The Dream

Chapter 7

~ Lana is the girl on the top ~

"What's up?" I asked looking worriedly at him. Eric looked at me touching my face. "These past months have been amazing and, i love you more then anything you know that right?"

"Eric, what is it?" i ask a little more harshly then expected. "Are you breaking up with me?" "What no but... it's hard to say." "Look, i am transferring." "What... where?" "To New York my mom is up there and she needs me."

"Lana, please look at me." "How long?" I ask not looking up. "I leave tomorrow night." "And you wasn't going to tell me." i yell. "Lana please listen to me." "No... we've been dating for almost a year and you're just telling me this a day before you leave."

"I'm sorry.." "No." I shout yanking away from his touch as tears stream down my face. "You could've told me when you decided it not the day before you left me Eric." "I have to go." I sob walking to the door. "Look I love you Alana and that hasn't changed and never will." " Please  don't break up with me."

"You're leaving to another state Eric." "Long distance doesn't work out and I don't do cheating which will mostlikly happen." " I can't." I say closing the door behind me and sliding down it.

I get up almost coughing on my own tears and run straight into Alex who was with this tall pretty brunette girl.  "Lana." Alex said letting go of the girls hand and walking over to me. "Not now." I say running the other direction.

"Lana hold up." Alex said chasing after me. "Hey Lana my god what happened." Alex asked but instead of answering I grabbed him by the shirt slamming my body into him and crying harder. His arms tighten around me hugging me into him.

"I'm sorry." I apologized letting go. "It's okay, really it's fine are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine... i think me and Eric just broke up." "What... why.?" "Ask him." I sob still trying to catch my breath now that my tears slowed down.

"I gotta go." I say kissing his cheek softly. I hesitate before pulling away and run to my room. Running around the corner I stop shaking my thoughts out of my head before walking into my dorm.

Sarah and Kayla were sprawled out across the beds reading some magazine when I walked in. "Woah you look well alot of things." Kayla said putting the magazine down.

"What happened." Sarah asked getting up. "We broke up i think and i wanted to kiss Alex." I said sounding dead inside and confused. "Wait what?" Kayla replied walking me to my bed.

"So you and Eric broke up after 7 months and then you almost kissed Alex." "How and why did that happened." Kayla said who was now sitting on my bed.

"He's moving away to New York and he didn't tell me until now." I reply my voice getting louder as the shock wore off and anger replaced it. "Okay when is he leaving." "Tomorrow he's leaving tomorrow and he tells me today like i was going to be okay with it."

"Okay and the Alex thing?" "I almost kissed him." I look up at the girls who both looked surprised and confused at the same time. "But you didn't?" "No, i didn't i wanted to but me and Eric just broke up and i would never do that to him ever."

"Oh my god come here." Kayla comforted me yanking me into her arms. "I let her hug me which I gladly took and start bawling all over again." "Hey stop right now i hate seeing you this way."

I lay down on the bed the girls each beside me and fall asleep. I wake up to a arm over me and the sun shining into the room. I look over to see Sarah's face smothered into my neck with her arm tightly around me.

I smile gently moving her arm and sitting up. I look over and see Kayla passed out in her bed and look at the clock. 10:45 am. I smile at my best friends feeling dead inside still and walk outside.

Walking into the dorm hangout spot I sit down on the giant couch and flip on the TV snuggling into my blanket Eric gave me for our 6 month.  "Hey, it's Lana right?" I look up to see the pretty brunette from yesterday. "You're Alex's girlfriend right?" I ask sitting up.

"Not really I'm pretty sure he has feelings for you." "What makes you think that?" I ask looking over at her. "I can tell but what was wrong... you looked like you best friend died yesterday."

"Me and my boyfriend broke up i think." "You think?" she asked looking confused. "I'm Amara by the way." I smile and shake her hand Lana. "But wanna explain the whole thing." "He's transferring to New York." I sigh and look at my fingers.

"Okay so no long distance I'm guessing." "I'm not really into it so we got into a fight over it." "About him moving?" Amara asked. "No because he didn't tell  me until yesterday." "Oh when is he leaving." "Today around three i think he didn't really say he just said this tonight."

"Can i ask you something?" "Sure." I answer. "Do you love him?" "Yeah more then anything." "Then instead of being mad at him for not being here spend your last couple hours together." "It's obvious he loves you and you love him that's all that should matter."

"You're right." I smile getting up. "Go get your man. I hug her tightly running to the doors. I didn't stop until I hit the boys dorm room. I walked to his room knocking gently on the door.

"Hello." "Eric I'm so sorry I shouldn't have acted that way i love you and as long as you're happy then that's all that matters to me." "Lana I'm sorry i didn't tell you." "I didn't know how to." "I get it"  "I don't wanna leave you it's the last thing on earth i want to do but." "But your mom needs you Eric go help her."

"What time do you leave." "In like three hours." "Good." i smile pushing him into the room. Alex was in a early class which i already knew and at this point i didn't care. I lock the door and walk back up to him.

"I love you soo much." I say kissing him hard. He did even think twice about it. Pulling me into his body he kissed me back. I pulled back looking into his green eyes.

Taking my hands I slide them down his body to the ends of his shirt pulling it up and over his head. "Lana are you sure." Yes I reply locking my lips to his.

I jump up wrapping my legs around his body as he lays me gently down on the bed. I smile into his hand as he gently cuffs my face. You're so beautiful. I smile as i kiss his hand as he slowly unbuttons my shirt.

I connect our lips again and smile into the kiss this is finally happening I say. I roll over wrapping my arm around his bare body and smile leaning over and kissing his chest softly. "It's time to go." "I know." Eric said looking over at me. "I don't want to."

"I'll walk with you." I reply. "Okay let's go." We got dressed and walked to the door. A car was waiting for him outside the driveway to the college. "Don't forget me please." "I never can you're in my dreams." Eric smiled at me gently kissing me with such love that i didn't want to let go.

"I love you soo much Eric Michael Lowell." "I love you to Alana more then you will ever know." "Go before you're late." I say kissing him again. I watch the car drive away and feel a tear roll down my face. "You'll always have a piece of my heart."
