My Dream

So, the other night, I had what I felt to be as the most scary dream I've had in a long time. Though when you read about it, it won't sound scary. It won't even sound like something that would even remotely be worthy to lift a finger over. But imagine this happening to you. For the sake of the story, This first person story will be told in a 3rd person fashion.

So strange, she thought to herself as she looked at her cousin about to be getting married. Just a few months ago, Her cousin had been screaming on their walk that she would never have a man, or a big wedding, because it would be conforming to the world that she was a girl that kind of thing. But there her cousin was, looking so happy in her big dress. Every family member rushing around the old house, past the large wooden staircase. Running to give a hug to someone they hadn't seen in a while, running to get last minute things ready. She  didn't even know the guy her cousin was marrying. Not that she saw her cousin all that often, but her still would have liked to see this guy.

"Hey, can you go grab some flowers from outside? I think that it may brighten up the place." Someone shouted at her. She blinked out of her thought process for a moment, then nodded happily, and running out the door, she did a cartwheel, feeling the warm sunshine on her legs, not caring that she was wearing a dress. Not that it mattered. No one was outside anyway.

Bending down, looking at all the flowers she smiled, and began to pick a few, looking at a particularly pretty purple one she walked over when all of the sudden a voice came from behind her, "Hello there."

She lifted her head up with a start, and turned around to see whom it was. It was her ex-boyfriend who she hadn't said a word to in over a year. What was he doing here? Why was he smiling? Why was she by herself at the moment? The guy had been an abusive guy, and he might try and hurt her. She took a step back, holding the flowers a little bit tighter.

"What? No hello back? I thought I meant more to you than that!" He chuckled and pulled out something from his pocket, she flinched.

"What are you doing here?" She managed to get out, heart pounding with the fear, she longed for someone to come back outside and tell her to come in, so she could run away. Anything to get away, so she wouldn't have to talk with him.

"I wanted you back." He said simply, "So, I came here to tell you, we have so much history together that we shall be tied together forever, People That fit together as puzzle pieces as we do, we can't stay apart."

Anger bubbled up inside of her, "I've moved on you know. I know you know I have someone else."

He smiled, "But he doesn't matter."

"But he does matter. He'll always matter. I love him." Her voice raised up in pitch as she began to yell, "I never loved you. I never will love you. And you'll never hurt me again!" Tears were pouring out of her eyes, and she dropped the flowers to the ground to cover her face to not show her tears and frustration in the situation. She wanted to be the bigger person.

She felt a hand grab her arm, "You keep telling yourself that."

And the dream ends. I wake up. Heart pounding through my chest wanting to scream out. And look at my alarm going to to signal that another school day is about to start.

Turning on my phone, I see the message light go blue, and with a panicked heart, I open it to find a message from someone else. It was all just a dream.
