All A Dream 27

Family is always there for you, even at your worst moments and your best. No one talks about what happens behind closed doors. The unspeakable can happen, the not knowing is the part that gets me. My family has always been open and honest about everything. Since I have grown up, and learned about what actually happens behind closed doors, it is a real eye opener.

To think all these years, my father has lied about his jobs and what he does. The fact I have not known about my twin and my mother. All the times I have asked about mom, he never once thought to tell me about them. Dad would always ball up and change the subject when I asked about my mom. Maybe one day I will understand why he chose not to, but for now it still hurts that I never knew about them. Deep down it still hurts me, but I am learning to be strong and confident.

My mindset is strong now that I have overcome so many obstacles. I will not go down without a fight, I am coming for the title to be the new leader, of the Phoenix Pirates. I can feel it in my bones, that I am destined to be next in line. Bailey is strong minded but she is weaker than I am. I have the will power to become and do anything that is necessary to do. I got these traits from my father. I am and forever will be a daddy's girl.

        After dad left to go home, and all the nurses had left the room, I fell back into a deep sleep. My body and mind is sore. I have no energy at the moment. These series of dreams came in and out of focus. I began to drift further and further into a deep sleep state.  There was one dream that actually stuck out to me.

     
          Bailey and I were standing side by side, she was holding something in her hand but I could not make it out, as it was blurry to see. I looked down in my hand and there was a sword, a shiny silver sword with a brass handle and engraved in red, was my name 'Halley'. I looked over the sword thoroughly and glanced back at where Bailey was standing, and then she disappeared. I looked around to see where she had gone too, and as I looked up, I saw many people standing before me. In the crowd was dad, mom, Bailey, and Aiden amongst the group of hundreds of people. All of these people were gathered here to see me. As I stood up, my cape of red silk came flowing down over my body, the sword at my right hand, and a beautiful crown of pearls and engraving sat upon my head. After I stood up, all of the men and women began to knell before me, as if I were their queen. Seeing this made me smile and feel very powerful with everyone by my side. I was their new queen and everyone was knelling at my command. This was my new army that awaited me. My dream was interrupted by dad and Aiden waking me up, and then I realized I am still in the hospital. That dream was wondrous while it lasted.

"wake up sleepy head," Aiden shouted tickling my toes, knowing damn well I am highly ticklish.

"hey! stop it!" I warned him, being firm as I could be.

"oh come on now, I was just messing with you," he babbled, with a shy look on his face. I felt bad for raising my voice at him, but he had it coming.

"I brought a book and a few outfits you can chose from. Bailey and mom went to town to grab a few things for when you come home. They said they would be by later on this evening to visit you. So Aiden insisted on riding with me to see you." Dad paused.

    "I spoke with the doctor before we walked in your room. Good news dear, he said to stay one more night to observe you and make sure you are good to go and then come morning, we can bring you home." Dad informed me.

"That's great news, so what am I suppose to do until tomorrow?" I wondered.

"The only thing you need to do, is rest" dad stated firmly.

         "Yes sir, maybe when I heal again we can continue what we didn't finish," I spoke.

"Hey dad can you ask the doctor for some pain medicine, this hand is killing me," I personally requested.
