"Char!" I scream. But she doesn't hear me. I'm too late.
"Say goodbye to your precious Charlene!" Maleficent shouts as she throws a fireball in Charlene's direction.
"No!" I scream and run. I run to Charlene and push her out of the way. But I'm too late.
She's been hit.
She's not moving.
I was too late.
I drop to my knees next to her and touch her face. Her bloody face. "C-Char?" I whisper. She doesn't move and I lose it. I pick her up and put her in my lap. She's covered in blood and her clothes are burnt in some spots. She has a sword clenched in one hand and the pen in the other. "Char...Char? Char please. Charlene please! Wake up! Don't leave me! I need you! I...I can't live without you!" Tears were running down my face now and I was gripping her face between my hands.
Jess! Jess wake up!
I looked around but saw no one.
Jess! Please! Wake up!
The voice was more panicked than before.
Jessie? Jessie, please.
I can't wake up. I don't want to wake up. Waking up to a world with no Charlene Turner is a world that I don't want to live in.
I look down and the girl in my arms. The look on her face is pained and the blood is everywhere. She died fighting. She died fighting for me.
Jess please!
I feel arms around me. And somebody is whispering in my ear.
Jessie, baby, you're okay. You're okay. Come on baby. Wake up.
I open my eyes and am transported into a realm of darkness and light.
Charlene Turner stands with me up against a wall. Her hands on my waist and her forehead connected with mine.
It was a dream.
She kisses me softly and then pulls away.
It was a dream.
The second her lips leave mine, I pull her back to me and kiss her with as much passion I can muster.
Oh my god...
She kisses me back and I grip her shirt and pull her closer. I close my eyes and whisper hoarsely, "Char..."
"It's okay. You're okay." She hugs me tighter and I start to cry. "Shh. Jess, it's okay. It was a dream. I'm here. I'm here." She places her hands on my face and wipes away my tears with her thumbs.
"You were...you were dead and...I was too late and I was scared because you weren't waking up and...and...and I just couldn't Charlene. I just couldn't. I tried to save you...I tried and failed. I let you die." I whisper.
"Hey...hey, no. No ma'am. No. Look at me." She takes her hands from my face and pushes my hair behind my ears. "Jess. No. Stop thinking like that."
"But how can I when I know it's going to happen?" I whisper.
"W...what?"
"It wasn't just a dream Charlene...it was a vision."
"No..." She whispers. "Jess no...please tell me you're joking."
I shake my head and look down. "I'm sorry." I whisper as I move away from her. She grabs my hand and pulls me back to her. "Charlene stop. I know you're mad at me but—"
"Mad?" She whispers. "Why would I be mad? You cant control what you see, Jess."
"I just don't want to leave you. I don't want anything to happen to you. We just got together and now look. You're going to die."
She sat me down on the couch and slowly sat on my lap wrapping her legs around me. "Then let's make my time left last..." She whispers moving closer.
"Char..." I'm cut off by by her hands pulling me to her and kissing me. I resist at first but give up and wrap my arms around her. I pull her as close to me as possible and kiss her back harder.
She pulls away and connects her forehead with mine. "I love you so much." She whispers with her eyes closed. I smile slightly and push her hair behind her ears before kissing her nose. She smiles and stands up pulling me to my feet. She pulls me up the stairs by my hand. As we reach the top of the stairs, I push her up against the wall, pinning her arms above her head.
"Kiss me...now..." I whisper. "It's been too long..." I pull her towards me by the collar of her shirt and she kisses me hard. As I deepen the kiss, her arms fall loosely around my waist. Her head is held tightly between my hands and her lips are working wonders against mine. I feel her hands slip up the back of my shirt and I smile. I pick her up and wrap her legs around my waist as I kick the door to my room open and walk in. I feel her wanting more as I lay her on my bed and get on top of her.
"Jess...I want...more..." She says between kisses. I smile and separate for only a second before tracing kisses up and down her neck. Soft moans escape her mouth as I seal mine against it again and kiss her with as much passion I can muster. Her hands scratch up and down my back begging for more still.
"Char...not yet..." I whisper slipping my hands under her shirt as well. "Tomorrow..." I wink. "After Amanda leaves." She puts a hand on the back of my head and pulls me to her again.
"Sounds good to me..." She smirks and kisses me again. She freezes. "Jess...what if I don't make it to then...?"
I stop and my eyes start to water. "Then..." I kiss her. "Do what you want. Right now. I'm not stopping you." I whisper and move her shirt up, revealing her stomach. I slide down off of her planting kisses on her chest and then down her stomach until my lips graze across her bare skin. She sucks in a surprised breath as I continue to plant kisses on her stomach.
"Jess...I-I...you're..." She breathes. "J-Jess...J-Jess...kiss me Jess...kiss me...please..." I slowly make my way back up to her face and kiss her on the lips.
"C'mon Char...do whatever you want..." She smiles.
