Girl of My Dreams

Chapter 2: Journey to Dreamland

Ryan's POV:

I was thinking about her. Emily Rose. It was 2:30am before I fell asleep, and then the weirdest things happened. I was in a familiar place. A place from another dream I had a while back. I was depressed last time, this time, I was really happy. I was standing on the same bridge as before. Then, I heard the same voice. I turned around and I found Emily standing there. I hadn't noticed, but Emily is the girl from that dream. I must be losing my mind.

"Emily?!" I said, freaking out. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"I'm not sure, but I'm not complaining. I love it here." She said, smiling as she climbed a tree and sat on a branch.

"This is weird. I don't remember my dreams, but I remember this place. And I remember you." I tried explaining the best I could, but I don't think she was listening.

"I used to come here when I was little. I think you'll love it here."

"Emily, I have a question."

"Yeah?" She said quietly, looking at the clouds.

"How'd you find me?"

Emily's POV:

It was almost like Ryan was really in my dream with me. He was analyzing every little detail. Then he asked how I found him.

"Hm... I don't know. I was just walking around and I saw you." I stared at the clouds so he couldn't see me blushing.

"Do you remember the bridge?" He started climbing the tree that I was sitting in.

"Yeah, I remember feeling like I had to go there and I saw you there." I looked down, still trying to hide my face.

"Emily."

"Just call me Em."

"Em, I think I'm actually losing my mind. Are you real, or am I dreaming of you?" Ryan said with a concerned look.

I leaned over and hugged him and put my head on his chest. "I'm definitely real, Ry." I whispered, squeezing his torso as he leaned against the tree trunk.

"Wow. I bet Augustus and Hazel wish they had a place like this."

"What?" I felt so lost.

"Book reference, I guess you wouldn't understand."

"You're really smart, it's cute." I smiled at him. I couldn't stop feeling so affectionate toward him, but I tried to keep myself from kissing him.

Ryan smiled back at me. "Oh, thank you so much." He laughed. His laugh is so cute.

I started feeling weak, and hot, and sluggish. "I feel like I just woke up."

"Well if we're both asleep, maybe you're about to wake up. Give me your number, I'll text you when I wake up."

I gave him my number in a heartbeat. I sat up in my bed and looked at the clock. Ugh... School...
