"Oh hey sweetie, whats up?"

He didn't even have the courtesy to raise his eyes from his study.

Great! Just great!

"Everything good, everything good." I said while I walked over to the two chairs in front of his desk and plopped onto one of them.

"Good," he nodded and then flipped to the next page, "and how is school?"

"It is good as well." I nodded, clicking my tongue, there is nothing in this world that I hate more than small-talks.

"Great honey, great." He nodded his head slowly.

We stayed in an eerie silence, I waited for him to break the ice. Which he did, but it was a little late.

"So Allie...." He looked up from his study, "What brings you here? -- Now?"

I don't know man, trust me I don't know.

"Umm... dad I wanted to talk to you ab-about something important. Very important...." I said, he nodded slowly, arching his eyebrows up in question. I was getting really anxious, trying to shrug the feeling off but failed badly at it. My legs were shaking horribly and I kept huffing and hissing.

"Sure honey, whats up? What's wrong?" he raised his eyes again and met mine. And was that concern I saw in there?

"Well you see.... I didn't think it was a big deal-- at all actually-- but almost all my friends and Andrew were on my back and kept pressuring me to come here and talk to you, and seriously I was like 'meh guys, it's no big deal'"I waved my hands in the air "and then they were like 'Allie-"

"Allie."

"Yes dad?"

"Get straight to the point." he said with a small smile . why on tophet are you smiling, old guy?

"Sure, okay." I chuckled nervously.

"So where was I?" I said "yeah ahh-yes. I came here to tell you that I have been receiving so far alot of.... dreams." I trailed off.

"We all get dreams, honey. What's your point?"

"Well you see, they are not -you know- 'good' dreams." I air quoted.

He looks baffled a little at my words and deep in thoughts as well. The expression on his face the 'my daughter is crazy' expression. Yep, that one you give people when you have no idea what the heck are they talking about. So I decided that its my cue to leave.

Can you even blame me?

"You know what, never mind-" I said as I stood up, ready to leave this room and never come back in here again.

I knew it was a bad idea. I thought to myself.

"-Forget about it."

"No no, sit back again." He said, I obeyed, sitting back down.

"So Allie can you....elaborate please. I mean, What do you mean by not 'good dreams'?"

"Nightmares." I stated cringing a little at it, or rather the thought of it.
