"What?" I looked straight at Larry, my eyes wide and teary.
"I've had the same dreams! I thought you were made up, Y/n!" He looked at me like he had known me his whole life, and I looked back the same. He pulled me into a hug, my hands grabbed the back of his shirt with desperation leading me to the first time I dreamt of them.
It had been the first time Dad left, the first time he said he was done and walked out. I went to sleep crying, scared for the future, and when I fell asleep I was somewhere new. The apartments. I stood in front of a treehouse, staring at it like it was the most interesting thing. Then someone was behind me, I felt them hug around my waist and put their head on my shoulder. The warmth of this new person taking over my entire body, I didnt know what I felt but I knew I liked it, no I loved it.
"I missed you." The voice said. I turned my face to look at him, he had his eyes closed. His long hair falling over my shoulder in a beautiful arrangement.
"Who are you?" I said, I was completely lucid and I could feel and do anything I wanted here, but I still couldnt bring myself to touch his face the way I wanted to. I wanted to hold his face in my hands, play with his hair, anything! I wanted anything to do with him.
"Larry, Larry Johnson." He said, somehow I already knew the answer to that, although I dont know how. I had never met him before in my life!
I held onto his hands, leaning into him. I had no idea who this was but in his grasp I felt more alive then I've ever been. More like a person than ever, it was like he belonged to me and I belonged to him. Like we were the same person, or maybe two halves of the same shape.
Someone peaked from the door in the treehouse, leaning down. I could only see in the corner of my eyes, but it looked like a girl my age.
"Okay you two, are you just going to stand down there or are you gonna come up?" I looked up at the person, her brown hair dangling from the treehouse. I had never met her but I knew who she was. She was Ashley, and I knew I loved her too, I knew that she loved me the same.
We both giggled and made our way up to the treehouse. It felt like hours that we all sat there and laughed. The feeling of already knowing them all a lifetime was so comforting. We talked about anything and everything, the telling of stories filled the tree house, and my mind. I had felt so much in so little time, that I didnt know what else could be felt.
When I woke up at that morning I had been wiped of all emotion, this is what was left to be felt. It was like my personality was left in another world. I couldnt feel anything, which wasn't bad. Even today my emotions are watered down, until this moment arouse.
I was ripped from my thoughts by the call of two more oh so familiar voices. The call of them made me jump in what could only be known as excitment or fear.
"What the hell are you guy- oh. Who's this?" That was Todd! I knew exactly who that voice was, and I was so excited to hear it again.
"What happened ?" And another voice I knew! Ashley!
