Nathan's P.O.V
🌺🌺🌺

It's already 2am and I can't put myself to sleep thinking about Nic. I thought I was crazy for having this visions now I think I'm about to lose it.

I can't believe she existed. Her face has been haunting me for years.

"Why are you still up Hon".
My mother said entering my room.

"Just thinking about some things mom. I won't be up for long.."

I replied. She nodded and
closed the door.

I went to my bath room and grab some sleeping pills on my medicine cabinet.

I took two tablets and went to bed. My eyes started to sting sending me to sleep.

I can feel the warmth of the fireplace as I saw myself with Nic laying in a fur carpet.

She was sleeping like an angel. I watched her sleep as I lay beside her. I wanted to wake her up to ask her but Suddenly everything started to blur and a loud ring distorted my vision.

I woke up with the loud buzzing sound of my alarm clock. I realized I was dreaming again.

Why am I having these dreams?
I wanted some answers but I can't just say it to her face that I've been dreaming of her all my life long before I've met her.

I could have sounded like a creep besides I don't want to lose my job if it didn't turn out like I expected.

I went to practice as usual keeping myself distracted from my bothered thoughts.

After the game I went straight to band practice. Everything seemed so normal but I noticed Nic's been avoiding me.

-------

We've been practicing for days now' but nothing has changed. It feels like Nic's really avoiding me for some reasons.

Every time I get alone with her she avoided my like I was a sort of deadly disease.

I grab a plate while my mom served breakfast.

"You look troubled honey  is there anything bothering you? You haven't been yourself lately."

My mom said putting a plate of eggs and bacon.

"Just a little bit of nervous for tomorrow."
I replied.

"I heard your playing for the annuals. Have you picked up any outfit yet? I've also heard the theme was retro."

"Yeah that's one of the problem mom. I ordered up online but it hasn't arrived yet."

I replied with a sigh.

"Oh honey. I think your grandma kept his brother's vintage uniform since she couldn't bare to throw it away. I placed it in the attic. Go find it now before I go to town so I can dry clean it. "

She insist while  washing the plates. I went up the attic to check it out. It was dusty everywhere that cause me to sneeze.

I opened the old cabinet to see some clothes. I browsed the cabinet finding the vintage uniform my mom mentioned me.

My grandma told us a little about his brother John. All I know was he died during the war.

Finally I found a vintage military uniform that has a mark of the air forced logo. He must have served the air force.

I closed the cabinet when something fell out.

It was a picture and to my surprise it must have been my grandfather John. I couldn't believe how I resembled every detailed on his face that gave me the chills down my spine.
