Chapter 10: It was just a dream that was reality

"Hey mom I don't feel very good can I stay home with you today?" I asked when I was a little girl

"Sure honey but I want you to go in your room me and your father have some thing to discuss" she said as my dad walked into the kitchen

"Yes mom love you daddy." I said as I went to give my father a hug

I ran upstairs and started playing with my dolls. Just then I heard a loud bang like a gun shot then I heard another one. I got curious so I went to go check what the noise was. I got down stairs and saw my mom laying on the floor with a dark puddle of something by her and I see my dad the same way as my mom except he was on the white carpet. My neighbors heard the noise and came rushing into my house. They saw me standing there just then the cops showed up. I didn't know what happened. The cops told me that they got shot and they were dead and that they called my gramma and she was going to be there soon. She got there and she cried for hours. While I was hugging her telling her it was ok. They told me I was going to stay with my grandma. I told them I wanted my parents back and then I realized they weren't coming back.

"Jessica Jessica Jessica" I heard a woman calling my name.

That's when I woke up.

"Jessica are you okay."I saw Jackie " you were screaming your parents name and crying I was just wondering if you are okay?" She looked at me with concern

"Yah I'm fine. Sorry if I woke you just had a dream of the day my parents passed." I said quiet to make sure not to wake anyone else.

And that dream was reality. It was really what happened when my parents got shot.

"Oh it's okay I was just watching a movie." She said walking out of my room.

I laid down on my bed and grabbed my phone and started to listen to MAYDAY PARADE. Just then Jackson walked into my room and sat on the edge of my bed.

"Hey are you okay I just heard you scream some people's names and just wanted to ask if you were okay." He said

"Yah just had a dream slash flashback of my parents death." I said almost bursting into tears.

He hugged me and that's when I bursted. I cried uncontrollably and Jackson just sat there rocking back and forth. Until I finally let the darkness consume me.

I woke up and Jackson wasn't there. I got out of bed and put on a tank top and shorts and went down stairs.

"Hey Jackie I'm sorry about what happened last night." I said looking down.

"Oh honey it's fine I couldn't go to sleep anyways." She said shrugging it off

I ate breakfast and went back to my room I grabbed my lap top and started to catch up on some missing homework.

I got my math and part of my language done when Jackson walked in.

"Hey can I ask you something?"

"Sure what is it?" I said

"Well there's this girl." He said as he fiddled with his fingers

"Oh is the Bad Boy Jackson asking for advice on girls I thought you were better than that." I said joking around.

"Shut up Jess."just as he said that I started to tear up

"Get out Jackson!! Now!" I said yelling at him.

I pushed him out and sat by the door crying only my father, mother, and gramma called me that. Only special people can call me that. I got up and decided to try to go to sleep. I layed down for what felt like minuets but was hour listening to my music. When I heard the door open I pretended to be a sleep. When the person said something.

"I didn't know you had a tattoo" I recognized that voice as Jackson's

"Get out Jackson." I said with no expression.

"Look I came in her to say sorry I didn't realize you were going to get that mad. I'm sorry. And I also came in here to ask if you wanted to go out to lunch not as a date but as friends." He said

"Um...sure let me get ready." I said getting up

I got up and brushed my hair down and put on my favorite t shirt on it had a pic of my mom dad and gramma when my mom got married to my dad. With a pair of jeans and my converse.

I went down stairs and Jackson was sitting up to the island.

"Hey I'm ready." I said catching Jackson's attention

"Okay let's go then." He said getting the keys as I followed him out to his car.

"Where do you want to go." He asked me.

Let me tell you something if someone asks me where I want to go to eat I will choose.

"Let's go to Olive Garden." I said buckling up

The whole ride was silent except the radio. When we got there we ordered our food and sat there in silence. Until Jackson broke the silence with the one question that I hoped he wouldn't ask.
