Into The Night

While Anna was asleep, many things were going through her frequent nightmare of a certain night that has been plaguing her for the past ten months. The first two memories were the curtains of the house being wide open, and then, with her slowly running through the dark forest. Next were three children, with two boys both wearing the same outfit of a blue shirt tucked in, and a black tie, while the girl wore a simple school uniform. Then came an image of a white door and a deep, mysterious liquid, most likely blood, and it was slowly pouring down the keyhole of the same white door.

Drops of another liquid, that led to a trail of it coming down a wooden floor, and finally, the school girl dropped a glass of milk, which turned to blood right when the glass had shattered on the floor. A quick image of a body, which seemed to be one of the boys, entered Anna's mind before she suddenly woke up, and took a deep breath to calm herself down, until she heard the sound of her bedroom window opening.

"Hey, don't be afraid, I just didn't wanna wake your parents up." It was a soft voice that came from Anna's recent boyfriend, Matthew Hendricks, who had managed to safely make it through the window without getting himself hurt.

"Matt. Where were you? We waited down at the rock just like you said." Anna reminded, while getting out of her bed, and walking over to him.

"Yeah, I know." Matt replied, and had sounded like he was beginning to catch a cold, and Anna soon noticed that his shirt was very wet.

"What happened? You're all soaked." Anna said, as she had started to unbutton Matt's damp plaid shirt.

"Yeah, I fell and hurt my back or something." Matt responded, while Anna slowly helped him pull the shirt off from his body.

"Here. Come and sit down." Anna suggested, and she walked back to have a seat on her bed, while Matt did the same, and also laid his shirt down on it.

"I'm sorry it's so late, but it's just..." Matt trailed off, and after a few seconds of complete silence between them, he spoke up again. "I think you need to know the truth about what I saw that night."

"Tell me." Anna replied, but what he saw on that night didn't really matter to her when she could tell that he was still feeling cold.

"You're shivering." Anna mentioned, while smoothly rubbing down Matt's left shoulder and arm with her right hand.

"I can't feel anything. I'm scared, Anna." Matt said, as his body still trembled with saying all of those words.

"Don't be." Anna softly whispered, and a few slow seconds later, her face had started to come much closer to Matt's.

Their eyes didn't escape from one another as their lips finally met and both of them laid a hand on each other's cheeks. Anna ran her right hand through Matt's hair, while he ran his left hand down the left side of Anna's clothed body. While they continued to kiss, She did the same with her hand coming down the left side of Matt's bare back. The lip locking soon became even more intimate and passionate, with it becoming close to a French kiss when Anna suddenly pulled away.

"Matt, there's something that I need to know if we're going to go any further with what's happening between us right now." Anna said.

"Yeah, sure. Anna, what is it?" Matt asked, while being curious to whatever it was that she wanted to know from him.

"Do you really love me, because every time that I see my dad with Rachel, as much as I hate to admit it, I actually believe that he actually does care about her." Anna replied.

"Yes, Anna. I do love you very much, and that's why if you were ever to be taken away and gone forever in my life, then it would be so hard and painful for me to keep on living with myself." Matt responded.
