Afterlife

Chapter 1

"I write for you, My Sue."

Anna opened her eyes and looked at the clock beside her bed. 12:51. She sat up and grabbed her pillow and hugged it. She had that dream again. And this time, it felt real.

It's been three years now that she's having the same kind of dream. In her dreams, Anna was dressed in what seemed to like Victorian dress, usually in black. And there was this girl who seemed to be close to her, who was always with her. Whenever she was with this girl, she felt relaxed and comfortable. As if all of her troubles have been washed away. But just like in any of her dreams, Anna can't see her face. She doesn't know what she looked like but her voice, it's something that stucked with her.

And this time, her dream seemed to be a little different. In her dream, she was lying in a what seemed to be green house, naked - with only a piece of cloth covering her body which she shared with the same girl. "I write for you, My Sue." That's what the girl said to her as she held her hand. Anna felt like she was in heaven as she hear those words. There's something about those words that made her felt reassured and she swore that she could feel butterflies in her stomach.

"I wish I could see her face." Anna told herself. She laid back down and tried to fall back asleep. She need to. Her flight to Australia will be ten in the morning. She has to wake up early in order for her to not to miss her flight.

"I will never let go of you again."

Emily opened her eyes. "I have fallen asleep again." She said. She looked at the pieces of paper scattered on her study table. "Why can't I write a single thing?" She said to herself as she crumpled a piece of paper and threw it on the trashcan beside her.

It's been months and she wasn't able to write a single song. Few months ago, Beca has called her telling her that they're releasing a new album she wants Emily to write one of the songs. Being a fan of Beca and also as a fellow Bella, Emily did not hesitate to say yes to her senior. But now she regrets it because she couldn't write anything. And it frustrates her.

Her mind wandered back to her dream. A dream where she was lying in a greenhouse with the girl that has been appearing on her dream for years now.

She could never forget the face of the girl who constantly appears on her dreams. She sometimes writes songs inspired by this girl. This is the only way that she can express her feelings that grows as the dreams continue on.

Emily knows that the girl will always remain as a dream that's why she decided to focus on her studies and her life as part of the Barden University's Bellas. She even let herself accept Benji who has now become her boyfriend. But somehow, deep inside of her, she wanted to just stay in those dreams and be with the girl who has stole her heart.

She closed her eyes and she laid back. She remembered that beautiful face and those piercing eyes that can see through her soul. Emily smiled as she imagined herself that she was with her. In their own little world inside her dreams.

"My Sue." She muttered.
