Ava

The next few days were a complete whirlwind of emotions. The school was in a state of dreary sadness. Students cried, teachers tried their best to comfort them, and all that was on the lips of everyone in town was the death of Mr. Ryan. The weather reflected what everyone felt. Dark clouds covered the school and rain poured with no end in sight.

And me? Well, I felt guilty. I’d never liked Mr. Ryan, but I felt awful for being such a jerk to him before his passing. I knew it was silly. Nothing I said or did could have changed what happened to him, but it still clung to me like a wet piece of paper.

Of course, I only knew things that were taking place at the school because of the texts from my friends. With the onset of the weather, I was in severe pain. I was never really able to talk to Gabriel like he had wanted because I was either asleep or hurting. When I actually had a moment of relief, I would read the messages from the group chat between Gabriel, Keira, Trevor, and me. It was full of what was going on and what homework I needed to make up. To be honest, it was a bit overwhelming, but I was thankful they cared.

On the third day of being stuck in bed, either that or running to the bathroom to dry heave for the millionth time, I received a private text from Gabriel.

How are the dreams?

My heart hit hard in my chest. I told him the truth.

No better.

One of the only things that gave me any sense of peace was remembering his hands on my face and his lips so close to mine. I wasn’t sure what any of that meant. He had said the thought of being together was scary. I didn’t think that was the best way to start a relationship, if he even wanted to start one. Maybe he was just physically attracted to me. That has happened before. Still, what he’d said about pouring his heart out to me made me want to believe there might be something more. What was I letting this guy do to me?

I’m sorry. I wish there was something I could do to ease your pain.

You don’t think I’m crazy?

Of course not.

I guess…

Ava, I believe you.

How? I saw something that wasn’t there...

It was real to you. That means something. We’ll figure it out. I’m here for you.

Thanks, that means a lot.

You mean a lot to me.

Did you mean to send that?

Yes.

I thought this was a bad idea and you were terrified?

It is.

Well, that’s not confusing….

I need to tell you something. When you feel better.

You can’t do that! Tell me now!

It’s better in person. Feel better. I’ll talk to you soon.

I slumped back in my bed, willing my head to stop trying to kill me. I wanted to know what he had to say. I wanted to be able to walk out the door and just be normal.
