Chasing Your Dreams

Under Anesthesia

Jason's pov

The doctor gathers everyone and explains the situation best he can. "Wait! She's my wife! Can't I go?" The doctor shakes his head. "Why the fuck not?" "Because nobody protects their child better than a father." "Except mine." Sean whispers. I sigh. "You know I'll take care of her." He's still pissed. "I guess I'm a little jealous. I spent my whole life taking care of her." "Whatever. Let's get to it." Me and the doctor go back to her room. "What do I do doc?" "All ya gotta do is relax. And when you get there, you'll most likely be the most powerful thing there so be careful." "What do you mean by that? Are you saying she's-" "She's out of it. Her mind and body is weak right now." I shrug it off and lay down. He sticks an IV in my arm and everything goes black. Suddenly I'm falling and smack hard into the ground. "Oh man what the heck? Where am I?"

Miranda's pov

Where am I? I don't remember this place. It's dark. And cold. Oh I'm under a blanket. I pull it off my head but am still freezing. I'm back home at mom's house. No heat.

Jason's pov

It suddenly got really cold. There's a house in the distance. I run to it, hoping to find her. "Miranda? Are you in here?" I hear a guy screaming at someone. It's so cold in here. I hear the guy scream, "You're killing them!" "Me? What about you?" A girl screams back.

Miranda's pov

I shakily peek out, hoping they've stopped fighting. "Miranda don't." Sean whispered. My eyes go wide. "Dad." I whisper, opening the door. "Dad!" I gasp. He spins around. "There you.... Are?"

Jason's pov

She's five years old? What's going on? This is insane. The couple who by now I've figured out are her parents are fighting again. She covers her ears and backs up. "No wait, it's okay. They can't hurt you." "You're wrong." She whispers, opening a closet door and going in there. What do I do? I open the door. Whoa. Sean? Not really him. Her memory of him. I sit down beside her. "Don't worry honey, I won't let nothin' get to you." "You promise?" She whispers, tearfully. "I promise." She holds her pinkie up. "Pinkie promise?" I smile and pinkie promise her. Man she's adorable. I wish I met her when she was a kid. They keep fighting for what seems like forever. Which I guess to a five year old girl it would be forever. Then suddenly everything disappears. What the heck?! "Miranda!!" Where'd she go?! Four numbers appear. "2003?" She'd be..... Nine I think. Then I see her walk out of her house. Nine years old. A smile on her face. She's wearing a bathing suit. "I know mom." She calls, closing the door. What's about to happen? Suddenly a dog runs passed me. A doberman. "No!" She screams and runs away as the dog runs after her. I run after it and knock it to the ground. Everything gets dark. "What's happening?" I look over at her and to my surprise she's twenty one again, shaking and terrified. "Dad?" Someone grabs her arms. She tries to pull away. The light flashes on. We're at her and Mo's old house. "No, Mo. Get off me." Ok this I can take care of easily. I walk down the hall where I hear them talking. "But I thought you wanted to be a mom?" "I do but-" "Get off her, Mo." He ignores me. "Fine. Fighting it is." I grab his neck and punch him. Somehow he flies almost ten feet then I remember the doctor said I'm the strongest thing here. "Is it over?" She whispers. I hug her. Seconds later, my hands are handcuffed. What's going on now?! My eyes go wide horrified. "No! Not this!!" I pull at the handcuffs. They snap free this time just as he walks in, holding her by the neck. "Revenge sure is sweet." I wish I had my gun. Just as I think that, my pistol is in my hand. I smile. "Taste lead." I whisper, shooting him with every bullet. It's gotta be almost over. I drop the gun and the house disappears, replaced with a mountain side. I hear the girls laughing and talking. I run around the corner and the see the rock crumbling beneath her feet. This one I can't really do much. I can't reach her from here but the helicopter will be here soon. Man everything is going so fast, I can barely keep up. Suddenly I'm in Tootsie's orchid bar! Oh no! This is when it happened. I'm looking for her but I see Sierra and the reporters. I turn around and see the prick messing with her. She backed up, freaked out, close to the stairs. "Miranda! Look out!" Sierra cries. I'm too slow to catch her as she falls. Horror fills me. Everything fades to black but her terrified shocked expression is all I can see. I shut my eyes, trying to block it out and when I do, I'm back in the hospital! Brittany beside me. "Is... Is she awake?" "Yeah. You did it, Jason!" She hugs me. "I'm so tired." "That's normal, ya just came out of anesthesia." "I did? I can't even think clearly. Where's my daughter?" He smiles. "At the nursery, with her son." I smile. The doctor takes the IV out of my arm. "Let's get outta here, darlin'." She is all smiles. "I'm so proud of you, Jason." "Thanks baby." I wanna go see my son and grandson.
