Roxanna has been through the worst. She's been abused, homeless, starved, all by her father who turned to drugs and alcohol after her mother dies. was kicked out by him at the age of twelve and the one reason she kept going was her little brother As...
My eye flutter open and I look around the space I'm in. This isn't the apartment. Everything is so luxury, expensive like it's out of a movie.
I'm dressed in a blue silk night gown and I'm a huge king sized bed. Three walls are windows floor to ceiling except for one which is painted gray with writing on it. The bed I'm in is a huge king size bed with white cotton sheets. Simple.
I get out of the bed and walked to the large windows. You can see all of New York! Central Park is right across the street! This is my heaven I swear! Wait! Did I die am I in heaven?! I hear footsteps from outside before someone opens the door. White hair, blue eyes, Rylan. Thank God!
"Roxanne! I've been calling you we have to get to school we're gonna be late!"
"School? What do you mean? Where are we?"
He looks at me perplexed before coming and putting his hand on my forehead. "Are you feeling okay? School as in college, Columbia University? And we're in our apartment the one my parents are letting us use till we finish school?"
"Oh! Yeah sorry I'm just tired you know just woke up, not fully there yet." I shoot him s bright smile as I lie through my teeth. He laughs before kissing me. Woah! What was that? Are we together?
"Ok, well you've got half an hour then we got to go you're supposed to be the organized one in this relationship we already established that I'm the unorganized boyfriend we can't have to unorganized procrastinators!" We both laugh before he runs back to wherever he was before.
Great, okay I live in New York, I go to school at Columbia University! I live in a penthouse that belongs to my boyfriend's parents. This must be a dream. Might as well enjoy it while it last! So task at hand: find the bathroom!
There's only one other door besides the one Rylan came in through so I obviously check there first. This. Is. Unreal. Lord Almighty! This is the biggest bathroom I've ether seen! Instead of gawking at it, I strip my clothes off and step into the shower.
I finish and grab one of the softest towels I've ever touched in my life. I walk through the next and I literally drop the towel and nearly faint! This cannot be mine!

But above the clothing is Roxanne's in big pink light up colors. I change into brown jeans, a huge oversized red sweater, and black converse.
I'm not sure how I usually dress so I think this should be okay? I head out the room and down the large glass steps. Rylan is standing by the door with a container, a coat, and a book bag.
"Hey, so I got all your stuff and breakfast so you can on the way to school, I don't know how you do this everyday it's exhausting." He sighs loudly before offering me a smile.
I put on this extremely soft coat, and take the breakfast book at from his and we are out the door. The lobby of the building is gorgeous! Who even lives like this?! Well me, but this isn't real, can't be.
When the valet pulls up Rylan's black Porsche I can't help but ask, he is my brother after all!
"Rylan, where is Ashton?" He looks at me weirdly before focusing back on the road.
"Ashton? Remember he's sleeping over at Jose's house and my parents are picking him up for us. Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." For the rest of the drive were silent as I eat my food.
We arrive in campus soon and Rylan grabs my hand and we head inside to the library. He waves to a table of kids in the back. When we reach the table he greets them.
There's Maeve, a fiery Irish redhead; Carlotta, a quiet Puerto Rican dancer; Takeshi, a thoughtful Japanese pre-med student who happens to be Maeve's boyfriend.
"H-" I begin to talk before I'm cut off.
"Roxanne! Roxanne! Wake up!" What?
I look around the room. I'm home.
"Finally! It's late, you're very late and I showered already and you didn't hmm are you going to start slacking off Rox?" Ashton sat on my chest as he teased me.
"Whatever munchkin, now move I got to get ready!" I quickly took a shower before throwing on some clothes. I made toast with strawberry jam and orange juice and we're on our way.
That dream.....what a dream. That had to be the best dream I've ever had. It was like I was finally truly happy. I guess dreams are dreams for a reason though.
