Comfort

I was at school except that it felt like and elementary school I was just wondering the halls and turned in this one classroom and there were like three people on the wall surrounding another person who was crying. I walked closer to investigate and it was Oakley. I tried to get closer but didn’t want to just burst in and get in the way of her friends comforting her. One of them saw me though and move aside to make room for me to sit next to her. She looked up tears in her eyes and I wasn’t sure what to do. I sat down next to her and put my right arm around her. She leaned in a bit and I whispered “I love you as her head rested beneath mine on my shoulder. With my left hand I found her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. I still didn’t know what to say or what was wrong for that matter, (maybe I should have asked). I just held her there for a few minutes until she seemed a little more calm. For some reason my dad came in the room to ask some stupid question or something I’m not really sure. I could see his gaze fall on oakley and that we were holding hands. He didn’t say anything about it though and walked away. She pulled her headup and it looked like she wanted a kiss and I kind of went in for one but never fully committed so I was just kind of puckering in the air for a little bit. I looked down a little embarrassed but then she leaned in and kissed me. Still wasnt the greatest kiss on my end but It still made me feel better. We still didn’t say anything but oakley seemed happier. She picked herself up slightly and scooched down in front of me, her back leaned against my chest. This time I put both my arms around her. Her hands met mine and our fingers interlaced. Thats were my memory ot the scene fades out. Next scene I’m at home and my dad is working in the kitchen and he nonchalantly asks who that girl Was that I was with the other day. I think I said, that was Oakley and left it at that. Paige was being really antsy and runningabout the house. My mom warned me that she was overstimulated and needed some down time but I didn’t listen and reached out to pet her. She lashed out and attacked me with all four limbs and teeth. Normally she just nibbles a little too hard. It didn’t really hurt (somehow) but startled me a bit. I guess I was still in a bad mood but I go in to tell sonia to stop using my guitar. She gets mad at me and when I finally get it back, I see that the neck is cracked and barely hanging on to the rest of the guitar. I always feel weird about dreams doing things with actual people, because they don’t have a say in what happens its all in my head.
