Chapter 4
Michael and Maria's hotel room
Michael is sound asleep but is having a familiar dream. In his dream he is standing on a cliff just like before. He sees Isabel down below him. She looks up at him then turns away. A man walks up to Isabel. It's Kyle. Kyle leans in to kiss Isabel but before he can, Michael comes down from the cliff and kisses Isabel. Michael and Isabel both wake up gasping. Maria wakes up at the sound of Michael's gasp. Michael is in a sweat.
Maria: Michael? Michael, what is it? What's wrong?
Michael: Nothing. It was nothing. I'm fine.
Isabel and Kyle's hotel room
Isabel has turned on one of the lamps. She too is sweating.
Kyle: Isabel, you okay?
Isabel: I'm fine.
Kyle: You don't look fine. Here, let me get you some water. Kyle goes to the sink and fills a cup. Here you go.
Isabel: Thanks.
Kyle: Are you sure you're okay?
Isabel: Yea strange dream that's all.
Kyle: Want to talk about it?
Isabel: Not really.
Kyle: Okay, well I'm here if you need me. You know that right?
Isabel: I do now. Kyle gives Isabel a strange look.
Kyle: Did something happen between us in that dream of yours?
Isabel: Kyle.
Kyle: Right, sorry. Kyle gets in his bed. So will you be okay tonight? Because if you want, you can...
Isabel: I'll be fine Kyle but thanks for the offer.
Kyle: Okay well then good night Isabel. Kyle turns off the lamp.
Isabel: Night Kyle. As soon as Isabel closes her eyes the dream returns. Kyle is sitting on a rock, far away from Michael and Isabel. Michael and Isabel are having a conversation.
Michael: You know why I'm here don't you?
Isabel: To stop me from making a mistake.
Michael: You can't trust him Isabel. The only reason Kyle is with us is because of Max but the thing I want to know is why Kyle is here right now.
Isabel: I wish I knew the answer to that Michael.
Michael: Do you love him?
Isabel: I don't know. Do you love Maria? Because if you didn't, you wouldn't be here right now.
Michael: I guess if you loved Kyle, neither would you.
Isabel: So where does that leave us?
Michael: The only place we can go I guess. Michael moves closer to Isabel and kisses her. No more moving backwards Isabel. It's time to move forward and embrace our future.
Isabel: But it's a planned future Michael.
Michael: Maybe so but that still doesn't change the way I feel about you.
Isabel: And how do you feel?
Michael: I feel like every time I'm with you I can be myself. I can open up to you about anything and you always understand. You've always stood by my side and rarely question my motives when everyone else thinks that I screw up. I feel as if my life isn't as bad as it seems. When I'm with you I feel like I can fly Isabel. You make me feel something that I could never in a million years feel with Maria. I love you Isabel. Isabel says nothing. Feel free to say something. Isabel says nothing and the dream ends.
