All of a sudden, the ground beneath us crumbled and the three of us started falling through the air, down to the wide river below. Then, we all saw rocks that we could grab on to. We grabbed onto those rocks and held on.
"We have to climb!" I yelled, starting to climb. Deron followed slowly behind me and Jess passed him up and was climbing right next to me. Jess and I were climbing up the cliff with no trouble, but Deron was. I told Jess to stop and wait for him. He finally caught up to us but we were only halfway up the cliff.
"Fuck it. I'm climbing down to the beach." Jess said. He climbed down to the beach really, really fast. So, it was me and Deron on the side of the cliff. I looked at Deron and saw the fear in his eyes. I gave him a look that said, 'we have to climb down'. He had tears in his eyes. I started climbing downwards.
He looked me in the eye and yelled, "What are you doing? I thought you loved me! You can't leave me now! Please!" I started getting teary too but said, "We have to do this! We can't stay up here! These rocks will crumble and we're gonna fall to our deaths! Deron started crying. I didn't want to cry so I had to ignore him and climb down.
I stopped for a second catching my breath when I looked up and saw Deron jump. He jumped off the cliff, into the river full of rocks below. I knew he had died once he hit the sharp rocks. Something happened to me. I couldn't breath well or even see well. I took a really deep breath and tried climbing somemore. I grabbed at a clump of dirt that I thought was a sturdy rock and it crumbled. I fell.
All of a sudden, I jerked upward in bed, screaming. I looked all over the place for Deron, but he was nowhere to be found. One of my roommates came knocking on my door.
"I heard a scream. Let me in!" Mere said. I ran over and opened up the door. "What happened"
"Mere! Where's Deron? I have to see him." I said, panicing.
"Deron? You mean Deron Miller? Um...you have a poster of him over there." Mere pointed over at the wall.
"No! I mean, the man I was going to marry"
"Sami...you aren't gonna marry Deron. You've never even met him before"
"What?" I looked around my room, searching for some proof of him being here with me.
"I think you just had a dream." she said, trying to calm me down.
"It was too real! It couldn't have been a dream."
"Dreams always seem real." I almost started to cry. I knew it had to be real. It was too lifelike to be a dream.
"Are you gonna be okay now?" she asked me, finally. I nodded and she walked out. I got up and searched my room again.
I searched for over an hour and didn't find anything. I gave up and collapsed on my bed. I got under the covers and felt something under the blankets. I threw the comforter off of me and picked something up. It was a brush. The brush that I forgot to pack before we went on the trip. I remembered laying it in the bathroom before going to bed. What was it doing here in my bed? I didn't lay it here. Who was it? Was it one of my roommates? Or was it Deron?
