I frantically woke up in the morning to the sweet sound of car horns and bustling traffic. I realized where I was: in a hotel in New York City. I look over to my mom to see her still sleeping. I stretch slowly and get off my bed. Last night I had a dream of Izzat.

We were laying down on a picnic blanket  together on top of a hill, under the shade of a tree. We were watching the sun dipping to the end of the horizon. There was a slight breeze, whipping through my short hair. We were so close to each other, there was only a few inches between us. I turned to look at him and he did too. We were  just staring at each others eyes. I was just appreciating every detail of his face. He then leaned in. I leaned in and closed my eyes. We were about to close the space when I heard a sound, like a wispy breath. I open my eyes and scream. He slowly turned into black smoke but I can still see the silhouette of his face. His smoky body went into mine through my mouth and nose. (sound familiar?)

That's when I woke up. I was thinking about all this dream in the shower. It was, by far, the scariest nightmare I had in my life. What happened? He became smoke and went into my body. God, I hope this is not like Stranger Things. But what shook me up was that he tried to kiss me and I tried to kiss him. Well, the dream version anyways. I got out of the shower and got a towel. I shook my head. No! I cannot feel this way! He's my best friend. But you can't ignore that feeling right?

I contemplated on what I should wear. Maybe some Eleven cosplay? Yeah, sure. I pick a dark navy blue sweater and some light grey sweatpants. I picked it because it was the outfit Mike gave to El in the second episode and partly it seemed appropriate for the weather. I go to my mom who was still sleeping. " Mom, wake up. We have to go to the event at 11:00."

She mumbled, " Okay, okay. I'm up." she gets up and stretches. "Just give me 20 minutes and go check if Izzat is awake."

I get my phone and text him.

Private Conversation With ZitZat:

Millsie: Hey wake up, or I'll put that video again.

ZitZat: I'm already awake. Don't worry. Come to my room in 5.

Millsie: Kay. <3

Chat Ended

I go to the mirror on the wall next to the desk to brush my hair. There was not that much to comb with my pixie cut and all but I tried to make it as neat as possible. After 5 minutes, my mom was in the shower and I made my way to Izzat's room. I knocked on his door a little forcefully. At least, I thought it was his door. An old, fat man answered the door with a frown on his face, wearing a bath robe. I was knocked back by surprise. "What do you want?" he growls. "I-I'm sorry wrong room." I say shyly. I mentally face-palm myself. Shit, wrong side. I tried to walk away but he grabbed my arm really hard, enough to get bruises.

"So you are going to knock on my door so that you can say 'wrong room'? I'm going to teach you a lesson girly!" spit flying in my face.

"I'm sorry! Let me go!" I try to loosen his grip but he just held tighter.

"HEY!" Izzat comes out of nowhere. "Let her go." he gives the guy a shove.

" Who are you suppose to be? Are you her boyfriend or something?" he asks with a sneer.

" That's not your concern. I will be your worst nightmare if you don't let her go." Izzat snaps back.

Izzat crossed his arms. He was pretty well-built and the old man had these flabby arms and legs. He was a few inches taller than the man too. He was pretty intimidating.

The old man sneered again before letting me go. He slams the door on us and I was crying before I realized it. " Hey, why are you crying? Come on, let's go to my room." he suggested. I just nodded. We went to his room and when he closed the door, I embraced him in a tight hug. He was hesitant at first but then started to hug me back. After a few minutes, he led me to his bed.

"Hey, Millster. What happened back there?" he asked with his voice full of concern.

"He just grabbed my arm and said that he will teach me a lesson. And then you came." I looked at him with eyes full of tears.

"Why did you even go there in the first place?" I blush really hard.

"IwantedtoknockonyourroombutIaccidentallyknockedonthewrongone." I say with my face in my hands.

He was biting his lip, trying not to laugh.

"It's not funny! So much for my Knight In Shining Armour."

"It is kinda funny." then he looked at my arm. "Woah, are you okay?"

I look down at my arm and there was this massive bruise on my arm in the shape of a hand. "Asshole." he muttered. " Do you want to tell your mom?"

"No! Don't, please."

"Okay, fine. I have some special ointment for bruises." he was shuffling through his bag and grabbed a bottle of brown liquid. He got a dab of the medicine and rubbed it on the wound. I immediately felt better. I think it showed it on my face because he just said. "Why are you smiling? Is it because it feels better or is it because I'm touching you?" I shove him off his bed. "Hey, I'm trying to help here," he says with a laugh, "come on, let's go to your mom and get to the con."

He offered his hand to get me up.

I happily accepted it.
