Only a Dream

Chapter 12

Taylor's Pov
When we got to Mikey's house I instantly became very nervous.
"Mikey, what if they don't like me" I said biting my lip.
"Relax princess. Their going to love you, just like I do." He kissed me to try and calm me down.
I took a deep breath and got out of the car. Mikey walked to my side and held my hand as we walked to the door.
"I love you." He kissed my forehead before opening the door. His family was waiting for us right in front of the door.
"Mikey!! We missed you" he was smothered by hugs and I must say it was pretty adorable how he was with his family.
" Taylor! Welcome to the family sweetheart, it's nice to finally meet you!" His mom gave me a huge hug, and I went to shake his dads hand but instead he hugged me too.
"It's nice to meet you guys!" I couldn't stop smiling since I walked through the door.
Mikey's sister was standing sort of behind his parents which made me a little nervous. I remember Mikey making a video talking about how his sister is hard to impress and that he's worried his sister won't like the girl he's dating. She finally stepped forward, scaring me a little.
"Okay, so he wasn't wrong. Holy crap your gorgeous! He literally doesn't shut up about you. Even when we're texting! He's all like, 'you won't believe what Taylor did today, it was so cute!!'" She was totally mocking him and it was hilarious. I looked over at Mikey and he was blushing slightly. I looked back at Sydney and gave her a fist bump.
"Looks like you've got double trouble coming your way babe." Sydney laughed and Mikey laughed nervously.
"I can already tell I'm gonna like you a lot." We both gave devious smirks to Mikey and we could tell he was definitely intimidated.
The rest of the night went how any normal dinner would go with a desk. Frankly it was kinda like a scene out of a movie, which worried me a bit. Nothing was ever this perfect unless it was one of my dreams. I tried to push off the thought for a little bit, and even though the thought was still at the back of my mind I still had fun with his family.
~~~
Later that night everyone was tired so we said goodnight to his family, and Mikey and I found our way up to his room. It was a bit weird being in his room.
"I've only ever seen this part of your room" I said pointing to where he usually films his videos.
"It's funny, I thought the same thing when I saw your room."
I started looking around, picking up little things and carefully looking at things. I was admiring all the little things and learning new things about my boyfriend as I went along. He came up behind me, grabbing my waist and kissing my neck, but not in a sexual way.
"What do you think?"
I turned around to face him, "Its too perfect... This is all too perfect. I'm not dreaming am I?" My voice was barely at a whisper at the end of my sentence.
"Baby, your not dreaming. My family just really likes you. And I really love you."
I had started crying, "You don't understand. I love you too, and tonight was so much fun, it was almost like a movie scene. Too perfect. Every time things are going this good, I wake up. Mikey, I don't want to wake up."
"You don't ever have to wake up, lets dream together, forever."
"Promise you won't turn this into a nightmare?" My voice was fragile, almost as if I were to talk any louder I would break.
"I promise I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. I love you princess."
"I love you Mikey."
He brought his hand to my cheek, his other resting on my hip and gently brought his lips to mine. He deepened the kiss and pulled me closer with the had on my hip, causing butterflies to erupt in my stomach. He smiled into the kiss, "God I love you so much."
I let out a small giggle, his words causing me to blush. I hid my face in his chest and he hugged me tightly. I snuggled my head into his neck and enjoyed this moment we were having together. Mikey was my sole mate, in this moment I had no doubt about that.
"Can I just say you smell amazing." He pulled away from the hug, slightly confused by my sudden change in subject. "What? I thought I'd let you know."
He laughed slightly. "Go get changed you dork." I went into his bathroom to get changed into my pajamas.
When I came back he was in a pair of sweats and he had taken off his shirt.
"Babe will you do something for me?" I hesitated slightly.
"Yes?"
"Will you wear my shirt to bed? I wanna see how cute you look." I laughed at how dorky and awkward he was, it was absolutely adorable.
"Yes, I'll wear your shirt. But don't be surprised when you don't get it back." He got a huge smile on his face. He handed me a oversized crew neck sweater. Well it was oversized on me, it completely covered the shorts I was wearing.
"I look like I'm not wearing pants!"
"Maybe that's not such a bad thing." I made a gasping noise and his him on the chest.
"Mikey!"
He just put his arms up in surrender and laughed. We got in bed and I cuddled into him. He broke the comfortable silence between us, "Sweet pea." He stated
This time it was my turn to be confused. "What?"
"You said that I smelled good, and so do you," he laughed a little then continued, "You always smell like sweet pea."
I laughed, "Oh, thanks."
"You're welcome princess, I love you." He kissed my forehead.
"I love you too babe."

Mikey and I were driving back to my place to spend the rest of the week with my parents. We were jamming out to the music, singing as loud as we could and having a great time. He kept looking at me while we were singing, every time I would smile. He put his hand on mine, and dramatically sang me a love song.
"You're such a dork." I teased him playfully.
"You live it though." He smirked.
"Yes I do!" He kissed my hand, "I love you too princess."
That was the last thing I heard before the big crash. Everything went white for a few seconds, and then an excruciating pain filled my head.
"Mikey?" I called out with little breath in my lungs.
Finally my vision came back to me and I saw the scene in front of me, a car had swerved, broke through the barrier and hit us straight on, the driver in the car was dead. I looked over to see Mikey very still, barely breathing with blood all over him.
"Oh my god! No, no, no. This can't be happening. Babe wake up." I tried to move to touch him, find my phone, something to help him. As soon as I moved a sharp pain hit me in the side, I had a huge shard of glass in my side and I was bleeding. A lot.
"Mikey baby it going to be okay, I'm gonna get us some help."
He took a slow breath and very slowly grabbed my hand with the last ounce of strength he had, "I love you Taylor."
" No. Mikey no, stay with me baby." There were tears streaming down my face, uncontrollably.
I frantically searched for the phone to call an ambulance. What seemed like an eternity later they finally arrived, I explained what I remembered from the impact.
"Taylor, we really hate to inform you of this but your boyfriend Mikey is dead."
Dead?
At that moment it was like my entire world came crashing down around me.
~~~
I woke up balling my eyes out. "It was all my fault. Oh my god, it was all my fault."
I looked around realizing where I was. I wasn't in a car, I was in Mikey's bedroom. I looked beside me and Mikey had just woken up.
"Taylor, baby what's wrong"? He sat up and I quickly clung myself to his chest.
"I thought you were dead. Everything was fine and then the car hit us, and I had a giant shard of glass in my side. And... and you- you were dead." I cried onto his bare chest.
He ran his fingers through my hair and hugged me tightly to try and calm me down.
"Shhh, sh. Its okay darling, it was just a dream. Baby I'm right here."
I got out of his grasp and pulled away from his hug. I grabbed his face in my hands.
"I thought I lost you. I love you so much Mikey."
"I love you too princess, go back to sleep, everything is going to be okay. I'm right here."
"No. I can't go back to sleep, I don't want to have another nightmare. It felt too real."
"Okay, how about we go watch a movie or something? I'll stay up with you until you fall back asleep."
"Thank you Mikey."
We stayed up for a little while longer in the living room watching Mean Girls. Eventually I drifted off, right before I fell asleep I felt Mikey kiss my forehead.
"I love you."
