Just a Dream {Book 2}

Chapter 6

❄️Joy's POV❄️

Lourence and Dilly are currently playing this game called "Alice: Madness Returns" which is like a twisted version of Alice in Wonderland. I was teasing them about playing a "too girly game" but this game is not even suitable for kids. Lourence is the one holding the controller- since it's a single player game -and Dilly is the one guiding him.

I'm really confused to what Lourence said to me a couple of minutes ago. What does he mean that he knows me? And the way he said it, though...really creeps me out.

"Hey Joy? I'm going to the store just a couple of minutes from here, you okay here with Lou?" Should I come with him? Or should I stay here with Lou and talk about...the thing?

"Yeah, yeah I'll go." I'm not ready for Lou's explanation...yet.

"Cool, let's go? You okay here by yourself, Lou?"

"Of course, I am. This is my house, you twit!"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"So how do you like Lou so far?" Dylan asked me as we walk down the pavement. The store is near Lou's house so we just decided to walk than to take Dylan's car.

"Pretty good, he looks cool and he's nice."

"You're not awkward with him anymore?" Anymore?

"Nah, and how can you say 'anymore'?"

"It's pretty obvious you guys are awkward with each other. I was about to burst the bubble but I just decided to wait and good thing I did." He chuckled. Now I miss the sound of Em's chuckle...

"Well good thing you did."

"That's what I said! You don't have to repeat it, you know."

"Oh shut up will you? There's the store, let's make it quick I want to play some games with you and Lou."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"I'm exhausted! I never met a girl like you, Joy. 20 games in a row without any breaks?! Seriously!" I laughed at the look in Dylan's face. It's like he's gonna explode any minute now.

"Well I learned from you guys, didn't I? So credits to the both of you."

Lourence and Dylan looked at each other then looked at me, "Aw!" They placed their hand on their chest, "We're so flattered as hell!" I raised my eyebrows in surprise.

"You say the nicest thing, Joy." Lou shakes his head for emphasis.

"I can't even!" Dylan wiped some fake tears from his face.

"Stop it, you both!" I laughed.

"Well I want some snacks, do you still have some, Lou?" Dylan stood up and stretched his limbs.

"I think it's in the stock room? You know where it is you can get there."

"Be right back!" He sprinted out of the room.

I looked at Lou and he looked at me. Oh gosh, this is it. I can feel it, I'm not ready! Yes you are! My subconscious hissed at me. Fine then!

"Let's just cut to the chase, explain everything, now. We don't have much time, do we?" I blurted out.

Lourence inhaled then started explaining, "I've been having these...dreams lately. I'm a teacher in Sun International and I have this best friend named...Jerson? Every time I have these dreams, I always try to control it, but I can't. It's like the dreams are stating some kind of story to me, so after a few tries, I gave up and just went with the flow," He inhaled some air then started again, "You we're there, you're Em's girlfriend, you love each other dearly." Why does it hurts every time I hear even his nickname?

"It's like a book, actually. Or a movie, you can pick what you want. But after a few days, the dreams stopped. I never had one of those kinds of dreams again. To be honest? I miss it." He laughed a little.

"You're not having these dreams for a week now, am I right?" He looked up and calculated a little.

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"I woke up from my coma last week."

"You're in a coma? Why didn't Dylan said that to me?"

"Let's not talk about that for now. Don't you realize something?" He shook his head, "Whenever I dream, you dream too."

Lourence's eyes widen, "Now that's weird and creepy in so many ways." I nodded, "Does that mean anything? Like some kind of sign or something?"

"I'm not sure, I'll try to research later." He said, "So does that mean everyone in our dreams are true? There's really an Em?" My breath hitched, I haven't thought of that.

"I-I don't know."

"Heyya I'm back!" We both looked at the door and saw Dylan holding a couple of bags of chips.

He sat between me and Lou and gave us each a bag. I looked at Lou and pointed at Dylan, like asking if we should tell him. Lou shrugged his shoulders, I guess I'll just tell him later. Lourence grasped the controller and started playing again.
