A New Life, A Big Change {N.H} Book 1

Perfect dreams turns into Perfect Nightmares.

*Zenè*

What did I let myself into? I started liking Aralynne more and more; she was actually really nice. Perhaps a bit clingy with all her hugging.

I was alone in my room after everyone left, peace and quiet at last. I finished unpacking, putting my family pictures on the dresser.

I lay down on my bed, tired from all the unpacking and rearranging.

I heard people outside the door laughing and talking. I decided to close my eyes only for a few minutes just to rest up a little bit, and like so many times before, I fell asleep.

Everything was so perfect we were in a park. My whole family was there. We were laughing and joking. Nick was still alive, and Mike and I were still dating.

Everything was perfect, and happiness radiated from everyone. I stood up and walked over to the water's edge of the lake and looked over to the other side.

I could see a man standing there, staring at me. I saw blood covering the front of his shirt.

I then turned around, trying to get attention from someone in my family. They just kept on laughing, like they couldn't hear me.

I turned back, again looking over, and he was gone, disappeared.

I looked down at the water, and it was red. Blood filled the lake, the Crimson lapping at my toes.

I turned around trying to run away, but it was like my feet were stuck to the ground. My family was crying, and Nick was gone.

Everyone came over to me and started pointing fingers at me. They were getting really mad, scaring me.

"It's your fault, all your fault." They chanted in a singsong manner.

I tried to move again, and I could move. My feet were not stuck anymore. I ran, I kept on running, and then I fell, I kept on falling, screaming at the top of my lungs.

I woke up with tears in my eyes. Why do I have these dreams? Why is everything so perfect, and then it just goes wrong.

These nightmares have been haunting me since Nick passed away. It has gotten even worse since Mike and I broke up.

I stood up from the bed, took my towel, and went to the bathroom. I have to shake this feeling. It's just a dream, but what does it mean?

I removed my clothes, opened the water, and stepped into the shower, enjoying the cold water on my skin.

The dream started playing in my head again, making me think.

What if Nick is still alive? Hiding somewhere, maybe he is even sitting somewhere next to the beach.

"Stop being silly." I thought to myself.

"He is gone. We buried him. It has been three years. He would have come back if he was still alive."

I closed down the water and got out of the shower. I went to my room and got dressed. I looked at the clock on my bedside table 17:45 it blinked in red.

I don't want to stay in the room, I need some fresh air.

Searching for a book to read, I decided to just take one.

I stepped outside of the dorm, breathing in the fresh air. I went over to the map and searched for a nearby place to eat.

I walked to McDonald's because it was the closest to the dorm.

"Can I take your order?"

I ordered my food, walked over to a table closest to the window, and as far away from people as possible.

I wanted, no, I needed to be alone. I sat in peace reading my book Midnight in Paris when all of a sudden someone tripped and spilled their soda all over me.

"Seriously!"

"I am so sorry." He said, looking flabbergasted and forlorn.

I stared at him, he was handsome, with blond hair and blue eyes. I was entranced by his voice, a unique Irish phonetic charm. I snapped out of it, looking him in the eyes.

"I am really sorry. I will pay for your food." He stated, looking really sorry.

"Yeah, that you will," I said rudely.

I stood up and pushed him out of my way. I just took a shower, and now I have to shower again, all because of some idiot that doesn't look where he is going.

People in New York are so rude. If they don't cut in before you, they spill their drinks on you.

I got back to my dorm room all sticky and angry. I took my towel and headed for the showers again.

When I got back to my room after my shower, Aralynnewas was already asleep. I switched off the night light and fell asleep real quick.

*Stay sweet Xoxo ✌.
