"I'm home." I announce as I walk through the door and take my jacket off.

"Hey sweetie I made supper if you're hungry." Mom said looking at me from the living room.

"Thanks mom but I already ate at church, we had pizza." I say and flop down on the couch next to her.

"What happened to make you so sluggish?" She asks and turns down the TV.

"I saw Brandon," I say as I look at the ceiling.

"So, shouldn't that make you happy?" She asks curiously. I sigh and say

"Yea it did at first but then we shook hands and I had an awful vision."

"What happened in your vision?" She asks and sits up straighter.

"I changed him and he was beating me." I say and turn my head to see my mom's wide eye expression.

"He was beating you?" She asks making sure she heard me correctly, I nod letting her know that she heard me correctly.

"Well then." says and turns back to the TV and picks up the remote.

"You know I hate him now right?" She asks and changes the channel.

"Yup." I say and watch to see what she picks to watch. We sit quietly watching TV together until 10:00 and head to bed.

I'm in a beautiful room filled with candles and rose petals but the most magnificent thing in the room is the bed it is a four post bed with white lace curtains surrounding it. I look around to find someone and see a tall buff figure near the bathroom door that has rose petals leading to it. I walk closer to see who it is but it's too dark to distinguish his face but the light of the candles danced in his perfect brown eyes. They are so familiar, like I've seen them before, but one thing's for sure it's not Brandon, no, when I look into Brandon's eyes I feel nothing but cold hatred, but theses I feel so warm and safe with them watching over me. Suddenly his hand rises and he places it on my cheek it's so warm and comforting, I can't help but close my eyes and lean my face into his hand. I feel his thumb move to my lips then he starts to pull my face to his, my lips part in anticipation of kissing a man I can't see but yet feel so safe with. I close my eyes and start to rise on my tiptoes to reach his lips. We're so close I can feel his breath against my lips and I feel my heart pounding so hard it might burst, and finally after such long anticipation he......

My alarm clock wakes me from my wonderful dream, I make the maddest face I can at that moment and smack the clock off of my night stand and start thrashing in anger and sadness at the fact that such a wonderful dream came to an end before I was ready. I huff and throw the covers off of me and reluctantly get out of bed and go down stairs.

"Good morning honey how did you sleep?" Mom asks as I enter the kitchen.

"I slept great what about you?" I ask as I look in the fridge for some chocolate milk.

"I slept great too." She says and grabs me a cup for my milk.

"Good." I say and pour the milk in the cup and grab another cup for her so she can have some milk too. I hand her the cup and lean against the counter and start drinking my milk.

"Thank you." She says and leans against the counter drinking her milk. I look at the clock on the wall and realize that I have to be at work in an hour. I sigh drain the last of my milk and head back up to my room to start getting ready for work.

                                                                  *Skip To Work XP*

"Hey Angel." Kane says as I walk through the door.

"Hey Kane." I say with a yawn as I walk to the counter and sit behind the register.

"You tired?" He asks as I lean against my hand and let out another yawn.

"Yea kinda." I say as a Shelley walks into the store.

"Hey Shelly." Kaine and I say at the same time.

"Hey guys." She says as she walks to the back of the store to look at shoes.

"I hate this job." I say and turn to look at him.

"Well then why don't you quit?" He asks as another customer comes into the store.

"Hello welcome to Forever 21." I say to the lady as she walks past me, she gives me a smile and a nod and walks to the purse rack. I turn back to Kaine and say.

"Because if I quit where's the money gonna come from till I find a new job."

"True." He says nodding in agreement.

"Hey wait don't you have your bartending licence?" He asks and stands up straighter.

"Yea why?" I ask curiously.

"Because I know a bar downtown that needs a bartender.

"Really?" I ask surprised.

"Yea, my friend John owns the place I could talk to him for you if you'd like maybe even put in a good word for you." He says and leans back against the wall. I look at him puzzled.

"What's the catch?" I ask leaning on my knees.

"What a friend can't help a friend?" He asks feigning innocence, I look at him and raise one eyebrow.

"Oh alright the catch is if I get you the job you have to give me free drinks." He says and holds out his hand ready to make a deal. I ponder the idea for a second then shake his hand and say.

"Deal."

"Good." He says his eyes alit with excitement.

"Mhm." I say and turn around to check out the lady who walked in not long ago.
