A Sweet Memory (completed)

Lucid Dreams

// "Don't wait until its to late to tell someone how much you love, how much you care. Because when they're gone, no matter how much you shout or cry they won't hear you" //

*Toms POV*

I wake up extremely hung over... I don't remember drinking last night. I pulled the cover off me to revile the same clothes I wore the night Kayla got hit. 

"What the hell" I whispered to myself. I get up out of bed and walk downstairs to see the house a mess. There were beer bottles and trash everywhere. 

"What the hell is going on" I started to freak out a little bit. I quickly walked into Sams room, he was still asleep with Emilie by his side. 

"Sam wake up!" I yelled 

Sam jumped awake, "Oi Tom bloody hell" 

"Sam what happened last night, I remember getting back from the hospital and then going right to sleep"

"Tom what are you talking about, you never went to the hospital last night"

"Yes we did, we went to visit Kayla" I started to yell causing Em to wake up

"Tom its too early for this" She groaned

"Emilie didn't we go to the hospital yesterday to see Kayla" 

"Tom you saw Kayla last night but she was here at the party"

Here. Party... Omg

"What's today" 

"Its the 20th of December"

the 20th... December... no

"No No No it can't be, Its The 8th of July"

Emilie and Sam looked at each other, " Tom do you feel well"

"I feel fine Em" I snapped

"Hey dude calm down" Sam snapped back

I opened my mouth to say something but my phone started to ring. I looked at the screen to see Kayla's mom name flash across the screen, I answered the phone. 

"H-hello" I answered

"Tom..." She said it sounded like she's been crying, " Its Kayla... Tom, she got hit by a semi truck, she didn't make it, Tom my baby is dead" She started to sob

I dropped my phone and stood there for a second before I felt the weight on my knees become too much and I go crashing down to the floor. I hear sam run over to me and Emilie picking up the phone. The voices around me became faint.

"Tom, Thomas" I could hear Sam say, my eyes became cloudy with tears. How is this possible, I was just with her at the hospital... was this all just a dream... but it felt so real.

I heard Emilie scream, she sounded like she was in just as much pain as me. Before I knew it I felt two arms wrap around me, causing me to pull back to reality.

"Shes really went" I whispered before letting a few small sobs escape my lips, soon those small sobs turned into a full-on break down between Sam, Emilie and I. 

We just sat on the ground holding each other.

*Time skip 2 weeks later*

"Oi Tom you ready, we have to leave now if we want to be on time" I heard Harrison yell.

"Yeah, I'm coming" I shouted back. I stared at myself in the mirror, I was wearing a black suit. My eyes slowly drifted down the tie I was wearing... it was the same one I wore when I took Kayla to prom.  I felt a small tear escape down my cheek but I quickly whipped it away. 

I Headed down the stairs to see my whole family in the living room, they were all also dressed in black. 

"Tom, darling..." My mom said with a sad smile

"Well come on guys, we don't want to be late," I said bluntly before walking out and heading towards the car. 

We drove in silence to a small beach about an hour away. We got out to see quite a large number of people on the beach.  Everyone got out of the car and started to head towards the beach. But for some reason, my legs wouldn't move, I felt stuck, just staring at the crowd of people.

I felt a hand on my shoulder causing me to turn my head to see who it was, Emilie was standing there with a small smile, but her eyes were filled with pain.

"Come on Tom, it's about to start," she said quietly before taking my hand and leading me down to the beach. 

After everyone arrived Kayla's mom walked out in front of us.

"Good morning everyone" she took in a deep but shaky breath, "if you are here today then you meant a lot to Kayla... Kayla was taken from this world all to early, she had so many things she wanted to do, but the number one thing she always wanted to do was travel the world. She was such a bright kid and turned into a beautiful young woman. Darling if you can hear me know that I love you, along with everyone else here today. " 

Kayla's brother walked out holding an Erin, he handed it to Ms. Brown. 

"Kayla, darling, travel the world" She whispered before opening the erin and dumping the ashes, the wind caught them, drifting it away. 

My heart ached, I lost my best friend and the love of my life. Why was I stupid, why did I leave her in that airport... why did I leave her.
