Falling

~CHAPTER 9~

     My breath came shorter. Aiden. Where have I heard that name? Aiden, it feels weird in my mouth but I know I've heard it before. But from where? He feels so familiar, like I've known him for a long time, and im also afraid of him. Why would I be afraid of him though, he looks soo good. He's so tall, and has a nice body and just has the whole package.

    “I see you don’t remember me do you?” he says giving a sad look in his eyes for just a brief moment before its gone.

    “No, im sorry I really don’t, but you feel really familiar to me. Where have we met?”

    “Oh, a long time ago somewhere very far away. I haven’t seen you in ages but you still look just as beautiful as the last time I saw you. How about we take our little discussion into another room where its quieter and less people around to get better acquainted.” he said while eying me up and down.

    He gently touched my cheek and started trailing down to my neck, then down to my collar bone and stopped just short of the first button on my blouse. I couldn’t help it but feel the electric shock of his touch. I could see it in my mind right now what would probably happen if we went into that other room.

     He would walk me in, close and lock the door behind us. He would come up behind me and put his hands on my waist and turn me to face him, and I would. I see him start to lower his face into the nape of my neck and feel his lips send electric bolts threw my body. I would feel one hand start to  unbutton my blouse and the other still on my hip to keep us close. Maybe it was the drunken state I was in but I was finding this scenario with a stranger very erotic.

    I manage to bring myself back to reality as I see he has a sexy little grin on his face like he knows im thing about it. I go to say something, when I feel it. The whole room has just stopped. I look around and its like everyone but me and Aiden have frozen in place. I’m looking around frantically hoping this isn’t one of my episodes when I see him walking towards us looking very pissed off.

    Darian gets closer and closer and I feel the tension in the air. It's so thick you could cut it with a knife. With every step he took I see hes getting more and more pissed off and you can see all the pure hate in his eyes.

    “What the hell are you doing here?” Darian says with pure hatred and anger, also stepping in front of me.

    “Well, hello to you to cuz.” Aiden says with an evil smile growing across his face. “I just came by to see our little friend Kora here, isn’t that what you came for to?”

    “You need to leave, right now, I will not let you near her again. Not after what you did.”

    “What I did? No, no you must have it all wrong, I've never done anything to her. She doesn’t even remember me.”

    “Well, I remember you, and what you caused, I swear, if you don’t leave, and leave her alone and never return, I will make you.” I cant believe Darian was acting like this, like Aiden had done something to me. Did he?

    Before I could come back to realizing what what in front of me I see Aiden step closer to Darian.

    “Alright cuz” he says chilled and laid back “Make me” he says with venom in his voice.

     Darian jumps at Aiden landing one hit to his jaw before their both on the ground rolling around. I scream but nobody comes to stop it, their all still frozen. I yell at both of them to stop but they keep hitting each other. Aiden rolls Darian over and just starts punching him strait in the face. I see Darian trying to block him but Aiden keeps getting his face. I see blood on Aidens hands, and Darians nose.

    I cant help it anymore I have to stop this. I run at them jump on top of Aidens back and start hitting him in the head. I hear him yell in pain but continue. I grab his nose and start to pull on it and I feel his whole body just get up and he throws me off of him. I felt so weightless by how he threw me, like I was nothing. I crash into a hall table and lamp and lie their on the floor.

    My head is killing me and everything starts to fade to black. I call out his name “Darian” but no answer. I see him still lying on the floor and he looks at me and his rage just seems to grow. The last thing I see is shadows before darkness. Darian is surrounded by such a blinding white light that makes me squint my eyes to keep watching where Aiden, he is surrounded by such a black and evil color it scares me.

    I don’t want to go, right here, right now I have to save Darian, but before I can do anything the blackness consumes me, and im just floating. Just floating in a pit of darkness and black, I feel myself start to cry silent tears. Is this what happens when you die? Am I dead? What about Darian, is he ok? I never got to tell him how I felt, I never got to tell him, I love him.

    Suddenly the blackness turns to white, all white. I’m in a nice sized room and im standing on something looking into a mirror in a white wedding dress. It is beautiful. The way it hugs my hips and torso and the sleeves of white lace go to my mid arms.

    The vision skips forward a little and im walking down a beautiful path outside at sun set. I feel the wind and cool breeze on my face as im walking to the end of the corner. I get around the corner and see a long light blue with silver swirl rug leading up to a beautiful little gazebo and to the man I am marring.

    I look to my left and right and see people I feel like I know but don’t quite recognize. I get to the alter, and I see Darian standing right in front of me smiling his ear to ear smile. The look of love and happiness dance in his eyes. I look right at him as a man starts to talk to us. I feel nothing but love and joy until it gets dark.

    As it gets darker and darker I feel the love and joy disappear and the people around start to panic. Darians love filled eyes seem to be filled with worry, and fear of whats to come. Suddenly Darian is pushing me off into the trees screaming at me to run as fast as I can. I take off throwing my shoes to run better. I feel my hair flowing behind me as well as my dress. Then I hear the voice again...Aidens voice and its like in my dream where im running all over again.

    I’m falling, falling into black, what is going to happen now?

    “Kora”

    Wait, what was that?

    “Kora please wake up, can you hear me?”

    I try to go towards the voice but its so hard.

    “Kora, please wake up, I need you, I cant loose you again please wake up.” All in a rush of light, I open my eyes.

    Where am I, how did I get here? Is all I can think about. My head is throbbing and the light is blinding me making my eyes hurt.

    “Oh my god Kora are you ok?” I hear Darian say looking like the beautiful angel he is, even all beaten up and messy, wait what? Why is he beaten up? Where am I? What happen?

    I'm looking around frantically and like he read my mind he started talking slowly.

    “Kora, your in the hospital. At the party, their was a....” I see him start to hesitate and I wonder why. “There was a fight and you ended up being pushed and you fell threw a table and a lamp fell on your head. The doctors say you have a concussion for you to just stay here and relax.”

    I see him start to talk again but I start to get that sharp pain in my head again.

    “Don’t let him lie to you Kora, let me show you what really happen” and like that a flash of all the memories come crashing back to my head. I scream from the pain but it just keeps coming. Everything about Aiden, about them fighting and most importantly, my dream.

    “Darian” I say, with a firm voice “Who the hell, is Aiden?”
