Meela POV
After I put away the phone I am still smiling. I see Maddie has drifted off. I frown a bit when I see the tension crease in her forehead. I think she may be having a nightmare. My suspicions are confirmed when I see she is gripping on to the sheet so tightly her knuckles are turning white. I watch her to see what is going on. She starts yelling. I start shaking her to wake up.

MADDIE POV
I see Lynas hands clenched on the car so tightly her knuckles are turning white. I see the look of fear in her eyes. I am seeing Lyna back in the car. For a minute I thought she was safe she would be alright, until I saw the mocking street sign; Walsh. I tried screaming at her parents to stop the car but they can't hear me. I start running towards the car and yelling hoping I can get the car to stop before.... I'm too late. Just like the first time the other car rams into them and as I watch it almost feels like everything is going in slow motion.Bright flashing lights come to the car and I see them carrying out her dead family. They pull her out. She is unconscious. Looking like she did the first time around. Covered in blood from cuts. It doesn't look like she is breathing and I start to panic. As they are reviving her it looks like she might die as well. They can't let that happen. They can't.
"WAKE UP LYNA WAKE UP DAMMIT!" I yell. I hear a continuous tone and they stop working on her. "NOOOOOO LYNA WAKE UP YOU CANT DIE!"
I then felt someone violently shake me. It was Meela. I jump up. Meela looks at me worried. I am sweating and the room is dark. Meela comforts me.
"She she was in the back of the car." Meela frowns.
"The car it it it crashed and this time Lyna didn't survive." I sniff. Meela looks at me sadly.
"I have had the same nightmare Maddie." I frown. Just as I am about to say something Lyna walks in the room. Meela turns to her. "Hey what are you doing up?" She says. Lyna turns on the light and signs. 'I heard Maddie screaming is she alright.' I smile trying to cover up the tears.
"Yea I'm fine. Go back to sleep." I see her searching in my eyes for the truth. She is really good at that. And that's when I know I am toast. I see her get that frustrated look on her face. She signs angrily,'Don't try and shield me from things. If you are in pain you tell me! Don't hide it from me!' Meela looks at me with a pained expression and nods slightly. I scoot over abit and Lyna comes and sits by me. I begin.
"I Ummm had a nightmare. And in this nightmare. It was the car crash. And you didn't survive this time." She turns to me. She puts both her hands on my cheek and looks into my eyes. She then takes them off and signs.
'I am right here. I survived. I lived.' She puts her hands back on my cheek then kisses the top of my forehead. She pulls me into her arms. She wraps her arms tight. And for a second I think everything is going to be alright. I fall asleep with my head on Lynas lap.
LYNAS POV
I comfort Maddie as she falls back asleep. I told her it was alright. I was here. I wish I wasn't the guilt it's killing me. They all died and I survived. It feels selfish. Sometimes I'll sit there thinking what if I had died. What would have happened. The I think of Andre the boy from the party and for a second I am happy. He has made me happy. I feel Meela fall asleep with her head on my shoulder. I smile at her.
