Just a Dream

Our moment

I woke up in my bed and I could actually walk. I walked out to see my mom and Mrs. Daylock sitting at the counter.

"Honey are you alright?! My mom asks.

"Yes mom, I'm alright."

"Alright good."

Mrs. Daylock looks at me and gives me a hug.

"I was so worried about you Paisley. But you won't have to worry about principle stone, he's taken care of and we got you a new principle, someone you'll be safe with. He's a dear friend of mine. You have to go to school or people will know something's up. I'm getting nervous about you being out in public by yourself. If your told principle was a dream catcher, anyone else could be. Play everything safe."

********************

To be honest, I was really nervous to go back to school. The only good part about going back to school is that Drew will now be at school. But in a wheelchair. I explained everything to Drew that morning about what happened. She ended up canceling on the dress shopping because she had a doctor's appointment. We got to Mrs. Daylocks class and the new principle called me out. I looked at Mrs. Daylock and she gave me a nod. I went out and he shook my hand.

"I'm principle Smith." He smiled. "And I'm a dreamer as well." He gives me a wink and I know he's safe.

"If you ever need anything, tell me. I'm here to protect you."

It was really nice knowing I had more people to trust now.

"Hey paisley!" Lance said.

We wern't officially a couple yet and I wondered when we were going to have that spark, that moment.

"I was wondering if you wanted to head out to dinner with me tonight?"

"I would love to!" I responded.

It was set and I was so excited. This was our first date and we were going to a really nice restetaunt. Drew wheelchaired over to me and we silently celebrated.

School got over and I drove home. Pushing in te gas petal hurt because of my scrape on my leg from the Mr. Stone accident. When I got home, I told my mom that I was going on a date with lance and before I knew it, Lance was knocking on my door.

When I opened the door he was in a black suit with his hair spiked in the front. He looked very handsome!!

"Hey Paisley, you look beautiful." Lance grins.

"Thank you." I blushed. I blushed hard. I think I was falling for him.

Lance helped me into his car and we drove off to my favorite place to eat. We got out of the car and lance grabbed my hand. I smiled at him to tell him I liked it.

"So do you like this place?" Lance asked.

"It's my favorite place to eat!!" I shouted a little to loudly.

We ordered our meals and began eating. We shared jokes and laughed and I was truly having an amazing time.

"Paisley, I really like you." Lance said.

This caught me off guard. I really like him too, but I couldn't get the words out.

"I really like you too lan-

Pain. All I can explain is pain. The sound of a bullet rang in my ear and the next thing I new, I was grabbing the side of my head. Blood was everywhere and at first, I didn't understand what happened. I fell out of my chair onto the ground and was screaming. Gasping for air, I cried for lance who was already at my side. He was holding my head up as he yelled for help. I couldn't help but touch my head. A piece of skin was standing straight up. My purple dress was ruined with blood gushing everywhere. Lance looked down at me and tears were falling from his eyes. A tear dropped on my forehead.

"PAISLEY, STAY WITH ME YOULL BE OKAY!" Lance was yelling in my ear.

He picked me up and ran me out the doors to flashing lights everywhere. Lance couldn't carry me anymore as he went into as much shock as I was in. He gently sat me down and put his arm under my head. I was halfway there and I was clenched in a ball. People seemed to be moving in slow mo and the world was spinning. I was dieing. I was dieing intill.... Lance looked at me. He closed his eyes and kissed me. This gave me air. It gave me a burst of energy and for that moment, I didn't feel my wound. I kissed him back with everything I had. The moment seemed to last so long untill my lips were torn apart from his. A paramedic grabbed me and was running me to the ambulance. Just as I was being taken away, lance whispered in my ear something I never thought I'd hear.

"I love you."

I wish I could have made that kiss longer. I would have laid there and died with lance.
