One Chance

Chapter 16 - Dream? Or Reality?

Megan's POV

Where am I? I started to look around, getting used to my surroundings. Am I, in my room? How? "Megan, its time to get up you have school remember." My mom said. My.. Mom? I shot out of bed. W-what? How is this possible? I'm dreaming. That's it. But.... But why? I was with Mark. Sean! Maybe he'll know! I quickly got dressed, and headed down stairs. It's weird to be in this house. I froze. There was a male figure in the kitchen. He stood tall, about 6 foot, looks like he's in a suit. He's not my dad however, which was relieving. "Megan, you got dressed quick, you remember David don't you?" My mom said. David? Who the hell is that? He turned around, but i didn't recognize him. "I'm sorry, I don't..." I said confused. "It's fine, I'm sure you don't remember me, I know your mom through.. Umm." He stopped. I could see my mom shaking her head. "Mom, where's dad?" I asked. I never thought I'd say that again. It started to bring tears to my eyes. "Baby, you know he got into the car accident. I just hope your not beating yourself up." My mom said rubbing my arm. Beating myself up? "Your going to be late, get to school sweetie." She said handing me my back pack.
I started to walk to school. It started to rain again. Again? It's like, déjà vu... I walked all the way up to the gates. No bullies, no trouble.. No, Sean.. Where is he? I retraced steps from our first encounter. Not watching where I was walking I bumped into someone, causing me to fall. I looked up to see, Blake. W-why isn't he mad at me? Or looking for me, or bullying me? "I'm so sorry Megan! Here let me help." He insisted. "W-why are you helping me?" I asked. "Why? Because you fell, it's the right thing to do. After all, you are Jack's girlfriend." He said handing me my books. "J-jack? Where is he?" I asked. "He always waits for you by your locker. Say, are you okay?" He asked. I nodded, and thanked him as I headed to my "boyfriend". Who is Jack? Am I forgetting someon- Sean! How can I be so dumb?! I raced to my locker, and sure enough there he was. Waiting at my locker. "Sean. Do you know what's going on?" I asked was walking up to him. "Babe, you know I don't like to be called Sean. What do you mean?" He said. What's going on? Is this dream? or did I wake from a nightmare? "Babe, are you cheating on me?" He asked blatantly. "What? Why would you ask that?!" I said confused. He pointed to my sweater. It's his merch. The septic eye. "This is yours. What are you talking about?" "No," he shook his head. "It's not mine. Where did you get that?" He demanded. Well, that's not the right word but something like that... I can't believe this. "Jack, where do you work?" I asked. "You know I'm not working right now." He said giving me a concerned look. "What's wrong?" Sean said coming closer to me. "You won't believe me." I mumbled looking down. He won't. I don't know whats real. Which the dream and which the reality? "Megan look at me. I don't care if you sound crazy. I'm here." Sean told me. He took his hand under my chin and pulled me head up. His eyes were filled with concern. But I can't tell if their real. "I'll tell you after school. Meet me at the pizza place and I'll tell you." I said. The bell started to ring. We kissed, and he left for class. I can't stay here. I quickly ducked through the fence. I started running towards the plaza. Soon my phone started to ring. "Hello?" I answered. "Your not slick. I'm at the pizza place, let's talk." And hung up. Sounded like Sean. But... How did he know? I started to slow down, and walk. I turned the corner, but instantly went to hide. My mom. I could hear her talking about how she was worried about me. What's going on?! She went into her car, and I made a run for it. I walked inside the pizza place to see Sean sitting in a booth. I slid across from him. "I could tell yo weren't going to stay in school. What's going on? Do something happen last night?" He said, not looking at me. "I can't tell if this is a dream or if its reality. " I said looking down. My hands were on the table, as I was about to move them when Sean laid his hands on mine. "What do you mean?" He asked. I looked up, tears forming in my eyes. "Before I woke up we were in LA. I had just gotten out of the hospital, you had found me unconscious." I said. As I finished explaining I could tell he was truly paying attention to every word I had to say. It warmed my heart. "That does sound crazy." Sean laughed. "Yea, and I.... I don't." I couldn't finish. "Hey. Hey hey. Its okay. We'll get through this." Sean said. "I don't know if I'm in a coma, or asleep. I don't know what's going on." I said tears now rolling down my face.  "Hey Megan. Wake up. Please. Calm your breathing and wake up." I hear Sean say.

Everything goes black
