Dreams And Affections

Chapter 3: Familiar Voices (Part One)

Valerian Blanche's POV

"Burton.."

"Burton where are you?"

"I need you."

I woke up to myself as I heard myself sleep talking.

I slowly stood up while touching my head, until I realized my visions are fine now, and I don't feel weird anymore.. Geez what was that all about?

But, I had a strange dream. I saw a tall, white boy with curly black hair that is slightly longer because his hair is touching his nape, and he is also wearing a dark red knitted sweater, he was skinny and also good looking..

I saw him he was sitting by the swings, while peacefully watching the sun and tall grass getting blown by the cold wind.

But something else happened to him, he immediately stood up and he was turning around it's like he was looking for someone that is calling for him, but it seems like he can't find that person. Until I realized I was sleep talking.

Was I the one who's calling him?

Is he Burton?

Who is he?

Does he even exist?

I can clearly remember what he said to himself before I woke up, he said he needs me, he wants to see me, he wants to say Hello and he said he wants to know me..

"If this is you Val.."

Wait..

How does he know my name? Do I know him? That's ridiculous. I haven't talked or been friends with some boy..

Ah, whatever.. Dreams aren't real. It's just a dream.

I checked my clock and it's already 7:48 PM, damn, how long was I blackout?

I went downstairs to get a glass of water, I also check the fridge and I let out a sigh.. I only saw one pack of Mac And Cheese and the rest is just water and a rotten apple.

"Nice work of taking care of your daughter, Dad." I said to myself before I took the Mac And Cheese to heat it in the microwave.

After my food is already good and freshly heated, I went to our living room to watch a boring TV show, When I opened the television I immediately saw an old telenovela. It appeared to be a good-looking elegant woman crying on her bed, and there is a man approaching the woman in tears, the man looks like he has a simple life.

"We are just too different.." The woman said while wiping her tears away, but the tone of her response was obviously she is still in pain.

"Our lives may be different, but what we feel for each other won't change. If we do truly love each other, our feelings for one another will remain despite how different our lives are. We can run away to a far place where no one will notice us. And we are gonna be free and make our new future together." The man answered by heart and hold the woman's hand.

Now it made me wonder since I feel the same. I do want to run away too, but I never thought what it feels like to run away with someone you adore, someone you truly love, and someone whom you want to spend the rest of your life with.

When the scene looks like they are about to kiss, I heard a knock on the door. I immediately stood up and closed the television and went to the door.

I twist the doorknob in order for me to open the door, and then there I saw Mr. Wilson. He is a package delivery man or sometimes he drives his van which he uses for delivering stuffs to a building where to ship other packages that need to be delivered to another country.
