Chapter Eleven

I turned to see the rest of my friends doing the same, tears spilling out as saw Caleb and Noah both pointing at me.

"Caleb?" I asked, my voice breaking, "Noah?" He didn't even flinch.

My heart broke. I never thought... Why would my friends do this to me? What has this world come to?

Behind Noah's head was a poster. There was nothing significant about that fact, apart from the fact that I couldn't read it. Like the note from my brother earlier. My heart going into cardiac arrest and my body trembling, I realised something.

"You can't read in dreams," I whispered to myself. My eyes widened, the school beginning to fade out around me, "You can't read in dreams!" I yelled.

I jolted up, suddenly, startled when I realised I was sitting in my bed. I had been dreaming. Dreaming. I was actually dreaming. Though, that definitely wasn't a past life. That was my present life.

I jumped again when I saw a figure leaning over my desk.

"Noah? What the hell?" I watched him jump slightly, before he scratched the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Sorry, Iz, I left something here on Saturday," he said, going back to his search, "oh and your brother said to wake up."

I wasn't even listening to him. It was something about the mere sight of him after the dream I had just had that broke me. I really, really thought that they all hated me. I didn't feel relieved that it was a dream, though, I felt terrified. If those are their reactions in a dream, what will be their reactions in real life?

I didn't even realise I was crying until I felt a liquid trickle down my left cheek. I sniffed, trying to halt the sobs inside of me. But I just couldn't do it. A loud sob escaped me and Noah glanced over at me.

"Iz? Isobel, are you okay?" He asked worriedly, walking over to me. "Hey," he said, sitting down beside me and pulling me into him. "You're way too pretty to be crying this early in the day," he said, making me laugh.

"Was it a nightmare?" He asked, "Something bad happen in your past life?" That just made me cry harder.

"It's all in the past, Isobel, it can't hurt you now." He said, uselessly comforting me with half of the information he needed.

I shook my head. "It will hurt me. It will." I said, choking on my tears.

He pulled me closer to him. "I won't let it." He said, pressing a kiss to the top of my head. He froze after that, probably just as surprised as me that he did that. For some reason, though, what he had said had managed to comfort me.

I pulled away from him, brushing away the tears. "Thanks, Noah."

He smiled at me before checking the time on his phone. "I'd love to give you a lift to school but I actually need to fill it up so I gotta go." I nodded, watching him pass me one last concerned look before he left.

I sighed, groaning into my hands.

I had a dream.

But it wasn't what I wanted.

I turned around on my bed to see that same coffee cup and biscuit waiting for me on my bedside table. I couldn't help but smile at it again, though this was how my horrible nightmare had began. I picked up the note, and this time I could read it.

'Drink up, Belly'

I rolled my eyes at the nickname but finished my coffee before getting ready quick enough that I had time to my hair look extra nice today.

Leaving the house, I tried to pick a song to play as I walked to the bus stop. When it reached his stop, Caleb joined me and his eyes seemed to take in my appearance. I almost prompted him to speak but took his blush as an unspoken compliment.

When it was time to get off the bus, my heart started to beat faster. This is where it all happened. The nightmare within my nightmare. I tried to calm myself down as Caleb and I hit a big crowd. I lost him for a few desperate moment but then felt his hand in mine. I smiled, thanking him when we had gotten through the stream of people. When we reached our friends; I spotted Noah and something silent passed between us, an understanding from this morning, perhaps. I also noticed him looking down at mine and Caleb's intertwined hands and I began to frown at him before a mirror appeared in front of me. I thanked Alex as I laughed, fixing up my makeup.

"Your hair looks cute today." Hailey said, putting her phone away when she spotted a teacher. I grinned over at her and thanked her, but my smile soon faltered when I saw a storm of police officers walk into the school. Suddenly, screams broke out. But it was just one person screaming.

And it was me.
