~Dream~
I was in a dark room, tied to a chair, while all my new and old friends were frozen against the wall across from me. I tried screaming, but nothing worked. Then, my Dad came in holding weapons of torture. One by one, he killed all my friends in different ways. I cried and cried, but there was nothing I could do to make him stop. When he got to the last one, he smirked at me and left the room, locking the door. I was free from the chair, but my friends ghosts had risen front he bodies. They surrounded me telling me it was my fault they died. I screamed to drown out their voices.
~Dream~
I woke up to the girls surrounding me like they did in the dream. I screamed and jumped from bed into a corner of the room, crying.
"No, please," I sobbed.
"Aphmau?" Cadenza asked, worried.
I sat there shaking still crying.
"I'll get Jason!" Katelyn said.
I saw her run from the room, the girls following her. Jason came running into the room and locked the door. He saw me in the corner and came to me. He rocked me as I cried. When I had finished, he looked at me.
"What happened?" Jason asked.
"A dream," i said.
I explained the dream.
"Oh Aphmau," He said, hugging me.
"I just cant deal with it anymore! Im really scared to go home, Jason!" I said.
"Its fine! I'll help you!" He said.
I nodded and went to the bathroom to get ready. I walked out to find Jason stood there, waiting. He hugged me and dragged me downstairs. We walked in and everyone looked at us.
"Aphmau, come sit with me on the corner beanbag, ok? I'll get some food," He said.
I nodded and sat down.
"Im sorry guys," I said.
"For what?" Aaron asked.
"For acting the way I did," I said.
"Aphmau, everyone has nigntmares!" Katelyn said.
"Exactly!" Nicole agreed.
I smiled a little and thanked them. Jason came in with breakfast and I sat there, silently eating while the others talked.
You ok, Aph?
"Yeah, Im fine Crystal!" I said.
Well, you know you have both of us to help!
"Thanks guys!" I said.
I smiled at them, as they were hovering next to me.
"Aph, we need to go," Jason said.
I noddes. I stood up and grabbed my bag.
"Thanks so much for coming!" Cadenza said.
"It was fun!" I said.
She smiled and we both said bye, before I left with Jason. We walked to our house. Jason opened the door to see our Dad looking straight at us.
"Jason, you can go to your room! Aphmau, come here!" My Dad ordered.
Jason was about to speak, but I shook my head and pushed him towards the stairs.
"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?" Dad screamed at me.
"I was at the park," I lied.
"WHY?" He asked.
"Because I didn't want to come home," I said.
"YOU ARE GONNA GET IT!" He yelled.
I winced a little at his voice and he grabbed my wrist, before punching me in the face. He grabbed an empty beer bottle, smashed it over my head and pushed me to the ground onto some of the glass shards that weren't stuck in m hair. He kicked the side of my stomach, before ordering me to go to my room. I carefully got up and left to my room. I had a tiny box room that only just managed to fit my bed in. I pushed the door and collapsed on my bed. Jason ran in and gasped at me. Before I could say anything, I fainted.

I woke up to Jason looking at me. He sighed and hugged me. I hugged back.
"What are you doing in here?" I asked.
"I'm helping you," He said.
"You know I'm used to this," I said.
"I know. Now, come on. I'm taking you to the park!" He said.
"Dad won't let me," I said.
"No, Dad's kicking us out of the house because his mate is coming over," Jason explained.
I grinned and pushed Jason out of my room while I got changed.

I opened my door to find Jason stood there. I sighed at him and let him in.
"How are you supposed to hide the scars and stuff on your face?" He asked.
"Make up!" I said.
He looked confused, so I grabbed my concealer and mixed it into my face to hide everything. Jason looked amazed.
"It looks like nothing ever happened!" He said.
I laughed and nodded.
"Anyway, we gotta go!" He said.
I nodded again and we ran down the stairs to find Dad sat in the living room, drinking.
"Hi son!" He said.
"Hey Dad," Jason said back.
"Are you off to the park?" He asked.
"Yep!" Jason answered.
He nodded at Jason and we left. The reason my Dad hates me is because since Mum died, he took his anger out on me and he wouldn't do it to Jason because he's a boy. Yep. He's totally sexist.
"I told everyone to meet us here," Jason said.
"What day is it?" I asked.
"Saturday, the same day as it was when you fainted," He said.
I nodded and we reached the park.
"I have a surprise for you later," Jason said.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yep!"
We sat on a bench and talked until our friends arrived.
"Hey guys!" Jason said.
I turned to see all of our friends walking over. I waved, grinning.
"Hi!" They replied.
We got off the bench and we all decided to sit on the floor next to a nearby tree.
"What did you do today?" I asked everyone.
"Cadenza dragged me shopping," Laurance said.
I laughed a little.
"Me, Dante and Garroth just hung out at my place," Travis said.
"Video games," Zane said.
"I hung out with my sister," Aaron said.
"Me, Kawaii~Chan and Lucinda went shopping too," Katelyn said.
"I spent time with my fox," Nicole said.
"I hung out with Abby," Jeffory said.
"I just chilled out at home," Vlyad said.
"I met up with some old friends," Jason said.
I looked at him.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Turn around," Jason said.
I turned and saw the sky army stood there. I screamed a little and ran to hug them all. We had a huge group hug before I turned to my friends looking confused.
