Korah

***
It's roughly six months now and I still have hallucinations of Trevor, even while I walk on the street.

Been a fresher in the university of Toronto is exciting even though I sometimes isolate myself from some events.

Tatiana and Dawn also made it into the same school with me luckily. We meet everyday after classes and hang out.

They must be glad on how lively I am these past months but I still cry myself to sleep whenever Trevor crosses my mind.

Dawn would set blind dates with guys who told her they like me but I just neglect,still not interested in any other person.

"We are hundred percent going to be present at the upcoming fresher's party". Dawn spoke up after reading the content on a flyer.

"You've already decided yourself". Tatiana smirks.

"Korah is definitely attending,and I don't need to ask you". Dawn sibilated.

"You guys should have fun then,I'm not attending". I reject, my ears blocked with earphones as I listen to Trevor's voice on my songs.

I do this everyday and it keeps me alive.

They both turn to me and I shrug. "I just don't want to".

"Come now Korah. It's going to be fun". Tatiana pleads as we walk to Tatiana's car.
I'm learning how to drive while Dawn is just been lazy.

"I know..I know...I don't feel like". I argue,sliding into the front seat. Watching Tatiana drives helps a lot.

Dawn hits her forehead in frustration. "Korah,we won't go without you,final!".

Tatiana raise her brows. Is Dawn been truthfully or just saying,so I will be forced to tag along.

"No..you shouldn't do that. You girls can seriously go without me and I'll be fine with that". I tuck in my seat beat, avoiding their stares.

"We will all stay behind or go together". Tatiana said, getting Dawn's scope as she starts the car to drive off.

We all stay in different apartment but organize sleepover most times.
"You know I won't accept for you both to stay behind just because of me,right?". I arch my brows.

"Yes...that's exactly why we should all go together". Tatiana draws,driving into the main road with her eyes focused on the road.

I roll my eyes,shaking my head in their smartness.
"Okay..okay..you won". I finally said.

They sure have their way of talking into me like its a talent or something...

Dawn blows me a kiss from the back and I wave it off,chuckling. I glance at Tatiana and she just gave me a wink,blushing.

"Here..we..are". She parked at the side of my apartment and I came down,waving with gratitude before Tatiana drove off.

I sigh softly, taking my time while I climb the stairs to my flat,shoved my hand into my bag for the key and bursted in.

Flipping my body to the bed,I rub my forehead in tiredness.
It feels good to finally be home.

Bunch of assignments to attend to and my friends still want to attend some party.

I reluctantly pull off my clothes and descended into the shower. I touch my neck at the cold sensation of the necklace on my neck.

I close my eyes,remembering how Trevor placed it on my neck. Months have gone by but the feeling from that day remains the same.

I sharply reminisce Evan,telling me how Mr Linwood got arrested a week after my departure.

He didn't feed me in details but rapidly about how he's involved in hard drugs.

Trevor must have been a victim without his father noticing. Talk more of trying to help him.

I wrap my pink robe around my body and headed to the kitchen to make dinner.

I grab my phone on the way after hearing a buzz.

Tatiana texted the venue and the already paid tickets.

I sent a smiley emoji and threw the phone back to the couch. It won't be so bad attending a little party after all...

My friends had to bribe me just to go shopping with them.

We went to three different malls before getting what Tatiana finally likes.
"You should change this act of yours,Dawn". I warn as she head back. "God..I'm so tired". I mutter,shutting my eyes to gain strength.

"Sorry..." She apologize, holding her shopping bags to her chest.

"I think I'll need a nap". I said,adjusting in my seat at the front While Tatiana drove off.

"I'll wake you when we get to your place". Dawn said and I turn to glare at her. She's the reason why I'm exhausted.

"Korah...there's this guy at school who-"

"Let's not even start talking about that". I cut Tatiana off. She's trying to pair me with some random dude but I am nor interested.

"You have to move on one day,Korah". She ended, exhaling sharply and I remain mute.

"I'll see you on Saturday". I said in a rush before Tatiana drove off.
Entering my own little space,a bright smile appear to my face.

I shut my eyes tightly the second I find out I planned to go to the grocery store today but forgot. It would have been way easier going directly with Tatiana.

