Took the blame... (ep.3)

Recap: "STOP RIGHT THERE" the security guard yells. Oh shit I'm done for.....

Ophelia's pov

"I'm so sorry I didn't steal, I was just panicking. There were no more bags, I paid for it I promise ." I say to security. "You really made me run all this way just to say, that you didn't steal." Security says. "You shouldn't have over pressured her, plus it's my fault I made her get the bread in a hurry." Elliott states. I look at Elliott in confusion, why would he take the blame. "I'll have to go make sure that it's paid for, stay right here." The security guard says.

"You're welcome" he says while walking away without making eye contact. That was kind of cold, he's giving me mixed emotions. The security guard said that the lady that took my order, proved that I paid, but we were super late to class . Well isn't this just the most amazing first day of school.

The rest of the day went as normal, but Elliott kept showing up, why is it I keep running into him? I get home throwing my stuff on the floor after a tiring day. I never really had a lot of friends, but online wise I connect with people more. One of my childhood bestfriends, Kimberly. She has always gave me advice.She is one of the greatest, and smartest people I know, but she moved away from me so, I talk to her through the phone .

I told her about my nightmare I had that night, and what happened today, because it was super strange. "Wait, I noticed a connection, it looks like your nightmare came to life." She says. "Wait I never realized they were similar. "What are you a freaking genius." I reply. "It's pretty obvious, you're just super dumb" she says with laughter. "This is why no one likes you" I say sarcastically. "Plus I think it's just a silly coincidence." I state. "Whatever you sayyyy" she replies.

It's now time for bed, but all I hear is tick....tock....tick....tock. The thought of having nightmares coming to life is devouring my mind. I just can't sleep, I need to waste time somehow. I go to this pond behind my neighborhood, and there he is. I admire his features. His dark brown eyes that sparkle, and his fluffy brown hair. I walk towards him and sit by him, although he doesn't say anything, there was a good type of silence, this type of silence was comforting.

"You really don't sleep do you?" I finally have the courage to say. "I guess I can say the same about you." He replies. I smirk knowing he's right. I slowly start falling asleep by nature itself. I'm having another nightmare.... they all laugh at me, they all stare at me..... they all hate me.

Elliott's pov

Ophelia has now fallen asleep, she started moving a lot, and I didn't know what to do, I think she was having another nightmare. All I thought of was shaking her out of it, and she did wake up..... she had tears in her eyes waiting to fall. I wrapped my arms around her so she could feel better, but quickly stopped after snapping back to reality. "I-im so sorry I don't know why I did that" I say. "It's fine, but i- i should really get going" she says while walking back home. I really hope I didn't ruin anything.....
