The thief that stole my heart
Chapter 2
Anna's POV
I woke up in the middle of the night and sighed deeply. I was covered in a cold sweat, face dripping with tears, and my heart throbbing. I once again had my dream about being in a casket with my family looking in on me crying. It hurts me so bad to see them like that, and they were talking about me being died, but I'm not, I was in the casket still breathing! I was yelling at my family, but no one heard, and then I was lowered in the ground, and dirt started to cover the casket and I could not stop it, and that is where I always wake up, I hate this dream, but since the day I learned I had cancer again. I would have the dream countless times. When in the hospital, I would have this dream close to every night, which sucks, I hate this dream, but no matter what I do, I can't stop it.
After lying restless for a few more minutes, and slowing my heart rate down, I got up and grabbed a change of clothes and headed for the bathroom. Cleaning myself up a bit, and changing my clothes, I headed down the stairs and looked around to see what they had to eat. Settling on carrots, cucumbers, and some low-fat dip they had, and a glass of water, I sat down and looked around sighing. I missed my parents, but I am happy to be here with Peter and El, today was my first day with them, and it was great, with lunch, then shopping with Aunt El, and dinner as a family, and ending the night with a movie. I went to sleep not long after, and then that stupid dream.
Right now I was watching some stupid late night show, when I heard someone on the stair, so I looked up, and yep, right there was my uncle, with a puzzled look on his face. Ok he is wondering why I was up. I could easily come up with something, but do I want to lie to Peter? Simply the answer is no. I love Peter, and I know he loves me, so I don't want to lie, but I don't want to talk about it either, but it might be best.
Peter sat a next to me and put his arm around my shoulder, he could tell I had a problem, but he was not sure I wanted to share or not. I'm not sure either, it's hard to talk about dreaming about death. Who dreams about stuff like that? Sick people that is who; I wonder sometimes if I am crazy.
I glanced up at Peter, he just watched the show, like this was normal. Peter looked down at me and smiled as he moved some of my hair from my eyes and kissed my forehead. That simply made me smile, and feel loved.
"Want to tell me what is going on? Why are you up so late honey?" He asked while he put his arm back on my shoulder and stared to rub.
I sighed while I turned back to the TV and thought if I should or shouldn't tell him what is going on, but it might help talking about it, "I had a bad dream. I've been having the same dream for over a year. Since last time I had cancer. I can't sleep after the dream; I dream I'm in a coffin in the ground, but still breathing, but no one hears me, so they bury me. So I just came down and started watching TV. Sorry if I woke you." I said looking at Peter when I finished and gave him a sweet smile, trying to ease him over and keep him calm. I don't need my uncle freaking out, or anything.
Peter just nodded a little and smiled at me, "Well it's just a dream, I'm right here, and I hear you talking." He merely replied, while pulling me closer and gave my shoulder a squeeze, pulling me closer into his embrace, and gave me a soft peck on my head, "So what do you want to do tomorrow? I am only on call so we can go off and do something if you like." He said.
Easy to say, my smile grew bigger as he said that. Perfect! "Museums!" I said a little too loud, but made him laugh. I forgot how warm his laugh was, or how comforting it was. After talking a little bit longer, we ended up falling asleep on the couch with the TV still on. Tomorrow is going to be a good day; the only thing that could make it better would be that sexy blue eyed man coming alone.
