It felt like the time stood still, like the moment Brook and I were having would last for an eternity. It felt like the sun was only shining on us, it was giving us warmth and light but everything else was dark and cold. It felt like the ground beneath us was gone and while we were falling down, thousands of fireworks went off in the background. It felt perfect.

It felt perfect until the kitchen timer went off and ruined everything with its aggravating noise. The ringing went on for a few seconds until I had enough and moved out from under Brook. The enchiladas. The damn enchiladas.

I got them out of the oven and started putting them on the plates. 'What a way to ruin that moment' I thought to myself. "So... the enchiladas are done." I say walking to the table with two plates. "They look delicious." Brook says and starts eating.

The air is filled with awkward tension, it's taking away my ability to speak and I can't look at Brook anymore. We both just sit there, looking down at our plates while eating the enchiladas, not saying a word.

"I should go..." I suddenly hear Brook say. I jerk my head up and look at him but I'm not able to speak. It feels like my jaw is wired shut. I try to speak but my mouth won't open to let the words fall out.

Brook looks at me confused and starts to gather his stuff. I keep looking at him not moving and not talking. I don't know what's happing to me, why can't I talk or move? Brook stops at the door and looks back at me. The person who is still not moving or talking. He looks me in the eyes and I hope he can see the desperation and sadness in them so he knows I don't want him to leave.

But instead of staying, he says "See ya tomorrow, have a good night." and leaves me alone in my room. "Goodnight." I whisper.

'This sucks, I had the opportunity to kiss him. He was so close, I felt his breath against my face and then the enchiladas.' I let out a long irritated groan and slam my hands on my face. "Ouch." Great, now this. Fuck. My. Life.

I lay in my bed and try to fall asleep. The key word there is "try". Because the night couldn't go any better, my brain obviously decides to go on overdrive while I'm trying to sleep. This happens too often and it's been going on for quite a while now. Nothing has helped, yes the counting but it still takes me a long time to fall asleep.

And no, sleeping pills aren't an option. I can't swallow pills, every time i try it's like my throat closes and nothing goes through it anymore. So I'll just lay here until my brain stops and I fall asleep, or i won't sleep it's one or the other.

*next day in maths*

"Hey man, do you understand any of this?" Sonny asks me. "No, not really." I say. I don't even know what the teacher is teaching us since I'm too busy bickering in my mind.

"Mister Duff, is the back of Mister Wyatt's head more interesting than my lesson?" the teacher says. I slide down in my seat and look at my book. Did the teacher really just do that to me?! I can't even.... I hate my life so much aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!

I feel eyes burning my skin. I look up and my eyes lock with another green pair. It feels like they are looking through my soul and honestly I'm not liking it. It feels like I can't breathe anymore, it's like the eyes swallow me in.

But I can't stop looking.

This is not a very long chapter but that's cause I'm building towards something.
I hope it will work out as I want it to but yeah.
You can buy pepernoten in The Netherlands now and it's the best candy there is so if you're ever coming here... come in the winter cause then you can buy pepernoten.
I hope you like this chapter.
Peace!
