11.

I'm walking to work with my head lost in thoughts. I know Brian told me to stay home but I have to do something to keep me from thinking about that dream.

Was I still sleeping this morning when I saw Danny in the mirror? Or is it just my imagination? I'm missing him so much my mind is playing tricks on me.

I stopped at the traffic light, it was the same place where Danny first saved me.

'Tom' I suddenly heard Danny's voice say my name. I looked around but there was no one.

'Wake up' he said. I looked in the window next to me and there he was, instead of my own reflexion I saw Danny and I'm definitely not sleeping now! To check I closed my eyes and opened them again but he had disappeared.

I noticed the traffic light was green now so I started walking again. What's going on? Why am I seeing Danny instead of my own reflexions and why is he telling me to wake up?

I thought back to the dream. The last thing I remember is seeing red eyes.

Oh my god! Why didn't I realize this before? Red eyes, Mino's eyes! just like last time he blacked me out but what if instead of just blacking me out he has created a whole new world inside my head using my memories? what if I'm still on Xion trapped in my mind? And Danny is trying to reach me, he's been telling me to wake up. But how do I do that? How do I escape from this trap?

Determined to do something I stormed to work. Once there I started to break everything standing. I was letting out all the years of frustration of not living like I wanted.

'Tom? What's going on?' Brian asked me

I stopped when I saw him. breathing heavily and sweating, I smiled at him. Then I started to punch him and guess what? It felt sooooo good!

After breaking everything down and punching everyone that stepped in my way I went back to my apartment. There I did the same. I broke everything down until I had no energy left and fell down on what was left of my bed.

'Tom' I heard Danny say again. I immediately ran to the mirror. It was the only thing I left untouched.

'Danny!'

'Wake up' he said again

'I'm trying, I'm trying!' I said desperate

'I can't stay long but it's important that you know this'

'Know what?' I asked

'You have to try to get out of this as soon as possible because the longer you stay here the more powerful Mino gets and then you'll never be able to escape'

'As soon as possible, go it' I said panicky. 'I love you' I added when I saw he was starting to fade.

Danny smiled warmly 'I love you too' he said and then disappeared completely.

With new found energy I climbed to my roof. I think the only solution to get out of this world is to die here. A bit nervous I stepped on the edge.

Come on Tom, you can do this! It isn't real. You won't die in real life. I closed my eyes and wanted to take the step when

'Don't' a voice suddenly said. It wasn't Danny. It was a voice I hadn't heard yet.

An arm was laid down on my shoulder and turned me around.
