"I know there's no life after you"

˙ ˙ ˙

˙˙˙

I gasp, my eyes shooting open wide with fear and confusion. I look around but see nothing other than a deep blue abyss. The farther I look, the whole world around me seems to be black, but as I hold my hands up to my face, I see a shade of deep blue reflecting off my fair skin.

I must be underwater, but I can breathe perfectly fine. I open my mouth and take a breath, but I don't take in any water or oxygen.  I have no fear, nor worries, no emotion at all actually. It's like I'm just floating.

I see bubbles all around me, so I raise my hands to touch them. To my surprise, they don't pop. They don't even move. They're frozen there, and suddenly I realize so am I. It dawns on me that I have no idea where I am, and suddenly I find it hard to breathe.

Suddenly the bubbles move, and the world around me feels cold, like I'm submurged in water. As I take in a breath, my lungs fill with water causing me to choke. Suddenly I can't breathe, can't even think when suddenly a hand latches onto mine, pulling me up to the top where I can finally breathe again.

˙˙˙

I wake with a gasp, my hand latched onto a very firm one. My eyes stare up at the ceiling of the familiar Forbes house, fearful and wide. Suddenly a comforting shade of hazel blue eyes appear above me, a familiar man staring at me with a mixture of relief, anger, love, and disappointment.

"Hey," I groan, instinctively placing my hand on the where the wound to my heart should be. To my relief, it's gone; the plan worked. "I can explain-"

"You don't have to," James signs, still holding my hand as I lay in his lap on the floor. "Bonnie explained everything." 

"So you're not mad?" I ask, raising my brow hopefully.

"Oh no I'm still mad. Furious actually," he says before leaning down and placing his lips on mine.  As he breaks away, he stays only an inch apart, just hovering above me.

"Mad?" I tease.

"Absolutely furious." He smiles charmingly, before leaning down again to kiss me.

We're interrupted by Damon who lets out an audible growl from beside us. "Wanna explain?" he scolds. 

"Yeah! Wanna explain why I wasn't in on this genius plan?" Joel suddenly asks, appearing beside Damon.

"It wasn't dangerous okay! Bonnie and I had this whole thing planned out from this morning! You guys couldn't know otherwise your reaction wouldn't have been real," I try to explain as James helps me stand.
