it tight around me and It seems to relief me suddenly. I get up from the bed and take a glass of water. I drink all at once as I try to breath normally. I check the clock and it's still 1 a.m. I better go to sleep. I'm afraid to close my eyes again. I don't know what came over me but I took the telephone and I dialed his number. Of course, I remember it. I mean I memorised it at once.

*Ring*Ring*

It's ringing. After 5 rings, he finally answers.

Zac: Hello?
He says in a sleepy voice.

Me: Hey, it's me, Scarlette.
I say nervously.

Zac: What's wrong?

Me: I left my phone at your place.

Zac: I know. But what's wrong?

Me: Nothing.. I just wanted to let you know about the phone.

Zac: Don't lie to me. What's bothering you?

Me: I- I had a nightmare.

Zac: It's okay, I'm here.
I don't know why but when he said that it was so reassuring that I felt ease at once. He was talking so softly to me and it was as if I found a new side of him.

Me: I'm sorry for having disturbed you. I couldn't sleep.

Zac: Shushh. It's okay.

There was then a silence between us and I could hear his faint breath. It was so calm and peaceful at the same time. Neither of us talked, we were just listening to each other's breathing. Finally, he broke the silence.

Zac: So,let's play 20 questions.

Me: Oh uh okay..

Zac: So what's your favourite colour?
Wow, I didn't expect that to be honest. I thought he would ask me something more personal.

Me: White.
I answer confusedly.

Zac: Okay, my turn.

Me: Hmm, What's yours?

Zac: Black.
I expected that.

We keep playing that and I find more about himself. We are quite opposite to each other. For instance, our favourite colors, I love italian foods but he hates italian foods, I hate horror movies but he loves horror movies. Like this, I found more about him. He loves music. He tells me that he often composes his own song lyrics. He loves his dog, Alpha. He came in Canada alone, 3 years ago as his parents still live in UK. He has one sister. I asked more about his family but he brushed it off quickly. So, I also told him a bit about myself. I tell him about why we moved here and about my family business. I tell him about my dream to become a famous writer and he also tells me about his dream to become a famous singer.

Zac: I'll see you later, I guess.

Me: Oh uhh.. you hanging up?

Zac: Well, I would love to keep talking to you but it's already six. You don't want to miss school, do you?

Oh my god. He's right, it's six o'clock. I didn't notice how the time flew by so quickly.

Me: Yeah, see you later, bye.

I get up, fix my bed and do my daily routine. After 30 minutes, I meet Nico downstairs.

"Good-morning." I greet.

"Morning." he says while eating cereals. He doesn't even look at me. He seems not to be in a good mood.

"Are you okay?" I ask and he just nods, still not making eye contact.

"Oh hmm, Kat is picking me up. You coming?" I ask and he looks at me for a few seconds. His eyes drift to my neck and then to my hand in which i'm holding the jacket and he looks at me again.

"I'm going with Liam." he simply states and walks away. Okay this is so weird. What's with him? I'll talk with him later, I guess.

I take Zac's jactet in my hand and wait outside for Kat.
