I lay in bed listening to the pitter patter on the roof. It's been raining for a week now and feels never-ending. It's been 3 months since charlie had fallen into his comma. Going to school and him not being there has taken a toll on me more than I thought. I've only known him for a short time, but something about him makes my heart race. I've been doing a lot of thinking and research about my feelings and what they might mean, and I think I have an answer. I'm lost in thought, in my own little world, before I hear my name being called and being brought back to reality.

"Nicky dear! Come down here, please!"

"Coming, mom!"

I slowly make my way down the stairs to the kitchen where my mom is standing.

"Here, put these on." she hands me my glasses, I hate these things they're so uncomfortable. She slides a folder over to me, and I look at her confused.

"Open it, honey."

I open it and pick it up. It's really hard for me to make out any of the words, but I see a big red stamp on top of the righting. I squint a little more and make out the word "APPROVED"

"Mom, what is this?"

"It's a letter from the insure company lovey, you're surgery is been approved!"

"Really! You mean it!" I start to tear up a little and hug my mom excitedly.

"When is it?" I asked nervously.

"Well, I spoke with the doctor, and he says the earliest we can get you in is tomorrow!"

"So soon? That's incredible! I'm so nervous, what if it doesn't work? " I say anxiously.

"The doctor thinks there's a 90% chance that it will work. It'll take some time for you to fully heal, but you should be able to see almost perfectly. You will, though, need to wear glasses for the rest of your life, I'm so sorry, nicky."

"Sorry! You don't gotta be sorry, if it means seeing again I'll happily wear glasses." I gave her a big hug again

"Can we go see Charlie before we go?"

"Of course honey, we can."

I head upstairs for the night, laying in bed thinking about seeing charlie, seeing his face, every little detail. I'm so excited. I have trouble sleeping from the excitement and anxiousness. I guess Nellie sensed something because she jumped up on my bed and laid down on my chest. I began to pet her.

"Thank you, sweet girl," and before I knew it, I drifted off to sleep

I woke up taking a deep breath. Light shining in my eyes, I covered my face. Once my eyes adjusted, I realized I was under a tree, huh? How'd I get here? I thought to myself, standing up brushing myself off. A warm breeze brushed through my hair, and the air was sweet from the flowers surrounding me. I was in some type of field with trees all around. I hear laughter and barking, I looked around and caught a glimpse of a slinder boy with dark curls running in the trees, Nellie chasing him in a playfull way. I tried to run after him but it was like I was running in place.

"Who are you?!" I called out

It's like he couldn't hear me. Nellie stilling chasing him. I called out again

"Where are we?! Who are you?!" I tried to shout loud enough for him to hear. Slowly, he came to a stop. I could see him. He was so beautiful, with dark curly hair, bright blue eyes. He looked to be my age, he smiled and waved at me. I tried running to him again but nothing then I woke up, in my bed. It was morning, and I could hear my mom shouting for me.

"Wake up, Nicky, we need to head out!"

"I'm awake! I'm awake..."

Who was he...
