SABRINA'S POV

"Guys do you happen to know where Ryan might be?" I ask them.

"I just saw him heading out." answered Lili.

I make my way out to look for Ryan when I'm stopped dead in my tracks unable to take a step further.

No. This can't be happening right now.

I see Ryan making out with a girl right in front of me.

"Ry" I call for him.

"Yeah. What's wrong?" He asks.

"Don't you think I should be the one asking you that?!" I whisper-yelled at him.

"So you saw that?" He asks.

"Off course I did" I say looking down.

"Whatever" he dismisses me and walks right in.

Why is he being that way? Is he changing too?

"Ry, do you like that girl?" I ask him.

He laughs it off.

"Why would I like her? It was just a kiss, for god's sake, 'brina!" He tells me.

"So what you're saying is you kiss people with no feelings involved, whatsoever?!" I ask him in disbelief.

"Yup. Pretty much" he tells me.

"Ry, why did you kiss me last night?" I ask him.

"Felt like it" he says shrugging his shoulders as if the kiss meant nothing.

"Are you being fucking serious right now?!" I yell at him.

"Yeah" he says.

"Leave" I say, my eyes not leaving his for a second.

"What?"he says.

"LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE, RYAN" I say to him through gritted teeth.

"What're you freaking out for, huh?! Don't tell me you thought I liked you. There's no way in hell I'm ever gonna like someone as broken, weak and fragile as you. I mean look at you! Couldn't even get yourself out of an abusive relationship without someone's help!" He tells me.

That's it, Ryan. Stop speaking.

As he says these things, I walk up to him and slap him hard across the cheek.

"What the heck?!" Ryan growls.

"You have absolutely no right to say these things to me, Ryan! You haven't seen me struggling all this while. So don't speak about something that you know nothing of!" I yell at him.

"Oh shut up" he yells and raises his hand on me.

I don't believe this. Why did you do that, Ryan?! Did you just save me from a nightmare to put me in another?

I jolt up on my bed, heavily panting. The sound of the alarm clock wakes me up. Apparently, it didn't wake Ryan.

Thank God it was a dream.

"Hey 'brina!" says Ryan in his deep husky voice.

"H-Hey Ry" I tell him.

"You ok, baby?" he asks.

"Yup. I'm... I'm absolutely alright" I say.

"No you're not. C'mon 'brina, fess up!" says Ryan.

"I just woke up from a nightmare. That's it, really" I tell him.
