I was shaking throughout the day. Lauren noticed and asked,
“What’s wrong Ryan?”
She sat next to me and held my hand. She still sounded sick.
“I…” I paused for a sec and looked over at her. I couldn’t say anything. I had that terrified feeling that prevented me from talking. I shook my head and held my head while looking down.
“Ryan, we’ll get through this together.”
I looked up at her and was wishing that it will get better. The Golden Child and Brandi saw us and walked toward us.
“What’s wrong Ryan?” Brandi asked.
“And why are you shaking?” the Golden Child asked.
“He’s going through something…” Lauren replied for me. Kind of glad that she did. I didn’t want to talk or anything.

Why did I have that nightmare? Why is it affecting me this much?

The bell rung and everyone started to head to class.
“Well, I guess I’ll talk to you later,” Lauren said..
“Ok” was all I could say. Lauren kissed me on the cheek and left.
I walked to class and started to feel pain in my head and saw someone across the hall.
