*november 2nd*
he starts to get closer, spit falling from his mouth. it's all over for me, he got me. the demogorgan grabs me.
"no!" i scream.
i quickly snap of out of my dream, sitting up covered in sweat and tears.
"will, babe, what happened?" mike asks.
"h-he got me," i manage to stutter out.
"it's okay, i'm here. you're safe," mike whispers.
he pulls me into his lap and kisses my head. after about an hour, i manage to calm down, and mike can go back to sleep. i can't fall back asleep though, i know the same dream will happen. i start to get myself ready for school, i shower, get dressed in one of mike's sweaters, and jeans. i brush my hair out, i end by actually eating a really breakfast of eggos. i just sit until my mom gets up for work.
"did you have a nightmare?" my mom asks.
"yeah, i didn't want to keep mike up. i'm okay now," i respond.
"he's a good boyfriend," my mom states.
"yeah he is."
*2:30 pm*
i start to grab myself, today was a crappy day, almost got beat up by troy again, mike wasn't there ninth period.
"hey mike, you ready?" i start to ask.
"yeah, his nightmares are so annoying," mike states.
my eyes start to water up with tears. i thought he actually cared.
"mike," ethan reyes says, noticing me.
"will, i didn't mean it!" mike states.
i start to run away, i don't want to see him.
"will!" mike yells.
"no, mike! save it! you know those nightmares haunt me to no end! we're done!" i shout.
i just keep walking, max comes up behind me.
"hey, will what's wrong?" max asks.
"mike and i broke up," i write in my notebook.
i'm not talking anymore, i did it for three years, i can do it more.
"why?"
"he said my nightmares are annoying. i love him, but i just can't," i write.
"i'm going to beat him up!" max yells.
i shake my head 'no.' i can't believe it, four months of my life, down the drain.
