37. Loss Between Us
I woke up with a jolt. My whole body felt wet, I was sweating. I threw away the blanket I had draped myself with and sat up straight on my seat.
Reality finally sank in and I realised it was a dream. No, not a dream, It was the worst nightmare of my life. I took out the bottle of water Claire had in her bag and took a long gulp of it, not caring that the water ran down my neck and into my shirt. I calmed down my breathing and closed my eyes, massaging my temples.
This should never happen. Ever.
As if on cue, I heard hurried footsteps down the hallway, nearing me. My eyes snapped to the figure.
"What is it?" An alarmed voice asked someone. Please let this not be some sort of déjà vu!
"Emergency at Room 201! The patient is having a hard time breathing. Irregular heartbeats!" Another voice panicked.
"Send a nurse to Room 201!" The alarmed voice shouted back.
I quickly jumped to my feet and looked through the glass door at B

Valentine'sDay~Three years later ~I opened my eyes with the familiar look of my dorm room surrounding me. I shared the room with a short, blonde girl, Pippa Anderson who had a lot of cool tattoos and piercings on her skin. She was a very sweet girl, always helping me with my homework. She was also very adventurous, out-going and a social butterfly, exactly opposite to me. I considered her a great friend but only Claire was my best friend. But currently Pippa's bed was empty. She had gone to Radford to visit her ailing mother.I had college at nine in the morning, and I would need at least fifteen minutes to get there.I rolled on my side and glanced up at the alarm clock on my bedside table.

Something Between Us 1. A Broken Heart Between Us
The annoyingly loud sound of my alarm clock woke me up and I wanted to do nothing but smash that little piece of crap with my baseball bat. I allowed myself a few more minutes in bed, calculating the hours of the day it would take for me to get back in here.I loved my bed. It was like I was in a relationship with him. But damn that alarm clock, it was freaking jealous of us.I threw away the covers and marched to the bathroom.

"Hi," Claire greeted me quietly at my locker."Hi, how are you today?" I asked as I opened my locker and took out books for my first class."Better than yesterday.""Good, you'll be more better at the end of the day," I said, opening a book.She frowned at me, "Brooke, I don't think we should do it. I mean, let's just leave him alone," I closed my book and glared at her."Claire, we can't do that. It's not much. He won't get that hurt."She looked uncertainly at me."Well, if you don't want to help me, it's okay. I can do it by myself."
Something Between Us 3. A Ride Between Us
It had been half an hour. I had been sitting outside waiting for half an hour for Brian to come out of the men's bathroom. And it had been more than an hour since school ended. What was I going to tell my stupid brother and my mom for why I was late?As school ended an hour ago, not many people were there. Just a few teachers and some students. People passing by gave me odd looks from which I could tell that they were thinking why I was sitting directly outside the men's bathroom.Brian dragged me to the men's bathroom from the parking lot. Of course I tried to run away but I couldn't because he held my arm so tightly as if his life depended on it. I swear he stopped blood circulation in my body. And now he was making me wait for him. And why was I still here? Because he got his hands on my phone! And I had no idea how!

After our unsuccessful attempt to teach Jesse a lesson, I didn't forecast another revenge plan looming on the horizon. It was going to have to wait. Or maybe we won't do it after all.I ignored Claire at first because I wanted her to feel guilty of what she did yesterday. But even I couldn't be mad at her for too long and eventually I forgave her the second she mentioned that she was going to pay for my lunch for a month."What about Jesse?" I asked Claire. We were by our lockers, retrieving our books for our first class. I had Physics while she had English."What about him?""Don't you want to punish him for using and then dumping you?""Um...I don't really think we should do that.

"You are kidding me, right?" I asked. "Nope," Jerk replied as if it was not a big deal, at least not to him. "You can't be serious!" "But I am." "Are you serious? Cause I am really serious." "I am serious." "Brian! I can't possibly complete all your homework for the next ten days." "But you have to. Ah...and also the homework I got on the days that I missed school." "No. Please. Not homework. Give me something else to do. Not homework." I pleaded. "You have to do that. Like I said, I want payback," He stood up, picking up his bag. "And it's not like it's that much of a work. Be thankful I didn't ask you for something worse, like being my maid for a month." I glared at him. "And what if I don't do it?" "I'm sure you won't like it." "Hah! You can't do anything. I won't do it!" I started to leave but he held me by my wrist. "Oh, so do you want me to tell the whole school that

"Is this the whole year's homework? Cause it looks like that," I groaned. The school just got over and Brian is here in front of me with a pile of books in his hand. He dumped them in my car."No. Three days'. I want it all completed by tomorrow.""What? Are you mad?! Three days' homework in half a day! How am I supposed to complete all of that? What do you think I am? A robot?" I groaned again, rubbing my hands down my face in frustration."I'm not sure. But I want it tomorrow," He smirked before walking away.~I slammed the books on the table. I was home. But I had a lot of work. Brian's work to be specific.I got to work straightaway. I took out my pen and opened the books and copied the notes that Brian's friend had made into his book. It was too much. How could he do this to me?I scrawled my bad handwriting on his books. What?
