I'm sitting on a white, fluffy cloud, when I hear a voice I'd thought if never hear again.
"How could you?" Luca asks me. He is standing on a different cloud "I love you and you love someone else?"
Now, I stand up "No! I-"
"Was it that easy to move on?" His usual electric blue eyes look cold and sad.
I hop from my cloud to his "Luca I loved–love you! You left, You weren't with me. What was I supposed to do? I tried not to fall in love, I'm sorry" I say with my voice cracking
He pushes his dark hair out of his face and lets out a small laugh. I wipe my tears and slightly tilt my head.
"What's so funny?"
"I was just teasing you. I don't mind if you moved on" he says softly and wraps his arms around me "I don't want to hold you back from falling in love again okay? When I was still I alive I loved you and I know you loved me, but now I'm not with you and I can't control your feelings. It will be hard to see another guy hold you, to see him love you, but whatever makes you happy makes me happy"
I hold him tighter "I will always love you" i say in a whisper "I'll see you soon"
"No...don't say that. You will not see me soon. You'll meet me up here again, but in a very long time okay?"
"Okay" I promise
He releases "Now go back to living your life...bye kid" he kisses my forehead
Now that I've seen Luca's beautiful face again, I don't want to leave him, but all of a sudden his face starts to get blurry "No, Please don't go!"
"I love you"
"Please Luca! I want to stay with you" I beg but it's too late, his face has already disappeared.

"Cole" I whisper and shake his shoulder softly "wake up"
He moves onto his side and quietly groans. He yawns and blinks his eyes a few times.
He tiredly smiles at me "hey"
"Hi" I blush "I just had a very important dream"
"Do you want to tell me about it?" He offers
"No, but I need to show you something" I say, turn on my light, and then walk to my dresser "it's my drawing book"
He doesn't say anything so that I can talk.
I flip through countless pages of doodles and meaningful drawings, and then a get to a page in particular that I—for some reason—feel the need to show him at midnight.
"This is a picture that I drew last year" I say and hand him my journal.
The drawing is a guy hugging a sad girl and kissing her head.
"This is amazing. I that supposed to be—"
"—Luca and I?" I finish for him and take a deep breath "yeah"
I notice that Cole is studying the drawing very carefully.
"I guess I just wanted to show you this and thank you" I say and close my drawing book
"For what?" He asks and lays back down as I put my book back on my dresser. I turn off the lights as well.
"I drew this picture because even in my worst days Luca was always there to hold me and make me feel safe in his arms. Cole, you have been here for me since the first day we met...thank you" I say and rest my forehead against his.
"I'll try my best to always be there for you" he whispers and holds my hand "goodnight"
"Night"
