                Allison opened her eyes to look into Scott’s beautiful shining eyes. The moonlight made his hair look soft and his lips look a darker shade than pink than she remembered. Scott threw his arms around her and held her tight, whispering her name into her neck. Allison squeezed him harder.

                “I’ve missed you so much.” Allison whispered to him.

                “I have too; you have no idea how hard it was for me to want to get up in the morning.” Scott said as they pulled back. Allison giggled, knowing that he missed her as much as she missed him which made her get butterflies in her stomach. Scott held his hand out to her, and she took it, not caring where they were going. That’s when she actually looked at her surrounding and noticed that she was in the woods she had grown to love. Scott tugged at her and she followed.

                As they neared the end of the woods, Scott looked at her and smiled, while Allison kept looking forward, as if she was thinking. Then, Scott felt the soft sand between his toes as they walked onto the beach. Still staring at Allison, he saw as her eyes grew with amazement and excitement, he chuckled silently.

                “What is this place?” Allison asked between smiles and laughs.

                “I’m actually not sure,” Scott said as he sat down in the sand in front of the beach, pulling Allison down next to him. “I’ve never seen this place until now, it’s beautiful isn’t it?” Scott said as in more of a statement then question. Allison just nodded and put her head on his shoulder.

                “I really miss you Scott.” Allison said. Scott looked down at her confused.

                “What do you mean Allison? I’m right here.” Scott said raising his eyebrow. Allison looked at him with a confused expression on her face. Then something dawned on her.

                “Scott, how are you here. I have to go to you, that is how it works.” Allison asked. Then her face turned to stone. “Oh my God, Scott you died?!” Allison’s eyes grew wide.

                “I’m not dead, neither are you…we brought you back to life, and I don’t know what’s happening out there, but this is your mind. Allison, this is my way of reaching out to you. This is my last chance to try to make you remember me.” Scott said, but his voice sounded distant.

                “I…I don’t understand.” Allison said shaking her head. “Scott, are you saying I forgot about you?” Allison asked as her voice became shaky.

                “Just try to remember me Allison. I need you, and I need you now.” Scott said as she felt his arm pull away and he started to fade.

                “Wait, Scott come back here!” Allison shouted as she remembered what had happened in real life. “Scott!” Nothing but silence followed. “Scott, I do remember you! I just…I didn’t for a while but as soon as Lydia said our story I knew! I...I...I don’t think I can help you, that why I said she was crazy! Scott, I don’t want to be the reason why you left us if I fail to bring you back.” Allison shouted into the air as she lay in the sand and closed her eyes, letting a tear out. "Scott I'm sorry." she whispered.
