I never expected running for my safety, visits from my dead best friend and an estranged fiance were going to be the main points of my life.. I wish they weren't, but it seems the universe had different plans for me.

"Thanks for almost killing our daughter today.." Keith said sarcastically, as he poured himself some white wine.
"Babe, I've been so tired.. I don't know what to do.." He stood in front of me, grabbing my face gently.
"How about you go get some sleep and we go see Martha babe?" I rolled my eyes.
"Ugh, You know seeing her makes me feel crazy." I wiggled out his grip. He sighed, sipping his glass.
"I want to see you well baby.. and I definitely don't wanna see you falling out on the road, especially if Marley's with you.."
I looked over to find Marley on the living room couch, the TV blaring and eating- you betcha, fruit snacks.
I smiled, looking at my little creation.
Keith must of caught my glance, because he started to smile too.
"You love her so much.." He stated.
I smiled at him.
"She's that little piece of me.." I felt Keith slip his arm around my waist, pulling me close.
"Couldn't choose a better girl to have a family with.." He said, with a twinkle in his eye. I smiled and his lips caressed mine.
"I love you..so much.." He mumbled into the kiss.
I could tell I was inside my dream again. It was like I could watch them happen right in front of me. It wasn't the nightmare though.. I was stuck in an all white room.
I stood up from the metal chair and began to walk around looking for a door.. Sadly the walls blended in so well I couldn't tell if one even existed.
"Hellooo?" I called out.
Suddenly a loud creak was heard and a bright light shown in, the door was opening.
I stood still, watching.
I held my breath when I spotted who walked inside.
He looked just the same as before.. A curl filled afro, milky brown skin and half of everyone's size like he always was but maybe even more perfect looking, like a heavenly glow.
"..G?"
He smiled at me, walking closer.
"I finally figured it out.." I stood in disbelief.
"Figured what out?" He kept his smile.
"How to talk to you.." I covered my mouth in shock.
So that was him before...
"I missed you so much.." He spoke and grinned.
I couldn't fight it anymore, I leaped and wrapped my arms around him. He held me tight.
"G.. You have no idea how hard it's been since you left.. Oh god, I missed you.." Tears began to escape from my eyes. He kept me close.
"Trust me, I know.. I've been watching you.." I pulled back and looked up at him.
"That was you today.. In the grocery store.. I know your voice anywhere.. I thought I was just imagining it." He nodded, the happiness on his face, never seizing.
"You've seen Marley?" Algee nodded. "She's like a niece to me."
"She's so beautiful G.. I wish you.. I.." I started to breakdown.
Algee brushed my hair behind my ears.. "Shh, I can't stay long (Y/N), but I'll be back.. You need me." I reached for his arm but it started to fade.
"Wait.. please.." Algee was barely visible until he was no more, I fell to my knees.
I instantly woke up. I leaned over to look at the clock.
4:02 am..
I exhaled and noticed Marley's hand on my neck, she was fast asleep with her pacifier. Keith right next to her also unbothered. He must of brought her in here a while ago..
"I'll be back for you, I promise..."
I heard a voice say in my head, I closed my eyes, realizing it was Algee.
I didn't know whether to be happy or sad..
Seeing Algee again for the first time since he died.. It made me want to cry. I missed him so much.. and to have him in my grasp just to lose him again.. I hope it was real and I'm not going crazy..
I rolled my eyes and turned on my side to face Marley. I brushed her curls out her face and stared at her. Can't remember the last time I did her hair.. What is wrong with me.. Keith stirred in his sleep, his hand reaching over and grasping mine. I smiled at the gesture, even in his sleep he was protective and loving.
Can't lie and say I don't love him because I do.. so much, but I can't help but think the way I am lately is becoming a stress factor for him.. My eyes began to get dry and close slowly..
