As the days passed by my dreams became more vivid and consistent. I didn't know who the guy in my dreams was or what they meant, I just wanted them to stop. Each night waking up at 11:06 was getting tired some. I tried everything no matter how tired I was, I always ended up waking at the exact same time. I began to write down my dreams in a journal that I kept on my night stand, there I was able to record my dreams like a story and piece the episode together . From the past week I was able to figure out the guy's name Kris, however I still had no clue why I'm having these dreams.

I was already washing my makeup off in the bathroom, the local news was on and I could hear the wind howling softly outside. I applied my skin care and went downstairs to fill up my water bottle, walking downstairs I overheard my mom softly sobbing to herself. I peeked around the corner of the kitchen and heard her talking to my father. I only heard things in pieces, "how did she fall.. *inaudible* had a stroke?!." The sound of heartbreak filled the air, I knew who they were talking about now; my dad's mother. She has been traveling back and forth from El Salvador to California several times this year. She had been cleaning houses ever since Ive known her, cleaning enormous houses in Long Beach, California. I stood there in shock, I didn't know what to feel, how to react. "She's having hip surgery, ... a plate in her arm..?" I silently went back upstairs and stared outside. I felt this immense weight being pushed upon my chest, I didn't know or understand this foreign feeling. I sat there in a daze for a while until the sound of my phone receiving a message caught my attention. Dad: Mija, your grandma is sick, she fell and she's going to have surgery. I looked at the text in utter silence, again that uninvited feeling made it's way around my neck and strangled me with no warning. I didn't know what to do, she wasn't my favorite grandmother, but she's still my family and I know that I would miss her if she passed. Suddenly all the memories that we had made flooded my mind. Her cooking which I loved so much, how she would always want Chinese food after mass. I began to tear up until my door opened slightly. I quickly wiped the stray tears that managed to escape. So many emotions came crashing all at once and yet.. all I could about was him. Some guy named Kris that I didn't know in my dreams, yet when I thought of him I felt comfort. I didn't know who this guy was but in this moment in time, I felt.. love.

I looked at the clock as it stroke 11:00 PM, I layer my head flat on my desk and began day dreaming. "Seventeen" I though, wow in an hour I'll be 17. At this exact same moment, a wave of sadness pulled over me. I didn't think anything of it but I knew it had to do something with her.
11:58 PM
I sat on the roof top just below my room's balcony, feet dangling , the wind howled in the distance and snow wrapped itself around me. I held the cigarette box in one hand and my lighter in another, one for good luck I thought. I pulled out my last cigarette, the one I had been saving, the one he had on him. I looked up at the sky snow flakes gently fell on my face. I ignited the cigarette and took a puff, my phone read 12:00 AM. I laughed at my self and said "Happy Birthday kiddo" I'm such a pathetic tone. I felt someone tug on my feet below, I scrunched my face and looked down. Jackson .?! .

*gasp* the smell of smoke suffocated me, I rose up from my bed and looked outside. There was no one insight, just snow and the moonlight. The toxic smell of smoke, the one smell that was able to drive me mad; along with gasoline. I began to fall back asleep, I suddenly woke up again in what seemed like a dream. It was the guy on a roof top, smoking..? Am I dreaming or is this really happening? Am I really here.? I didn't know what else to do but watch him. Another guy came and they both went inside.
