Fix Our Love [Sequel to Pretty Love]

Chapter 26- Is This A Dream?

I chuckled. "No. Anna is alive!"

They looked at me like I was crazy.

"I think you need some sleep, Patrick,"Julia said.

She walked up to me and tried to lead me to the couch. I got out of her grip.

"No! I'm not sleeping!"I told her.

"Patrick, you're talking crazy..."Pete said.

"I'm not! She's alive and I know it!"I tried to say.

I heard a frustrated sigh come from Julia.

"Patrick, you saw her! She can't be! And the doctors said she was gone...completely. I miss her too, but I know she's gone...Pete knows..."Julia said.

"LOOK, I KNOW IT SOUNDS STUPID, BUT SHE IS ALIVE! I JUST TALKED TO HER ON THE PHONE!"

Pete came up to me. "Dude, get some sleep."

"STOP TELLING ME TO GO TO BED! IM NOT! SHES ALIVE AND I KNOW IT!"

I picked up my phone and showed them the number where I heard Anna's voice.

"That was the number...I heard her voice. I talked to her! I'm not making it up! I wasn't dreaming!"I said.

I saw their faces. They were not believing me. I don't blame them. You don't see or hear this sort of stuff at all. No one rises from the dead, except Jesus. But Anna did! And I want them to know. They stared at me with strange looks, like I was talking gibberish to them. I was frustrated with them. They weren't going to be believe me. But the only way was to go to the hospital.

"Fine...don't believe me!"

I grabbed my fedora and glasses and hobbled out the door. I didn't have my crutches anymore, just a cast sort of thing around my foot. I tried to walk.

"Patrick!"I heard Pete yell.

I ran out my house the best I could with my leg slowly healing, my keys in my sweatpants' pocket, and my converses untied. I was in a rush. I wanted to see my baby girl. She didn't care if I looked bad. She loved me no matter how I looked. I jumped in my car. I haven't driven my other car since my leg was broken, plus I was too devastated about Anna.

I saw Julia and Pete run after me.

"Patrick! What the heck are you doing?"Julia asked.

I turned on the engine to my car. I felt the sudden cold fall air from outside leave my car once the hot air conditioning came on. Julia opened the passenger seat door.

"Patrick! Didn't you hear me? What the heck are you doing?"She asked.

"I told you! Anna is alive. And I'm going to see her!"I told her.

"Y-you were serious about that?"she said.

I nodded. "I'm always serious about my Anna..."

She jumped in and sat in the passenger seat. Pete opened the backdoor.

"What are you two doing?"I asked.
