From Dreams to Nightmares

Chapter 24

Octavia's perspective

Everything for me has become a war, in my mind there is war, in my soul there is war. But I'm not fighting anyone but myself. When I looked at her as she stood in front of me with tears streaming down her red cheeks. And I was struggling with the thought of holding her in my arms and saying that I will forgive and forget. As I in my own strange way can tell that the feeling of affection for her was above love.

And I can't lie to myself that I won't forgive her, I know I will. Deep down I've forgiven her a long time ago, I've never really been angry, but my pride will never let me say it out loud or allow myself to humiliate myself for a girl who can always turn her back on me . And now she can stand in front of me and tell me how much she regrets. That my feelings are reciprocated by her entire being, although it is difficult for her to admit. But I can't forgive her until she feels what I felt. Let the sky fall in her head when the only person she wants is standing in front of her and has eyes for another person. Otherwise she will never learn to appreciate what we both have...

It's time to go back to high school too, I care too much about my grades and my future to miss out on such insignificant things. I've gone soft, I've been through much harder things. I shouldn't feel so overwhelmed by this.  Luckily for me I come back to reality when I feel a hand on my shoulder. Arron as usual wearing a tank top and a pair of baggy jeans that fit him like a glove. Honestly whatever he wears he looks good, that's his charm. With a smile on his face and his hands crossed on his chest, he leans against the lockers in the hall looking at me with his green eyes trying to make me curious. "Say Arron, I know you're dying to say something!" I say and he starts laughing loudly and in a much too good mood. Ahh, I can't believe it... "You don't even have to say it, you smell sex from a post office away!"

"Octavia you won't believe it! I was at the workshop, working on a car when a guy... looks like millions, I think he has them. Pull the car into the garage for an oil change. A car like that, I never thought I'd be lucky enough to work on something like that. And I don't know how to do it, yes, from one word to another, I started flirting with him. To understand me, the man did not have a second of hesitation and entered my game.  After a ton of teasing and other conversations he asked me if I wanted to go out with him for a drink in the evening..." Says Arron who spoke with the delight of a child. I didn't think he could be so excited about a person. It's not like she hasn't dated other men before. He had never been so excited.

"And what's the name of this mystery guy of yours?" I ask him, smiling at the joy of seeing him in this state. "He told me his name was Edy, I don't know anything else about him..." Interestingly, in a small town suddenly appears a guy whom he has never seen before. Maybe even this city offers you the opportunity to be happy in the end.... "Well, know that I'm happy for you, you really deserve to find someone to be obsessed with..."

"Do you have any plans for her?" Arron asks, nodding towards the two girls who were watching us. Or rather Kaly who was looking at me and Zoe who was trying to stop her, but it was too late because our eyes met and images from the other night when I couldn't resist and kissed her come back to my mind like a rain of acid. I shouldn't have done that, but I just can't think when I'm around her. She controls me the way she wants and I can't complain that I don't like it because that really makes me want her so much. And I don't just want her body, I want her whole soul.

But my heart stops when from a few meters away I hear an all too familiar voice. I turn my head in shock to the blonde face that was coming running towards me. I didn't think she would recognize me, I changed a lot towards her, but she, she remained the same, as beautiful as ever. But still a viper that destroys your life as much as it would snap its fingers just to take off its clean shirt, although a few minutes ago it was singing whispers of love in your ear...

"Tavy my love, I told you I was coming to you!" She tells me and jumps into my arms kissing me. And I, like a herd of stone, remained in place doing nothing, shocked, as in a nightmare, then with the shred of strength I had, I pushed her off me, taking a small piece of space between us. "Alex what are you doing here?" I ask her taking a deep breath, I didn't even realize I was holding my breath until then. She was the same, and yet I never saw her the same, never had the same lust or excitement again. Now there was nothing!

"I sent you a message some time ago that I was coming to you, you never answered..." she tells me pretending as if she never left me. Like everything she did was just in my head and all my suffering was in vain. But still my gaze drifted to where the girls were who were now watching us and talking to Arron. And Kally looks like she wants to kill someone and that someone was definitely Alex.

And out of nowhere the red-haired girl comes towards us and Alex smiles when he sees her. what the hell is going on "I'm glad to see you again Kally..." the blonde doesn't even manage to say that the girl shakes her hand surprisingly hard and whispers in her ear just for us to hear... "You're dead Alex! You are not capable of a fight with me, you will leave alone with your tail between your legs!" the redhead says and my eyes widen as I realize Alex doesn't stand a chance against her. It's not like she'd be had anyway...

"Kally wait wait for me!" I say trying to catch the girl who nervously walked away, leaving us in the hallway, but due to the hustle and bustle of the world I was unable to catch her, to reach her...
