I'm walking down the street with Alex and Tate. Me and Tate are both messing around when he runs in the road and a car hits him dead on. I scream and run to him. Now it's like everything is in slow motion. He looks up at me but his eyes are blank.

He's gone.

I wake up suddenly with a scream. I feel sweat running down my face as I cry. I'm sitting in darkness and it's completely silent until I hear Tate's voice next to me.

"Charlie it's okay. I've got you." he says holding me close to him. I realize where I am and that it was all just a dream. I calm down a little but I still sit there shaking as I hold Tate's arm around me.

"Shh love I'm here. It was only a nightmare." he said softly as I take a deep breathe and get my breathing back to normal.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why I was freaking out." I stated. I knew exactly why I freaked out. I watched the person I love die right in front of me, just like situation when I almost did loose him. He didn't say anything as he ran his finger through my hair and laying back down with me. I faced him so I could look at him as we sat in the dark with only the moon lighting up the room a tiny bit. I placed my hand on his face, wanting to look at him forever.

"What happened that got you so startled?" he asked me. I didn't want to answer his question but knew if I lied he would see right through it.

"The day of your accident. I was reliving it but instead of you being fine you... I lost you Tate, I can't loose you Tate." I said getting upset again.

"Okay, don't worry I'm not going anywhere." he said pulling me closer to him. I look deep breaths and calmed down. I felt as tired as I was when I originally went to sleep and slowly drifted off again knowing I had him in my arms and that he was safe.

My eye open and I'm looking up at my bedroom ceiling. Tate had stayed at my place last night since my mum and dad went to go see my grandma and grandpa. I go to hug him, but he's not next to me. I sat up decided to go into the kitchen and found him sitting at the table eating a bowl of cereal.

"Good morning my handsome boyfriend." I said as I walk over to him and wrap my arms around him. He turned to me and smiled at me.

"Good morning my sexy girlfriend." he said grabbing my hips and placing me on his lap while I face him. I laugh as he smirks at me.

"I believe these shorts are way too short." he said grabbing my ass.

"Well what are going to about it?" I said running my fingers down his toned chest. With that he stands up with me in his arms and carry me into the living room and sit down on the couch in the same position we were before. I was grinding on him and leaving small kisses on his neck down to his collar bone.

"Whoa you two are actually gonna do it on Charlotte's couch?" I heard a voice behind us say. I jump off Tate and turn to see Alex standing there with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

"Damn it Alex can't you knock?" I asked him as I rolled my eyes at him.

"Well I didn't think you guys would be fucking on the couch, at least try and make it to the bedroom." he stated.

"Oh please I didn't see you trying to make it to the bedroom." I responded.

"Yeah... wait what?" Tate said finally realizing what I meant. I just laughed at him as I got off the couch and walking into the bathroom to make sure I wasn't a complete wreck, even if neither of them really cared. I walked out and both the boys stood in kitchen looking at some piece of paper.

"What are you two dorks looking at now?" I said, but when I looked at there facial expressions Alex looked shocked and Tate looked pissed.

"Okay now I'm seriously curious at what it is now" I said not really understand what would make Tate look so angry.

"Congratulations Charlie." Tate said before stomping out of the room and through my front me door , slamming it shut. I was taken back at what had just happened.

"What the fuck just happened. What did I do?" I asked Alex, hoping he had answers.

"You made it into Juilliard" Alex said handing me the paper. I took it from his hand and read the text below.

Congratulations Ms. Hemmings, you have been excepted into Juilliard on full scholarship. After looking over your school records and application at great length we are happy to have you in our school at our location in New York. You're grades have been amazing and we can't wait to see you once you graduate.

I stood there in shock for a second then a smile appeared on my face and I jumped up and down.

"I made it into Juilliard! Oh my god and on a scholarship!" I said singing around and excitement taking over, but Alex just stood there itching the back of his neck.

"Why aren't jumping up and down? I made it into one of the best music schools." I said stopping jumping to ask him.

"I am happy for you princess it's just that it's all the way in New York." he said. I looked down at the paper and it definitely says that's it's located in New York.

"Well that's okay I can call you all the time and we still will have the summer together right?" I said trying to make him feel better.

"I mean yeah I'm gonna miss you like hell but I think you forgot that you have a boyfriend named Tate that lives here in Sydney." he stated. Then it hit me suddenly why Tate was really pissed.

"Alex I fucked up. Tate has no idea I even applied. I was gonna tell him but I just never did. Never did I think I would make it in anyway." I explained.

"You're right you did fuck up." he said.
