Chapter 10: Dreams

KIMS POV

I jumped off the couch, trying to catch my mom before she left with Jack. I slammed the door against the wall and waved me hand hoping she would see me.

"Mom!" I shouted, praying she would stop the car.

"Kim?" She asked as she slammed on the brakes to make sure it was truly me.

"I want to come with you." I studied her face as I said that hoping she wouldn't think I was crazy. Normally I wouldn't have a problem staying home alone, but today I couldn't handle it.

"Okay hunny." I jumped in the car before she could change her mind and sat behind Jack. He looked back and I could tell he wanted to ask me if I was okay, but he stopped himself. I shot him a reassuring smile and turned to look out the window. I starred at the passing scenery and the car was silent except for the mumbling of sports center from the front seat.

I sighed as we pulled into Jack's driveway and I realized I would miss him sleeping over every night. I got out of the car and to give Jack a hug and was surprised to see it had started raining! I looked over to see his mom standing on the porch waving us over.

"Karen!" My mom yelled as she sped up to give her a hug!

"Debbie! How are you? I feel like I haven't talked to you in forever." I looked over at Jack and we both rolled our eyes knowing our moms were famous for their hour long conversations.

We ducked inside hoping to spend some time to ourselves; I walked to his den picking Incidious out of the long row of horror movies and popping it in. I was waiting for Jack to come and sit beside me, but when he didn't I got up to go find him. I could hear our mom's voices coming from the kitchen and I walked in wondering if they had drawn him into the conversation. Their conversation stopped as I entered the room and they both turned to look at me.

"Do you need something hunny?" Karen asked slowly

"Yeah, I was wondering where Jack was." I grabbed a glass of water wondering why they were looking at each other like that.

"We thought he was with you." Karen responded and I immediately noticed the worried look in her eye. My mom grabbed her hand and gave her a reassuring look.

"Well he has to be around here somewhere." My mom said as she helped Karen up so we could start looking.

"JACK!" I yelled, hoping to hear the familiar sound of his voice call down.

"JACK? HUNNY?!" Karen called up the stairs, her voice starting to quiver. My mom walked over to the living room and stared out the window.

"Could he have gone outside?" My mom asked worriedly.

"He should know better than to go outside in this weather." Karen responding, making me look outside for the first time since I'd gotten home.

The sky was completely black and the rain pounded on the roof as the wind ripped at the trees. Branches flew everywhere as the wind picked up, howling against the brick reinforcements of the house. I scanned my eyes across the grass looking for anything that showed signs of movement. Karen's gasp broke my focus and I looked up to see her face as white as a sheet.

"What?" My mom asked waiting patiently for her response. Fear rose inside of me as Karen raised her finger and pointed to the corner of the yard where a small figure was lying on the ground.

I felt my legs collapse as I fell to the ground and let out a sob, I felt my mom beside me trying to pick me up.

"Kim? Sweetheart? Please get up." I listened to her and got up suddenly overwhelmed with the urge to go and help Jack. I jumped up, running for the door with everything that I had in me. I could hear my mom calling me and running after me, but I kept going, determined to reach him. I slowed as I recognized the familiar blue shirt and shock came over me. I felt my mom put a reassuring hand on my shoulder and try to guide me away from Jack.

"No." I said, planting my feet firmly into the ground.

"Come on, Karen called an ambulance they should be here any second." My mom's words did nothing to calm me and my eyes remained focus on Jack.

"He needs me." I said, turning my head towards my mom and pleading with my eyes. I felt her resign as she moved her hand off my shoulder. I ran towards him, feeling desperately for a pulse that was nowhere to be found. Sobs racked my body and I sat holding his hand even as the EMT's loaded him onto a stretcher and carried him away. Karen let me ride in the ambulance with him, opting to ride with my mom instead. I stared at his lifeless body listening to the EMT's shout words that made no sense me. I sat next to the stretcher holding his hand, making the EMT's work around me. No matter how much harder that made their jobs I just couldn't stand to leave him.

I knew something was wrong the moment we reached the hospital; they didn't wheel him out like most people do. Instead they looked at me with sad eyes and stepped out of the ambulance waiting for Karen and my mom to arrive.

"WHY AREN'T YOU DOING ANYTHING?!" I shouted, startling the EMT's and myself.

"Ma'am, I am sorry but…" I cut him off, I couldn't stand to hear what he was about to say.

"NO! THERE HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF SURGERY OR MEDICINE OR SOMETHING! YOU'RE THE DOCTORS! FIX IT!" I must have looked crazy, screaming from the floor, holding this dead boys hand, but they never budged just looked at me with sad eyes. Then finally my mom and Karen arrived, both immediately knowing the news we were about to receive. Yet, instead of breaking down I stepped out of the ambulance and stood next to my mother, grabbing her hand tightly in mine. We turned; all three of us together to face the EMT's.

"I'm sorry, but there is nothing more we can do." The EMT's face looked as grief stricken as ours, and I managed to hold it together until he walked away

"NOOOOOOO!" I screamed as I collapsed onto the hard pavement, tunneling into a dark abyss.

"Kim?! KIM?!" I felt my mom shake my shoulders harshly.

"Mom?" I asked, my voice ruff and hard.

"Yes sweetie you were having a bad dream, but I'm here now. I just had to drop Jack off. You should've come with us." I sighed with relief that it was all just a dream and clung to my mom as she led me up to my room slowly.

"You'll never guess what I just dreamt." I looked at my mom and she smiled at me and I knew that Jack was okay.

I know that was a little cheesy and sorry if I had you guys scared there for a minute! I just had a lot of writers block and thought this would make a good chapter! As always suggestions and comments are appreciated, sorry about the bad grammar! Love you guys!
