JUST A DREAM

CHAPTER 2

I walked through the town with my head down, my mind all over the place.

How could last night be just a dream?

It felt so real.

Everything.

He felt so real.

I couldn’t believe it.

I decided to go to every single place we visited last night.

First I went to where the gala was held.

I inquired of the people there but they told me that no one held a party there last night.

I went over to the movie theater and asked of the airings on the previous day.

There was no airing of “Klaus.”

I went over to the ice skating rink, but it was closed.

I grew frustrated, sad and disappointed.

Finally I went over to the giant Christmas tree.

It was still there.

Of course it was.

There was no way my sub consciousness will make that up.

I sat down where we supposedly sat last night, I mean in my dream.

I couldn’t believe it. Last night was just a dream.

Everything we did together, everything I felt, it wasn’t real.

Tears rolled down my eyes, but I quickly wiped them away.

I couldn’t be crying right now. It was Christmas day for goodness sake.

Right?

I sighed.

Nothing could fill the hole in my heart right now.

“Um….excuse me Miss. Can you please tell me where I can find Arabella's café?”

I stood up.

“Oh it’s right down the….road.”

It was him.

I knew it was.

He was standing right in front of me, staring at me with those eyes of his.

Those striking blue eyes.

“Um….I….”

I shook my head, there’s no way he could remember me.

There’s no way he’d even know me.

“You just go straight and you’ll see it. Anyway I have to go.”

I start to walk away when suddenly I was pull back.

“Wait.” I looked down at his hand on my arm.

“This might sound crazy, but I think I’ve met you before.” He said hesitantly.

I shook my head, my heart aching.

“I don’t think so.”

“No I….I’m sure. But…it sounds absurd. I met you….last night……in my dreams.”

I gasp, looking up into his eyes.

“You remember?”

“Yes. Wait, does that mean……”
