Him

Five:

Dream World

Unexpected. So unexpected.

Yet, I let him to drag me away and to my surprised Dione never called that I really don't care but I am more curious.

Why?

As if she didn't see that I was dragged away from her or maybe it was so sudden she couldn't say a word. But really, do I need to care if I am looking towards the man that stole me away.

"Ah!" he suddenly stops and because of it I bumped to his back. "Ouch! Why you suddenly stop?!" I exclaimed.

"Sorry." He said and that's all? What the hell?

"What was that?"

"What?"

"Why did you just drag me away from my friends?"

"Saving you."

"Wha— saving me? Why?" I'm confused.

"You're in danger."

"Huh? What are you talking—ahh!" he suddenly swings me only to switched our places. "What the!" suddenly I heard the ground crumble that makes me look back and see a hole. A very deep hole!

"I'm sorry."

I heard him said that turns me to look back at him. "What—ahhh!" without explanation and without any warning, he just push me through that hole.

"Nooo!" I screamed as I finally wake up.

"Hey! Sis! Are you alright?!" my younger sister suddenly came rushing to my room.

I was catching up my breath and still couldn't believe what 'he' just did to me. "That jerk!" I madly exclaimed.

"Hey! Sin malas palabras, por favor."

"Perdón." I quickly apologized.

"Anyway, what did you dream and you look so angry?" she curiously asked.

I harshly breathed before I answered. "Some kind of a man that I think I will hate till forever." I madly explained.

"Oh, okay. That explained." She said and nodded. "But, be careful."

"Of what?"

"Because hate sometimes the beginning of love." she answered that surprised me.

"No way!" my voice suddenly pitch high that she just laughs before she went out to my room. "Ahh! Darn it!" 'I hate him so much I wanted to kill him in my dreams!' I emphasized my thoughts.

"Bad mood?" Chadd asked me while we're having our launch break.

"Kind of," I answered then shrug off. "The truth, I'm mad."

"And why?"

"Because of someone and you don't know who that was."

"Then tell me."

I look at him and he seems serious while waiting. "Nah! It's nothing."

"Nothing important or it is something."

I laugh about his suspicious. "Come on! It's really nothing, promise. Entonces aunque te lo diga, tampoco lo entenderás." I added in a whispered.

"There you go again, when you want to hide something you speak it in another language. So, I think I should really learn how to speak your language."

"No, you can't!"

"Yes, I can. So that, you won't be able to hide anything from me," he said and smiled.

"Oh, now I wanted to learn more languages." I replied and smiled back.

"You're a pain in the ass, Jeanne."

"And I know you still love me," with a bright smile.

Chadd didn't immediately answer what I answered. "Ehem," he cleared his throat first before he continued. "You always won against me."

"Of course!"

"Well, whatever is on your mind right now, remember, I'm always here ready to listen to everything you have to say or to complain about, I will still listen to you. Alright?"

"Alright, I will. Thank you, Chaddy."

That night, I am so scared to sleep but what else can I do. I need to sleep to gain more rest since school was too much tiring. So, really, I end up sleeping while looking through my window and the last thing that I saw is the full moon.

Dream World

Full moon?

Oh, yeah, that was the last thing that I saw before I fell asleep. Now, that is the first thing that I saw as soon as I enter my dream world.

Well, where am I? I look around only to find myself in a road. Uhm, I think…

Now I remember this is the last place I saw that jerk and remembering it makes me feel scared. I didn't even notice that I walk back only to be surprised by someone pulling me away from a passing bike that was about to hit me.

"Hey! Watch were you going!" the biker madly said as he passed through.

My heart beats so fast that I didn't even notice the person who saved me.

"Th-thank you." I said as I finally regain myself and when I look up I was surprised seeing the last 'man' I don't want to see. "It's you?!"

"You came back."

"Of course! This is my world." 'My dream' to be exact, I silently added to myself. "A-anyway, I have to go."

"Wake up."

"Huh?"

"This isn't just a simple dream."

No! Does he know anything? My mind unexpectedly exploded while my eyes widen with surprised.

"Who are you?!"

"It doesn't matter who I am because what matters now is to be able to let you leave this place as soon as possible."

He was about to hold me but I quickly dodge him because I know what he will do next and I don't want that to happen again.

"Stay away from me!" I madly shouted before I run away from him.

I just run as fast as I can even though I don't know where I'm going I just let myself go wherever my feet brings me.

Afterwards…

I was on my knees when someone came at me.

"Anne?"

I look up only to meet 'her'.

"You?"

She smiles at me before handing me her hand. "Come with me." she said and for some reason I trusted her and quickly grab her hand while still catching up my breath.

From a distance

He just silently watched Jeanne go with the woman he knew he could trust. But his face still reflected the concern of what might happen to Jeanne if she keeps coming back to this world.
