If I had a dream... (young Leonardo DiCaprio) [complete]

Day 7: after a week of my crazy dreams i feel okay

Today is such a beautiful day. It's Monday and I'm so happy to wake up at my bed, without any crazy ass dreams and just to see my parents and go to school. Sounds unusual, right? But since yesterday, I'm feeling so happy and grateful.

-what do you mean by saying 'you're my idols'? - I knew that the most of parents say that they're their kids' idols but my parents have never told me so.
-okay, Janet. Please, keep calm. Don't be mad at us. I mean, you have a right to be mad at us but... please... don't.
-I'll try. So what?
-that's crazy, I know...
-please tell me.

he hesitated, took my mother's hand and finally said:

-when I was 25, I met your mother. It were 90s and everything we were confused. You know... we were actors.
-ACTORS?? WHAT? But...
-let me tell you the full story. we were actors. famous actors. Your mother was a style icon of the 90s so...
-but the style icon of the 90s was Winona Ryder, wasn't she?
-yes. Please don't interrupt me...

He looked at my mum.
-So we met each other at the concert. Then we had a dinner with the candles on the roof.
-it was unforgettable night. We saw the sunset and just looked at night in the Los-Angeles. We felt freedom. We felt peace,- my mum said.

Suddenly I realized that I saw almost the same in my dreams. But I saw young Leo at the Britney Spears concert... then we went to the roof and there was a wonderful view of LA.

-I wish I can turn back time to that divine evening,- my dad said,- and... that's really hard to say...
-tell me. Please.

My mum started crying. She looked at me and said 'sorry'. I didn't know what was happening but I just hugged her. That's all what I could do.

Suddenly my dad said:

-we were Leonardo DiCaprio and Winona Ryder in past. But we changed our biography because it was very hard time for us.

I was shocked. I didn't say anything hoping it was just a joke. But it wasn't.

-that can't be truth,- that was all I could say,- I don't believe you.
-you have to. I just want to save you from your crazy dreams. I won't let you do the same mistake I did.
-SO WHAT DID YOU DO? WHAT?? OH YOU CHANGED YOUR BIOGRAPHY AND RAISED A CHILD THAT DIDNT KNOW WHO ARE HER REAL PARENTS, RIGHT?
-and I'm sorry. We just had no choice.
-YOU ALWAYS HAVE CHOICE. LEAVE ME ALONE.

I left my home and went to my treehouse. I didn't take anything. All I needed then was to be alone. I didn't know what I will do but I just needed to be alone.

I came back to my home at 11pm and I was sure that my parents will yell at me but they stayed calm. They were sitting in our living room and when they saw me they immediately ran to me and hugged me.

I was calm. One of the reasons why I love spending time in the treehouse was that it could calm me.

-Janet, we're really sorry. We just...
-it's okay,- I hugged them back and smiled,- please, tell me the full story of your life.

And they did. To be honest, I cried for about 10 times because it was so sad and at the same time I was proud of my parents. After that I loved my idols more than everything because 1) they're my parents 2) they did unbelievable things 3) they're such strong persons who deserve the world.

My parents, Jocelyn and Thomas Eddington are such strong people with such beautiful personalities. I'm proud to be their daughter. They inspired, are inspiring and will inspire me forever.
