**PRESENT TIME (not a dream anymore)**

The last ten minutes seamed to consist of me scrolling up and down, staring at my blank phone screen, and sipping watery coffee from the free machine.

I rubbed my hands together for around the tenth time this minute, trying to stop my palms from getting clammy and disgusting.

The hot drink didn't benefit the situation, it made me more hot and uncomfortable with each sip.

After around another five minutes of me sitting doing nothing a tall man walked out of the office door.

He had bright read hair, which stuck up everywhere. He was wearing a denim jacket and skinny black jeans that were ripped at the knees.

"Charlotte?" He looked over at me and the only other person in the room. I stood up to signal that I was here and I made my way towards him.

"Hi. Come inside" he held the door open and allowed me to walk inside.

The room was small and plain. There were two chairs and a desk, it had a computer, phone and some papers sprawled across it.

I went and sat on the chair that I had assumed was mine. I perched on the edge, I didn't want too get comfy seeing as I wouldn't be staying long.

"Okay so I know why you're here but do you?" The tall man sat on the other chair, instantly making him eye level with me.

I just stared at him. Right in the eye. I didn't feel the need to talk too him when I had nothing to say.

"Charlotte? Did you hear me?" He looked at me with sympathetic eyes.

I nodded, then looked away again.

"Charlotte if you don't talk to me I can't help you"

"Well I don't want to talk too you because I don't need too" I crossed my arms and huffed.

He sighed then picked up a clipboard and pen.

"Your mum says you have been having nightmares recently"

"She's not my mum." I looked away from him and stared at the plain, grey carpet which was covered with coffee stains and dirt.

"Well your guardian then. She told me you've been waking up crying and in deep panic" He looked down at his paper before returning his eyes too me.

"Maybe I have. Maybe I haven't"

"Charlotte you need to talk too me!" his words were stern and threatening.

"Fine. I have been having nightmares. Every night! My brother is dead and the last thing I said to him was 'I hate you'. How'd you feel if that was you? You don't understand, your just some stupid man who gives stupid advice! I didn't ask for your help so stop trying to give it to me!" I wiped the tear off my cheek and bolted towards the door.

I ran out of that stupid advice centre and went to the furthest place possible. I needed to get away from everything.

After walking around town for hours i felt a drop of rain fall onto my head. One drop at a time, I was soon drenched.

I found a small tree and decided to go and sit under it until the rain wasn't as heavy.

I crouched down and leant my head on the bumpy, uncomfortable tree trunk and closed my eyes. Allowing the whispers of the rain take my mind away...
