Sweet Dreams

Pinky Promise

Alyssa

It's dark out, I look over to see Dan laying there smiling, his laugh its just so perfect. We were sitting on his car in my yard. He leaned over and kissed me.. I feel butterflies in my stomach. Wooh, he's amazing. He's making all of my pain go away like nothing bad ever happened... looking up at the sky, I whisper, "I love staring at the stars, it makes me forget everything for a little while you know." He stared at me smiling for a long time. "What?" I say to him. "Oh its nothing, just little things you say make me fall for you even more. You're just so perfect." Perfect. This moment is perfect. "Alyssa..."

Wait.. That was just a dream. I wake up to reality hearing my name come from my mom's mouth. My eyes are super sore, it's probably from last night. Honestly I feel like I have no feelings anymore after that. I just want to go home and sleep. Forever.

I look over to see my mom smiling at me. "Good morning beautiful, so Dr. Harmon told me everything that happened. It's weird.. But honestly I don't want to question it because.. She is looking at me weird.

"Have you been crying? Is there anything you want to talk about...?" I start to feel tears streaming down my face. I can't help it, I wish I could stop. She comes and lays down beside me hugging me tightly.

"What happened Alyssa?" She says sweetly sitting up to look at me. "When I went to Jessie's yesterday... I found him with some.. girl." Simple and to the point. Even tho I choked on the last few words, I think she understands.

"Sweetie, I'm sorry. I hate to see you like this.. How about we go get something to eat. Just you and me. We can have a girls day out?" I can tell she's not sure what to say but at least she's trying. I just want this pain to go away. I would never wish this on anyone. I shake my head and force a smile for her. Is this how it's gonna be from now on? Me forcing a smile on my face to make others happy. My mom hugs me again for a long time.

Dad comes walking in seconds later. "Are you two almost ready?"

He looks at me and my mom. "..Is everything okay?" I'm now gathering my things finally not crying anymore but as you can see my dad has noticed I was crying. But honestly I could care less anymore about people finding out.

"Umm.. Yes everything is fine Jim. I think Alyssa and I might have a girls day out." Dad just kind of looked at my mom as she said this.

"Alright well you guys can drop me off at the house, I need to be getting to work soon anyways." He says walking over giving us a big Stiles family hug. Those never get hold and honestly I need them now more than ever.

Walking out the door of the hospital my phone starts to ring. My Mom has it, she hands it back to me as we get in the car. I look at the phone to see that it's Katie. We've been friends since diapers and honestly I'm surprised I don't have a billon missed calls from her. I don't want to spend today with my mom. I need my best friend. Maybe if I just talk her I can feel a little better.

"Hey Katie. What's up?" I say into the phone lightly. "Oh my god. I'm so happy to hear your voice. And what do you mean 'what's up' jesus Alyssa I thought you were gonna die or something." She can be a bit crazy sometimes and unpredictable that's why I love her. She wouldn't be Katie without the unpredictable.

"Katie, calm down I'm perfectly fine.. I really need someone to talk to. Wanna see if you can come stay tonight? Mom is that okay?" Mom looks back and mouths the word 'yes' and I can hear Katie over the phone asking her mom.

"She said it's fine with her. You're gonna tell me everything. And you know I'm always here for you. But I'm on my way. See you in a few." Katie hung up the phone before I could reply.

By the time I got off the phone with Katie, we were passing the place where the accident happened. This place gives me the creeps. Not because I got in the accident but because I actually dreamt about the accident before it happened. I don't understand. I start feeling around my pockets and find the note that Dan left me with his number on it. He seemed like a really sweet guy and I can't stop thinking about all the dreams I keep having of him. And how did I heal after he touched me...? This is why I'm creeped out. I'm definitely going to text him later after I talk to Katie. I'm not sure if I can tell Katie. Not yet anyways. She might think I'm going insane, which I feel like I am. Maybe Dan will be able to explain this to me.

I look up and see my mom looking back at me. She said something but I didn't catch what she said. "So are we going to do the girls day another day?" She repeated, I think she noticed I wasn't listening.

"Yeah if that's okay with you. I just wanna talk to Katie." I reply to her.

"Alright well you girls let me know if you guys need anything. Jim, what are you doing at work today?" She looked at my dad who was concentrated on the road. He his light hair shined as the sun peaked through the window.

He looked at my mom. "I just have to work on this car and I should be done for the day."

We pulled into our driveway and Katie was sitting on her car. She got a big smile on her face and ran to me. "Don't you ever scare me like that again. What happened exactly?"

We walk into my room and sit on my bed. I tell her everything from the beginning. The only part I left out was Dan. I'm not sure how she'd react to that.

"That slut. She literally sleeps with everyone. Alyssa honestly I think you are way to beautiful and way to smart for that asshole. And honestly you can do way better. It'll get better trust me. I'm just happy your okay, you could have gotten seriously hurt!" She's basically saying all the same things my mom said. "Look I know it hurts now. But it won't in a couple of weeks.. Just try to meet new people!"

She's insane. It's literally been a day. I mean of course I'm never going to give him another chance. But I just feel like it's way to early. "Don't you think it's to early to be thinking about that..?" Well at least I'm not crying. I think it was best for us to break up.

"Of course not. I'm sure it'll be easy for you to find someone new. With your long pretty blonde hair and blue eyes. Guys dig that. I'm totally jealous." Why is she jealous, look at her. She's just as pretty, long dark brown hair and green eyes that look so beautiful. We literally have gone threw alot together. I have no Idea what I'd do with out her.

"Katie why would you of all people be jealous of me. Seriously. Hey how about we watch a movie!"

I just want to lay here. I might take her advice and I'm gonna text Dan! Maybe. I'll think about it.. after all if my dreams are starting to come true maybe that one from last night will.

"I'm feeling Mean Girls, I can never get tired of that movie!" I smile already having that movie in my hand. We are the same person. I start laughing. "Thanks for being here for me Katie."

She smiles and says "Pinky promise, remember?"

When we were little we made a promise to each other to always be here for eachother no matter what. Honestly I think I might be feeling a little better. Let's see how long this last.
