"Hi."

I turn to the left of me and she smiled. Her wide smile set my heart a-flame. Her eyes brought me warmth and her presence made me feel safe.

"H-hi."

She giggled and got up, grabbing me by the arm. She pulled me up from the grass and I only realized the open feild.

"W-wait, where are we going?"

"To watch the flowers bloom silly. It was always a dream of yours right?" She giggles. A gladsome smile met my features and I felt alive again.

We reached the top of a hill and I frowned. "Where are the flowers?" She points.

"Over the edge." Her innocent voice echoed and I got closer to look. It was indeed an ocean of flowers below us, just waiting to bloom.

I just stood there, admiring the white flowerets.

"They're tulips, just the way you like." She eased closer to me and snuck her fingers between mine.

"How are you here?" I finally got the courage to ask. She said nothing. "Answer me." I whisper. Tears blurred my vision and she gazed up at me, grinning from ear to ear.

"Because you're thinking of me Eddy." Her tone got flat and the smile dropped.

"I'm sorry."

She chuckled. "For what?"

"Losing you." My tone was barely above a whisper.

"Too late now huh?"

I nod, feeling tears prick the corner of my eyes. "You know Eddy...I can't forgive you for what you did."

"You started it, and wanted to leave." A sniffle.

"Because I became a woman. Now look at you...all guilty. Why else would you think of tulips instead of any other flower? It signifies guilt you know. Because it's what you are, guilty, and now you're getting what you deserve."

She took a step back and I wiped my eyes, frowning. "What?"

She didn't answer me, she took a few more steps back, stopping when we were just a foot apart.

"Em-

My words were cut short when Amelia appeared beside her. This is a dream, it has to be, all of it is.

"Amelia."

"Fucking die you creep!" They screeched in unison. Before I knew it her hands were pressed against my chest and with a strong force shove I flew from the edge.

My eyes flew open and inhaled sharply. My hand flew over my chest to ease my beating heart. I could feel the cold sweat drip drown my face and my eyes bulged out of my head.

That was a fucking nightmare.

I sat up, groaning at the pain in my head. She hit me with something.

I stumbled to my feet and wiped the drying blood from my forehead. Exactly how long was I out for?

"Don't you fucking move or I swear I'll kill you." I gazed over to see Amelia crying, clutching the knife I'd killed Theo with in one hand and her phone in the other.

"Yes ma'am he's awake." She sniffs, staring at me. "He's just standing there, not doing anything." She explains in panic. Her hands are trembling and her bottom lip is quivering due to how terrified she is.

I couldn't help but smile. She looks crazy, like...my personal Harley Quinn, but more...whiney.

"Ma'am, how much longer?" She pleads behind a sob. "Fo-I don't have that long, please tell them to hurry up." She sobs.
