We All Fall Together

-fifteen-

I woke up trying to hug Ron but when I opened my eyes, he wasn't there. I sat up and looked around. The bathroom door opened and there came a shirtless Ron.

"Hey! Good Morning Beautiful! Happy Birthday!" He said happily.

Wait.

Let me process the words in my head. Oh right! Today is Saturday, December 22. Happy Birthday to me! I'm turning seventeen.

"Cupcake, Take a shower. Cassy and Damien dropped off some clothes for you."

"Are you picking me up tonight?"

I asked remembering what he said.

"I'll be with you the whole day. Damien said that Conner will be there so I told him that the rest of us will come." He explained.

"Okay."

"Get up, my princess. I'll be bringing you somewhere tonight."

He said then walked to me and kissed my forehead. After he kissed my forehead, He stood infront of me, looking down at me, waiting for me to stand up. But his abs. They're distracting me.

"Like what ya see?" He asked, smiling at me and wriggling his eyebrows. I stood up and smacked his chest.

"Ow!" I took my clothes and went in the bathroom. I took a glance back and he wasn't there. What?

After dressing up, Ron wasn't there since I glanced back. Where is he? After standing and waiting for him to come out of nowhere, I felt two strong arms tickle me.

"Ron! STOP!" I said inbetween laughters.

"Ron-"

Wait. It's not Ron. It's CONNER!

"What are you doing here?! Where is he?!" He just laughed evilly. He pointed at Ron's closet. I opened the closet and Ron was there, dead in his pool of blood.

"RON!" Conner laughed. "You're mine now princess!" He said then laughed again.

"NO! NO! NO!"

"Emmie wake up."

I felt millions of tear drops roll down my cheek and run like a waterfall.

"Emmie Wake up! I'm here!"

I opened my eyes and everything was just a dream.

"Shhh. It was just a dream. I'm here."

Ron hugged me and I cried in his arms until I fall asleep again. The dream wasn't what I expected. This dream is trying to tell me about Conner. It's something not good. Maybe I should tell Ron what happened in our backyard, or should tell him what Conner and I talked about.

"Happy Birthday dear Emmie. Happy Birthday to you!"

Here I am in our dining room back at home, celebrating my 17th birthday. The guy I've been thinking about is not here. He said he's preparing something for me tonight. 3 more weeks before students go back to school. Maybe I should enjoy whatever is happening right now even though he is not here.

It's snowing a bit hard but this snow is the snow where everyone could still go out and just enjoy the cold weather. I can't stop smiling from what I am seeing right know. Mom and Dad are here and Damien and Cassy are just... the usual couple. They are here for my birthday. My parents are here even though their work (business man and architect) are not yet finish. Damien and Cassy are here even though they have to study for a test. Damien said, base on what he's experiencing right now, college is not like highschool or middle school.
