Dream or Reality?

  "Guess I just need to wait for him to calm down. I hope he doesn't think I like Cypher or anything." Closing my door I laid down on my bed and began to dream. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was back at home talking to mom about something..... It had to do with not being able to see Grandma O anymore because of Anthony.

"What the hell mom! Ever since he's been here he's done nothing but ruin my life! First, I can't hang out with my friends, second I can't have anyone over anymore or go out unless he says so, and now he doesn't want me visiting MY GRANDMOTHER?! I don't think so." Folding my arms I glared at my mom.

"Baby, there's nothing I can do about it. You know how your father is-"

"HE IS NOT MY FATHER!" Stomping to the door I ran without a second glance. I didn't know where I was going, but I just knew I had to run. Run away from this madness. My surroundings began to change and I was sitting on a swing in a playground.

"Dad used to bring me here sometimes." My eyes got watery as I remembered him pushing me on the swings as a small child, then I heard tires squeak loudly and three gunshots, looking behind me I saw a green Toyota flip over and crash into a tree. Another car pulled up, it was a black Chevy, a man in a suit and sunglasses stepped out and walked to the Toyota. He reached in and pulled a man out of the driver's seat. Then he did the unthinkable, he threw the man into a brick wall and shot him two times in the chest, I was too scared to move, too scared to scream.

"Maybe if I don't move he won't see me." The man walked back to the car, opened the door and stepped inside. The car sped off and I felt my legs moving towards the man who got shot. He seemed familiar, but I don't think I've ever seen him before. He didn't seem to see or hear me but smiled as he closed his eyes taking his last breath. A scream rang out, a lady standing about 20 feet away ran towards us. She ran threw me to the man, grabbing her phone she called 911.

"She ran threw me... How?" I put my hand out to touch her when she disappeared. Spinning around I noticed it was dark and I was in an empty street. No one was around. Except... A man standing 100 feet away, he wasn't moving which made this all the more creepy. He wore a suit and sunglasses, just like the man from earlier. I turned to run but he was behind me as well, turning back around I saw him in the same spot.

"There're two of them!" Moving to the right an alley way appeared, running in the alley a figure stepped out.

"Another one!" Over my shoulder I saw the other two walking towards me.

"Oh no." I ran to a door trying to open it, but it was locked. They were now 5 feet away from me but I couldn't see their faces. Leaning against the door I closed my eyes and held my breath.

"Wake up y/n! Wake up!" A chuckle made me open my eyes.

"You aren't getting away this time y/n." They reached out to grab me when the door opened and someone pulled me inside. They began banging on the door and I thought for sure they would get in.

"I wouldn't worry about them baby, as long as I'm here you'll be safe." I know that voice. I looked at my rescuer.

"GRANDMA O!" I threw my arms around her and hugged her tightly. She laughed and hugged me back. She smelled like cookies and cigarettes. I missed that smell. She lead me to her living room and had a plate of cookies out waiting for me.

"I had a feeling that you'd come by." She gave me a wink and we sat on the couch. Before I could get a cookie she reached for my hand and held it tightly.

"What's wrong Grandma O?"

"Don't eat the cookies just yet, I have something important to tell you and I need you to pay very close attention."

"Of course. What is it?" Her face grew serious as she spoke.

"You are in danger. There are some people who want you dead. I'm going to ask some friends of mine to help keep you safe, and you need to do whatever it takes to stay alive. Y/n, you won't be able to come back."

"What?! But-"

"Oh you can visit, but you can't live here anymore. I know this isn't going to be easy for you, but I need you to be strong! Just like your dad."

"... Okay. But what about Huey and Eric? Are they in danger too?"

She shook her head and brought her hand up to my face, "Oh there's so much I wanted to tell you. Just remember that life is never as it seems, there is so much more going on that we can't understand. Y/n, you have to cherish him and don't give up even when it feels unbearable."

"Cherish who?" Smiling she kissed my forehead and handed me a cookie, taking a cookie I waited for her to answer.

"You have to go now, y/n."

"I just got here." She pulled me into a hug and rubbed my back, this is what safety and love feels like.

"All good things must come to an end love."

"Not this."

"Let me get you a glass of milk for those cookies." I smiled at her as she got up and went to the kitchen, taking a bite of my cookie the room began to get dark.

"Grandma! Grandma O, where are you?" The kitchen was empty and it was disappearing.

"No." I whispered.
