Caitlin's POV

*GASP*

I breathe out and sit up. I see Peyton in a chair across the room looking at me in shock.

"Cait? KOALA YOU'RE OKAY!" She exclaims.

I look down and see I'm in a hospital bed and in a polka dotted gown.

"What happened? Where are the boys?" I ask.

"You passed out in Panera, I don't know why though. And who are you talking about, what boys?" She asks.

"Peyton don't be stupid. You know who I'm talking about," I tell her, trying to make her crack.

"No, I really don't. Should I get the nurse? I think you bumped your head when you fell," she asks.

"Ha, ha very funny Pey. Now quit joking around. Where are the boys?" I ask one more time.

"Caitlin I seriously don't know who you're talking about," She tells me straight.

"Why Don't We? Jonah, your boyfriend? What about Lili? Or Brynn? You remember them right?" I ask her in panic.

"Cait, you're scaring me. And I'm sorry but I don't. And trust me if I had a boyfriend I would remember," She answers.

Was all just a dream? Did I make all of this up? How did I dream almost a year of my life in less than a day? This can't be happening. What about Jack, I thought we were in love.

I feel a tear slip down my cheek.

"Aww Cait are you alright?" Peyton asks.

I don't answer, I put my head in my hands and continue to cry. It was all a dream?

"Cait, Cait, c'mon get up. Babe?" I hear a guys voice ring through my ears.

I open my eyes and see Jack. OH THANK GOD IT WAS A DREAM!

I turn and wrap my arms around him.

"Woah, hey there. Everything okay?" He asks with a concerned look on his face as he pulls away.

"Yeah, it's just I had this dream that we never met, you guys were never there when I passed out at Panera, Lili and Brynn were never here... and you didn't even know I existed," I say slowing down towards the end. During this entire time I don't make eye contact with Jack out of fear. Not of him, just that this might not be real either.

"Hey," He says trying to get my attention. "Hey, look at me," He says, but not in a demanding way, but in a gentle and soft tone.

I finally look up at him with worry in my eyes.

"I'm not going anywhere, ok? I promise. I'm right here, I'm all yours," He assures me.

I just nod in response.

"Ladies and gentlemen please fasten your seatbelts as we are approaching landing," I hear on the overhead speakers of the plane.

Ciao Loves,

Really short and really shitty update. I didn't want to go too long without updating so here is a shirt filler chapter. If I have time I will update again tomorrow or Tuesday, but on Tuesday there is a football game so I get home at 7:00 so I don't know.

-xoxo Corinne
