Chapter 1.

Zoey's POV
It was a hot sunny day here in Arizona. It's always been so hot here. I always wondered why my parents chose to live in such a scorching place like here. I was in a familiar place but I couldn't put my finger on what this place was. There were children running around, couples holding hands, butterflies and birds flying around. It was a very pretty atmosphere. I realized I'm at the park. My favorite park, to be exact. I was walking around admiring all the different things that were there.

I saw alot of kids riding bikes, roller skating or riding a skateboard. I saw this adorable boy on his skateboard. He had blonde/Brown straight hair. And he had beautiful brown eyes. He was really good at riding a skateboard, for such a young boy. I've seen him at my school before, but I've never realized how cute he was. He was staring at me, just much as I was at him.

I'm not really sure why but I got really nervous as he started walking towards me. He flashed me an adorable smile as he headed towards my direction and I flashed one back at him. "Hey there." the boy said really shy like with a small grin. I still can't believe he's talking to me. What cute boy like him would want to talk to someone like me?

"Hi." I was mentally slapping myself for how awkward I sound. "I'm Jason. What's your name?" I could see him being a Jason, it suited him well. "I'm Zoey. Not to be mean or anything but why are you talking to me?" As soon as I said that, I regretted my words. Jason giggled a little and said with a smile "Because I can't let someone as pretty as you slip from my hands." that caused me to blush instantly.

I was trying to hide my face and he just smiled and he held out his hand as if he wanted to hold my hand. I took his offer and put my hand in his. I know it sounds stupid, considering I just met him. But being a 12 year old, I don't know any better. The rest of the day we walked around and got to know each other really well. And I think I have a small crush on him. His personality is incredible. And his looks are a real big bonus. This is all too good to be true. However, I liked having a guy friend.

Suddenly, everything disappeared and went black. What the heck happened? "He's gone, why are you doing this to yourself?" That stupid voice was once again back in my head.

"What the hell do you want now? You aren't helping anyone here!" I yelled. I now realized I was dreaming. This is how my dreams are most of the time, but I couldn't wake myself up. No matter how hard I tried, my body would not wake up. It's like my body wants to hear all the stuff this idiotic voice has to say.

"I'm trying to get you over this guy! He's gone! You can't change the past! Grow the hell up, Zoey! He's not worth it!"

"He is too! I don't care what you say!" And then my dream came back. I could see everything. Only, this time it was a nightmare.

I started walking around this unfamiliar place. I've actually never seen this place before. It was so ghetto though. It looked like a place where people would get beaten up, have things stolen, etc. I didn't like this atmosphere at all. It made me really uncomfortable and scared. I kept walking, I had nothing else to do. After I walked about a block I heard some noise.

"Hello? Who's there?" I asked in a whisper tone. No one answered. But the noise happened, once again.

"Who's there?" And no one answered again. I was about to say it one more time until someone grabbed me and pinned me up to a wall. I couldn't see who it was at first, but they were holding a gun to my head.

"If you scream, I kill you." I knew that voice all to well. It was him.

"I told you, he was no good for you." The voice came back.

"Dammit Zoey wake up! This isn't real! You know this isn't like him!"

And with that he punched me and knocked me out.

I woke up in a panic. I was sweating, breathing extremely hard, and I had tears running down my face. It was almost as if that voice was trying to tell me something. Only I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on. It was about 4:00 in the morning, and I was waking up from another nightmare. I was used to it by now. This happens almost every night.

I didn't blink. I didn't say anything. I brought my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them and cried. Cried more tears, and more tears. I don't understand why this happened to me. But, it did. And the more my mind thinks about it, the more it hurts. Maybe this is all just in my head.

Or maybe reality isn't anything like the movies.
