Chpt 57: You're alive?

Anna's POV
I can't believe that she was gone. It all felt like a crazy dream. Michael came in and I looked for jessie. "Anna it's time" Mikey said as he came towards me. "Where jessie I-" "Anna it's time to wake" Michael said. "Michael stop where is-" "Anna Listen to me, I'm just a pigment of your imagination. None of this is real. your dreaming. right now I'm outside your body shaking you rapidly. you had a head ache at work and then passed out well working. Michael took you home, I mean I took you home. you laid in bed and Michael made you some soup. you passed out and he's worried. you have to get up before the ambulance comes" Michael said as he walked towards me. "How do I get up from this?" I asked. "Your lucid dreaming, you make the dream end" Michael said. I looked at him shaking my head. this isn't right. "Stop it Michael" I said. "Wake up, or else you'll end up in a hospital bed again, I'll help if you want" he asked. i shook my head and he came towards me with a knife. he stabbed my leg. Screaming i clenched my eyes shut.
"Anna?!? Thank god, I thought you weren't going to wake up. are you ok" Michael asked. "What's going on, where's Jessie. I-" "Jessie's with Elena" Michael said. "Elena's dead" I said. "We all wish she was sometimes, but she was just here to get jessie" Michael said. "Where am I??" I asked. "In our bedroom. today's December 20th. Anna what did you dream about?" Michael asked. "Elena, she hung herself and then we had to take care of jessie and Blaire and Calum were responsible for it. Where's Blaire" I asked. "In the living room" Michael said. I got up quickly and almost fell over. "Take it easy" Michael said. I came out and saw Blaire. she stood up and I hugged her. "anna. hey" Blaire said. "I had a dream we fought and didn't speak to each other for years" I said. "Well that sure as hell didn't happen" Blaire said as she hugged me back. "Anna can I talk to you, in private?" Calum asked. I nodded and looking at Blaire for approval. she smiled and he grabbed my wrist leading me outside. "You've been out for a week and 1/2. we didn't want to call anyone but now that you're ok I need to do something" Calum said. I furrowed my brows in confusion looking at him. "Calum if it's about how much you ca-" he paused me by starting to pace back and forth. "What's on your mind? You can tell me" I said. "Anna there's no other way to say this" Calum paused. "I- cal- w-" he paused by pressing his lips to mine. his arms wrapped around my waist as the snow fell around us. my body froze under his touch. he cupped my cheek with one of his hands. the other one held me tight to his waist. I pulled back and smacked him. "Calum you and Blaire-" "Anna we're leaving" he said. "You and bla-" "No. kelly is moving us back to Australia. all of us, Ashton Luke and Michael" he said. my heart fell. my breath hitched and I opened my mouth to talk but nothing came out. "Y-y-ou can't j-jUST LEAVE ME OR BLAIRE" I screamed out. I walked back in the house with Calum following me. "MICHAEL YOU CANT JUST LEAVE ME" I screamed. "Anna. it's not our choice" Michael said. "When are you leaving" I asked pacing. "T-
Tomorrow" Michael said. I looked around. "Is that why you have like nothing in here" I asked. "Theres a cab coming at midnight" Michael said. "Michael! That gives us 4 hours" I said. "We'll be back at midnight, come on Blaire" cal said as they closed the door. I ran my hand through my hair and sighed. "Are you packed?" I asked. "Yea." Michael said as an awkward silence filled the room. "What if I hadn't woken up? What? A note would be left explaining everything? Michael how do you expect this to work when your half way across the world" I said. "I don't know Anna" Michael said. "Maybe it's best if-" "Don't say it" Michael said. "Michael there is really no other way around this. different time zones. plus you'll meet new people and you'll forget all about me" I said as I held in tears. "can we lay?" Michael asked. i nodded and I laid on his chest in bed. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I wish I'd never woken up from my dream.
