I have decided that I'm gonna try this new thing out, where I have like a quote for each chapter. It's either gonna describe parts of it, be used in it, or summarize it. Plus, I think it's super cool to see an author use a quote you know. I always feel really accomplished whenever I actually understand a reference. So look for stuff you know!

"They say that dreams are memories.
Memories of another life."

Four POV
The rain drenches me, as it pours relentlessly. It rages on, showing no sign of stopping.
I slowly walk up the aisle toward the casket where my mother's body lays. Her body is the only dry one here, protected by a small tarp set up above her. I watch as she lies, motionless.
A bouquet of flowers rest on her, wilting. I gently slip her my note, underneath her hand, shielded from anyone else.
I lower my head and give her a kiss. My lips rest on her cold, smooth forehead. A tear falls, it lands on her cheek, and disappears.
My mother had died unexpectedly from a strange disease. One minute she's alive, the next she's gone forever.
"Help me," is all I whisper, low enough for only her to hear.
My mother died exactly 6205 days ago, on my 4th birthday. My father followed, 16,872 hours after that dreadful day.
I've had nightmares almost daily since then. My fears would greet me the second my eyes closed, and they stayed until I woke up. Sometimes, it would get so bad, I'd be too scared to even sleep. But tonight was different, I didn't have a nightmare, I dreamt instead.
About her.
The girl of my dreams. I barely know her, yet she's already started to change my life.
I groggily get up, vaguely remembering my dream.
I was looking at what seemed to be sky, but as I got farther and farther away from it, I realized what it was.
An eye.
It stared back at me with such intensity, I remember staggering backwards and falling down. When I was on the ground, I had seen that there were actually two eyes.
They were a bright ocean blue, I had actually thought it was the ocean for a sec. But I can recall that I thought it was the sky, because of a light gray mixed here and there, like clouds. The face started to grow smaller, but only enough for me to see a quick flash of blonde hair.
The face continue to grow smaller, until I'm able to see the whole body. It's a beautiful girl, a girl I recognize. The last thing I remember, was the girl leaning in, and whispering, "Help me."

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
Zeke pulls me into a bear hug, while Uriah pounces on me. We had arranged to carpool to school, you know, to save gas and the environment.
I am really regretting it.
"I thought you guys would forget." I mutter breaking apart from the group hug. I put my backpack down and climb into Zeke's car.
