Hello

  I stood at the edge of the water, the tide rising up and crashing at my feet. “They aren’t coming back you know…” A voice said softly behind me. I turned around on my feet, Alissa, Her fiery red hair, almost brown in the Cloudy light.

“Yea, I know, but hey I can wish.” I said quietly, returning my attention to the sea.

“Brandon, we’re worried about you, please come back.” Alissa said rubbing my shoulder.

 I jerked it away “I’m not coming back, not now, not ever. I can’t go back! There are too many memories!" I screamed sitting on the cold, wet sand..

 She sighed, sitting next to me " And you don't think that it dosn't hurt me too!" She screamed, i turned away from her, letting a tear escape my eye. " I lost two people today Brandon!, I lost my best friend and my boyfriend! I have no one left!" Her words stinging my heart like knives.

" You may have lost that Alissa, but you didn't lose someone that was basically your childhood friend!" I yelled back storming off to my hotel room. I didn't need all of her turmoil too! I've got enough of my own. I stormed into the Hampton Inn's lobby, clear anger in my face. I punched the "Up" button and stomped into the elevator,i pressed the button for the third floor and watched the doors close.

I slid my down the wall of the elevator, letting out a sigh as i did so. dink. Alissa was right i was overreacting, just like always. dink. The doors opened and i saw someone i wasn't expecting, Peyton, her Black and Blue hair, Cascading over her shoulders onto her black veil brides top. " Fancy meeting you here." She said smiling.

" Yea, Fancy that." I said standing up off the cold tile floor of the elevator.

" I have something i want to show you." She said grabbing my hand, leading my away from my room." Now I know it's not the exact thing you need right now, but..." She paused opening the door. "SURPRISE!" I hear people yell

Jonathon, Tylor, Megan, Erin, Norah,Lucas. They were all here. " Alissa?" I said looking around.

" Havn't seen her." Peyton said.

" I did, stormed away, things got complicated quick." I said bluntly, flipping my dark brown hair.

" WHAT?!" Erin yelled pushing me.

" What'd I do?!?" I said offensively.

" You know how she gets, she might try to kill herself!" she screamed running out of the room, Megan, Norah , and Lucas gave me a dirty look and left, running after Erin.

I plopped on peyton's bed and pulled my knees to my chest and the tears began to bubble up, if Alissa died it'd be my fault. i mean it was my fault Kaliegh and Matt died anyways, if i hadn't dared the to go on the superman they wouldn't have been decapitated, and i wouldn't be in this mess right now. " There , there." Peyton said, comfortingly rubbing my back.

" It's MY fault, all MY FAULT!" I screamed at myself " I should just die!" Jonathon and Tylor, their shocked and scared faces, dashed out of the room, leaving just me and Peyton, Alone in her hotel room.  I stood up, uncurling from my human ball. "I'd better go" I said, my voice gravely.

" No, I ca_" She started.

" Yes. YOU. CAN!" I said angrily, fleeing her room. I was running down the hall to my room at an almost inhuman speed, my converses' muffled slaps against the carpeted floor, faint against the shouting and screaming outside, I closed my eyes, letting the hot tears fly off my face. I stopped and opened my eyes to see if my room was near, 113, there it was, my eyes stung as the door swung open, it's hinges creaking.

I slammed the door shut, the sound echoing throughout the hallway and my dark room, i locked the door and groped around light switch, i felt a hard and cold plastic under my finger tips. aha. there it is, i looked around my room, one queen sized bed in the middle, a mini-fridge and a microwave in one corner, a small TV in another, and somewhere a small bathroom. I walked over to the bed and began to cry, my fingers running along the soft exterior of the quilt. I fell down my tears staining the blanket, the red turning black as night. I sat up and scurried to the end of the bed and snuggled under the covers, letting the warmth wrap me up like a bow then ship me off to this wonderful place called dream-land.

I was in the land of unicorns and gumdrops, away from everything bad, all my nightmares and fears wouldn't bother me here, this was my safe haven, or so i thought. i was laying on a cotton candy bed, covered in licorice, then i heard a moan, then a groan and everything went dark and suddenly i was laying on a bed of needles, strapped down with a lasar above me. " Welcome to my world." An evil ancient sounding voice said from behind me." Your probably wondering who i am." The man said walking in front of me, he was older and heavy, his hair turning silver.

"Yea. but why dont you tell me when I'm not going to DIE!" I said desperately trying to break the metal constraints that held me down, with no avail.

" I am an older you. you are a murderer, and we will rot in the underworld FOREVER!" Older me shrieked.

" Nooooo!"I screamed. I jolted up in bed, i was sweating like a hog, the blanket constricting my legs, my arms thrown behind me, holding me up.

I took off my blanket and looked around for the TV remote, I flicked it on and the local news was on " Local Teens found dead at beach late last night." The reporter said his calm expression just seeming too calm for something like that. Images flashed across the screen and i screamed, it was Alissa and Lucas. NO, NO, N-N-N-N-NOOOOO! THEY CAN'T BE DEAD, THEY JUST CAN'T BE! Peyton busted the door, basically off it's hinges " You Okay?" She asked panicked, trying to catch her breath.

"Look at the TV!" I screamed.

Her face went white and she froze "NO!" she wailed dropping to her knees.

I sat up in the hotel bed, perfect ( Well as perfect it can be after sleep), what?  It was a dream, but it seemed so vivid... I looked over at the digital alarm clock, on the nightstand beside me; 10:45, it wasn't even that late. i just might go back to sleep.... knock knock knock UGH, who could THAT be now!? I threw my body off the bed, and walked to the door. It was Peyton " Hey Brandon,....I got somw bad news....
