I Was Here All Along. (Lisa Cimorelli)

Beach and Matt.

Lisa's POV

I opened my eyes and looked around. I was at the beach. Oh yay! I went into the water for a swim. Suddenly, I felt the current dragging me away from the shore. I felt it pulling me down. I was drowning. I called out and screamed for the lifeguard. Soon, the lifeguard came over and I took a glimpse of his face. It was Matt. Then I saw 2 other people in the life raft with us. I looked around at them and saw that it was Matt as well. I was confused. What was happening? Soon, I was back on the shore. There were heaps of people crowding us trying to see if I was okay. I looked at their faces. They were all Matt's.

"Excuse me, coming through! We're her sisters! LIsa are you okay?" I heard my sisters say and I heard their footsteps walk up to where I was lying on the beach.

I looked up at them and tried to answer, but I coudn't. Were they really my sisters? They, along with everyone else, looked like Matt. Matt was everywhere. I screamed out in fright. Everyone looked at me strangely. I panicked, got up and ran towards the water. I looked at my reflection in the sea, and what I saw scared me more than what I had already been seeing. I looked like Matt. Everyone was Matt. I couldn't tell who was Katherine, or who was Amy. I couldn't tell who was the nice old lady across the road and I couldn't tell who was the grumpy old man with the 2 annoying grandkids. Everyone looked the same. The last thing I saw was a group of Matt's looking over at me before I fell down and fainted...

"Ahhhh!" I screamed out as I jolted up from my bed.

"Ugh, Lisa what's wrong?" Dani asked, waking up from my scream.

"Matt... everybody was Matt. Dani, you were Matt. Lauren, you were Matt too..." I said still in shock and disbelief

"Say what? Matt?" Dani asked looking majorly confused.

"Yes Matt!" I confirmed

Dani looked up at Lauren and made a strange confused face. Lauren shrugged her shoulders.

"Who's Matt?" I saw Dani mouth to Lauren.

"Oh Matt!! Hey, Lisa wasn't he that guy you like... I mean that fan from Subway?" Lauren asked

"Yes, that's Matt..." I said, still trying to get over what I had just dreamt "Don't worry, it was just some wacky dream. It's fine" I said as I got up and went to the bathroom.

I was confused. Why had I dreamt about Matt? I barely knew the guy. He was next to a complete stranger to me! Why had I dreamt about this random stranger I had just met briefly for a few seconds? I buried my face in my hands and took several deep breathes. Compose yourself Lisa. You just need to get your mind off him and everything will be fine. Then, I remembered seeing Ty at the shops yesterday. I remembered telling him that I would come over. Perfect! Maybe Ty would help me get my mind off a random stranger.

I got out of the bathroom and got changed into my clothes and got ready.

"I'm heading over to Ty's!!" I yelled to no one in particular as I walked out the door.

I got to Ty's house in around 10 minutes. I knocked on the door and waited on the porch for someone to open.

"Hey Lisa! I was just about to head over to yours!" Ty said as he opened the front door letting me in.

I wasn't in the mood for smiling because my dream was still bothering me, but for someone I couldn't hold my smile in when I saw Ty.

"Oh well. Next time." I chuckled to him. "Since, I'm here we might as well stay at yours." I said to him walking into the house.

We went up to his room and I sat down on his bed. I looked around his room. It was a typical guys room. It smelt of Lynx deoderant and aftershave. There were a couple car magazines on his desk and a few sport magazines on his shelf. His basketball and football were sitting neatly on his shelf and his skateboard and guitar were both leaned against the wall.
