*My dream*

I causally walk to Dan's hotel. I see millions of faces and I know with just one touch that persons life story gets revealed into my mind.

I keep walking keeping my head down.

Then I feel a hand on my shoulder.

I turn around to face a homeless man. I feel awful, so I take out my empty wallet manifest some money and give it to him. He smiles a toothless grin and sits on the bench.

I continue walking all the way to the entrance of the hotel.

The lobby is jam packed! I decide to take the stairs.

'stupid mortals' i sigh under my breath.

The white stairs are barren.

I walk up them, only hearing the echo of my wedges against the concrete.

"I prefer the stairs too." I voice says behind me.

I spin on my heels. How did he sneak up behind me?

"Uh..oh...ya..it's busy down their..." I stutter.

"What's your name?" He asks'

"Uhh...oh! Yeah...it's..it's Riley.." I blank.

UGH! I'm so stupid! Why would I use my aunts name...

'hey at least she's dead.' I think to myself....that wasn't funny...

"Oh! HI Im Taylor!" He says holding out his hand with a smirk sprawled across his face.

OH NO! I know that smirk! He might have changed his hair, and put contacts in...but even before making contact with him I know.

I know it's the one guy that ruined my life!

*End Of Dream*

I wake up screaming, sweating head to toe.

My parents are probably out right now.

I look at my clock, three in the morning.

I grasp my tousled  hair in my hands gripping it tightly.

This can't be happening! I thought he left for good! I hope this turns out to be just paranoia.

I start pacing my room. Think, think, think!

Why would he be in New York? Easy question, for me.

How did he find me? Probably cause he's a creepy stalker guy.

I let out a big huff and plop on my back.

"What's riding your nerves again?" He soft voice infiltrates my ears. I stand up.

"Riley?" I question, my mood lifting just the slightest bit.

"Yes it's me!" She giggles.

I know what you're thinking! I thought you said she is dead? Yeah she is! Unlike my Mum and Dad I can see and speak to people who have... and haven't crossed the bridge to 'heaven'.

"I missed you so much! Why were you gone so long?" I suddenly weep.

"What do you mean? I was always there." She says calmly.

"I just couldn't see you..." I sigh knowing it's true.

"Exactly!" She smiles.

"Well....I think you should know why I'm freaking out." I grumble.

"Well no..I can't see your dreams Ari." She sternly states.

"right..." I whisper.

"Soo.....you gonna tell me?" She asks.
