Chapter 3 – Back to reality
"Emma? Are you in there?" Liz called as I sat up in my bed. "Look if you don't answer the door I'll get John to break down the door!" she threatened.
"Alright, alright! Keep your wig on!" I called as I put my slippers on. I got out of my bed and answered the door. Liz, Alex and John stood there staring at me.
"At last!" Alex commented as she and the others came into my condo. "I thought you were never going to get up!"
"Come in why don't you!" I murmured sarcastically. I slumped down into my favourite chair. They all stared at me.
"Well?" asked Liz.
"Well what?" I asked as I got up to get some juice.
"What happened last night?" Alex asked. I stopped in my tracks and turned.
"In our dream?" I asked. I knew that Alex's dream joining spell was a mistake.
"Yeah!" Liz and Alex shouted at me. "Who was that girl?"
"Ummmmmmmm…" I wondered how to start.
"Emma, why was she there?" Liz asked as she sat down on my couch. Alex and John followed. I began my story.
The guys listened in total silence as I told them what happened.
"So there you have it!" I said at the end of story. They sat in silence. As they did I took the time to evaluate what they were wearing to give me an idea on what to wear. Liz was wearing a low cut turquoise top and jeans that went perfectly with her blond waist long hair. She always looked beautiful what with being a vampire and all. I turned to Alex. She wore a deep purple top with jeans. Her short black hair was normally straight but this morning it was quite wavy. I thought that with her being a witch and all she would have sorted her hair out like that. I then recognised these outfits that we had worn the first time we met Bella. I quickly moved onto John. He was also wearing jeans with a long sleeved top. I thought it was weird seeing as it was quite sunny at the moment and him being a werewolf he would be quite hot.
"Well," Liz eventually said. "I thought I recognised her but not who we met in the field, she sort of looked like your pen pal!" She got up and went over to my dresser and was back within seconds. "See!" I took the photo from her hand. It was taken about 2 years ago in California. Me and Alex had gone for a holiday and met this girl called Bella. We had managed to take over the stage there and performed an amateur gig. So many people enjoyed it that in the end we didn't get in to any serious trouble.
"Wow I never thought I would see Bell's again!" I said as I handed back the photo I saw the phone number on my hand. I smiled.
"What are you looking at?" Asked Alex as she got up and took my hand. "OMG! You got her number!" She shrieked. Liz turned mouth open.
"Well she is going through a tough spot so I gave her my number so if she needs someone to talk to, well here I am!" I pointed at my self. Liz sighed as she went put of my condo while calling out "I'm going out! If you want to come, come now!" Alex and John got up while holding hands and followed Liz out the door.
"Alex?" I called after her.
"Yeah?" Alex said as she turned to face me.
"How long does that dream spell work for?"
Alex sighed. "It lasts for about 3 months ok?"
"Thanks Alex!"
"Alex come on!" John called from half way down the stairs.
"See you Emms!"
"See you Alex"
Then I was alone. I looked at my hand and then the time. It was 10 o'clock. I decided to Call Bella.
