I woke up at around three dues to a nightmare that I had. I always have this nightmare about my dad's parents. I don't tell my dad though. I don't want him worrying about it. I mean, I'm twelve and nightmares don't scare me anymore, do they?

I got up to get a drink of water, but thought twice because my dad's ears don't miss a thing. If he catches me then he'll wanna know what's wrong and all that other stuff. I plopped back onto the bed, but didn't go to sleep. I just started breathing really heavily.

I looked up at the ceiling. My ceiling is really cool. I used to sneak out of the house at night and climb the roof, but my mom got sick of it and put in this little starry, shiny type sky thingy and that's what I look at now. I hate it because they're not real stars, but it'll have to do.

I tried to go back to sleep, but it's almost impossible when I have this nightmare. It's like this really odd thing. There are two people. I figured that they were my dad's parents. He looks exactly like the man in this dream. Anyway, they are both driving and then all of a sudden, I see both of them dead, but I never know what happened. I don't know why it scares me though.

I told Holly about it and she said that it was a cry for attention or that it was just a plea for wanting to see my grandparents. I just told her that I didn't know why I was having them, but they are a bit confusing.

I got my breathing under control and closed my eyes. I wasn't going back to sleep, but I had to close my eyes. I had my mom's grandparents, but I wish I had known my dad's. from the stories that he told us, they sound really nice. I guess I'll never know. I sighed and got up.

I looked at my clock and it read three-forty-five. I sighed and put my shirt back on then pulled my sneakers on. I looked at my hair then combed it back and admired myself for five seconds. My hair was now darker than it used to be and I started to have a mustache.

I gave up looking at myself, opened my window, and hopped out.

I can't believe what I'm doing. I ran down the street and down to Holly's house. Holly and I did this a lot. She'd sneak over to my house or I'd sneak over to hers and we'd sit out and look at the stars.

I looked through the window and saw her parents still up. 'Oh well,' I said to myself, 'I've been in this house plenty of times without them knowin' about it.' which is true. The other times that I got caught, then we both got grounded.

I climbed to her window and tapped on it. I had to tap on it for five minutes until she woke up. she saw that it was me and opened up. she said, "You idiot! What are you doing?"

"Listen Holly, you don't leave for another week and I want this to be the best week we've ever had…starting now. So get dressed and let's go."

"Eric," she said, "are you nuts? My parents would kill me."

"They can do that while you're in Texas. Let's go." I said. She rolled her eyes and gave me a smile. She did a quick change and then we both hopped down and ran the other way.

She said, "Eric… what is this about."

"Come on," I said grabbing her hand and running back to my house, "one night will not hurt my roof." She knew what I meant. Holly and I never climb roof because of my parents. But tonight we were.

I gave her a boost up to my room and she climbed through the window and waited for me. I got in and she said, "Eric, know matter what…I love you." I stopped…dead. I can't believe what she had just said.

"Why didn't you tell me that a long time ago?" I said.

"Because a long time ago, we were only six. I love you." She said and gave me a quick kiss on my lips. I blushed and then we headed for the roof.

I leaned into the chimney like I always do and Holly sat next to me. An Oklahoma sky is so pretty. The stars are everywhere and the sky is just the right color when the right amount of stars are there. (A/N: I'm just describing what I saw and what I felt when I saw the first Oklahoma sky. Sorry if it sounds corny)

I looked at Holly. She was fast asleep! Oh well, I just leaned my head onto hers and looked at the sky. God, it's beautiful. I sighed and closed my eyes. For some reason, I fell asleep.

I felt someone shaking me. I opened my eyes and I saw Holly. "Eric, it's five in the morning." I rubbed my eyes and she said, "I have to go. Bye." I saw her jump down to my window and then down to the ground.

Five o'clock! My dad wakes me up at five! I jumped down to my window and flew in as fast as I could. I pulled my shoes off, threw to anywhere they'd go, pulled my shirt off, threw it to no place in particular, ruffled my hair, jumped into my bed, and closed my eyes.

I slowed my breathing down as much as I could and put the covers over my body. I opened my eyes as soon as he came in. I didn't like when my dad shook me awake so I let him know that I was already awake.

"Oh good, you're up." he said. I nodded my head and muttered to myself, "Not that you care."

"What was that?" he asked. I shook my head and said, "Nothing. Just talking to myself." I rolled my eyes and got out of bed. I put on a new pair of pants and another shirt and walked down to the kitchen. I hate mornings. Especially this morning because I barely got any sleep last night.

Don't ask me why my dad wakes me up this early because I don't know. Oh well. I mean, all I do is watch TV until six then wake Kate and Cory up. I already saw Uncle Dally, Elizabeth, Aunt Alicia, Jacob, Uncle Steve, Aunt Evie, and Angela up. how did they do that. you can't get Elizabeth up this early if you paid her. I looked at everyone and sat down at one of the tables my dad lye out.

"Want some orange juice?" my mom asked.

"No. water." I said and rested my head into my hands. I never drink anything, but water. Orange juice makes me sick, I can't stand milk, and sodas are too rough on my throat, so I just drink water. I drink stuff like juice, but mostly water.

My mom nodded and brought the drink to the table. I thanked her and gulped it down. I ran upstairs and called Holly. I don't think Holly is up at this time, but I don't care.

She answered with a very grouchy, "What!"

"Holly," I said, "it's Eric. I just thought of something."

"It couldn't wait?" she said sounding tired.

"No!" I shouted. "I just realized that I didn't say I love you too last night. I wanna say it now." I said.

"Ok. I love you." She said. Her voice sounded calmer.

"I love you too." I said.

"Well thank you. Now I'm gonna go back to sleep because I'm really tired and I think that I have to be up in like an hour and I'm really tired. Gotta go. Bye." She hung up the phone and so did I.

I ran back down stairs and said, "Good morning everyone." I was in a much better mood. Nobody probably cared or noticed, but I didn't care that they didn't care. I love Holly!
