(The chapters are a bit short please make sure to comment what you think on the story!! Thanks:)

--------------------------------

My heart was pounding as I jolted awake, what the hell happened my whole body was shaking that dream had felt way to vivd. I looked around the room my eyes adjusting to the dark bedroom and a figure was laying at my bedside sound asleep and I remembered it was only a dream. I smiled as I watched her sleep. Ivy the girl who had saved my life two years ago, the girl I never knew and only saw as an outcast in school that I had grown to love so much. I stood up rubbing my eyes and heading toward the bathroom I turned the light on so it wouldn't bother her sleep and tried to shake the dream off the cool feel of the water helping me relax.

Two years ago I had died in alley heading home from a track race having won first place. One of my teammates was one of the ones who was in on the killing I was robbed but I was still alive when ivy found me laying in a puddle of my own blood waiting for death to come take me. I didn't know death would be such a beauty as her. She was surprised when she found me and said I should've been dead a long time ago by the time she found me with the injuries I had but told me I had a strong heart and was someone who must've not been easy to kill with the damage I took. That remark makes me smirk now, but back then it was kind of freaky. I still have a pulsing heart but it beats at a different rate than the way it used to beat. I noticed that after I woke up which from what Ivy told me it had been 3 days after the incident and that I should take easy. I remember those days like yesterday and it makes me laugh.

I sigh and look back at the bed where she was still asleep peacefully. I wouldn't have this life if it wouldn't of been for her but I didn't understand was why that dream bothered me so much. I rub the sweat from my forehead and decide to head back to bed, as I climbed carefully back in trying my best not to wake Ivy.

"Sam, you okay what happened?" her soft voice suddenly said and I sighed.

"Yeah, I'm fine I didn't mean to wake you I just had a strange dream again." I answer her concern with assurance and wrap my arms around bringing her into a warm embrace. She snuggled in but I could tell she was still concerned about me. I kiss her forehead to let her know everything was okay and that nothing was wrong I knew she would take the bait at least for tonight. Or so I hoped.

Ivy didn't take the bait a few hours later at day break she looked at me not even phased with the bullshit I had given her about being fine the night before. I didn't want to explain what that feeling was that I had in my dream but I knew I would have too eventually. I leaned by staring at the red curtains that wrapped around and hung over the side of the extended bed frame as the beginning rays of sun peered in. I shifted side ways uncomfortably, I could avoid the topic by simply leaving for the morning and most of the afternoon to find food and then get ambushed about it at night fall. The odds weren't looking in a favor and I didn't want to have to explain. Somehow I had a feeling she knew what it was and that I wouldn't have a choice but to explain.
