Just a Dream

Wait... Why am I in a casket?

Song of the chapter- Live Like There's No Tomorrow by Selena Gomez

It just works okay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I never thought I'd have to do this.

I'm currently in a wheelchair, sitting in front of my best friend's casket.

What kind of twisted fate is this?!?

Niall stands beside me, completely shattered. This is the viewing before the ceremony. Ni looks over at me, tears in his eyes. I swallow back mine, I know I'll cry plenty.

Before I know what's happening, I'm being escorted to my seat. And then the service begins.

"Avery Marie Walsh was very loved and adored by all who knew her. Her best friends Alyssa and Niall..." I zone out at that point, focusing too hard on trying to keep from crying.

Why?

Why me?

Has my life not been torturous enough?

Why?

Niall takes my hand and squeezes it reassuringly. I manage a watery smile, and he sends one back.

This is too unbelievable.

Soon enough, we're called up for final viewing. Niall pushes me up there, and we sit side by side, both of us holding on to one of her hands. We both are so absorbed in all of the memories and sadnesses, we're completely space out.

Maybe that's why it takes a moment to realize she's not supposed to squeeze our hands.

I do a double take, not believing what I just felt. I look over at Niall, and his wide eyes reveal that he felt it too. I look down at Avery, not letting logic get in between me and hope.

"A-Avery?" I call softly, brushing her cheek a bit.

Then I see it. Her eyes twitches and my breath catches in my throat.

Holy fudgesicles.

Slowly, her eyes flutter open and I let my breath out. "Oh my god."

She manages a weak smile to us. "Hi guys. Wait... Why am I in a casket?"

I never thought I'd have to answer that question.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few things.

One, I know this wouldn't happen, but it helps the story, all right?

Two, I do have a reason for her random revival.

Three, are you over your need to kill me? I hope so...

Oh, and four, this still isn't the super dramatic thing ;) it's coming up soon though, I promise.

Three updates in a day, yay!

I just couldn't leave you guys with a dead Avery like that, too mean.

Yes, I know, short, but it got what I needed. And it is the third update today, cut me a break lol.

Luv ya!
