The Man In Our Dreams (Joey Crusel)

Epilog

It's a year later and we were all released from the mental hospital. Kristen still has the ability to pull people into her dreams which gets annoying. Me and Joey are still together after all this time. His hair has grown out and I love it. Lately, Kristen has gotten paranoid that Freddy is coming back. I don't believe her, we got rid of him. I think it's terrible that she even brings it up. We all went through hell, some of us lost close friends, and are scarred from it. Because Kristen has been paranoid, she has been pulling us into her dreams. The 3 of us can't get any sleep anymore. Anyway, I was staying at Joey's house for the night and we were fast asleep in his bed. All of a sudden we hear our names being called. I shrug it off and close my eyes again. But when I opened them Joey and I were in a boiler room. "It's Kristen again" Joey said. "God I just want one night" I said rubbing my eyes. "This girl can't shut up" Kincaid said coming up behind us. We went to find Kristen, we eventually found her, and I tapped her shoulder. She jumped and turned around. "Joey, Wren, Kincaid" She said with a sound of relief in her voice. "Don't sound all innocent" Kincaid said crossing his arms. "Kristen, you gotta stop this, we want a good night's rest." I said rolling my eyes. "But it's Freddy, he's back" She said looking around, scared. "Freddy is history" Joey said going over to the boiler. "It's cold" He said putting a hand on it. "You can't keep calling us for this bull shit, Kruger is dead! And we lost a bunch of people to do it!" I said getting fed up. I felt a couple of tears form in my eyes, and Joey put a hand on my back. All of a sudden we heard bangs from the boiler. I grabbed Joey's arm, scarred that Kristen might be right about Kruger coming back. The lid flew open and Kincaid's dog came flying out. He quickly bit Kristen's arm and ran off. Me and Joey jolted awake and we were back in his bedroom.

It's the next morning and me and Joey are walking into school hand in hand. We walked past a bulletin board that had a little memorial of the friends we lost back at Westin Hills. It made me sad, yet happy that the school cared enough to put it up. "Why did they put this up? It just makes everyone sad" Kincaid said coming up behind us. "They put it up so the students could remember them, and the whole topic of suicide even though none of them committed it." I said looking down. "They are in a better place now, they don't have to be stuck here being called crazy" Joey said quietly. I look over to see Kristen getting stuff out of her locker. "Guys we should go talk to Kristen about this dream thing" I said and started walking. The three of us went up and leaned on the lockers next to her's. When she closed her locker, she jumped when she saw us. "Guys, you scared me" She said chuckling. "Kristen we gotta talk about last night" I said crossing my arms. "Yeah, we do. Kincaid, what was up with your dog?" She said with a snotty look. "He's like me, he gets pissed when you interrupt his beauty sleep" Kincaid said with sass. "Look, you can't keep calling us into your dreams like that. We need sleep too." I said. "Ok I'm sorry" SHe said looking down. Then her boyfriend Rick came over and grabbed Kristen from behind. "Hey, we'll talk later, ok?" Joey whispered. "yeah" She said and we walked away. After 8 hours of hell, we finally went home. Joey and I walked out of the school and I saw that my brothers were there to pick me up. "Well, I guess my ride's here" I said smiling. "Damn" He said sounding kind of sad. "Hey" I said grabbing his hand. "I'll call you after dinner, ok?" I said. "Ok" He said and put a smile on his face. "I love you" I said. "I love you too" He said back and he kissed me. I gave him a hug, said bye then got in the car with my brothers. "Awwww look at you two" Zack teased. "Oh shut up" I said playfully hitting his arm. "Ok children stop fighting" Cody said with a smile. I still have a great relationship with my brothers. We finally got home and I went straight up to my room to start my homework. After a few hours of homework I was called down for dinner. My dad, as he always does, asked about what we dreamed about the night before. Cody's dream was he met the girl of his dreams, Zack made the football team, and I told him about a different dream. I didn't want to be sent back to Westin Hills. After we ate I went back upstairs and decided to call Joey. I picked up the phone and dialled his number. It rang for a while but he didn't pick up. I was guessing he fell asleep. I went back downstairs and sat on the couch. I turned on the TV and saw that The Goonies was on. So I started to watch it, then Cody walked in. He looked at me then the TV, then back at me. "Really, Wren? The Goonies again?" He said with judgment in his voice. "Shhhhhh Sean Astin is about to tell the One Eyed Willie story" I said gluing my eyes to the TV. He scoffed and walked away. After the movie was over it was about 9 o'clock so I started getting ready for bed. After getting ready I decided to try to call Joey again. It rung and no one picked up. So I just went to sleep. 

The next morning came and I was off to school. I walked in the classroom to see Joey and Kincaid's seats empty and Kristen freaking out. I walked up to her and put my hands on her shoulders, turning her around. "Kristen, what is wrong? Where is Joey and Kincaid?" I asked. "It's Freddy! He killed them!" She yelled. My eyes went wide and I ran out of the school all the way to Joey's house. I ran up the porch and banged on the door. "MRS CRUSEL!!! IT WREN OPEN THE DOOR PLEASE!!!" I screamed. She opened the door with a concerned and worried face. "Wren? What's wrong?" I pushed past her and ran up to Joey's room. I burst through the door and ripped the blanket off his bed, to see the love of my life dead inside of his water bed. I let out a horrified scream. His mom came up and also screamed. I fell to floor crying. "No no no that bastard!" I yelled.

I was now back in my room with dried tears on my cheeks and a blank stare. I heard a knock on my door. "What?" I said. It was my brothers. "can we come in?" They asked. "I guess" I said. They came in and sat next to me. "Wren, we are so sorry about what happened to Joey" Zack said. "Yeah, we know you really liked him" Cody added. "I didn't just like him, I loved him" I said as a few tears rolled down my cheeks. "I just need sleep" I said. "Ok, Night Wren" They said and left. I soon drift off to sleep, just to wake up in Westin Hills."What the fuck?"I said to myself. I got out of the old bed I used to sleep in. I walked down the hall and saw all of my friends, dead friends. "Guys?" I said. "Wren" Will said with a smile. I ran to them to give them all a hug but they all disappeared, except Joey. "Wren" He said and opening his arms. I ran into them, holding onto him for dear life. "I'm sorry, baby. I didn't have a choice" He said. "I know" I said as tears fell from my eyes. "I still love you" He said. "I still love you too" I said holding him tighter. I pull away to see I was being hugged by the bastard that killed my boyfriend. He grabbed me by my neck and pinned up against the wall. "Sorry to cut this love story short" He said and plunged his knives into my chest. I started to bleed out. All I could get out was, "Fuck you, I finally had the one thing I wanted, and you killed it. Go to hell" and then everything went black. 

Zack's POV

I woke up and didn't see that Wren was awake. So I went into her room to try to wake her up. I shook her and called her name but she didn't wake up. I checked her pulse, my little sister was dead...

ok now I promise this is the end.
