I wake up with a puddle of blood surrounding me. Not small but not huge, it looks like a lot. I hear crying in the distance. I get up to see where it's coming from and I notice it's Noelle, Catie, Adrian, and Ben. I walk over, quietly and slow, I don't want to startle my friends. I then become more open as I start to walk around everyone.

Adrian finally looks up to find me walking around the circle they formed. He points in disbelief. Noelle is the first to look at me. We lock eyes, I would give her a hug but my back is covered in blood.

"This isn't real... There's no way it is." Noelle mutters.

"How do we find out I'm not a figment of our imagination? We already have. I'm talking and all of you see me." I say in a reassuring voice.

Noelle taps Catie. Catie looks up slowly, like she was in a haze.

"Daley's alive?!" Catie questions immediatley.

"No, he's just a figment of your imagination," Adrian says sarcastically. "He didn't get up from over there and walk around us."

"Let me go clean off. I'll be back soon. Have fun."  I try to make it sound fun, but the tension in my voice doesn't come close to fun.
