Okay I just read a story which gives me more motivation to write. So enjoy!
The movie started playing. I stared at the screen tears coming to my eyes. "Now you see why you need to protect this secret?" My mother asked and I nodded sniffling. I got up numbly and walked to my bedroom and threw myself on the bed allowing myself time to cry. I ended up falling asleep when I heard a noise waking up. I turned the light on to find the boys all asleep on the couches and stuff. I rolled over groaning when I hit into a body almost making me scream. Logan put a hand over my mouth. I let my heart rate calm down and shut the light back off. Apparently I had fallen asleep in the wrong bed and Logan gave the couch to Marcus
I was tense not trusting Logan. He knew that, I loved him but I didn't trust him. "Relax," he whispered in my ear and of course I didn't. He kissed me and we stayed like that for a while. I pulled away and curled up into a ball while he wrapped his arms around me. I yawned, "Goodnight Logan," I said yawning again. "Goodnight Morgan," he replied and I feel asleep quickly. But I didn't have sweet dreams, I had nightmares. Terrible nightmares the kind that haunt you when you wake up. The kind that haunt your every day. The kind that could happen.
Sometimes when I dream music plays in the background. Sometimes it is happy sometimes it freaks me out. This was one of those nights. The nights that the music in my dreams scares me. That night was especially scary. That night the music didn't help me in the day. That night I woke up trying to find the title of the song.

***musical interlude***
I was laying down my eyes closed not moving. My skin was paler than usual and my hair framed my face in golden waves. My lips were red from lipstick. I was holding something in my hands and I started getting a closer look at myself. I realized with horror why I looked that way, I was dead.
how can you see into my eyes like open doors?
My eyes opened but instead of revealing my blue eyes I saw eyes as black as coal.
leading you down into my core...
I sat up in the coffin stepping out in a white dress that was ripped at the bottom with gray all over it.
where i've become so numb
I walked looking over at all the people at my funeral that were crying
without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
I walked past the flowers picking them up and taking flower petals off one by one
until you find it there and lead it back home
I looked down at the flower petals that were now black
wake me up wake me up inside i can't wake up wake me up inside save me
looking up the only person left was Logan I looked over at the coffin to find my body still there.
call my name and save me from the dark
I watched him walk over to me and kneel down taking my dead hand.
wake me up bid my blood to run i cant wake up before I come undone save me
he started to cry and I walked over putting a hand on his shoulder.
save me from the nothing I've become
"Save me Logan," I said and closed my eyes
Now that I know what I'm without, you can't just leave me
I opened my eyes to find the funeral home gone now I was in a meadow with a sunny sky in a white halter dress with wind blowing my hair everywhere.
Breathe into me and make me real, bring me to life
I looked up at the sky to find dark clouds moving closer. A flash of lightning and I was back in the funeral dress.
wake me up wake me up inside i can't wake up wake me up inside save me
I moved toward Logan who was in the meadow and he blinked his hazel eyes turning black. I ran from him.
call my name and save me from the dark.
He called after me and I turned to look back at him standing there.
wake me up bid my blood to run i cant wake up before I come undone save me
I ran through the meadow stopping when he was in front of me. He grabbed me by both of the arms.
save me from the nothing I've become
"Save me Logan," I said again and closed my eyes
bring me to life, I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside, bring me to life
I opened my eyes to find myself on a roof top with Logan who was telling me he was heartless
frozen inside without your touch without your love, darling, only you are the life among the dead.
"I can't live without you," I said looking over the edge of the building down at the city.
all this time, i can't believe i couldn't see, kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
he said and flash backs of the funeral and the meadow appeared
i've been sleeping a thousand years it seems got to open my eyes to everything
It showed me climbing back into the coffin and laying back down.
without a thought without a voice without a soul, don't let me die here, there must be something more, bring me to life
it showed us in the meadow and me getting struck by lightning and falling to the ground clutching for him helplessly while he walked away.
wake me up wake me up inside i can't wake up wake me up inside save me
I was crawling toward him in the meadow almost dead while he walked up and turned to face me, "Don't let me die," I said clutching for him
call my name and save me from the dark
"Morgan," he screamed realizing and reaching for me but it was too late I disappeared
wake me up bid my blood to run i cant wake up before i come undone save me
he sees me at the funeral and is trying to save me but my eyes close
save me from the nothing I become
the nightmare shows him alone in the meadow looking for me
bring me to life, I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside, bring me to life
it then shows him falling to his knees staring up at the storm as it beings to rain
bring me to life
you see us on the roof, "Save me," I said as I get on the ledge of the roof. My foot slips and I fall off the ledge and he sees me as I fall to the bottom of the city
***ending piano***
you see me in my coffin
I woke up panting while Logan wrapped his arms around me tightly, "It's okay stop it's okay, I'm here, it was just a dream," he said and the light flicked on. "What did I do?" I asked. "You were screaming and kicking," he said once I calmed down. I sniffled and wiped away a tear from my cheek. "You okay?" Whitney asked me, I nodded. The truth was I haven't been okay for a long time. And I was scared I never would be.
Tonight was the night of the ball. I pulled on my red strapless dress and black strappy high heels. Hailey did my make up while Whitney (who was amazing with hair) put my hair into curls and fixed into a pretty bun. Leanna had put two diamond clips in her chin length blond hair. She had on a blue dress that looked very plain from the front but the back of the dress was gorgeous. The back of it went all the way down to her lower back and I had to sew it a little bit so it was her size. She had on silver heels and a diamond necklace. Unfortunately she had to wear a sticky bra so that you didn't see it on the back of the dress. Hailey's hair was in gorgeous curls and the left side was pulled into a clip with her bangs on the other side curled nicely. And she had a purple cocktail dress that was completely tight to her body that was strapless and stopped halfway down her thigh. She put this thing that felt really soft on over it that was long sleeved and was see through and it went diagnol to the floor but of course her being trendy Hailey she had on black ankle high heeled boots. Then Whitney had her auburn hair straight and twisted into a bun on the left side. She had a green halter dress that went to the floor with a low cut back that she paired with gold heels.
We walked downstairs to find our husbands looking amazing. Logan handed me a corsage and smiled walked me downstairs to the ball. We danced and laughed and ate food. Logan danced with me for a while. Then he kissed me, but there was more passion in this kiss than anything ever before. Almost like as if he was leaving soon. "Leanna something is wrong," I said under my breath walking past her. She nodded and found Hailey and Whitney to ask them if they noticed anything. They all nodded. Apparently the guys had acted weird around them. I shuddered feeling a strange sense that my mom had lived this before.
It was like deja vu, just it wasn't mine. I walked quickly over to my mom, "Bring back memories?" I asked and she nodded with tears in her eyes. "If we get a code red it will be just as it was for me," she replied shaking her head. "I doubt that will ever happen," I replied and she smiled, "I hope not," she responded. "Me too," I said but my voice was lost in the crowd. I looked around the room for the guys but I couldn't find them. It looked like Hailey, Whitney, and Leanna were doing the same thing.
Until the power went out. You're probably thinking whatever. But you have to realize this is a high tech school, this never happens. The power came back on and I looked around but my mom was missing. So was all the teachers, there was no grown ups anywhere. I grabbed the microphone, "Attention people. The parents and teachers are missing, lock down!" I shouted and pressed the code red button. Everything sealed down and I mean everything. All the kids from younger grades came to the ball and we all stood there, "You guys together they can't stop us, so we have to stay together." I looked around the room trying to see who was missing. Logan was. And he wasn't the only one.
