***Violet's POV***

"No Daddy! Stop! Don't run that way!!" I yell. I run to my dad but he is way in front of me about to run into the dark alley across the street from a local restaurant we had been to that night.

"Daddy!!!" I run up to the alley as I hear a gun shot.

"DADDY!!! NOOOO!!!!!" I am crying and screaming.

>>>>>end of dream<<<<<<

"Honey its okay. It was just a dream. It was just a dream." my mom comforts me as she holds my shaking body in her arms.

"I thought they would go away since we are home..." I admit. I have had these dreams since my father was killed by those fucking thugs in that alley. I hate them. I don't hate people, but I hate them.

"Its okay honey. Just rest. Just rest. Everything is going to be okay." she assures but I know she cant make that 100% sure. As I think of different ways to kill the thugs as they did my father I drift back to sleep.

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

I wake up to my alarm singing Best Song Ever by One Direction indicating its 7:30 and its time to get ready. I slowly sit up in my bed seeing my mom asleep on my floor. I love the fact that she stayed here after my reoccurring nightmare. I remember what today is and mentally jump up in down. I slowly bring my aching legs to the side of my bed. I tap my peacefully sleeping mother on the shoulder to wake her.

"Goodmorning momma." I say as she slowly opens her eyes.

"Hello honey. How are you feeling? Are you up for today's events?" she asks with a bright white smile as she sits up on my bedroom floor.

"YES!! One hundred times yes." I stand up slowly making sure I had my balance and my bones were strong enough today. I am pleased when I am able to enter the bathroom by myself. Mom follows me just incase.

I shut the door behind me and undress. I look in the mirror hovering over my bathroom counter. I see my swelled eyes. I try to erase last night's events and think about today as I enter the shower.

"Mom I am in." I tell her and she opens the door slowly.

"Vi, honey, I was wondering... after the MagCon thing do you want to go to PF Changs with Morgan? I know that your guy's favorite place." she asks. Why is she being like this? She has been wanting to give me everything since we left the hospital and seeing that I left the mall with 4 new pairs of Vans and a pair of all black Supras. I mean I love shoes and everything and I appreciate everything she does for me but what's going on?

"Vi?" she says after I don't respond.

"Umm.. Yeah that sounds great. Thanks Mom." I thank her kindly and finish rinsing the conditioner out of my hair. After I finish I turn the water off and move the curtain out of the way as my mom wraps me up in a towel. I stumble as I walk into my bedroom but catch my balance while grabbing onto my chair. I take a deep breath.

I walk over to my new dress and slide it on over my pink strapless bra and panties set. I look into the mirror to adjust it to the way I see fit.

The dress goes mid thigh and has a slit in the back to expose my lower back. It is navy blue and pink floral print with a corresponding brown belt set on the stomach. My new Vans look perfect as I slip them on. I lather on my Victoria Secrets Lotion Love Spell. I mean I don't want to be ashy when I meet the only guy who could keep me smiling in the darkest times.

I walk into the bathroom to dry my hair. I decide to leave it naturally curly over my exposed shoulders. I feel pretty for once after I apply mascara eyeliner and foundation. I don't want to go overboard but I want to be presentable. When I am done admiring myself in the full length mirror in my bedroom. I grab my phone with m headphones and my wallet even though there isn't anything in there since I haven't been able to work due to the freaking hospital.

I walk down the stairs slowly when I reach the bottom and my mom smiles in my direction.

"Well don't you look stunning?" she admires me and I cant help but smile along with her.

"thanks mom. We should get going. I told Morgan we would be there at 9:30 and its 9:15 now. "

She nods in agreement as she grabs two muffins, her keys, and her purse. She hands me a chocolate chip muffin, my favorite. I get into her blue Ford Fusion. I take a bite as she starts out of the love paved driveway.

"Wanna stop by Starbucks after we pick up Morgan?"

"Yes, please." I answer.

We reach Morgan's big 3 story house and see her coming down from the front steps in neon orange pants on and a decorative white top with white converse. Her perfect outfit.

"Hey h... girl!" she catches herself as she gets in the backseat of my mom's car.

"Heyyy. You excited?" I ask while peering over my shoulder to see her face.

"Yea!! Is that even a question?! Hey Jennifer!" she says to my mom.

"Hey sweetheart. Vi wants Starbucks so we are gonna stop by there, is that okay?" my mom asks kindly. Morgan nods her head.

We start singing to the songs playing in the car. Well.. more like yelling.

"BEEN AROUND THE WORLD DONT SPEAK THE LANGUAGE. BUT YO BOOTY DONT NEED EXPLAININ ALL I REALLY NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS. WHEN. YOU. TALK DIRTY TO ME." we sing/yell and dance to Jason Derulo's song.

We pull up to Starbucks and turn down the music to order. Mom orders a white chocolate mocha cappuccino. Morgan orders a mocha Frappuccino. And I order a Caramel Frappuccino. After about 10 minutes we get our drinks and head off.

"I cannot believe we are on our way to see THE Magcon boys. Like I cant even contain myself." Morgan says. I nod in agreement but have my mind is set on other things. I am trying to find out what my mom is keeping from me. I know she is. I can tell.

"Violet?" Morgan barks from the back seat.

"What.. sorry?"

"Aren't excited?"

"Yes! I can not wait to finally meet them. I just hate to think about the line we have to stand in." I say trying to get my mind off of my mom.

"It shouldn't be long. I hear not a lot of people will be at this one." Morgan says happily.

"That's good." I say.

We reach the building that the convention is being held in. Its large and looks to be about 10 stories tall I'd say. Mom parks the car towards the front due to the Handicap sign we have in the car thanks t my cancer.

Before entering the large building, me and Morgan exchange large smiles and enter the heavily decorated room. Why do I feel like this is going to change my life?
