Sam sat with me for a while until josh texted him to come over.

I smiled and waved goodbye as I walked back inside the house to the vat of cold air that awaited me.

I sighed and walked into our living room.. Most of it was unpacked thanks to my mom but boxes still littered the dining room, kitchen and many bedrooms. I laid down on the couch and fell asleep

** “so are you going to be ready to live with me?” Jon appeared in front of me and I scowled.

“ never ever, ever”.

“ defiant. You know I like that.” he reached over and caressed my cheek gently and I smacked his hand away.

“ don’t be like that.”

“ I can and I will.” I crossed my arms and stared at him.

“ see something you like.” he smirked

“nope. Just some jerk who keeps annoying me.”

His face twisted into a frown and I saw something I couldn’t recognize flash through his eyes.

” you’re going to have to get used to it because there’s no way for you to get out of this.” his voice was hard and I tried not to cringe. That’s how my father used to yell at me.

“bet me.” I said harshening my voice.

“ you have no idea what you’re fighting Elizabeth. Stop.”

“ I’ll never stop Jon. Never. I’m doing what I believe in.”

“ I’m coming to you. Tomorrows the day you move with me. Start packing.” he seemed to deteriorate away like sand in the wind and then blackness came and I heard him whisper. “you can’t escape. We need each other.”**

I popped up off the couch and looked around. I was still alone.

I rubbed my head. I didn’t think Jon was able to get into my dreams anymore but I guess I was wrong. I got up and headed toward the phone. I had to see if I really was leaving tomorrow, but I had to be calm about it.

I quickly punched in my mom’s cell phone number and she picked up on the second ring.

“ hello?” she asked sweetly

“ why didn’t you tell me I was leaving TOMORROW!” I yelled. So much so being calm…

“ I was going to tell you when I got home.” she said calmly.

“ yeah so but it’s my life and I deserve to know when the hell you’re gunna shift me off to some jerk’s residency ‘ I started playing with my hair out of frustration as I waited for what she would say next.
