It's been almost 2 weeks since I went out with Leanne. We went to Spice Tandoori for tea. I'm not going to see her until the October Holidays. Mum and Dad have a surprise holiday booked for then. This is my last night at home until the next holidays. I'm leaving tomorrow morning. Hopefully it will be exciting.

Once I've had a shower and have put my pyjamas on mum knocks on my bedroom door and comes in. "Are you excited for tomorrow?" She asks enthusiastically. "Yeah, it will take a while to get used to not being at home though," I reply. "Oh, you'll be fine, it's just a few months until you can come home again," she smiles. "Aunt Lucy and Uncle John live all the way in Australia. We hardlies ever see them," mum reassures. I nod. "Anyway, I was wondering if you've had any dreams since last time?" She approaches me slowly. "I just want to know that you'll be okay at college." I want to tell her that I've had the same vision every night for weeks, but I don't want her to worry. I decide to only tell her if the dreams get really bad- when it's not worth living. "No." I try to sound believable. "That dream was the only one I've had since. Hopefully it's stopped now. Every night since has been a peaceful nights sleep," I lie. I don't like lying. It doesn't feel nice, especially if you get caught. "That's great to hear! You will tell me if there's any more?" "Of course," I reply. "Well, have a good nights sleep! You need to get up early and fresh in the morning. We have to be there by 10 for your first day," mum tells me. "Goodnight sweetie." "Goodnight mum."

I see the same girl starting at me, the same girl that looks  identical to me and has been in my dreams die the last few weeks. This time she's not oblivious to me, she knows I'm there. Her eyes fill up with tears, and her voice sounds shaky and gentle. "Help us, I'm being you! Please, help us." Before I can ask how I can help her, she disappears, and leaves me by myself in her bedroom. As usual, the mountain-sized meteor smashes into earth- leaving a devastating impact, and the huge tsanami wipes me out, and I wake up in bed.
