Chapter 6 4/5/12

                                                             DREAM ON

After packing I got Into the shower.. I felt as if I had been packing for days. Beads of sweat appeared on my forehead.. and I had been thinking of that guy, Caleb. I don't know but there was something about him that I wasn't necessarily sure about, but i was willing to find out! Better safe then sorry. But at the same time I didn't want to take any chances.

I sometimes make ideas when I sometimes forget to make the best decisions for me. Its like I don't think twice about if things will benefit me or not.

Piiiing.

That was my phone. It was charging under my pillow... well 'the' pillow I didn't want to get to comfortable with anything, because as soon as things come is the sooner they can go. It was a text message from a number I didn't know. I was kind of curious.

407-326-65102: Hey Beautiful :) 

Me: Who is this? 

407-326-65102: Caleb!

I didn't know what to say. I discussed these type of things with Stella... if she was here I would've already replied. With no problem at all. So I just sat there and looked at the text message... 'Caleb!' I even managed to save his number and update a few statuses and tweets 'Until I finally decided to reply.

Me: Oh umm hey! 

Caleb: That took quite some time. R u busy?

Was I busy? Of course I wasn't. But i couldn't tell him I was deciding what to say or whether I should reply or not. That just wasn't happening so instead I wrote

Me: oh not really my phone went dead.. Srry. Wyd?

'Message sent!' I had lied to him already.. but he'd never know anyways.  

And plus lying was never really a hobby for me.. I always said what felt, when I felt. But I didn't want to make such a bad impression. :-)  

I was thinking about all of this for a long time until I fell asleep.

DREAM.....

' Emergency Room. Red letters. Wheel chairs. Waiting rooms. Rushing doctors. Room 107. Dad. The only things on my mind... the only things around me. 

Wait Dad?! It couldn't be. But I walked in to the room anyways. And there he was laying there, looking as if to tell me to come to where he was. He looked pale. But he managed to smile at me.

He held out his hand. "Reni" he spoke very slowly and carefully.. calling me by my childhood name, which only HE called me. I walked over to him and sat by his side looking at him. Tracing the lines on his face. Seeing him made me realize how stressed he seemed, how tired he sounded, but how happy he looked. I wouldn't trade this moment for anything.. if I could I would stay in this dream forever. My father was my everything. He made me realize that it was the inside that counted. He helped me realize a lot of things.

"Reni, everything you do from now on, remember they're testing you. Do what you need to. Remember my words Reni, just pay attention to your surroundings. Do it do it, for me and your mother. I love you and I'm counting on you. We both are." My dad said.

At that moment I heard the monitors in the room go off. And my dad, he stood up and kissed me on the forehead and walked towards a beautiful woman who looked much like myself, they smiled at me.  

The woman spoke very softly and with a beautiful voice "I'm proud of you baby" she blew a kiss and with that my parents were gone. At that moment I came back to life, a whole bunch of doctors came rushing into the room. Then it was over. I was no longer in my dream.

I woke up and just sat there, thinking of the words i had just heard "Everything you do from now on, remember they're testing you." The words kept repeating in my head over and over. Who's testing me? And what is there that I need to do?
