Dreams [nathan sykes fanfic]

prologue

natalie's point of view-

"babeee, are we there yet?" I whined.

"nooo, we're not," he whined back mimicking my voice.

I huffed and rolled my eyes while giving him my pouty face as I crossed my arms. I really hate surprises and he knew that. and I don't see the point of telling someone it's a surprise if you know they'll bug you about it. especially with me.

he noticed my reaction and let go of the wheel with one hand while driving with the other. he used his other hand to grab mine to calm me down. I was really anxious, and every time i am, he would always hold my hand to make me feel better. I don't know why or I don't know how he knew, it just happened.

he cooed, "aww, we'll get there soon. I promise." he gave me a reassuring smile and then turned back to the road.

"sure," I sighed.

I let go of his hand because I didn't want him to have to drive with one hand while holding mine with the other. it might cause an accident, considering the fact that he's not the best driver.

I turned to face the window as I stared out into the dark and starry night. it was beautiful outside. I've always preferred night rather than day. at night, it would be much more calmer and peaceful. not to mention, the sunset is always admiring.

I felt something fall into my lap as my head shot down to see what it was. it was the necklace he got for me for my birthday last year. it was actually a sliver pendant that had 'forever' carved in with gold letterings. what was it doing in my lap? shouldn't it be on my neck? I picked it up and examined it. I saw that the chain broke. I looked over at him to see if he saw any of this, but he didn't, so I just sat quiet.

"hey babe?" he asked interrupting my thoughts.

"yes?"

"are you okay? you've been acting strange lately," he said. suddenly the car stopped, but I didn't really care to notice.

strange? how? i hope I'm not acting strange with him. or maybe it's because of my surprise I was planning for him. since his birthday is just a month away, i wanted to do something for him. and since I was planning it, I've been busy for the past week. he probably thinks I'm hiding something from him.

"yeah, I'm fine. why?" I tried to act really confused since I've got an idea on what's going on.

"it's because.." he trailed off.

"because?" I repeated.

"because you've been acting weird around me lately," he babbled, "I mean, just last week I've been trying to hang out with you or at least talk with you but you always say you're busy. and to be honest, I don't think you are," he paused for a moment, "and I bet the only reason why you're going with me on this date is because it's our anniversary,"

I was correct! I should be a psychic. just kidding.

I've notice there was a bit of pain in his green eyes. I had to admit, I did feel a bit guilty. especially when his emotions took over his eyes. his eyes are the key to how I would feel towards him. that's basically how I noticed him for the first time. plus on how handsome he is. not to mention, everything else about him.

I was about to respond, but I've noticed a change in his eyes. they weren't pain anymore, they looked more like fear. his eyes were widened staring at something behind me.

"babe?" I asked worriedly.

he sat there frozen, not responding.

I heard this loud honk and could already see the light from behind me with my peripheral vision. I quickly spun around to see two headlights speeding towards my direction. I sat there paralyzed staring at the vision as to what to do. but it was too late.

last thing I saw were those headlights. and everything else, was black.