The urge to go out vanish the moment I am in my apartment and it takes a lot to go out again.

I put my sweatpants back on and a black crop top,wave a small bag around my shoulder and went out,greeting a few neighbors on the way.

I picked some items that I would need for the week so I won't have to bother going almost every day.

Mr Linwood's PA still sends me weekly allowance which is enough of an entire month. I'm saving some of it to open a studio.

Strolling back,my eyes are clicked to the receipt given to me at the store. It's just an habit for me to check everything properly.

I took my gaze up to see the special person of my dreams,across the road.

I pause to gave him a smile. I must have missed him so much I have hallucinations everyday.

Trevor surely find his way to show that he still cares. I sigh softly then turn to walk away.

At times,I really wish I can hug him from my Imaginations or hallucinations but people looked at me as been crazy.

Without turning back, I took the next bus directly to the bus stop close to my place.

TREVOR
(HE SURVIVED)

It took a whole lot of strength to get me back to my feet. The first person that crossed my mind was Korah.

I was told that they informed her I'm no more and I can't imagine the pain she'd feel. I'm still trying to figure out why my Dad put up with the act for her to believe.

Been in rehab for months .yet,my only wish was to find her and show her that I'm alive. I took the next flight to Canada the day I got out of rehab.

Thanks to Evan who found the papers of her departure in my Dad's office. He planned it all so well,no one would notice a thing.
Thankfully, he's currently in jail.

I decided to show myself to Korah today while she came out of the store. She smiled at me and walked away,she must have thought I'm just a mere imagination.

Following her to her apartment,my eyes is did not move away. I miss her so much I want to hug her.

I watch her enter her apartment and I took a deep breath before going to knock. She deserve to know the truth.

"Yes..a minute". I heard her shout behind the walls.
Hearing the jingling of the keys,I took a deep breath.

"Who is-" she pause the second she saw my face.
"Korah.." I call softly, staring at her.

She left the door handle, slowly moving backwards with her eyes fixed on me.

She's shocked out of her wits,her lips parted with disbelief. I can't blame her for been this flabbergasted. She thought I was dead,and to suddenly see me standing in front of her, she must think she's going crazy.

But she isn't the only one who feels as of she's losing her sanity. Not being able to talk nor see her for months was draining me. My dreams were filled with her.

I move closer as the door bangs by it's self. Tears escape my eyes as I grip her cheeks in hand,feeling her body trembling under my touch.

Her mouth opens and closes as they quiver from astonishment, and the desire within me rises tremendously. I've missed her much, I just want to be with her.

The memory of the last time I saw her can in clearly as she's close to me.

Groping her nape,I pull her into me and passionately plant my lips on hers.

Third_Person pov

Korah cannot seem to understand what is happening. Trevor is dead; he is supposed to be dead,then why is he standing here right now,kissing her sensually? Is she dead? Have their souls reunited?.

Though she finds it hard to believe that this figure isn't just a figment of her imagination or simply a phantom version of him, she cannot deny the life in the kiss,the warmth of this body, and the beating of his heart against her chest.

She can feel the love,the hurt and the pain. She can feel it all. It's real..He must be real.

He slowly breaks away,and she stretches his glassy eyes with hers.

Have she finally lost her mind? Is she imagining things now?

She battles to pull her voice from her throat. "I..must be going crazy.."

Trevor stares at her with watery orbs,and she raises her hand to grope her head. "I have finally lost it. A-am I dead?"

His face soothes a little and his eyes cloud with remorse and compassion. "No..you are not dead,Korah". He whispers.

She stares at him. She cannot understand how he is standing right here in front of her. It just doesn't make sense. She raises her hand to his cheek as fresh tears make her appearances.
"Are..you real?"

He put his hand over hers and her breath hitches when she feels the warmth of his skin. His touch is the same.
"I'm not dead. I am real,Korah".

She burst out in tears as she springs into his arms,wrapping her hands around him as she sobs into his jacket.

"I am sorry". He signs,using his thumbs to wipe away the tears from beneath her eyes.

He plants a kiss on her head. "I am so sorry".

She shuts her eyes and tears form pathways against her face as she cries against him.

If this Is a dream,she doesn't want to wake up..
