"I don't understand why you can't just head down to the front desk and get another room" I exclaimed crossing my arms against my chest.

"Well why can't you do it" he copied my actions

"Because I bagsy'd the bed that's why" I argued taking a step closer to him

"Well I'm sleeping on the bed" he took a step closer to me, so close I could see the different shades of browns his eyes contained, the way his nose was a little crooked probably from being broken before and even down to the small pimple he has at the top of his cheekbone.

"Well so am I" i stubbornly stared at him

"Fine" he walked over to the left side of the bed away from the window

"Fine then" I walked over to the right side closest to the window.

He got into the bed on his side and I did mine.

"Don't" i put one pillow between us "pass" i put another to make a border sort of thing "this" i gave him a stern stare "wall"

"I wouldn't pass it even if the world depended on it"

"Sure" i sarcastically spoke

"Sure" his imitation of me was way off

"Sure" i tried to make my voice like his

"Suuure" he narrowed his eyes at me

"Sure" i pursed my lips

"Okay well I'm going sleep now" he muttered turning over me doing the same seconds before we both whispered a small sure under our breaths.

Fire.

There was fire everywhere

I couldn't comprehend anything except for fire. It was like the only two of my senses working were my sense of smell and eyesight.

Everything was silent except the screaming of the flames moving towards me.

"You have to remember i love you so much mi amore" it was like my hearing finally switched on

"Who's there" i managed to croak out, smoke filling my lungs making me crouch to the floor

"Who is it!" My hands flew to my throat as the flames increased there pace, as though on a mission to destroy me

"I love you so much mi amore" the voice whispered from the flames

"W-who are you!" My head twisted form side to side seemingly searching for something non existent as the struggle to breath increased

"You have to remember" faces and blurs were flashing through the fire as though they were one of its conquests

A book fell from the ceiling as my shaking fingers clutched the cover reading it aloud "you have to remember"

Suddenly my lungs were overpowered by the fumes, the flames were winning and my body wouldn't last any longer, i clawed at my throat as though it would provide me with the fresh source of oxygen i desired

Heavy breathing filled the room as i sat up panting "you have too remember" i chanted as though the words were engraved into my head

My breathing increased as my body took in the much needed oxygen

My eyes scanned the hotel room there was no fire.

With my hands still clutched to my throat i shakingly made my way over to the small bathroom shutting the door behind me.
