Not into it

Part 28 - Somethings not right.

It was pitch black. I was standing in an old, dirty room which had no furniture, crumbling walls and an unusual scent to it. I could here this odd whisper telling me things; 'You're not loved.' 'Nobody wants you' 'Kill yourself'. I try to scream but I can't. I try and try until I can't breathe the voice turns into several voices. Screaming and shouting at me. Telling me I'm not good enough. I wake up to Justin frantically shaking me by my shoulders.
"Chloe! Baby are you okay." He says as he cradles me in his arms as I ioen my eyes immediately.
"What happened." I said. Feeling my face with tears everywhere and I was shaking.
"I don't know, you were sleep talking then you started shouting and kicking you legs saying 'help'. Di you have a bad dream Baby?" Justin asks kissing my forehead.
"Yeah, I did. I-I don't know what happened to me." I say looking at my trembling hands in confusion.
"Well you're safe here with me. I won't let anything happen to you." Justin says holding me by my shoulders and looking me in my eyes reassuringly.
"I know I'm safe when I'm with you." I say smiling and wiping away my tears.
"Try and get some sleep Chloe, its 2:44am." Justin says looking at his phone lock screen.
"Yeah." I say as we both lie back down.
About 20 minutes later Justin fell back to sleep. I sat up in bed wide awake and just was thinking about my nightmare. I've never had that happen to me before, why now? It was now 6:00am and I still hadn't had any sleep. I could see the light starting to shine through the blinds so I got up. I wasn't really hungry so I didn't bother making breakfast. I sat on the sofa and watched some TV. Because it was early only morning shows were on and I didn't particularly like them but I settled with it anyway. At about 8:30am, Justin got out of bed.
"Good morning." He said coming into the living room and kissing me.
"Hey." I said smiling.
"You okay? Did you get back to sleep?" Justin asks sitting next to me.
"No, I couldn't get back to sleep so I got out of bed at 6 but I've been up since 2." I say.
"Chloe what did you dream about?" Justin says facing towards me and putting his arm across the sofa.
"Well Urm.. so I was in this ur dark room. Yeah, and er, I um, I was alone and scared.. Then, Hmm, I like." I struggled to explain.
"Chloe. Take a deep breath and tell me." He says gently. I breathe in and out slowly and and explain as best as I can.
"Why would you think about that?" Justin asks me.
"I'm not sure, I can't control what I think when I'm asleep." I say rubbing my face.
"Well don't worry about it, it was a silly nightmare." I say.
"Come on, let's go out for breakfast." I say.
"Alright." Justin says. We go to iHop and get pancakes. I got 2 pancakes with strawberries and chocolate sauce. I ate 2 strawberries and a pancake.
"Aren't you hungry?" Justin says.
"Not really." I say feeling a little sick.
"Don't worry, how about we meet the gang?" Justin says whilst checking his phone.
"Sure, let's go." I say smiling and grabbing my bag.
Later that day:
We were all at Zeyneps house and we're all just hanging out.
"Hey boys, go in the kitchen and order a pizza or something." Zeynep says sitting next to me.
"Sure." Bradley says giving her a peck as him and the other boys go in the kitchen.
"Zey, I doubt they all needed to go order a pizza." Pritika said laughing. I laughed too.
"Yeah it only takes one person." Isabel says rolling her eyes playfully.
"I wanted to tell you something when Bradley wasn't in the room though." Zeynep interrupts.
"What?" I say.
"Bradley told me he's in love with me!" Zeynep exclaims. We all shriek in excitement for her.
"SHHH!" She stops us. "I don't want him thinking that I've told you all, he might be embarrassed or something.
"Okay we won't." Zara says and we all smile. The boys come back in.
"A little birds told me that Someone said they were in love with you Zeynep." Justin says.
"Bro I told you to zip it!" Bradley complains. We all laugh at his embarrassment whilst Zeyneps face goes bright red.
