My mind was racing and I just felt the need to keep running. My legs carried me pretty far until they gave out on me. I fell to the ground and just sobbed for a minute, but then I pulled myself together. I stood up and began to walk, calling out for my grandma. Maybe she could help me, I was still confused on the whole thing. She left without really explaining things to me. I kept calling her name and spinning around, until my eye caught something.. something dark, something angry. I could just feel bad vibes radiating all around me, and I knew I needed to get of there. But I couldn't; I couldn't move at all. I was completely frozen and numb, as if I was paralyzed. I probably looked like I was going insane, and maybe I was, but it seemed all too real. I turned to face my fears, and now he was a lot closer. I put out my hand to touch him, to see if he was real, to see if he would just disappear.. but instead, he backed up. I looked deep into his eyes and saw more than just anger, I saw hurt and.. sadness. His eyes turned back to angry and he looked like he was about ready to rip out my throat, and that's exactly what his eyes were aimed on. But then his face went straight, there was no emotion on it. He went completely calm and took another step towards me. I swallowed hard and he studied my neck for a while longer. He reached out his hand and I cringed as his cold fingers grazed my neck. He picked up my necklace and looked at it closely, his eyes going wide with realization. The necklace matched the earrings he had given me before he.. was gone. We sat there staring at each other for a little while until bright headlights shined on us, and with that, he was gone. I turned to face the headlights, my eyes squinting as they got closer. They dimmed down and I realized it was Vic. He pulled over and jumped out his car, running over to me and pulling me into his arms.

"What hell was that about? You had me worried sick," he said, pulling away and looking me directly in the eyes. "Why are you so cold? Oh my god," he said, tearing his jacket off of him and placing it on me. I sat there in silence, still baffled by what had just taken place. I couldn't stop staring at the place in the street where my brother just stood a few seconds ago.

"Carlee?" he asked, giving my shoulders a light squeeze. I snapped back to reality and faced him.

"Sorry, I just.. I thought I saw something," I lied.

"Carlee." he said, obviously not believing me. I shook my head and just walked towards the car, climbing inside. He stood there for a second but then followed me to the car. He climbed inside and started the ignition, giving me a weird look before pulling away.

"What did I do wrong?" he asked, hurt evident in his voice.

I shook my head and sighed, "Nothing Vic, it's nothing you did."

"It's kind of hard to believe that when you burst into tears and run out of the house," he said, hurt still in his voice. Now I felt terrible, it was a perfect present, and I'm glad he put so much thought into it and actually went out to my parents' house to get it, but I just couldn't deal with it right now..

"I've just been seeing weird things lately, it's nothing, okay?" I sighed.

"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked, his voice genuine with concern.

"I'd rather not," I sighed.

He looked away and blowed some of his hair out of his face. I could tell I hurt his feelings, I didn't realize I was coming off so strong about it. It was just super stressful, and I didn't know what to think; I didn't know what to believe. Nothing made sense anymore.

"I'm sorry, Vic, you know I love you so much. I just--things are weird right now. I'm sorry."

He remained quiet, and I couldn't help but let a few tears slip out of my eyes. I was frustrated, today was a long day and then having all of this added on top of it all.. it was just overwhelming. I tried to keep my sobs quiet, I didn't want to him to know. I kept my face pointed out the window, watching everything pass us. I closed my eyes for a second and opened them back up to see him running beside the car. My eyes went wide in fear and I let out a shriek.

"What?!" Vic exclaimed. "What's wrong?!" he said, glancing over at me.

I buried my face in my hands and yelled into my palms.

"Vic please pull over." I asked.

"What? Wh-"

"Pull over." I demanded. He nodded and signaled right to pull over.

"I'm walking home, you keep on driving yourself though." I said, opening my door and climbing out. I heard him yell after me, but I slammed the door shut anyways. I tucked my hands in the pockets of his jacket and began walking. I heard a car door slam and he rushed over to my side.

"Carlee, what the fuck is going on?"

"I don't fucking know Vic, I just need some fresh air, okay? Please go home." I mumbled.

"Carlee you've been walking around for the past hour, you don't need fresh air. You need to come home and get a good night's sleep, I'm sure this is all nothing. Please just get back in the car."

"Vic, it's not nothing!" I snapped. "I'm going fucking insane." I said, brushing my hair back. Suddenly, I got a hot flash and had to tear his jacket off of myself.

"You're sweating.." he said, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Vic, please. I just need to be alone." I sobbed.

"You can be alone at the house," he said, tugging on my arm. I jerked my arm back and I felt myself growing angry.

"Leave." I growled. Fuck, this can't be happening right now.. "Vic hurry and fucking leave!" I cried, trying to fight back what was about to happen.

"I'm not leaving you out here at fucking midnight in the middle of nowhere! Get in the car!" he yelled.

"Do you not fucking get it Vic? I can't be around you! Fucking leave!" I growled, my palm coming in contact with his face.

He looked at me in disbelief, his eyes held sadness, hurt, betrayal.. Fuck.. I started cursing at myself as tears rushed down his face. He ran to his car and jumped in, soon speeding off as fast as he could.

Did I really just do that? What the fuck is happening to me? I started walking, everything starting to become blurry as tears filled my eyes. I had no idea where I was, I was tired, I was cold, I was going insane.. I kept walking when I felt a presence beside me. I grew even colder and began to shiver.

"I'm sorry," he breathed. I turned and shivered as I saw his face.

"Sorry?" I asked in disbelief. "Why the fuck did you make me do that?!" I yelled.

"Because he was trying to make you do something you didn't want to do."

"He was looking out for me! And the only reason I didn't want to be there was because of you!" I yelled.

"What did I do?" he growled.

"You were fucking running up beside us, you knew it would freak me out! What do you even want from me?" I cried.

"Well.. I wanted to do something else before.. but after seeing you now, I just couldn't do it." he mumbled.

"What the fuck, this makes no sense." I said. It's official, I'm going completely insane.

"I just miss you," he whispered. "I thought I was mad at you, I blamed you and grandma for everything.. It was always me."

I sighed, he was right. It was him, but I wasn't going to remind him of that.

"I'm so much better now," he mumbled. "I'm sorry, Carlee. I won't bother you anymore. I'll be gone forever, like it was meant to be."

And with that, he was gone and I was alone. Once again.
