Promises ( Garcello x Reader ) [Being reworked to ao3]

The twenty-first chapter

-------------------------------------------

(Well, good news and slightly bad news... I will make another goal chapter! But it will not come out until I reach 3k readers! It is a large goal but it's necessary because I don't want to turn this book into a oneshot book... Not only that but the feeling that you are making a smut chapter for a bunch of kids simping over a hairy 26-year-old man feels off... I hope you guys understand! I will still make the chapter I just want the goal to take longer.)

------------------------------------------

Alex pov.

Opening my eyes I feel like I just wanted to fall into sleep again... My head hurt and my body ached slightly in the chest area. I barely remember anything...

I can feel my body laying down on something soft... Something I haven't been on for a long time? Is it a bed? I don't know and I can't look because moving right now is a no...

My body has been through a lot... I wonder what happened this time? Why can't I remember it?

I feel myself get slightly frustrated from the fact that I am forgetting these things... How does that even work?!

My body jolts when I hear a door being open! 

"Alex? Are you awake at the moment?" I hear a familiar voice...

"R-Rex!?..." I can't believe it! Have I... Died?...

I hear footsteps and they stand right over me. My body lifts itself up from the bed and I sit down on it instead...

I... I didn't do that on my own?

"You are dreaming, Alex... I'm not here..." Someone tells me making me look to the person that I used to know.

I cry because I know that he has to be right about it... But I can't feel any tears from under my eyes...

My lung feels really painful though making me cough slightly. There seemed to be something on my mouth...

I try to wipe the stuff off of my mouth and it seems to be dried blood... This is so weird... 

I can feel something wipe my mouth making the rest go away pretty quickly? 

Right, this is a dream. Someone has to be out there...

Suddenly I feel myself get pushed forwards and backward while sitting down?... What is going on?

I decide to just move these thoughts aside and talk to Rex.

"So? Are you at least real in the type of way that a ghost is real?" I ask him hoping to get a better answer knowing that if he said yes I might just be able to find him somehow. He sighs and I lose my hope slightly feeling like this isn't real or maybe... He doesn't want to come back?

"Alex, you gotta let me go... I can't stay around forever..." He tells me. 

"What do you mean? You can leave when you want to... I let you go for a long time ago... Right?" I ask him and he looks away from me.

I stand up from my sitting position and try to leave the room but the door closes on me before I can leave... I can feel myself become frustrated...

Turning around I walk straight through Rex not caring if it makes me shiver. Still feeling frustrated I grab my hair.

"If you want to leave then just go! Leave me alone!" I yell facing the... Bed? I feel shocked when I wake up and feel movement...

Where am I?
