2024-10-29 19:42:56I smiled when I saw Ben walking towards me, as handsome as ever. The lights illuminating his sharp facial features in all their glory.
"Come here" I pouted, opening my hands wide for him.
He reached me and pulled me flush against his hard body. I closed my eyes taking in his masculine scent and feeling his warmt.
But suddenly, I felt a liquid splash on my face and neck. Wondering what it was, I opened my eyes to see a headless Ben hugging me.
I screamed and screamed and pushed him away and continued screaming.
His body fell to the floor close to his pool while his head was already floating in the pool.
I screamed again and again until I screamed out of my sleep.
I jumped up on my bed, clutching my chest tightly. I looked around and realised I was in my room with Lily who was now awake due to my scream.
"What's wrong Martha?" She asked worried and a little scared
"I had a nightmare"
"Its okay, its just a dream" she said, her little voice somehow calming my nerves. I watched her lay down again and closed her eyes.
I sighed, looking around again before laying back down.
"Its just a dream" I murmured before closing my eyes.

She laughed "is that what's eating you up? She asked. I looked at her not knowing what to say."Come on, cheer up.

"How was your.... " my mom'swords hung in her mouth when she took in my rigid, almost lifeless form, plus the police man behind me."Dear lord! What happened to you sweetie?" She rushed up to me, touching my face frantically but I was too drenched to answer. I was still in shock."Ben is dead" my mom gasped as the police man said "it was a horrifying scene, we cant explain how and what happened yet but for now, take care of your daughter" he finished and left me with my mom after telling her that he would come back the next day for questioning."Oh sweetie" my mom hugged me tight against her body.

Two weeks had passed after Ben's funeral. Going to school didn't seem so exciting to me without Ben. I sat in class absent minded, my thoughts all over the place. His words haven't left my mind since then. I had no idea what he meant but it bothered me so much."Martha" I looked at Kelly"I've been calling you for over a minute now. Are you okay?" She asked"I will be" I told her but mostly myself.Ben's death was all over the school, he was the best at the football game and the team captain. I wasn't the only one missing him. A moment of silence was held for him in the football pitch earlier today. Looking at his large picture frame glued to the hallway, I felt tears well up in my eyes again."Don't, you have cried enough" Kelly ordered as she pulled me in a tight hug."I should have told him" I muttered"Told him what?" She pulled away and looked at me

Just why?I looked down at my hand to check if it was sparkling, but there was no bracelet. I don't remember removing it.

Anytime I walked the street, people will shift far away from me.
