~Your pov~

"Julian...?"

You opened your eyes to the bright light of a hospital room. "Julian, is that you?"

Julian was standing in the doorway staring at you, motionless. His expression was sad and regretful. "Julian?" You asked. "Is something wrong?"

Suddenly he stumbled forward, as if he had been hit or kicked by someone.

"Julian-" you gasped. You tried to sit up, but you couldn't move. Then a female figure stepped out from behind him into the light. Mia.

"You..." you growled, glaring.

"Me?" Mia replied. She looked down at Julian, who was on all fours, and smirked. She pulled back her foot and kicked him hard in the chest. He gasped.

"JULIAN!" You yelled. "Mia, what are you doing?!"

But Mia just laughed and kicked Julian again. Julian groaned and doubled over. Mia stepped back, glanced at you, and looked back at Julian. "Aw. I'm sorry babe," Mia soothed, bending down and gently grabbing his hands and setting him upright. "Did I hurt you?" She squeezed the sides of his face with her hand, pulled him up partway, and slung him across the floor. Julian whimpered as he hit the chair and you saw a tear roll down his cheek.

"Mia, please stop!" You cried helplessly, tears pooling in your eyes as well. "You're hurting him!"

"I'm not hurting him, sweetie." She made an innocent face and stood up. After another brutal kick to Julian's chest, she pulled out a pocket knife. "You are."

"What do you mean?" You asked, your eyes widening at the sight of the knife, your body shaking with sadness, anger, and confusion. "I don't understand what's happening."

"Neither do I," she responded. She grabbed Julian's shirt collar with her free hand and pulled him up carelessly. Then, holding the knife to his throat, turned to you. "It's you or him. Your choice."

Your eyes darted from her face to Julian's, the knife to the door, hoping someone had heard your cries and had come to see what was happening.

"Hurry up sweetie, tick tock." She pressed the blade of the knife to Julian's neck, and you saw a little speck of blood drip down his neck. Worried to death, you quickly made up your mind.

"Me," you said. Julian suppressed a muffled "no," but you ignored him, staring Mia in the eye.

"You?"

"Yeah. Hurt me all you want, but don't touch Julian."

"If you say so..." Mia shoved Julian onto the ground and gave him yet another kick. Then she walked over to you, standing on the left side of the bed and still holding the knife. "Let's make this nice and easy, shall we?" She grabbed your left arm and held it up, despite the fact that you couldn't move. You tensed as she put the tip of the knife just below your wrist. Then she slowly pulled the knife down your arm, laughing as you screamed in pain.

Then suddenly, she stopped, halfway down your lower arm. You whimpered in pain and gasped, still unable to move, and tears streaked down your face. "That's all for tonight, but if you keep this up with Julian, you'll be hurting much more than now, and not just physically." She put the knife back in her pocket, turned, and giving Julian a final kick and earning a groan, left the room. Suddenly you could move again.

Despite the pain in your arm, you stumbled out of bed and ran over to Julian, who was curled up on the floor in agony. "Julian..." you whispered, hunching down over him. "Julian?"

Then Julian's eyes flitted open and he stared deeply into your eyes. "Y/n..." he mumbled.

"It'll be okay, the doctor will be here soon..." You sobbed, grateful he was still alive.

"Y/n....y/n....-"

"-Y/n? Y/n! Can you hear me?!"

You snapped open your eyes with a jump. Julian's face was only inches from yours, looking nervous and disheveled, and his clothes wrinkled and hair messy. He must have stayed here overnight.

It had been a dream.

"J-Julian!" You exclaimed, relief flooding through you. "You're not hurt!"

"H-hey, y/n. And, uh...no, I'm not hurt," he replied, surprised at your sudden outburst. "Are you feeling better?"

"Mh-" you started to agree but cut yourself off when a jolt of pain shot through your arm as you tried to move it. "Owh!" You winced and grabbed your arm.

Julian winced too and squinted his eyes. "The doctor said it should heal quickly," he assured after a moment. He bent over the examination table you were lying on and lightly kissed your forehead. You smiled despite your pain, feeling blood rush to your cheeks.

But that dream...what did it mean?

~~~

Gaspo! You just had an extremely unsettling dream! But what did it mean? Is Mia plotting to kill you? Or worse, Julian? Probably not, but still, you never know...
