I woke up the next morning feeling... good.

Really good.

I couldn't wait to see Rain again. It was gonna be so great.

I got ready as fast as I could. I wanted to make sure I looked my best for her. I put on my favorite shirt.

The school was like a blur. It was as if time stopped as I waited. I kept looking at the clock in every class, waiting for it to be over.

During Class, all I could think about was what Rain was doing.

Was she thinking about me too? Was she as excited to see me as I was to see her? The thoughts in my head came and gone as quickly as they came.

And there were a lot of them.

As I packed to go I felt something.

Someone was here.

I looked around the class but no one was there, so I ran.

It was as if someone was always chasing me.

The thought that time could be moved in this way or that was only on my mind because she was on my mind.

It's like Rain was the only point of reference, nothing could happen without her.

Finally, the bell rang. I practically ran out of the school. I needed to get to Rain.

I met Ira and Ren by the gates. They were laughing at something, but I didn't care. I just wanted to see Rain.

What am I doing?

I don't care that I'm leaving them behind or something?

"Someone's eager" Ira teased, a smirk playing on his lips. "You're like one of those cartoon characters that can't wait."

"I guess" I mumbled, attempting to mask my excitement but failing miserably. I wanted her now. I had the feeling I had to see her now, it can't be helped.

"Alright, Romeo, calm down" Ren chuckled, a hint of knowing in his voice. "Where are you two off to for lunch?"

"She said she wanted to pick the place" I replied, pulling out my phone, texting Rain.

My hands were shaking.

Y/N: Hey! I'm out of school now. Where do you want to meet?

What was that song again? It was something about the rain something about the sun I don't really remember.

I felt something wash over me.

A memory? A dream?

I tried to think of anything else, but it was like a memory that had fog everywhere I looked. I don't even remember what was said it was as if I had amnesia for that part of my life.

Rain: Hey! I'm already at the cafe near your school :D I can't wait to see you!

Rain, I love you and need you.

Y/N: Okay! I'm on my way! See you soon <3

"She's waiting at the cafe" I announced to my friends. "I gotta go."

"Have fun, lovebird" Ira said with a wink. "Don't do anything too crazy." He clearly wants to be with someone to.

I barely heard them.

I wanted to have a connection with Ira and Ren, it's been a long time since I was able to talk to them.

I wanted to not be alone, why wasn't I able to do that?

I rushed to the cafe, my heart hammering against my ribs with anticipation. I couldn't wait to hold her hand, to get lost in her eyes. I was ready to get lost in her world, I couldn't wait for her to just be the end of it.

I saw her immediately, sitting by the window.

She was beautiful. Breathtaking. She wore a pale blue sundress, and her dark blue hair was styled in soft waves that framed her face perfectly.

I was a moth drawn to her flame.

As always.

She smiled at me, her eyes lighting up as she saw me.

It was the smile, as I saw again, from our first date.

A date? What I even call that a date?

"Y/N!" she exclaimed, her voice like a sweet melody.

"Rain" I breathed, a smile stretching across my face as I walked towards her, each step feeling lighter than the last.

"You're here" she whispered.

I pulled up a chair and sat across from her, our eyes locking. It was as if a bubble formed around us, shutting out the rest of the world.

"I missed you so much" Rain said, her voice soft. "I've been thinking about you all day. About us. Do you believe me, it's not like I don't tell you anything, do I, you can trust me." She had a weird look in her eyes.

"I missed you too" I replied, reaching for her hand, our fingers intertwining. "School was so boring without you. All I could think about was us." The light was too bright in here or something.

Why was it hard to see her face?

"It's always us, isn't it?" Rain said, her eyes gleaming in an unnerving way. "We're meant to be together, Y/N. I know it."

I chuckled nervously, trying to shake off the feeling. What did she mean by that? I trusted her I really do.

Please, let's just talk. Like we always did.

"Yeah, I guess so"

We settled into a comfortable rhythm, ordering food and sharing stories of our day.

Rain was an attentive listener, her eyes never leaving my face, hanging on my every word. The feeling that she would take my eyes and keep them.

Her focus was intoxicating, making me feel like the most important person in the world. I started to feel paranoid but that was probably just the way it was supposed to be.

This was her world after all.

As we ate, Rain started to become more touchy, casually brushing her hand against mine, and leaning into me while we talked.

I was liking the attention, I was getting a little addicted to it. The only thing she was doing was touching my hand, so I decided to hold it, and what I saw made me wanna leave.

She was smiling.

Her expression was so weird, it looked like she was in ecstasy.

Like Rain was the only one who needed to be in the world. That nothing mattered if it was not because of her.

"You know, Y/N" Rain said, her tone soft, but her gaze unwavering. "I've never met anyone like you before. You're so special, so... perfect."

I blushed at her words, my heart swelling with happiness. "You think so?" I asked, a shy smile playing on my lips.

What did I do to get a girl like her?

"I know so" Rain replied, her grip on my hand tightening slightly. "And because you are so perfect, I have to protect you from everything. We have to be together forever, nothing can come between us."

