The Boy Next Door ✑(h.s.)

sixteen

Chapter 16

"Get the hell away from me Poppy!" She screams as her parents stand in the doorway along with two burly men in white uniform.

"Please know I'm doing this because I love you. I don't want to see you do this to yourself anymore Angie. I can't physically stand this anymore. Please, don't fight it."

"You're so pathetic Poppy! I thought you were my friend!! I never want to see you again!" She yells again, only this time Angie's face forms. Her once bright blue eye are now a jade green, and her long black hair was replaced with familiar brown curls.

"H-Harry?" I question, tears forming in my eyes again. I inch closer as he reaches for the lamp and pulls it to the floor, breaking it instantly. "I said stay away from me!" He yelled as he contradicted his words and came closer to me. His hands finding their way to my neck. I look over to the doorway, and find no one there. Suddenly our entire surroundings change as we are no longer in Angie's room, but in the middle of nothing. Just black. A single light shone on Harry and I as he remained constricting the oxygen I was intaking.

"H-Harry, please. I-I can't.." I said losing air by the second. Black began blurring my vision.

"You can't breathe? Maybe now you know how she felt when you betrayed her."

All i remember before blackness takes over were the hot tears that were streaming down my face and Harry looking down at me.

"Poppy! Poppy!!" I hear beside me. I suddenly jolt up and grab my neck. It was a dream?

I look to the side to see Harry, his body next to mine as I must have dozed off while we were cuddling.

"Babe you were shouting, and you're drenched. Are you okay?" he asks while rubbing my back and moving stray hairs out of my face and those stuck to my forehead.

My breathing was ragged and uneven. My head was pounding and I just wanted to cry. "Yeah." I say, not even convincing myself. "I'm fine. Just a nightmare I guess."

"What was it about?"

"Uhm, it was, it was about a monster. But it's okay, the monster was killed in the end. Still freaked me out."

He pulled us back down as we laid on my bed. Our fronts facing each other, his eyes fixed in mine. Almost as if he were looking past the sorrow, and trying to see what I saw. At that, I hope he never does. He doesn't need to be brought into that.

And plus we've only been an actual couple for a couple of weeks now, so I definitely wasn't going to plan on scaring him away. I couldn't stop but wonder what that dream meant. It started out so familiar. It was they day her parents had planned on committing her. No matter how Angie saw it, what I did, was for her benefit.

Had I really betrayed her though? The Harry in my dream killed me for it, showing me how Angie felt.

Harrys hand made its way to my cheek, rubbing it tenderly. He tucks a stray hair behind my ear and places a kiss to my forehead.

"It's okay Poppy, I'll keep you safe from whatever monsters are chasing you. I promise."

I smiled and moved into his embrace. My head nestled into his chest, his harms draped over my back, holding me close. I would be okay. Harry will keep me safe. I don't have to worry. Everything will be fine.
