Jakes POV
"NO! GET AWAY FROM ME! STAY AWAY! HELP! HELP ME!" A voice that I recognize as Alex's screams at the top of her lungs causing both me and Ansley to run into her room. I sigh in relief when I see that she's dreaming.

"What do we do?" I ask Ansley and she goes to wake her up but I stop her. "What are you doing?! You can't wake a person that's in that state! Have you learned nothing in our dream analysis class?"

"STAY AWAY!!!!!" She screams louder. Ansley grabs her arm causing me to freak out "what the hell are you doing?!" I whisper shout

"Trust me!" She whispers back. "Alex, I am in the dream with you. You are not alone. What is happening?"

"Bodies! Bodies everywhere! It wasn't my fault! LEAVE ME ALONE!" She's screaming like she's being possessed, clearly she's petrified.

"Alex, I'm going to need you to wake up now and it'll all be over okay? Just open your eyes" Ansley snaps and Alex gasps for air.

"Are you okay?" I ask and she looks at me normally.

"Yeah I'm fine. Why?" Did she just ask why? And was having a flipping nightmare that's why!

"You were-"

"Sleeping and you woke me up. Thanks" she says sarcastically. I look at Ansley to see that she's got the same expression on her face that I have.

"You mean you don't remember anything?" Ansley asks worriedly and Alex shakes her head.
Alex's POV
I lied. I know exactly what I dreamt about, I would just rather not talk about it. It is haunting me and I can't escape it. Nothing can help me escape from what I have done.

"I'm sorry that I woke you guys, we should just go back to sleep"

"Do you want me to stay?" Jake asks and I shake my head as a response. They both walk out lacing me with my thoughts.

"Do you think she's going to tell them?"

"My money is on no" I look up and see Josh, Carson and Max.

"This isn't real, how are you here... You guys are d-dead" I stutter. My stomach turns and my chest tightens causing me to feel like I am having a panic attack. You are dreaming Alex. They are not there.

"Yes we are but I guess you could say that we are ghosts-"

"Don't scare her max! Alex you can only see us because of your conscience. You need to stop feeling guilty-"

"I can't Carson. It's all my fault. It's all my fault. It's all my fault" I repeat over and over again while rocking back and fourth. I think I am going crazy.
