Dreams

Evanna’s pov:

Chills coursed through me as with paranoia of the prospect of not only being alone but him knowing I was alone.

I raced across the apartment locking every window and door before secluding myself in my room. I wrapped myself up in my blanket and tried to distract myself from the feeling of eyes on me.

This isn’t him. I know it’s not. He would never force me to kiss. He would never come to my house.

Chills coursed through me as I remembered the kiss. I know he wants me and he’s not used to not getting what he wants.

I glanced over to my dresser where the silver heart locket glinted in the moonlight. I wanted to throw it away but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it even after all he’s done. Especially after all he’s done. I needed it as a reminder not to trust people. I sighed.

Tears filled my eyes but I refused to allow them to spill over and instead I buried my face in my pillow. I stayed like that for a while until darkness took over my senses and pulled me under into it.

I had the most amazing dream. Asher was back to normal. He came to me and picked me up. I was a little scared but his eyes were laced with security and love and I knew he wouldn’t let me go. He finally set me down on a beautiful decorated stage where we danced until it started raining.

Then we spun around sticking our tongues out and laughing. We were soaking wet but we were laughing and enjoying one another before he grabbed my waist and pulled me towards him. I craned my neck up to look at his face and he bent him down to look into my eyes before he whispered: “I love you, baby girl.” And pulling me into a lingering kiss.

We pulled away and he started screaming in loud choppy noises and I was extremely concerned before consciousness took hold of me and I woke up to my darkroom with my alarm screaming its presence to me.

I groaned remembering the events of last night and knowing that I’d have to face him again today. I slammed my fist onto my alarm shutting it up. Every time I lay eyes on him, I can hear my heart telling me yes. It’s painful, the internal struggle that is. Imagine your heart telling you one thing, but everything else in your body is telling you no, you can't have this, it's a powder keg about to explode.

I sighed and climbed out of bed with the intent of going to the bathroom however, I instead arrived in front of my locket staring down at it. I gently ran my fingers over it before prying it open with my nails.

Just like always a small heart\-shaped image of me kissing Ashton’s cheek while he smiled widely at the camera. I ran my fingers over the image before snapping the locket shut feeling the hot tears race down my face. I inhaled and set down the locket this time heading for the bathroom for real.

I grabbed a towel and turned the faucet all the way to the hot side. In a matter of seconds, my bathroom was enveloped in steam. I peeled my pajamas off of my body before placing my towel on a hook near the shower and stepping into the heat.

I could feel my skin turn red and the stress roll of my body with the droplets of boiling water. I sighed running my fingers through my hair as it hangs down sticking to my skin. I inhaled the steam and felt my soul being cleaned.

I sat there frozen in the warmth and peace before a knock came at my bathroom door. Not my apartment door. My bathroom.

Someone was in my house. And the only thing blocking my bare body from them was the thin wooden door that didn’t have a lock.

I stood still hoping that whoever was on the other side of the door would assume I just left the water running and give up. I thought that they had when the knocking stopped but then his voice rang out and it was more chilling than the knocking.

“Baby girl, I know you’re in there. Just come out please so we can talk.” His voice was vacant of pleading and instead it was filled with threats. I shuddered despite the heat still radiating from my shower. That’s when I heard the door creak open.
