JAMIE'S P.O.V

I was in a small room full of people. Everyone was wearing black and crying. What am I doing here? I was just in Lyoko and now I'm in this room. I saw someone come up to me with tears in her eyes.

"Oh Jamie, I'm so glad you're here! People didn't think that you would fly all the way from France to come to the funeral but you're here! I missed you so much!" It was my best friend Amy. She hadn't stayed in touch with me when I went to France. She hugged me.

I pulled away from her and looked around. I walked down a hallway and I passed a mirror. My hair was pulled back in two bobby pins on each side and curls were cascading down my back. I was in a black dress with strappy black heels. I looked at my face. I had deep brown eye shadow on and mascara and eyeliner. Pink blush was barely visible on my cheeks and clear gloss was on my lips.

Walking back into the smaller room I saw flowers everywhere. All different kinds, lilies, tulips, mums, roses. I spotted many of my friends from Virginia. But this is weird. How did I arrive back in the states? I walked through the rows of chairs facing a platform to try to find what is going on.

Then I saw it. The casket.

Inside the beautiful dark mahogany casket lined with white silk was him. Alex. One of my friends. The boy who I told everything to, and he told me everything. We liked each other, but we never admitted it. He looked so peaceful. His eyes were closed and his glasses rested neatly on his face. His hair looked like it was gelled and styled. He laid so still.

I was in shock. My Alex was dead. Dead. That word seemed so wrong, so confusing. I started to cry. Tears were streaming down my face, massing up my makeup. But I didn't care one damn bit. Alex was gone. I will never see or talk to him again. Never to tell him how I really felt. I sobbed and someone laid a hand on my shoulder. I spun around and faced Amy. She had tears in her eyes, threatening to fall.

"Jamie I am so sorry. I know how much he meant to you and you guys left things on such bad terms. Oh god you poor thing." She tried to hug me again but I stepped away.

"W-what happened t-t-to him?" I asked shakily. She shook her head.

"He was in a car crash. He was in the car with Jake going over 100 miles per hour. Jake was drunk so Alex told him he was going to drive. Jake started yelling and shoved Alex in the car. He got in and started doing over 90 on the curvy road by the river." I squeaked, not wanting to hear the rest. But I had to. I need to know how he died. I motioned for her to go on. "Alex was trying to grab the steering wheel from Jake because he kept swerving. And then Jake was going faster and lost control of the car. The hit a tree and half the car went into the river. Jake was found in the car and Alex flew into the woods. They couldn't find his body for hours." By then Amy could barely talk. She walked away from me and ran towards the door. I stared after her.

Jake killed Alex. I can't believe it. Jake and Alex were best friends. A car crash. Thrown from the car into the woods. I looked at Alex in his casket and broke down. I grabbed his hand and pulled back. It was cold as ice. This was just a body. His beautiful body that was left from that horrible crash. I bowed my head into my arms and cried. I don't care if anyone heard or saw me. I will never see this man again.

"I love you Alex. I always have and always will. With those long talks and quick smiles in the hallways at school. And with those meaningful stares we both held our gazes to. But not once have we told each other how we felt. But I am saying it now. I love you Alex. With all my heart. And I will never see you again and I am going to miss you so much!" I couldn't speak anymore. I was crying to hard. Everyone stopped to look at me but I don't care. They can stare and comment all they want.

I wiped my eyes and looked at his beautiful face. I want to remember it forever. I sigh and a fresh wave of tears flow down my face. I trace his cheekbones with my finger and the outline of his lips. He's so cold. I hate this.

I turned around and walk out of the room and sit down in a chair that is lined on the hallway. I place my head in my hands and I bawl. Everything comes right out. My stomach is sore from sobbing. I feel like I am going to be sick. My hair is a mess. I feel a gaze on me. Someone is watching me and not looking away. The hair on my neck stands straight up and it turns cold in the corridor. I look up.

Standing across from me, leaning against the wall is Alex. Well, what appears to be Alex. He is transparent and looks like he is in the casket. Perfect. I let out a gasp and my eyes grow huge. He smirks. The ghost of Alex McCormick smirked.

"I heard that little speech you said. And you know what?" He walked close to me and got down on his knees. He tried to grab my hands but he went right through me. He is so cold. I lifted up my hands so he could get a better grip. He looked straight into my eyes. "I fell the exact same way. I feel bad that I went out with Sam when I knew I had feelings for you. It has always been you, Jamie. I will never forget you either. I want you to know that I loved being around you. Everything about you made my day seem so much better. I am so glad you came into my life Jamie Lucas. You are the best thing that could happen to me. I know I didn't show it in the best way because I didn't know how you felt about me. But now that I do I can say one thing for sure. I love you" And with that he planted a soft (but very cold) kiss on my lips. I closed my eyes. When I opened them again, he was gone.

I drop my hands. I looked around wildly for him I didn't want him to leave! Not yet. I didn't even get to say goodbye…

Soon everything turned sort of fuzzy. I felt dizzy and saw flashes of what looked like a cemetery, a burial ceremony, and a casket going into the ground. I tried to make it stop. I wanted to stay there for him. But I opened my eyes and I found myself in my dorm room at Kadic. Staring at me with worried expressions were the Lyoko gang.

"Are you alright!" Odd asked me. I lifted my head off my pillow. I felt my face and I was sweating. I also had tears.

"W-was I cry?" I asked.

"Yeah, really bad. You were thrashing around in your bed and muttering. Sobbing and crying. We wanted to wake you and we tried. You never woke up until now," said Ulrich.

So it was all a dream. A dream. It was never true. That means Alex is still alive and a dreamed the whole thing up. Just then my phone started ringing. It was from Amy.

"Hello?" I answered. I head sobbing on the other end. "Hello? Amy?"

"Jamie. Something's happened." My eyes grew wide. Please god, no.

"W-what happened, Amy?" I asked, scared to know the answer.

"There's been a car crash. It's Alex, Jamie. He's dead."

I dropped the phone.