She was just excited right?

Nothing bad about that.

There was a subtle possessiveness in her tone, a shift from the sweet girl I thought I knew. It was subtle, almost unnoticeable.

But for some reason, it made my stomach clench with unease.

This is not normal.

What the hell is happening? Why do i want to leave?

I quickly brushed it off though.

This was Rain, she loved me. I was probably just overthinking. She has my best interests, I can trust her

"We are perfect together, Y/N" Rain said, her gaze intense. "We were always meant to be. Don't you feel it? That connection between us?"

I nodded, even though I wasn't too sure.

"Yeah, I do. I really do."

There is a point where I have to leave so I won't be to attached I felt as if a string connected us two together pulling me so that she won't be alone.

I wanted to believe it.

I wanted to be completely consumed by this feeling. By Rain. I wanted to give myself over to her, I wanted to be hers.

Why did I need to always have someone beside me?

The feeling was so bad it was as if someone was trying to manipulate me.

I looked into her eyes and they looked so loving, so innocent. I was probably just being silly. I'm too scared to do anything about it.

What if it's just my imagination? What if the connection breaks if I pull too much.

After lunch, we walked to the park, our hands intertwined.

It was also like I was bound.

It was weird to see kids everywhere, and happy people, it made it seem like a normal place to be.

Why did I get such a bad feeling?

No, it was her.

The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and it was a picture perfect day.

But there was a subtle change in the air, something that I couldn't quite grasp, something that made me feel slightly off.

"Why can't I sleep when I'm with you, Rain? It's weird" I ask.

Huh? what did i just say?

Rain's expression shifted slightly, her eyes widening slightly.

Her smile never falters "You should not worry about it, it's probably because you need to be at my side!" She said giggling.

Her response was way too quick.

I noticed the way Rain was looking at me, like she was studying me. It was almost as if she was going to kill me here at this place or something.

I found it a bit unsettling, but I pushed the feeling down. She probably just loved me a lot, if this keeps happening I should consider seeing a doctor.

We strolled in silence for a few minutes before Rain stopped, her eyes fixed on a couple laughing nearby.

I followed her gaze, feeling a strange sense of unease wash over me. I felt a bit of dread and terror what was that about.

Please don't do that it's scaring me.

Rain turned to me, her eyes unusually dark and soulless.

"Y/N" she said, her voice soft, almost a whisper.

"Do you... do you think they're happy? Do they really love each other like we do? It looks like a nice movie, but not quite it. Does it look good to you?"

Her sudden change in topic was jarring, and it made me frown slightly. What was she trying to say? I wasn't sure. It was probably nothing important anyway. I trusted her. Right?

I tried to play along "I guess so? I don't know them, Why?"

What was she planning? What was she talking about?

Rain ignored my question, her grip on my hand tightening to the point where my knuckles turned white.

"If they really loved each other, wouldn't they be together? Wouldn't they do anything to be together? You know what that's a weird thing, if someone does everything for you there isn't meaning right? Is that what you think. You are the type to do that right so do you think it has value?"

Again, what was she getting at? I was starting to get scared. She was clearly trying to get a rise from me. I can't do this. I wanted to leave. What did she want?

She was doing this, and her smile never stopped.

"You know these questions are clearly loaded what are you trying to do, Rain."

Is he not in love with her?

"I know what true love is, Y/N. And with true love, you can't let anything come between you. Especially when you love someone as much as I love you." Rain said.

The way she treated this as if it was a game.

Then I had a weird thought.

What if she was forcing me into a corner.

This wasn't just about getting my approval.

It was about me saying what she wanted.

She did this to make me believe that this was love.

My heart skipped a beat, a strange sense of unease creeping into my mind. I had felt her possessiveness before, but this time it felt different, more intense.

A part of me was scared, but another was curious.

The two feelings were at war.

What should I do?

"What do you mean?" I asked, taking a step back.

Rain leaned in close, her lips brushing against my ear.

"Promise me, Y/N. Promise me that you'll never look at anyone else the way you look at me. Promise me that you'll never love anyone else, and you will only love me. You can only go to me" Rain said, she whispered and laughed it's like she was enjoying torturing me at all.

I thought i was getting into the relationship too fast, but her? This wasn't normal at all.

"Okay, I get it it's time for us to leave. I'm out!" I said, trying to walk away and take my hand.

I had to do something.

But Rain pulled me closer, as I had to stay.

Why did I had to stay?

I didn't even want to.

I took a deep breath and said to Rain "This is going too fast isn't it? We really should take things slowly."

Her words, though seemingly loving, felt suffocating.

Rain was smiling.

I wanted to please her. I loved her, and I would do anything for her.

"Then why are you enjoying it?" She asked.

Then I realized.

I couldn't run, I couldn't save myself.

"Do you promise that you will never leave me?" She said, her eyes locked into mine.

"I promise, Rain" I said, the words feeling hollow as they left my lips. "I promise I'll never leave you, we'll always be together, I promise."

This was the end of me.
