17·A Shoulder to Cry On

I woke up on a bed, gasping, and sweating. I looked around at the familiar environment. I heard the bed move beside me and then felt a hand on my thigh. My cheeks were wet from the tears. 'It was just a dream Y/n,' I reassure myself in my head. 'It was all just a dream.'

"Y/n, are you okay?" asked my boyfriend as he looked at me, worried. I shook my head no. "Do you want to talk about it or just need a shoulder to cry on'" I stretched my arms out to him wanting him to hug him. That dream, I couldn't tell him about my previous relationships. Not yet anyway. I wasn't ready for that conversation yet. He pulled me into his chest as I cried. Trying to be silent as to not wake the boys up.

That night I cried myself back to sleep.

I was walking alone to Y/f/n and Jenn's house. I needed the comfort of a close friend right now. I had been getting nightmares for the past week now, and in all of them, somehow, in a different way every night, Daniel would die in all of them. Sometimes he died in the most absurd deaths. Like eating tacos or slipping in the shower. But there were times that were horrible. Blood everywhere and other things I would prefer not to mention.

I knocked on the door and soon after, Y/f/n came to open it. She welcomed me in and she showed me around. She seemed pretty proud of her home. She also showed me the two turtles they had. I'm getting off track.

Me and Y/f/n sat down on the couch and that's when she noticed the frown on my face. The smile on her face faded and she asked me, "What's wrong?"

"It's just these past nights I have been sleeping with Daniel more often," I say and Y/f/n smirks while raising a brow. I blush. "Not that way Y/f/n. This is serious," She mutters an okay and I continued what I was saying earlier. My voice started to crack as I tried not to cry. This was all too much. "Well, I've been getting these nightmares every night. They're horrible, every time he, he... he dies and I don't know what to do. I don't want to tell him yet. It's just, too much."

"Okay," she says. "But why did you come here?"

"I guess I just need a shoulder to cry on."

I was speed walking down the street to the Starbucks where I met Mateo. When I saw the cafe a few meters away from me I started running to it. I opened the door and moved behind the counter. "Sorry, I'm late," I apologized to Mateo as I put on the green apron on top of my black sweater. He just shrugged.

Throughout the morning I gave people their orders. I did my job. Yes, kids, I got a job at Starbucks. I was trying to save up some money for stuff. Trying to become more independent. With that, my nightmares and the tutoring sessions, the stress was becoming too much to handle.

I was making some hot chocolate for someone when I saw someone familiar walk into the place. I continued making the chocolate. The customer paid me and I waved them goodbye. The next customer walks up to me and I smile at them. "Let me guess," I say. "You'd like some apple juice."

"How did you know?" He says and his blue eyes stare into mine. He smiles at me and leans to kiss me over the counter, but I place a finger on his lips to stop them before they can touch mine.

"Not now Daniel," I say with a sweet smile. "I'm working."

I gave him his apple juice and he paid me the money. As he handed me the money he told me, "Come talk to me when your shift ends." He went to sit at the table and looked through his phone as he drank and waited. Boy was he going to wait a long time.

I took off the green apron I was forced to wear and headed over to the table where Daniel was sitting. I had gotten my own drink. Hot chocolate to be precise. Once I sat down, the first thing Daniel does is kiss me.
