Whirlwind

Dreams - Chapter 6

How many times have I been over these dreams, I'm in the lake water swimming playing around. I'm waiting for someone to swim to me but who? My head feels heavy. I can't breathe. I realise that I'm drowning I can't get to the surface. I breathe in a large amount of water. I can hear my heart beat slow and steady, but it's slowing down... Oh this is what it feels like to die. It feels somewhat peaceful I don't know how but I know I've had a full life and I'm ready to go. I just don't want to leave... To leave... Him. I don't know his name I only know that I love him and I know that he likes me back. I can't see well it's gotten darker and deeper in the water all I see is darkness surrounding me. This has happened many times before, I know it I've had many deaths before this I always drown. The dreams all start and end the same way. I'm at or near the water and I end up drowning.

I wake up all sticky, the blankets have clung to my skin. Sweat beads are all over my face and chest. I get up to have a shower, dreading the day that's about to happen. The shower helps a lot I can feel the cold of the lake still on my hands.

I've been having those dreams since I turned 16. Great isn't it falling asleep for a whole year wondering if it's going to be the night I have another one of those dreams? There always slightly different my age, height, location and time period. I saw one once that looked like it was set in the 1940's during the Second World War. 

I was swimming away from the bombs, but the debris from one of the explosions hit me in the head and I lost consciousness as I slowly drowned to death. I never understood why I had these dreams. But I know one thing drowning is definitely my worst fear now. I spent the whole week afterwards researching about WWII which didn't help much in the end but it did help because I had a test about it a few weeks later.

Another dream looked only 32 years older due to the signs I saw around the around. I was walking around with people my age, I looked around the age of 12 which so far was the second youngest. The first youngest girl was 9 the poor girl didn't even notice when someone unknown came behind her and pushed her off the cliff side into the water. There were 5 others with me we were walking away from the fair so I assumed we just left, it was getting quite dark.

"We should go to the beach." One of the guys said all the others joining in saying yes, totally or lets go.

I followed as we went it was a cold night the wind blowing a freezing breeze in my bare face. Everyone started stripping and jumped in the water splashing around. I saw a shadow out of the corner of my eye.

"You know it's dangerous out here at night kid"

I looked up and saw the most beautiful person I've ever seen... The face is familiar now that I remember... he had amazing features, I stepped back now because if I had learned anything from all adults was stranger danger. I ran for the water trying to get someone's attention, but no one noticed I turned and saw the boy running towards me, then at that moment I felt a person pull me into the water head first.

When I looked up the person would just push harder down. I went through all the same stuff again, breathing, heart beats. On my last breath I was pulled out by the beautiful boy. He stared at me with sorrow like he just lost the reason for living, "I'm sorry Silvia, I wasn't fast enough..." His voice faded out and I felt my body go limp. How did he know my name?

I grabbed breakfast and ate on the way to our meeting spot. Trying to forget the weirdness of my dreams. I made and brought her toast there but I don't know if she's going to actually show.

"Hey, do you have a sports class today?" I was so relieved when she showed I didn't realise what she said and I gave her a huge smile in return instead. "Here I knew you'd forget one you always do, stupid." She said giving me her black hair tie. I smiled finding it funny how I always forget, she smiled too and took the toast from me.

But I remembered what I told myself before. I need to get this conversation over fast like ripping of a band aid.

"So, um, what did you want to talk about?" Trying not to show how anxious I was about the next conversation.

"I need to ask you something, do you have a thing for Loo or do you hate him? Because if you do I'll step back, you know that right? I'd do anything for you Sil." She said it so fast I almost didn't hear what she said.

"What! No of course not. That's what you wanted to talk about."

"Why what did you think I wanted to talk about?"

I stopped," I just thought it was something important or urgent, not something about that guy." I was pleased with how I bounced back from that question. Mai went on and on about how she was going to ask out 'Mr Hunky' I nearly puked a bunch of times.

But I held on and listened she finished when we got to school and thanked me for understanding and listening. Which were probably the most far off comments compared with my real thoughts. And all I could think was why didn't he tell her?

"Come on we do have to go to class sometime Sil." I was so lost I didn't hear the bell. I said bye and ran off to my English class.

So... Is anyone following this cause I can't tell anymore. I hope you are sorry if the last one was kind of dry I'll admit I kept falling asleep. Sorry. Anyway more characters hopefully will be added. I don't know if anyone has any comments you all know what to do. Bye :D
