Nightmare
1058 Words
I was sitting in the living room waiting for Max to show up. Mads had gone to bed in her room. I was watching True Blood on my phone when Mark walked out to go to the kitchen. I watched him thinking he might say something snarky to me again. He looked over at me for a second and I just looked back at my phone.
"Any word from Max yet?" He asks, making food for himself I guess.
"No not yet." I sighed. He just nods and purses his lips.
"You can watch that on TV, you know," he says.
"Yeah I know"
"Then why don't you turn it on?"
"I don't want to disturb anyone". He walks over to the coffee table and grabs the remote. He turns on the TV and hands me the remote.
"Watch your show on TV," he says. I blushed and took the remote. He goes back to the food. I turned on my show. He continues to cook for a few minutes. When he is done, he comes over to me holding two plates, both with a grilled cheese. He handed one to me. I smile and take it.
"Thank you". He nods and sits down and we eat in silence as we watch the show. When we are both done, he takes my plate and takes it to the kitchen. I watch him as he does and thank him again. He walks back and sits next to me.
"So why are you waiting for Max here anyway?"
"I got to my room earlier and it was completely trashed with this note." I reached into my bag and pulled it out, handing it to him. He looked it over for a second.
"Seriously, that bastard didn't get a good enough beating last time?" He says through gritted teeth. I just shrugged. "Well, next time I see him he is gonna regret coming around here again" he said, handing me back the note. He grabs a blanket and holds out his arm and the blanket for me to get closer to him and we share the blanket. "I will stay out here with you until Max shows up so you can get some sleep and not worry."
"Thank you" I said as I snuggled up close to him and he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and covered me with a blanket. I rest my head on his chest and he rests his chin on my head. Good thing he didn't have a bony chin. We sat like that for a few minutes watching the show before I started to drift off to sleep.
**********************
When I wake Mark is gone. I look around to my disliking no one is around and the room is very dark. I can't really see much of anything. My eyes aren't really adjusting either. What the heck is going on? I felt a strange presence in the room.
"Hello?" I said, hoping Mads, Mark or Max were here. "Is someone there? Mads? Mark? Max?" I called out, hoping it was one of them.
"Figures you would say Marks name first before your boyfriends." Someone said' I cant quite tell if the voice is familiar or not.
"Who is there?" I said.
"Ouch that hurts a bit. I was hoping you would remember me after all we saw each other not too long ago." A light turns on, revealing James sitting in a chair in the corner of the room where I realize it is not Mads and Marks' apartment. I also realize that I am tied to a chair. What the hell?
"How did this happen? Where is everyone?" I asked, struggling, making my wrist and ankles hurt.
"Oh well, Mark took you back to your place and left you alone. He told you he didn't want you in his anymore, that you were just too annoying." He says chuckling.
"What? No, that is not true!" I said and looked around the room. All of a sudden, Mark was standing there. "Mark, help me please!" I begged.
"Help yourself", Mark said and walked away. What? I thought to myself.
"What about Max? He was supposed to come by my place when he got back," I said.
"Max? Oh, he was busy with other arrangements." James says, showing me his phone. He clicked a video and what I saw horrified me and made me want to cry my eyes out. Max was in bed with Lilly naked, kissing her among other things.
"No, it's not true that video is fake!" Again, out of nowhere, Max appears with Lilly. They are holding hands. "Max?! Lilly?!" I said, confused.
"What do you want we are over. Lilly and I are together now and I couldn't be more happy. My plan to make her jealous with you worked. Now we will be together forever", Max said to me before kissing Lilly on the cheek. Lilly was smirking at me.
"Yeah, he is now with a real woman. And you will forever be alone." She said, laughing. They were both laughing. Then they both walked away.
"What about Mads?" I asked, feeling like crap already.
"Mads was only friends with you because Lilly was, and now that no one else gives a damn about you, she wants nothing to do with you." James said, and there was Mads looking down at me.
"You are such a pathetic loser. Always playing the victim. Get over yourself." She said and walked away. I was all alone with no one to help me escape this lunatic.
"Sage, Sage ,Sage..." James said, or was it someone else now?
"Sage! Sage! Sage wake up Sage!" Someone was shaking me awake. My eyes fluttered open. It was Mark.
"What what happened?" I sat up straight panting. My throat felt kinda sore and I rubbed it, looking at Mark confused.
"You were screaming and crying in your sleep. You were having a nightmare." He said, looking at me concerned. He rubbed my back. Oh my god, it was just a dream the whole time. I looked around and saw that I was back in the living room of Marks' apartment. Thank god it was just a nightmare and not the real thing. I still hate that nightmare. I hope I never experience that dream again or not.
