Have a chocolaty day with a cherry on top:) 

 Sophie’s POV

“I can’t believe you can go anywhere you want to just by thinking of it.” I admired as he placed me down in my room. 

“You wish you had it.” He teased. I like this. I liked playful Christian.

“Whatever. I can fly.” I responded. 

He tuned serious. “Sophie, we need to talk about your dream okay?” I knew he was going to bring this up again. I didn’t want to talk about it but what was I supposed to do. I nodded. 

“Next time you have the dream I need you to pay attention to every single detail okay?” He was my hand in both of his. “I’ve been there but I only guide you. That is the light you saw. It was me.” That makes sense. It did remind me of him. “So I need you to tell me the name in the last tombstone. I need you to read the name and then tell me okay?” It was going to be me. It had to be. 

“Fine but you know it will be me. There is almost no point in...” I was cut off.

“Just please Sophie. Do this for me. I need to know.” He was afraid og losing me? Maybe.. just maybe he had grown to like me too. I know he came here to win me over but maybe now he likes me for me. I smiled. 

“I will. I promise.”

Christian’s POV

I don’t know what I would do it if really is her name in that last tombstone. She couldn’t leave me. Not know. Not while we were just starting to get along. We just kissed for fuck’s sake. Fate could not possibly be this mean to me. To both of us. 

I stood up and released Sophie’s hand. “Goodnight then. We have a long night ahead of us.” Please let it not be her. Please let it not be her. 

“I’m going to have the vision today too?” She asked surprised. 

“Yes,” It was going to be a nightmare from now on. I’ve been there, done that and believe me when I tell you it sucks. I don’t want her to go through that but what could I possibly do without trying to manipulate her feelings... Nothing. “You will have them every night until it either becomes a reality or changes.” She was horrified. “That is how we will know if we are moving away from it or towards it.” I leaned in and kissed her forehead. “Everything is going to be okay Sophie. We still have a couple of months. We will do this.” I hope we can do this. I can’t loose her too. I can’t loose my new family too. 

“Thank you. Goodnight Christian.” She didn’t look at me. I understood she wanted some time for herself and so I left. I needed to sleep too. This had been a rough day. 

Sophie’s POV

He left just like that after telling me that I would be tormented by these visions every night. EVERY NIGHT! I don’t want to do this. I needed to calm down. I needed a shower. 

After a very hot and needed shower I put my favorite and comfiest pajamas on and lay on my bed. I will have to say I felt like I was going to fall asleep in the cloud. I felt like I could fly. Wait.. I can fly. I smiled at myself. I had to try that sometime. I will sleep in the clouds some day. 

As I laid in bed I was afraid to go to sleep. What if it was me? What if I was going to be dead by winter? I looked over at my bedside table to see the time. It was two in the morning. We had spent the whole day walking around Pittsburgh and then he brought us back here. I can’t believe it took us this long. It all happened so fast. Well thank god tomorrow there is no school. I would have had to call in sick. Slowly I drifted...

It was dark outside and the snow in the floor was starting to get higher and higher. This had been the worst snow storm in a while. Wait. It doesn’t snow in California. Where was I? I started walking but everything was dark. I couldn’t see anything. Running towards nothing something caught my eye. A flash. A light. A blue light. Christian was here too! Good. I started running again but as I got closer the light would go off and move and start blinking again. 

Finally the light was staring at me right in the face. It was really bright. Bright blue... deep blue. Ocean blue. Okay this was the place.  

I looked around and realized I was here. My Papo’s grave again. I took a deep breath and started reading the tomb stones out load. 

“Beloved Father, Husband, and Grandfather. John Simmons 1935-2002” I love you Papo.

“Beloved Mother and Wife. Sarah Burns. 1969-2013” I hated this.I had to stop this. this could not happen. Please. Please. Tears started pooling in my eyes as I moved on for the next one:

“Loving Father and Husband. Luke Burns. 1967-2013” I took a deep breath, tears now falling down my cheeks. 

Come on Sophie you have to do this! Stand up and look at the third one. I was holding my heart in my chest. I couldn’t do this. I wanted to go back. 

Sophie please. You are already here. Just do it. I had to do it. 

I took those few steps towards the third and last tombstone and read the inscription:

“Greyson Burns, 1960-2013 ” I gasped and with that I was awake. 

Holy mother of god what just happened? Who is that person? Did I even read it right? At that same moment I heard my door swing open and Christian was standing in its place. 

“What was that all about?” he asked concerned moving closer to my bed. 

“I.. I don’t know.” How did this happen? I was here seeing visions of how my parents were going to die and I was also finding out that my father’s family, the one that is not supposed to have any other body power of his generation, has a bastard maybe they never told my father about. 

Oh lord. What have I gotten myself into? “I have no idea.” I was afraid to go back to sleep. 

Christian could see it because he came closer and caressed my face. “Everything will be okay Sophie. We will fix this.” How could he be so sure everything will be okay? I didn’t want to fight with him. I let it be and let my exhaustion take over me. 

After a few minutes I could tell he was leaving. “Christian?” I wanted him to stay so badly. I wanted him to make my nightmares go away. 

Christian’s POV

The way she said my name with such need. That did things to me. I could tell what she wanted from me but I needed her to say it. I needed her to ask me. “Yes?” I asked. 

I could feel her debating if to ask me or not. I wanted to stay so badly. To make her feel better. I wanted to help. “Stay with me?”
