"Benji!" I yelled and ran up to him.

I engulfed him in a hug.

"I missed you so much!"

He pushed me away and looked at me with a confused expression.

"Uh- who are you?" He asked.

I felt my face turn white and my blood freeze.

No. This wasn't happening.

His eyes were studying me. He was being serious.

I don't know what to do.

"Benji-" I reached out to touch his arm.

He recoiled. "Stop! Don't touch me!" He glared at me.

Stop.

This wasn't real.

I have to wake up.

Wake up.

Wake up-

I sat up in bed breathing hard. These nightmares just wouldn't leave me alone.

I checked my phone. 3:55 am.

It was Monday. I have school tomorrow.

I laid back and stared at the ceiling.

We're gonna get him back. Addy and Evelyn were going to work with Ash and Vin to get Benji back.

He's going to remember. He's going to remember us.

I thought about graduation.

I never thought I would get to this point in my life.

That I might actually complete high school. Get my diploma. And then get a job.

Evelyn and I could find something to do together.

I just need to find out what.

Finals are in t minus 24 weeks. And in 25 weeks. I graduate.

Even though final testing was a while away I still wanted to be ready.

You can never be too prepared.

I used to be terrible at school. My grades were barely passing and I would procrastinate on almost every assignment.

Now after everything's that happened I feel up to tune with my life. And I couldn't be happier.

Except for one thing.

I was missing Benji.

I let the thoughts about my future fill up my head as I drifted off to sleep once more.

6:00 am.

Beep

I rolled my eyes but sat up and turned off the alarm on my phone.

Groggily I rubbed my eyes and sat up. It was still dark out.

Getting out of bed I went into my closet and looked through the clothes until I found something suitable.

Benji's hoodie. It was a red champion hoodie that still smelled like him.

I pulled it off the hanger and brought it to my nose taking a deep breath.

His scent was all I needed.
