Love me like you do

Chapter 9

I looked around trying to catch my breath, I was alone in my room, it was a dream, none of it was real.

I grabbed my phone and texted him.

'Hey, I just had a bad dream Sarah caught us. I had a panic attack.'

'I'm sorry, can I help you in any way?'

'Can you come over?'

'Sarah is here, I'm sorry.'

'Okay, never mind then.'

'Just breathe, relax, lay down.'

'Okay.'

'I wish I could help but I can't leave.'

'It's fine. I miss you.'

'Miss you too.'

'Hope to see you soon.'

'Yeah, tomorrow.'

'Good night.'

'Good night.'

I turned around and fell asleep a few minutes later, I knew it was wrong, the entire situation, but I really liked him, but I was scared Sarah would find out about us, she would hate me, I didn't want to ruin her life.

The next morning, I woke up to a gentle kiss.

"Morning."

"Morning.", I mumbled.

"Breakfast is ready, your mom sends me."

"Can't you just lie down with me?"

"Maybe later but not now."

"Please.", I grabbed his hand.

"Five minutes.", he sat on the bed.

"I feel terrible."

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you yesterday."

"It's okay.", I hugged him.

"Did you have a panic attack?", I just nodded.

He just hugged me tight, I took a few deep breaths until I calmed down. After a few minutes, we went down.

"He has a very tight sleep.", he lied, walking into the kitchen.

"Well, you're right in time for breakfast.", my mom said.

We had a nice breakfast and he left with Sarah, so I sat on the sofa, trying to read a book. My mom sat next to me, looking at me.

"What's wrong?", I asked.

"Nothing, is there something you want to tell me?"

"No?"

"You seem so happy, any reason for that?"

"Can't I be happy?"

"You like him don't you?"

"Who?", I got nervous.

"Avan."

"No, he's Sarah's boyfriend."

"Doesn't mean you don't like him."

"And it doesn't matter if I like him or not."

"Don't let your heart get broken sweetie.", she kissed my cheek.

One hour later they came back, but not for long.

"Hey, mom, I'm just going to pick up my bag, we're going shopping."

"Okay, honey. Why don't you ask Mason if he wants to join?"

"Mom!"

"Oh come on, you can treat yourself with some new clothes from time to time."

"I'm sure they won't like it."

"I am fine with it.", Avan smiled.

"Maybe Missy can find something good to wear then, but don't think I would pay for it.", Sarah laughed.
