Okay so this chapter is a little shorter than the rest. I'm so sorry about this but its mostly just a filler chapter.

...

Ally's pov

Ive begun to pull my hair out. Literally. The small hair on the back of my head and the short hairs lining my ear are gone. Its gotten so bad its notable if you look to long.

I'm a mess.

Its been a week since Austin showed up so unexpectedly. I haven't moved, haven't talked to anyone, I've barley slept. The only person I trust is Trish. She told me not to fall for Austin but I did it anyways. When she came over yesterday I expected a "I told you so" but instead she just held me while let my emotions pore on their own.

She's having a party tonight. A sweet 16 even though she's 18. She never got a sweet 16 so I guess she's throwing one now? ½ of me wants to go and ½ have wants to stay home and cry and binge watch Netflix.

I don't even know what to wear if I showed up. I have no way of getting there and I have no clue who else is going.

All this thinking has made me tired. I need a nap.

….

"Hey". I look up and see a drink. My favorite. Cherry Pepsi.

"Hi," i blush "its nice to see you again, Austin." I smile and look down.

"The pleasures all mine" he says popping he lid to his soda can. I look down at mine and tap the top twice for good luck. I try to open it put my hands are so tiny this what should be a simple task turns into a battle. Woman VS. Aluminum soda can. I hear Austin chuckle. He's looking at me, his cheeks rosy with color and his eyes warm and glossy. He smiles "Need some help?" "Oh…" I laugh "Yes please".

He opens my soda with one hand and gently slides it back to me. I grab a straw from the metal dispensers and take my first sip. He's smiling at me again, I act like I don't notice but I can feel my face burning. He laughs "You look cute when you're flustered". I look up "Whaaat, haha I'm not flustered" I smile and tease. "You're beautiful" he says in all seriousness. His eyes are dark and his face pale.

He stands up and sits next to me, blocking me from the booth exit. "May I," he asks looking at my lips.

Ive never been really kissed before. I grow nervous and weary. "Um…I" I break eye contact and take another sip of my soda. "This is good, thank you for getting me this" I politely whisper.

He looks at my lips, then my eyes, then my lips again. My cheeks feels like they're on fire.

"Please" he softly says. His voice is so soft and gentle it gives me butterflies and by breath gets stuck in my throat. I take another sip of soda.

He places a hand on the side of my face, stroking the hair above my ear.

Suddenly the room, the restaurant, goes completely white and all I see is him. His touch is burning me. Physically burning my skin. He leans in and kisses my lips. He places his hands on each side of my face and I feel as though the breath is getting sucked out of my. I try to pull his hands off my only grab my hair. When I grab hand fulls fall out. My hair is falling out! He deepens the kiss and I try to lean away. I look at my hands and they begin to decay. The flesh growing more and more tight around my bones. I feel my face and all my bones are sticking out. He's sucking the life out of me. I look at his eyes. They're open but full of black. No color, no pupils, just black.

I can't move I can't do anything I cant-

…

I wake in a cold sweat. My blankets kicked off the bed and my hair sticking to my forehead. I touch my face and look at my hands. Everything is well.

What the hell was that?

Its 4 in the afternoon. I guess my nap was longer than expected.

I haven't had night terrors since I was 10 and I definitely never had them about him.

What the hell was happening?

My phone buzzes. Its Trish.

5 unread texts. I'm screwed. I unlock my phone and read them one by one.

"You still coming to the party?"

"Ally, please don't ignore me. Your phone is literally in your band 24/7."

"If you want to come you only have like two hours to get ready."

"Ally, please. You're my best friend this is so important to me, please."

"Fine. Whatever…"

A 'fine', 'whatever' and three dots. I'm sooooo screwed. I feel a sinking feeling. A guilty feeling? I need to call Trish.

I dial the number.

Voicemail.

I try again.

Automatic voicemail.

Shit.

I ponder what I need to do. I know exactly what I should do but I don't want to. I hate parties. All I ever do it sit awkwardly on the couch and deny any beverage giving to me. Plus every single house smelts like same. It reeks of alcohol, regret, and other probably illegal substances. Its not my kind of thing. I know Trish is my best friend and I love her, I really do, but I cant do it. I wont surround myself like that. I'll call her tomorrow.

My mind is tired and my body aches. I'm also still sweaty from my dream. I should get into the shower but my motivation to do anything is gone. I lay on me bed, slowly drifting off yet again.

…

I'm at a party? Trish's party maybe? Who knows, doesn't change the fact that I don't want to be here. I look around, look at people faces. Everyone has the same eye color. Blue. Normal blue eye color? I notice many people are starting conversations but no sound it being said. They're mouths are moving but I can't hear anything.

I look around more and all the couples kissing aren't actually kissing? It looks as if they're kissing the air?

Something isn't right. I need to leave.

I jolt to the door but the hall ways grows longer, far away from the reach. I pick up my speed but the hallwayed door continues to mover further away from me. I turn kept and open the closet door to me. In panic I run threw the door way.

Suddenly I'm sitting on a couch. What the hell? I'm at a different house. A different party. I have never seen these people before. I stand up, slowly waking and taking in my every surroundings.

I make my way to the stair case that leads up stares. I hear static. Like the sound a TV makes when its not connected to its proper channel.

Suddenly I'm in a bedroom. The lights off. I'm in a bed. I jolt to sit up. I'm naked. A hand rubs my back and I jump out of the bed covering myself with the blanket.

Its Austin.

He makes his way over to me and asks me something. I can't hear him. I try to tell him I can't hear but my mouth never moves. He grabs me and wraps me in his arms. Pulling me the bed.

He climbs on top of me and begins to kiss my neck. I try to move. Try to talk but nothing is happening. His kisses trail to my breasts and I feel my body turn to ice. He looks up at me,confused. Then startled. He gently places his thumb under my nose. When he pulls his hand back I see blood.

I hear static again.

…

I wake up in panic. Two nightmares including Austin in one night. Amazing.

I need a shower.

And a new sub conscious.
