In My Dreams

Chapter 7: Spacing Out

Liam's POV

I said,"You will?"

She nodded. "Yes, I will."

I gasped. Oh, gosh... She'll stay, she'll stay!

Lately, after she told me she'll stay, I've been spacing out and thinking about her voice. I just can't get her out of my head.

My parents and friend have been suspicious about me lately, they've been questions from them like: "dude, you okay?", "you've been spacing a lot, you're so weird.", "what's up with you?"

My answers are always: "I'm fine.", "Nothing.", "Shut up."

I'm becoming arrogant every time someone will be disturbing my 'spacing out'. Mom has been very worried a lot lately about me not paying attention.

I got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to take a bath. After taking a bath, I dressed up and went downstairs.

I went to the dining room and saw foods on the dining table. Eggs,hotdogs, ham, and bacon. I sat down next to Lea, my 8 year old sister.

"Good morning, Liam," mom greeted.

"Good morning, son," dad said.

I smiled. "Good morning."

"So, are you going out with your friends today?" dad asked.

I nodded. "Yep. My friends and I are going to hang out at Starbucks."

Dad nodded. "How 'bout you, Lea?"

"Dad, can I go to Myra's house today?" Lea asked.

Dad and mom looked at each other, obviously having an eye to eye conversation, whether to let Lea go or not.

I know, eye to eye conversation, unbelievable. They're just so compatible for each other, they know each other so much. Dad said that he has been dreaming about mom even though he never met her before.

What if the girl I'm dreaming about is the girl I'm destined my life with? What if I'm going to meet her someday? What if.....she's the one?

Ugh, as if?

Why would I even think that my dream girl is the one?

The girl who's driving me crazy, the girl I can't stop thinking about, the girl I can't get out of my head, and the reason why I often space out. Frequently, most of the time.

My friends: Jayden, Arthur, Celine (Jayden's girlfriend), Luke, Liza (Luke's girlfriend), and Ken, are worrying about me, especially Celine and Liza, the worrywarts.

They have been suspicious about my behavior a lot lately. They actually think that I'm crazy, which is true. For years of dreaming, I've never told anyone, as in NO ONE!

"LIAM!" I heard mom shout at me, interrupting my train of thoughts.

"Huh?" I asked stupidly.

Mom face-palmed in irritation. "Ugh! What is up with you, Liam Xavier Collins?!"

"Nothing," I said without enthusiasm.

Told you I'm becoming arrogant every time someone interrupts my train of thoughts about her. Although, I do my very best to not shout at my parents. I have to be a good role model for Lea.

"I seriously don't know what to do with you. Anyway, as I was saying, you'll be driving Lea to Myra's house. After all, you'll be passing by Myra's house on way to Starbucks. Understood?" Mom said with a serious tone. She's really mad at me.
