THE BLACK PARADE.

Sleep

It's been 3 weeks since I woke from a dream.

I met a beautiful girl with jet black hair and calming brown eyes who wears the most alarming shade of red on her lips. I also dreamt about living for years without my parents and staying with my drunk uncle in our old house. I dreamt about the girl coming into my life like summertime in the middle of December. I was awake and afraid and about to stop living, but she sat, ever so gloriously under the glare of the sun. And our eyes met. And our lips crashed. And it was perfect.

The most perfect dream I've ever had.

But then there were these terrors. I could hear the sudden voices in my head, taunting, screeching, scraping through my mind with a blood curdling scream. Summertime was dead and gone and the voices said I had to move on.
Then I saw this tall, pale woman.
Black hair, chapped, faded lips and striking gray eyes just on me.
She was reaching out for me, stretching her bony arms to get me and I was near her grasp but she couldn't. She shouldn't. She stopped from reaching out and started to cry. They fell into the black, grassy ground and dissolved into blood. I felt a pang on my chest when she tried to reach for me again but the ground shook and suddenly she was caught in chains. Not just chains, but fiery, hot and it seared through her paper white skin and I felt the burning sensation on me as well, I screamed.
The woman heard me so she stopped crying and screamed in agonizing pain. Pain, anger, hate and love. Our hearts felt like beating as one. Loud thuds roaring from both our chests as if we were drums of similar set. Her voice cracked and the veins on her temples were showing, the chains then began to unlock and she tore it off from her skin.

"Gerard..." She said and led out a weak smile while looking right through me, speaking to me. I didn't know what to say. I don't know why but I shut my eyes close, tightly and waited for the tears to subside. I realized I had began crying.
Why?

"G-Gerard..."she spoke softly.
She sounded like a memory from a dream. Something that happened but neverwere. I tried to speak but it was as if my tongue was paralyzed. I tried to reach back but it felt like my hands were tied. I fought but the thing intertwining them grew tighter. The ground beneath us shook, tearing the land where we stood, apart. I saw a drop of blood slowly trailing down her cheeks as she screamed, causing lightning. The Lightning flashed and an enormous shadow formed behind her--wings.
As the lightning faded into the sound of thunder, all faded to black.

And I woke up.

I was sweating furiously and it was ice cold. The other boys jolted up awake at the sound of thunder coming from outside the hospital window.

"JESUS!"I heard Frank exclaimed.
Ray laughed at him, "do not use the name of the lord, your God, in vain." He reminded him, jokingly.
"Fuck you, Ray."he retorted and violently threw a pillow at his face.
I wanted to laugh at them, but I was still in shock from my dream. Ray seemed to notice that.
"Hey, you okay buddy?"he asked, his brows furrowing in concern.
I didn't know how to respond.
Am I okay? I don't even know myself. I mean, it's just a stupid dream, right? Like, I totally don't know the woman and it probably doesn't mean anything.

Although it felt like she was important but I don't know and that frustrates me because I hate not knowing and I am very much angry about my situation of having memory loss right now. I need a break.
"Gerard?"I heard Frank.
"What? Yes, uhuh. I'm okay. Like, totally."I said stupidly.
"No you moron. I just asked you if you wanna come with us. So?"
"Sorry, must've trailed off--"
"Obviously."
"Where though?"
"I don't know. Let's explore this shitty ass hospital."
"Alright."
