The Pain - Rucas

chapter 7: dreams

Riley:

What if you were to wake up and everything in your life wasn't real? Somehow everything suddenly changed?
After the party I had walked home. The house wasn't that far from mine. I usually take the subway home, but I was too happy and filled with emotion I forgot.

I was three blocks from my house when I had felt a pain of a knife stab the side of my stomach. You could say I was shocked and scared, but to be honest I stayed calm. At least I did that on the inside. Meanwhile, I started falling to the ground and felt my phone and purse come out of my hands and into a stranger's.

Things all went black and I fell into a long sleep. While away I had that dream. A dream where I was happy and everything was happy.

Though, in my dream Maya found out about Lucas and I. She was mad of course, but I had stood up to her and said what I need to say.

I was confident and strong. I had faith in myself, something I haven't been in a long time. It was like a perfect dream that had to go away and come to a stop.

I don't want to wake up. Not now and not ever. Dreams are a better place than the real world. Dreams make your crush love you and you see a different version of yourself. Maybe a better one.

The pictures in my head start to disappear and I can see reality comeback to me. The light shines through my eyes and I see myself in a bed.

I am in a hospital. The gown I'm wearing is very uncomfortable and I have the worst headache you can imagine. I can't speak or talk. All I can do is look. Am I dreaming again?

Maybe I will wake up again in the better place I thought of. Sadly, the answer is no. Instead I see the face of a heartbroken mother and a sad-eyed bestfriend. They both look at me at the same time and speak words.

I can't hear them and I just sit there probably very confused looking. In that moment I start to scream. I cannot hear my own screams and a nurse runs in to sedate me. I fell back into that long sleep and back to dream land.

Then I have the worst nightmare of my life, except this time it's reality. I have no where to go and no place to run. I have to face my living nightmare.

A/n: this chapter was very rushed and not proof read. Anyway the last chapter was a part of her dreams if it makes sense. This whole chapter is very short in general so I apologize. Please vote and comment. Thanks so much for reading
