5- "So, I'll see you bright and early tomorrow morning."
"If you count seven early, then yes, I'll see you in first period." I laugh, my best friend and I were gonna ditch, it was senior year, and we were ready for college. We were good to go, ready for take off. We could taste the freedom.
4- College. Three years later. I'm finishing up my degree getting ready to become a therapist and work with those depressed and hurt. I meet a an amazing man name John. We date.
3- Bells. They were ringing in the church. John and I just got married, and we're about to start our next chapter. A year later we're blessed with with a baby girl. Laurel.
2- Laurel is in highschool, her last year, she got married at sixteen, and had kid at nineteen, and now they're ten and twelve. And John has passed away, and I'm in a hospital. I'm too sick to do anything, my time is near.
1- My family is around me, my children and grandchildren, the whole family. Everyone leaves, except Laurel.
"If you see daddy, tell him I said hi." She smiles, but tears are streaming down her face. I grab her hand, smile.
"I promise." She walks out. The nurse comes in. Blackness.
Bump. I jump from my seat, only to see him flying the TARDIS, the Doctor flying it. He looked like John in my dream. Wait, what? That was a dream.
"How long was I out?" He looks up at me.
"Almost a day." He walls over and sits next to me, and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "You okay? You're eyes are red." I sniffle.
"I-I think so yeah, just a, just a dream."
"Normal life, that was the dream yeah?"
"How-"
"I've had that dream, and that look in your eyes, I know it. I'm too familiar with it."
"It was so good, like I wanted it, but here I am, sitting here, with you, I don't want to give this up, I don't want to give us up." He stares into my eyes.
"You won't. I know you. Are you gonna be okay?" He kisses my forehead.
"I will be. It's just everything felt so real, the love, the pain, the cancer, everything." He pulls me into a hug, burying his face in my hair.
"I know." And we stayed like that for a long time.
