September 1st, 2004

I woke up to the sound of a thunder storm. There's something about a storm that calms me, the sound of thunder is almost like music to me, with the pattering of the rain like an orchestra. I got out of bed to see that it was already 9:45, since I'm being homeschooled I don't have to worry about being up early. Since it was raining and I don't plan on going anywhere, I put my hair up in a ponytail and put on some sweats and a flannel shirt. I got myself some breakfast and saw that my mom and Oliver had left. I went back downstairs to start my lesson on my computer. I looked to my side to see Jonah looking at the screen, fascinated.

"School back in the 20s was never so advanced, who do they think kids our age are Einstein?" I laughed as Jonah looked confused "It's not that hard, I'm almost done for the day, once I finish we can hang out." He nodded and thankfully didn't disappear this time. He stayed with me watching me do my work while asking me questions like "What kind of stupid mumbo jumbo is this?" And "When are you ever going to use this in life?" He's cute when he's confused. I shut down my computer when I was finished and went upstairs. Jonah followed me and sat down next to me on the couch.

After an awkward silence, I said "I'm bored, do you want to do something?" "Like what?" "What do you want to do?" Jonah thought about if for a few minutes "Can we watch another movie? I really like those." I nodded "Sure which one we have Titanic, Armageddon, Top Gun, oh I think you'll like this one, it's and old movie from the 30s I think, it's called Phantom of the Opera." His blue eyes grew wide with excitement "I read the book, I didn't know they made it into a movie, let's watch it." I popped in the DVD and started the movie. Jonahs reactions were absolutely priceless. He spent the whole movie unleashing his inner fanboy, smiling widely at scenes he remembered from the book and telling me what's coming up next. "Did you like it?" "Let's watch it again." I laughed at Jonah's reply "I take that as a yes, but I have the next best thing, it was made into a musical, it's kind of like an opera but not really, I saw a few years ago, and I have the sheet music for it, want try it out?" Jonah smiled "Anything for you primma donna." I blushed as I led him to the piano.

We played and sang for about an hour until Jonah stood up "Stephanie, I need to tell you something," he said as he took my hands in his "I was serious when I said I loved you, your the only one who was able to make me feel as if I was alive again, I just wanted to know if you felt the same way." I was tearing up at his words. My heart was pounding in my chest as I replied "Jonah I love you too, I feel the exact same, your the only person who's made me not want to be isolated." I said as a single tear slid down my face "Why are you crying?" I smiled "Nothing, you know how girls are." He laughed as he kissed me and disappeared.

That night when I fell asleep I had a very vivid dream. I was on the top of a hill next to Jonah who was dressed in modern day clothes, the thing I noticed was a ring on his left hand. I looked down and saw one on my left hand too. I then realized that we were married. He took me by the waist and kissed me and said "I love you." Before I could say anything, he erupted in flames and everything turned dark. That's when I heard Aickman maliciously saying "You know this is how it will all end."

I woke up crying and in no time found Jonah by my side. "What's wrong?" "Bad dream, it's nothing." Jonah looked at me with concern " Stephanie I know that something's bugging you, please tell me what's going on." I composed myself and said "I had a dream that we were married and then everything started on fire and I heard Aickmans voice saying something, I don't remember what though." Jonah hugged me and said "It's alright it's just a dream." I swear I felt a tear come from his face, and I know why. Me and him both knew that it wouldn't last, and neither of us wants it to end. He held me until I fell asleep with tears flowing from both of our faces.
