Apocalyptic

III

I woke up to breaking glass, the whole house was shaking my body wasn't moving, my breathing hitched, "HELP ME" I yelled. Suddenly everything stopped and it was calm. I closed my eyes to take a breath in, when I opened them again Sunny was there. "Lilah, you were screaming and shaking the bed is everything okay?" I sighed and hugged him tightly "Yeah, I just...I just I had a nightmare I guess." He held me. It was the most calming thing possible. "Lilah, maybe you should sleep with me, I'm worried about you." I shook my head. "Okay" I followed him to the bottom bed and laid down with him he held me and before I knew it I was fast asleep, again. This time the dream became more intense. When I opened my eyes in my dream I was in a desert, there was a storm approaching, sand storm perhaps, I am not to sure at this point. I saw a figure walking towards me "Delilah....." I freeze I am sitting in a desert unaware of my surroundings. "Delilah......." this voice sounds so far but yet the figure is so close to me. Then I hear it again "Lilah." I jump up from the ground the figure is an older man. "Do I know you?" I ask frantically. He responds "No Delilah, you do not, on occasion you visit this desert around the same time every year. I was curious as to who you were." I shook my head a bit. "Take me to Sunny. I want to be with Sunny."  Then I heard a echo in my head a loud one. Someone screaming my name. A familiar voice, shouting for me, but why is it so loud. I closed my eyes and when I opened them again I was with Sunny. He had a frightened look on his face "What's wrong?" I croaked. He grabbed me and held me closer. "Lil you were convulsing and you weren't responding to anything I was saying." He had tears running down his face. "I thought I lost you." He whispered. I let out a sigh. "No I'm fine." I wanted to tell him about the dream, about the strange man, but I was afraid of what he might think of me. We fell asleep, this time I had no dream. When I woke up the next day Sunny wasn't there. I got up and  I looked for him frantically. Rocco was at the front door, I opened it preparing for the worse. I saw sunny and three more people. "Sunny" I whisper shouted. He turned around and called me over. I walked towards him and the three other people. "Delilah, this Is Richard, or richie if you will." Richie was tall about five foot eight,he had blonde hair and wore a brown suede jacket and black sneakers. He had dirt and mud on his face, and hands. "This is cherry." Cherry was about five foot two, she had black curly hair and was also cover in mud. She wore overalls, and red slip on shoes "And last but not least, Joan." Joan was a brunette, she was about five foot seven, her hair was straight and she wasn't that dirty compared to the other two. She wore a black shirt and black jeans and she had black boots on."This is Delilah." I waved shyly. I was just glad Sunny was okay. "Hey" they all said in unison. Joan spoke up "So Lance here was telling us how you survived the explosion." I shook my head. No one called Sunny Lance not even me. Richie spoke next "We were thinking about teaming up with you and Sunny." I looked at him, then at Sunny. "We could be big help." Cherry smiled. I looked at Sunny. It was all his call. "I think that would be great." Sunny smiled and we all went back inside. As I was last to walk in something felt wrong, not in a 'these people are going to rob us' kind of way more like 'something is going on between Sunny and Joan.' I shook my head. Can't let jealousy get to me. Especially not in this situation. I closed the door behind me.
