Jessie POV
I woke up around a puff of fog. I got up slowly trying to adapt to my surroundings. I got up and looked around. I continued and started walking until I came up to this dark green door, that had my name on it. I was about to touch it when I heard giggling. I looked around to see if anybody was there but I saw no one. I put my hand on the door knob which was cold. I slowly opened it to see a completely different setting. It was Prince’s room. I slowly crept in trying not to be noticed. I heard the giggling again. As I fully stepped into his room, I saw the unexpected… I saw him on his bed with 2 little children that looked just like him. One girl. One boy. The little girl who looked like she was about 9 months was climbing ontop of him and he looked super happy. But the boy was climbing onto somebody else. It was a female. I got a better look at who she is. I saw that it was Mia. I stared in disbelief. How did this happen? Why is she here? Prince sat up and kissed the little girls cheek he tickled her stomach and she laughed . It was just like his laugh. Mia picked up the little boy and started playing with him. I looked around him room and I saw pictures everywhere. Pictures of him and Mia. There were also picture of the two little babies. Pictures when they were born, when they were at the park, and then I spotted one picture that made me wanna break down and cry: It was a picture of Prince and Mia, in a hospital, in a delivery room, holding the two babies. Then it hit me. These are THEIR kids. No. What happened to me and him?? By now tears were flowing down my cheeks. I looked away from the picture to his trash can. I walked over to it a saw all the picture of me and him. Torn up, ruined. I spotted one specific one. The one when we were in the tub together. I picked up the ripped picture and looked at it. Then when I dropped it back into the trash can, the colors started to fade. Then out of nowhere it caught on fire. It burned along with all the other memories. The laughs. The smiles. The cries. All of it. Burning before my eyes. I put my attention back on Prince who was now making out with Mia while the babies were playing with toys. She put her hand on his cheek where I saw a huge diamond on her finger. They were married too???!!! NOOO!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO US!! WHAT WE HAD!! I started crying heavily. I couldn’t stop.There I was crying, just watching them make out. They pulled away.
Prince: I love you.
Mia: I love you too.
And they went back to kissing. By now I wasn’t just crying. I was screaming and crying. Why?? Why did this happen??!! I broke down onto the floor. The little boy and girl looked in my direction. They crawled over to me. The little boy grabbed my finger and the little girl did the same.
LB: Mama.
LG: J-Jessie.
I smiled at them knowing they should be my kids. Prince should be my husband. This should be my life. I got up not trying not to knock over the kids, tears still falling. I got up and looked at Prince for one last time. He looked at me and blinked. His expression changed completely. He got up walked over to me. He looked at me.
Mia: babe what are you looking at?
He didn’t answer, he just looked at me. He tried to put his hand on my cheek but I backed away. I felt tears starting to fall again. Mia got up and walked over to kim, kissing his neck.
Mia: babe?
I was crying again. And with that I ran out of the room back into the fog. I tripped on something. I saw it was a box. I crawled over to it. I opened it and saw a….heart. It had a note taped to it. It said:
This is my heart. It only beats for my one true love. But since she is not with me, so it no longer beats. I don’t want it anymore. Its done. Its served its purpose. Since she is not with me, there is no reason to live. I carved it out of my chest with a knife. To only feel the pain I caused her. This is a symbol to represent that I cant live without her. But its to late. I’m gone now and so is she. Just know one thing that I took with me to the grave: I’m sorry Jessie. I love you.
And with that I dropped the note and fell to the ground. I broke down. I felt my stomach start to rumble. I hovered over as I threw up. The sight of his heart and the note was too much to handle. I layed down as my breathing slowed down. I felt myself slipping away, but what was the point of living. Without him I’m nothing.
And with that I woke up. Screaming. I looked around to only see my room. I felt my forehead and I felt liquid. I was sweating. My mom rushed into the room.
Jmom: Sweetie whats wrong?! I heard you screaming!
Jessie: Nothing mom. Just a bad dream. I’m fine.
Jmom: Baby the screaming isn’t just what I’m worried about. Its what you were screaming.
Jessie: What was I screaming?
Jmom: You were screaming out…. Jacob die. Baby I think you need some help.
Jessie: No. Stop treating me like I’m crazy. I’m not. I don’t need any help. It was just a bad dream, okay? I’m sorry I woke you.
Jmom: Its okay. But baby are you sure?
Jessie: yes mom. Go back to bed, I’ll be fine. I promise.
Jmom: (kisses her forehead) Okay. Good night sweetie.
Jessie: Good night.
She left out of the room and I got up and changed the sheets and covers and my pillowcase which was now soaked in sweat. I changed everything and got back in bed. I thought about the dream. What did it mean? I didn’t figure it out but I know one thing.
That wasn’t just a bad dream……that was my worst nightmare.
