The song for this chapter is Nightmare by Arshad

And btw the picture of Thomas being Newt his his reaction on the Skype call at the start of the chapter.
-

"Hey," I say on Skype as Thomas' face pops up. He hasn't changed at all,and that sends me relief.
"Hey Emma. How's life?"
"Good,everything okay?"
I stay silent. Should I tel him?
"Emma..."
"Look. Tom,"
"Emma you're scaring me what happened,"
"Look promise you won't over react,"
"I can't promise everything,"
I pull up my shirt to reveal my chest. He gasps when he sees it,his face drops.
"What happened?"
"A knife,"
"Oh my God!" (His face is the picture image)
"Tom..."
"Is this because of me?"
"No. No!"
"I'll call you back later goodnight,"

And with that he ends the call.

I take my medicine in the morning. My mum and dad are at work and my sister needed to pop out for food so I hang back. I walk past and see my sisters room. It's all purple and there in her desk sits her piano. She was amazing at it. Me? Not so much but I was home alone and there was not harm in trying...

"Everything is going to change
Nothing's going to be the same
What we know is good and gone
The life we lived has come undone

So wake me from this terrible nightmare
This wicked little game I never wanted to play
An answers gotta be somewhere out there
Equations need solutions and we'll solve it today

Get out of my head
Get out of my mind
Whatever you put me through
I'll come out alive

When the sun disappears and the knights have fallen
And the clouds all departs
I won't hear you calling
In my head

A flare of hope
A flare of light
A flare though darkness in the night

To remember
To survive
To run a blade into a life

I'm living in a terrible nightmare
This wicked little game I never wanted to play
An answers gotta be somewhere out there
Equations need solutions and we'll solved it today

Get out of my head
Get out of my mind
Whatever you put me through
I'll come out alive

When the sun disappears and the knights have fallen
And the clouds all departs
I won't hear you calling
In my head

We push and bleed to catch a breath
To float above the stiff of death
Yet nothings making sense in my mind

A soldier falls in to the dark
And only forced to hit his mark
And nothings left to clam but defeat

And it hurts
Like a broken promise
Stings like a grieving sadness
Hurts
And it hurts
And it hurts

Get out of my head
Get out of my mind
Whatever you put me through
I'll out alive

When the sun disappears and the knights have fallen
And the clouds all departs
I won't hear you calling
In my head

I'm living in a terrible nightmare
I'm living in a terrible nightmare
Just wake me from this terrible nightmare

I'm living in a terrible nightmare
I'm living in a terrible nightmare
Just wake me from this terrible nightmare"

"Amazing!" A voice gasps.
I practically jump off my chair as I flip round to see Alex and Will.
"How did you get in?" I ask in shock.
"We know where you hide your spare key Emma," Will says "You hanging out today?"
"Sure. Why not. My sister will be back in about ten minutes so I can go out then. Is Dylan free today?"
"Yeah. We also said we'd knock on Brenda," Will says.
"So you guys,have you taken a liking to her,"
Well. I know Will has.
"Yes." Alex nods "Plus. She's your friend,"
"Okay. So where are we going?"
"The museum," Alex groans "Because Will decided it,"
"I got free tickets!" Will says. "From my school,"

We take the bus- it's pretty clear no one wants to go. Well,maybe Brenda. She sits next to Will. I have to admit it's pretty cute to see them together. Brenda is a sweet girl,and she told me who she's never kissed a boy before. Maybe with Will,she will soon.

We enter the museum,sign in and get onto the elevator.
"So where should we go first?" Brenda asks.
"The gift shop," Dylan offers.
"Cafe," Alex suggests.
Will just scoffs and presses a random button,the doors open to reveal a room full of animals. Terrifying,huge statues of bears and spiders which are flashing their horrible fangs. I don't even want me near them.

We go floor after floor,watching the different movies and shows which are on offer. About all the different eras and periods in history. I know quite a lot but I had to admit it was pretty fascinating. Just a shame I was back to school soon. But luckily I'd have all my friends. It just wouldn't be the same without Thomas,we were in every single lesson. Except PE. But at least I had a female friend now, Brenda. I wasn't the best at making friends,I always found it difficult to fit in. Maybe I'm not the type of girl the other girls like. But they all loved Dylan,what would they think of me and him being together, but I didn't have to tell anyone. We didn't have to show it,and I'm pretty sure Brenda won't say anything. Same with Alex and Will. They'll probably be too distracted missing Thomas to actually notice and pay attention to me.

We stop at the gift shop,I buy a stick of rock and a beautiful crystal which hangs from a black thick piece of string, we eat in the cafe afterwards then on the bus ride back we make sure Will and Brenda sit together as we watch in patience. Waiting for Will to make his move. But he doesn't say anything,just gives her an awkward smile. I feel like screaming at them.
"Did you enjoy today?" Will asks her.
"Yes," she says "It was pretty fun,"
"You interested in history at all?"
"Not really. I'm more into English,poetry and writing,"
"Me too. That's so strange! Um." He clears his through "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure,"
"Do you think,we could go out sometime?"
"You mean,girlfriend and boyfriend?"
"Yes,"
"I'd love that,"

I high five both Dylan and Alex. Feeling triumphant. Apart from that I'm feeling a little upset for Alex. It's a little weird,having a friendship group with five instead of six. But it's perfect just as the way it is, I couldn't and don't want to imagine it any different.

When I arrive home I walk up to my room and see a note on my desk.
'Meet me outside in your garden'

I walk outside and I look up to see a figure standing there. At first I can't believe it. No it can't... I can barely make out the words..

"Thomas?"
