"Come on! Hurry!" Ashton shouts at me and Sam to walk faster but we both purposely walk slower.

"Come on, I wanna go play Fortinite!" Ashton shouts more.

We eventually reach the door. I reach in my pocket to grab my house key and unlock the door.

"Yes!" Ashton runs down the hall straight to the basement.

"I'm gonna go finish my book." Sam says walking up stairs and I can hear him shut his door.

"Hmm." I sigh as I pull out my phone and look that I have no notifications.

"Wow, this is... beautiful." I say talking to myself.

I walk up towards the glowing tree and suddenly I notice the roses growing around the tree, even growing in the little stream rushing from underneath the tree.

The roses are red and white, perfectly all the same color there's no mixed colors.

"Help..." a whisper calls out.

I look around for the a person but nobody is here.

"Help me in reality." The whisper calls out again.

"What?" I say.

Suddenly I wake up in a jolt. I look at the alarm clock, 11:23 am.

I take a deep breath and get up.
