Thank you to the loyal fans, who are still paying attention to this immensely, deprived story. Trust me it was worthwhile because this is going to be a long chapter.
Also, did anyone else notice how the name Vade Kellon is pretty close to Wade Killgallen from the first episode of the second season called Sidekicks? I don't think I even saw this episode, or at least remembered it well enough, when I made up his name.

Chapter 11: Dreams
*Thump, thump, thump*
Nat ran manically towards the door, so he wouldn't keep whoever was there waiting.
I hope this doesn't take long. I still have to wash the dishes, make up with Alex, and finish at least one more class before Rosalina gets here.
He took a quick moment to catch his breath, before he eased the door open.
"Hey," Rosalina said with a smile.
"Oh…hey," Nat said distractedly, trying to smile back. Crap! She's early! "Uh, come in."
"What's up?" Rosalina asked picking up on Nat's sudden nervousness.
"Nothing," He answered quickly.
"Right…"
"Hey, are you feeling alright? You look a little tired," Nat said as he tried to usher Rosalina towards the stairs.
"Look Nat, if you didn't want me to come over… I'll just go, okay?" Rosalina said, starting to walk towards the door.
"No, Rosalina it's not that! It's just…"
"What?"
"I have a lot on mind," He explained with a sigh. "The house looks like a mess, Alex is mad at me, and I still have two classes to finish!"
Rosalina bit her lip before she spoke. "The house doesn't look that messy—"
"Right," Nat said sarcastically while he shook his head.
"And you know Alex, he'll come around," She continued reassuringly.
"I'm not sure he will," He sighed. Nat sat down on the steps, his head in his hands. "Everything's pilling up on him too. I can't believe I forgot to pick him up…"
"You forgot to pick him up? In this weather?"
"I'm really stressed, okay?" Nat said louder than he meant to. "Sorry…"
"It's okay," Rosalina said as she sat down beside him and began to rub his back. "Nat, maybe you should take a little break."
"That's what Cooper said when he called a few minutes ago."
"Well, you should listen to him."
"I want to but—"
"No buts, I think you could use the rest more than me." Before he could object again, Rosalina started to pull him up.
Nat followed her up the stairs to his room, but when they got there he just stood in the doorway.
"What's the matter?" Rosalina asked when she realized Nat was no longer following her.
"It's just…I feel guilty."
"You have no reason to feel guilty."
"Well, okay," Nat said finally giving in. He almost instantly fell asleep when he hit the bed.

Alex sighed while he ran his hands through his long, dark curls.
I can't believe she's dating him.
Vade Kellon was simply put, a jerk. He could make many girls swoon for his wavy, ear length hair, deep blue eyes, and nose ring. But Alex never thought Juanita would buy into it, especially since both of them knew about his heartbreaker reputation and drug related problems.
With another sigh, Alex rested his head on his pillow, memories of easier times with Juanita coming into his head. Things had rarely been easy for Alex when it came to girls though, especially Juanita.
Juanita's rough exterior paired next to her unique beauty, made Alex only try harder with her. She never seemed interested though, not in him, or anyone else.
I guess I was wrong.

David smiled in relief that he could take a break from his assignment.
He was in such a comfortable position that he started to drift off, despite that it was only 2:00 in the afternoon.
He fell into a dream the lyrics to the band's old song, Mystery Girl, blaring.
Who's that mystery girl, who I see on my block?
David was suddenly in a flashback. The band was filming the music video for Long Distance. It was all slow motion and everything was blurred except for one figure. Just as he was about to see the figure's face, her face, he was propelled to the college library.
I never believed in love at first sight, but I was wrong, oh wrong.
He was with Reece at their normal table were they kidded and laughed together.
A few minutes later they got up to leave the library, but stopped to look at the sunset before going their separate ways.
Caught up in the moment they suddenly found themselves, tentatively at first then passionately, kissing.
Oh mystery girl, I wish you were real…
When they broke apart David noticed something about the girl standing before him. She was Reece…
You might not remember me, but I remember you.
Short for Patrice.

Rosalina closed her eyes while she snuggled into her boyfriend. She forced her eyes to open and was instantly greeted by Nat's Beatles, plastered ceiling. She yawned and soon, despite her attempts to stay awake, also found herself falling asleep.
In her dream, a sixteen year old Rosalina walked through a long, full white hallway. She felt nearly blinded by the nothingness.
Near its end, she could see a hunched over figure and ran up to it. Rosalina could now tell that it was a boy of about thirteen or fourteen. She taped his shoulder and he turned singing to her.
"I've got a question for you. I've got a question for you. Do you love me, yeah? Do you love me, yeah?"
"Nat?" Rosalina whispered once she realized who it was.
Nat shook his head and began to slowly walk forward before singing again. "Tell me what's right. Give me reason and sight. Give me…"
Rosalina jogged after him trying to gain his attention. "Nat wait!"
"Do you love me...?" He whispered to her, his eyes desperate.
"Yes, I do love you," She whispered back to him.
They were now inches apart and Rosalina thought they were going to kiss. But all of a sudden, Nat turned his eyes dark and sad singing.
"I will try not to fall in love again, but I don't know if I can…"
"Nat stop! Where are you going?" Rosalina asked as she reached for his arm.
But he started to fade while he sang. "Why'd you have to go…?"
"Nat wait! Where are you going? Where are you going?" Rosalina cried out. But he just faded away.
Nat woke up immediately to the sound of Rosalina's cries. She tossed with tears streaming down her face as she called for him.
"Nat wait! Don't leave me! Where are you going…?"

One is ok, two is fine, three is enough
The lyrics quietly played in the background as Alex walked along a dusty road. Even though he didn't know where he was, he knew where he was going.
One is ok, two is fine, three is enough
Two figures stood far ahead of him, but he could see them clearly. Vade pulled Juanita towards him.
One is ok…
They began to intertwine their hands.
Two is fine…
They stared into each others' eyes and slowly kiss.
Three is enough…
Alex reached out as if this would get Juanita's attention from the miles between them. Why couldn't it be him kissing Juanita? Why couldn't it be him?
I just have the urge to kiss you, when I know it's too late
Now he was barely a foot away from them, but none of them noticed. "NOTICE ME!" Alex called out desperately. "Notice me…"
Maybe tomorrow you will maybe suddenly see
He touched Juanita's cheek but she couldn't feel it. The only one she noticed was Vade.

"Rosalina!" Nat said while he shook her. "Rosalina, wake up!"
She jumped up frightened then turned towards Nat. She looked at him only for a few seconds before bursting into a fit of tears.
"I'm right here, I'm right here" Nat soothed while he hugged her.
"Y-you di-di-disappeared," Rosalina sobbed.
"It's okay, it was just a dream Rosie," Nat said as he tried to wipe away her oncoming tears.
"But what if it comes back…" She said more to herself then to Nat.
"What are you talking about Rosalina?" Nat asked confused.
Rosalina opened her mouth like she was going to speak, but all that came out was 'I' before she started crying again.
Nat just pulled her even closer to him allowing her to cry.
