chapter 4- Dreams by Fleetwood mac

REMINDER: for this chapter dont forget Liam is dead

"Vada. Vada get up" I hear a deep voice that wakes me up.

I open my eyes to see Liam, my cousin, standing in front of me. He looked normal, healthy, alive.

Am I dreaming?

"Would you get up already? It's 12 in the afternoon. You can't sleep all day." He chuckles.

"Liam?" I ask not really sure of what's going on. "What- how- when- are you okay?" All these thoughts are jumbled in my head. What is he doing here, how is he here, What the hell is happening he's supposed to be dead.

Please let him be real, please let him be alive, please let me have my best friend back.

I reached my hand out to him and touched his arm, which was in a dark red hoodie. He felt warm just like I remember, he was always running hot rather than cold. I squeezed his arm tightly just to make sure he was real.

"What do you mean, Of course I'm okay why wouldn't I be? Are you okay?" Liam looks at me with a face as if I'm crazy. This can't be real.

"No I'm not okay you're dead, you died, I saw your body, I went to your funeral." I spat out quickly and it probably sounded all jumbled up but I am just so confused on how he is even in front of me right now.

"V what are you talking about, I'm not dead I'm right here." He says. "If I'm dead could I do this?" He asks as he grabbed my hand. He did our handshake we made up when I was 8.

Fist bump, high five, shoulder bump, other shoulder bump, spin, double high five.

This can't be real. I saw him dead, I found him, I FOUND HIM DEAD. he can't be alive there's no way.

"Liam please, am I dreaming? I barely got over the first time I thought I lost you, are you real?" I can feel my throat starting to choke. Is this real, I missed him so much, I just want this moment to last forever even if it's not real.

*FLASHBACK*

"Liam!... Liam James Payne let me in!" I yelled as I stood at his front door to his cheap condo knocking. "Open up come on!"

I woke up with the biggest smile on my face ready to start the day --and I'm not a morning person so that's extremely rare.

It was a beautiful sunny day. One of those days where you woke feeling great for no reason, just full of energy. One of thoses days where the birds are chirping and everyone is smiling. One of thoses days where it seems impossible to be sad because you know it will be a great day.

"If you don't let me in you won't get the coffee I bought for you." I tease. I texted him that I was coming over he should be awake by now. Usually at this time hes telling me to wake up.

I pulled my phone out to see if he ever texted me back.

Vada: Hey it's nice out, want to do something today? -8:42am

Vada: I will be over in 20 with coffee get up -8:47am

Vada: BITCH GET UP -9:23am

Vada: On my way now -9:23am

Nope no reply, he better be up I get bored. I need amusement to survive.

"I'm coming in since you won't answer me!" I warn.

I grab the silver handle to the front door. Locked.

"Of course it's always gotta be the hard way" I mumble to myself.
