"Why are you so sad?" a little boy said.

"I can't do it. I can't push myself." I started to cry.

"I'll help you!" and he started to push me. I can finally ride the swing.

"Higher, higher!" I giggled. When it stopped, we played after.

"Little Lottie!" mommy called for me. She went where I was standing. "Who's your new friend, Mia?"

What was his name? "U-uh.."

"My name is Carson Brent Pierce, ma'am." he bowed like a Japanese. Haha! He's funny!

"Hello, Carson, do you come here often?"

"Yeah! But my mommy is here with me today because daddy is sick and in bed the whole day." he became sad on the last part. Poor him. I remember when I was sick. I can't even get up to get my toys.

Just then, a pretty lady came with two ice cream cones. "Hello, dear. One for you and your friend." she even gave me one! What a nice lady.

"Thank you sooo much!"

She laughed. "She's so adorable, Linda!"

"Mommy, can I still play with Little Lottie?"

"Of course! You can even go to their house. Her mommy already said yes."

"Yay!" I screamed.

Carson held my hand and began to drag me. "Come on, Little Lottie!"

"It's Mia!"

"Okay...Mia. Will you always play with me?"

"Yeah!"

"Will you always be my best friend?"

"YEAH!"

"Yay! I love you, Mia!" I heard our mommies gasp and he turned red.

Mia's P.O.V.

I woke up to find myself freezing. I had the same dream for two weeks. Now I remember everything. Darn, it's only 3:00 a.m. I just woke up again in 3 in the morning and on a Saturday. Great...not.

I can't sleep anymore. I have to call him.

"Hello, gorgeous." he said in a sleepy voice.

"Hey..." I felt guilty. I must've woke him up...again.

"Can't sleep?"

I sighed. "No...I dreamt about it...again."

He muttered. "Me too, love." he sighed heavily. "I can't sleep either."

"I want to...but I can't." I moaned.

He chuckled lightly. "You're turning me on right now."

I scoffed. "Oh, shut up! I wanna go back to sleep but I can't."

"Psh. I'm starting to hate my mother, look at what she did to us. To you!"

"No. I don't blame your mom. It's just sleep, Carson. And it's a Saturday. I can sleep in."
