✮❄✾ Lara Hills ✮❄✾

The guys were so great performing I couldn't help joining in a little myself. I got a few strange looks from people as if questioning me for some reason, but I didn't care. When they finished we all clapped vigorously. I hugged Jamie, and high fived Ever and Megan. They all sat down and we listened to the man talking and thanking them for their performance. That was practically the end of the night so we headed back to our rooms. There was no time restrictions on the cruise, so you could wander the ship and stay up as long as you liked.

Jamie and I decided to take a little detour and told the guys we might see them in about half an hour. They gave us an innapropriate wink and dawdled back to the room.

Jamie and I walked over to the rails of the ship, and them all the way down to the back. We stared off the end of the boat into the ocean, the moon was reflecting off the water.

"This has been really great so far" Jamie said to me.

"I know. hasn't it?" I said back.

We stared at each other and slowly edged closer like in the movies. Our lips touched and I felt like fire works were going off. I have kissed him a million times before, but for some reason this one felt more special, more romantic. This was definately going to leave a buzz for a while.

"Im gonna head back." Jamie said stepping back from the edge.

"Okay I'll chill here for a few minutes." I said.

He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek goodbye and walked off. A few minutes later I stared walking back before I see Ever and James. Ever was slowly falling asleep under the stars with James watching her. He kissed her on the cheek and picked her up, presumably carrying her back to their room. I stared up at the stars thinking that sometimes James acts like he really does like Ever.

I walked back to the room and climbed into bed.

*DREAM*

I walked up on the deck, strange, I didn't remember getting up this morning. I walked along in my chinos and loose lace crop top. I felt weightless when I walked, I watched all the children having fun and all the parents watching them. I turned around and Ben was standing in front of me. I closed my eyes and hoped he would go away, but everyone else disappeared instead. Suddenly Juliet walked up behind him and touched him lightly on the arm. But he stood there emotionless. His mouth opened and I heard his echoey voice, saying 'I love you. I love you. I love you.....' I tried to run but my feet seemed to take me nowhere. Someone grabbed me from behind and I tried to scream, but no sound came out. I felt a whip crack on my back causing me to scream. I spun around and bens dad was standing behind me. He pushed me down to the floor. Everything blurred around me and I saw a flashing white light. Bens dad turned into Ben, and he suddenly started to kick me around. I saw Jamie walking along. I stand up, at last I could run. I run over and bursted into tears and screamed at him.

"Jamie please, help me please! That's Ben the one I told you about."

He kicked my feet out from under me, and I tumbled onto the deck.

"I never loved you, it was always about your money. You stupid girl, but I got what I wanted didnt I?" Suddenly my nice clothes disappear and are replaced with rags. They all walked away laughing and did't even take a second glance back at me...

*END OF DREAM*

I woke up and screamed. Jamie ran over.

"Lara? ! Is everything alright." he asked, sounding concerned.

"No. Nightmare, horrible nightmare. Returning ex. Bad memories. You. You were in it."

"Was it good about me? I hope so"' he asked with a cheeky smile.

"I don't wanna talk about it." I said. I got up and walked away. I walked out into the main room, Megan was there.

"Lara, tell me. What happened in your dream?"

I sit down slowly and explained everything to her. She sat in shock for a few minutes.

"Lara, It was a dream okay? It's not true. Jamie loves you, why else would he have been with you for a year? I don't think anyone would wait that long just for money. Ben isn't here, nor Juliet, and bens dad is in prison. We got rid of them ages ago. There's no way any part of that dream could come true."

"I suppose you're right.' I said to her, running the whole sequence of events back in my head, that happened in my dream.

'Could happen?' I thought to myself. 'But lets not worry about that right now, my life is practically perfect an I'm supposed to enjoy myself on a cruise!'
