We pack up our things and load up the moving truck. "I can't believe you guys are fine with being trapped there forever." I say and they just look at me. "Addie, quit worrying and get into the car." Jacob says and I do.

Today's terrible.
I just got out of the hospital from a terrible nightmare. I was there for over a week, stuck in my sleep. I had this horrible nightmare. We moved to Lancaster, Pennsylvania and dad died. Then the dream kept relapsing, but we were at the house in Lancaster already and a different person died each time. I had to get out of the dream before it was finally me. And now (in reality), we're on our way to Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
- Addie.
I shut the notebook and fall asleep, part of me wishing I would've never escaped.

We get to Pennsylvania a couple minutes after I wake up from a nap that didn't seem that long, and we pull into the driveway of a house that haunts me in my dreams, quite literally. "I can't believe we're really doing this." I say, staring at the house. I go to the moving truck and get out my boxes and start carrying them to the house, one by one. Oliver shows up. "What the hell are you doing here?!" He says to me as I unpack my boxes. The house isn't as disgusting as I dreamed it would be. It's a heck of a lot nicer.
"My family already bought the house and never told me about it because I was in the hospital." I reply, not wanting to make eye contact. I feel like he would kill my soul if I looked him in the eye. "We're really living here, and if we die here, then we'll still be together." I simply say, acting like it's not a big deal. "You don't know what can happen while you guys live here. The way you look when you die is how you'll look forever here." He snaps at me.
I finally look him in the eye and it's painful. "Oliver, I don't care. It'll be okay, chill out." I continue to unpack things and I hear someone coming to my room. Oliver disappears and dad comes in with my dresser and Jacob with my bed. "Thanks guys." I say. "Who were you talking to?" Dad asks when Jacob leaves. I give him a confused look. "What do you mean dad? I wasn't talking to anyone." I say, lying. They know about Oliver in my dream, but I don't want them to know about him personally. "I was singing to my favorite song, you might have heard that." I say, and he nods, convinced.
"I'll bring the paint samples up if you want to look at them." He says and I nod. He leaves to go back downstairs and Oliver appears again. "Addie, I'm sorry I was yelling at you. I just...I care about you a lot and I don't want to see you get hurt." He says nervously. How cute. "Hey, look at me." I say and he does. "No matter what happens to me, hurt or not hurt, I'll still be the same Addie and I'll still be here." He smiles at me and kisses my forehead. "Thanks, Adrienne." He disappears and dad comes back into my room with the paint cards.
