Hi guys so just something quick before you go onto reading this chapter. The setup of this chapter will be weird and hard for you to read if you don't read this note. So this dream will be through Elizabeth's P.O.V, but the dream will be in italics while what Elizabeth is thinking and doing will be in normal so things will be easy for you to understand. Also I don't own the song played in this chapter.

Apart from that enjoy the chapter xx

=Elizabeth=

I fluttered my eyes open and saw I was standing in some kind of house.

"Mom, mom!" A young girl yelled in another room.

I made my way through the small house until loud footsteps came from behind me. I swung on my heels and saw a woman walk into the room.

"In here Elizabeth darlin'," she called out.

I watched in silence as the scene unfolded in front of me.

"Is he here yet?" Young Elizabeth asked as she ran into the room.

"Not yet sweetheart, but he'll be here any minute now," The woman explained.

"I wish he was here now," The young girl whined.

"Why don't you go and play your piano while you wait?" That will make time go faster," Her mother suggested.

Elizabeth nodded before bounding off into another room. The place held a piano and a bass in one corner that belonged to her brother.

She took a seat at the white instrument and started to run her fingers along the keys playing her favorite song.

What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright

My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh

How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you

My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh

Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard

'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you

I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh

Elizabeth swung her head around as a voice spoke up behind her. "You get better everytime I hear you play Lizzy."

It was her brother.

Isaac was a tall, thin teen with dirty blonde hair and a thick british accent. He looked about 13 and had a smile wide across his face.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing in front of me. All this time and I didn't see it. How could I have not figured this out sooner? He had been right in front of me since day 1.

The boy in front of me was Newt.

Newt was my brother.

I continued to watch in shock and disbelief as the memory unfolded.

"Did you see Brielle or Harper while I was gone?" Isaac questioned his little sister.

Elizabeth shook her head. "No, Harper is away with her family and Brielle is too busy."

"So what have you been doing while I've been gone?" Her brother asked.

"Nothing much, just hanging around the house," She shrugged.

"Well, in that case," He paused for a second and grabbed his bass from its stand.

"Let's find something to do," He told her.

The scene then started to fade out and became nothing but total darkness.

I couldn't believe that all this time the person I had gotten closest to in the Glade was my older brother.

Before I could think about it anymore a blinding light hit me, causing me to shield my eyes with my hands.

"Isaac," A voice called out as the room turned into a dark bedroom.

A figure sat up in bed, rubbing the sleep out of their eyes.

"Isaac," The voice voice sound as though it had been sobbing.

"Lizzy, what's the matter?" Her brother questioned, switching on a lamp on beside his bed.

Light shone through the room and showed a younger looking Isaac sitting up in bed with a 8 year old  Elizabeth standing at the door. She was holding a purple bunny close to her chest.

"I had a bad dream," She whimpered.

Isaac smiled grimly at his sister before gesturing for her to join him on his bed.

Elizabeth rushed over to her brother and jumped up beside him on the bed. Isaac pulled her to rest with him, placing a protective arm around her shoulders.

"Go back to sleep Lizzy. Nothing's going to hurt you I promise," He told her, leaning down and placing a kiss on her temple to seal the deal.

Elizabeth quickly settled down and fell back into a deep sleep.

All of these memories they were of me and Newt. I can't believe how close we once were. Everything was starting to add up now.

I then remembered I was dying and would probably never get to tell Newt the truth.

It was too late.
