Darkness all around. Running footsteps. People screaming. Someone panting in exhaustion. Red eyes.

"Get back here bitch!"

"No!"

Footsteps rushing. The darkness following. Looking back those red eyes were there. Someone screamed.

"ANGIE!"

I woke up panting, Will sat next to me on my bed. I looked around frantically.

"You okay?"

"Red eyes." I whispered.

"Huh?" Will asked.

"Nothing. I'll be fine Will. Don't worry about me. Go back to sleep."

Will just looked at me and nodded. He left and closed the door when he went out. I looked out the window. Those red eyes still appering in my mind. I looked out the window. I closed my eyes but those red eyes just came more visibly. I snapped my eyes opened.

"Shit. He's coming."

-next day-

Both me and Will boarded the bus in the morning.

"Hey guys." Layla said.

"Hi." Will said.

I remained silent. Taking the seat next to Warren as usual I stared off into space.

"Hey. Angie? You okay?" Warren asked as he put his hand on my shoulder.

I remained silent for a while. "Yeah I'm fine."

He nodded, but looked as if he didn't believe me.

Will it continue? If it does will it come true?

I put my head in my hands in frustration. I growled. I felt Warren's eyes stare at my back.

"I'm fine. If I feel like telling you I'll tell you Warren." I said smiling at him.

He just remained concerned but let it drop.

If it does. Dear god help us all.

The day passed without any huge happenings. Though I remained silent. The others just looked at me and each other concerned but didn't ask me. We all went over to Magenta's house to do our homework. Warren took me out to the backyard for some privacy,

"I let it drop on the bus and the whole time for the remainder of school, but I just can't let it pass anymore." He said.

"I'll tell you when I feel like it." I said.

"No now." He said.

"I'm fine." I said angrily.

He looked at me then glared. "What the hell was all the crap you were telling me the other day. 'Everyone has different of showing they care. You have yours and i have mine.' What the hell were you telling me that you'd help me when you are pushing me away?"

"This doesn't have anything to do with you."

"No but it does with you and your my friend."

I didn't reply.

"So this is how it's going to be? You get into our business but you won't let us get into yours? You care for us but you won't let us care for you. If it is then I really wonder whether or not being ytour friend is worth the while."

My eyes widened.

He turned to leave. He passed me and grabbed the doorknob. I grabbed his wrist.

"Stop. Don't go. I'll tell you. Just don't go."

He turned and saw me in tears.

"I'm worried all right. My father. If he is back he'll murder everyone. And the nightmares. If they come true then everyone's as good as dead."

He looked at me. "He'll come after everyone?"

"Yeah. But not without killing me and everyone I know."

"Why you?"

"He killed my mother. Why not me? I'm a reminder of his stupid mistake. That's what I am I'm a mistake. Something that wasn't meant to be born."

"That's not true. Everyone here cares for you. Your family loves you like there's no tomorrow. And your friends they're always here for you."

"Even you?"

"Even me." He said.

He walked up to me and lifted my chin to make me look at him. He wiped the tears. We looked at each other. Both unaware that our faces were coming closer. Then our lips met. We both seperated.

"Let's back in there and annoy the hell out of Will." I said.

"But first you tell everyone."

"Fine."

We both smiled and walked in holding hands not caring whether or not we get taunted.
