..::chapter Five::..Dream or Reality?

            I jumped and sat forward as a warm hand was pressed to my hand.  The hand moved and it was replaced with a cool.

"I wonder what is wrong..."

            Ran...is that Ran...but why does he care about me...with what he did... I open my eyes and close them right after...geeze it must be sometime around noon it's really bright outside.

"Ken are you ok?  How do you feel?"

"Ran...Get...away!"

            I regretted those three words right after they left my mouth.  He looked at me so sad I didn't think I could bear it.  He seemed hurt...but why should he be hurt when he...he...Tears started to wield up in my eyes...

"Ken...what's wrong?"

            He looked at me so worried.  He took my hand to give me support and I let it stay there for a brief second forgetting what he had done to me.  His hand was so warm...so warm...I suddenly remembered what he did and I pull back my hand.  His face again shows sadness beyond any emotion I have seen from him.  Am I wrong to act this way? To feel this way?

"Ken...what happened in your dream that..."

            I watched as he looked down and didn't continue his sentence...but then it hit me..Dream? It was all a dream...but it was so real...How could it be...my thoughts were interrupted by a very worried red head.

"Your blood sugar was really low and you wouldn't wake up...I was so worried about you Ken...You must have had a really bad dream..."

            I think about it remember laying down to take a nap then I gasp as I remember how fast I feel asleep and remember feeling kind of weak but tried to ignore the fact that I probably need sugar.  This whole time I thought he did. Such a thing to me and it was all just a dream...How could I think Ran would do such a thing to me...but then Kase. A new set of tears rolled down my face at the thought of my former lover.  It has been almost two years since I have seen Kase...and I'm hoping it to be the last.

"Ran...I'm sorry I don't want to talk about it."

            He nodded and got up to answer the door which I didn't even hear the knock but sure enough a small blonde was standing outside the door asking about how I was doing.  I only heard a few of Ran's words which were "He needs rest you can come back later Omi if you want to see him."  With a nod from the small blonde the door closed and Ran walked the few steps to get back to the side of the bed.

"Ken whenever you are ready to talk I am here...I love you"

            I didn't respond...but then I didn't know how.  Should I respond by saying "I love you"?  But do I really feel that way...Would I have believed that dream if I really loved him?  I think about those things as a song on the radio comes to my attention.

                                                Love is there but is it true?

                                We play games but what do they mean?

                                I am so lost and confused.

                                Why can't you help me find my way...?

                                Find my road to travel.

A.N. Here is another chapter ^^ sorry if that's short or if it is badly written.  Usually I don't play ahead but this time I did but I wrote the first part one day then a week or two later wrote the next part.  It took a bit to figure out how I was going to start this chapter I just couldn't get the beginning to sound like I wanted it to ...well here it is the next chapter of A Lover's Dream.  Please review makes me sad when readers don't review *sniffles* bai
