Suddenly Mel woke up and smelled coffee. She went downstairs and watched Jim making breakfast.
"Good morning sweetheart" Jim kissed her. He smelled so good. Mel really had problems to stay on her feet. "Are you okay?? You're looking sick?!"
"Yeah, I had a weird dream last night. I couldn't sleep well."
"Ghost related??"
"Nope. Just strange and creepy."
"Why didn't you wake me up?? What happened in you dream?"
"Well, it was so real that I didn't realise that it was one. Actually I cannot remember what happened…"
"Anyway… When are we gonna go to your mom?"
"Today? Ahhhhh… Right. Well I don't know. We said 2pm, I guess."
"Yeah, you told me something like this. Why don't you just get upstairs and sleep a bit? You are white as a corpse."
"I cannot sleep right now. I'm too jumpy. But I know something that always makes me feel better!!" Mel grinned and kissed Jim. He lifted Mel up and brought her up to the bedroom. The phone rang when he retired Mel. It was Beth.
"Hey Jim, I hope I didn't wake you?!"
"Ohh, hey. Nope we were awake anyway. What's up?"
"Well, could I please talk to Melinda?"
"Yeah, of course. Honey, it's Beth for you?!"
"Thanks, sweetheart. Mom?"
"Hey Mel."
"What happened? Why are you calling? I thought we'd meet today anyway?!"
"Yeah… Well… I'm kind of freaked out right now and I thought you'd like to know it. I had a weird dream last night… I dreamt about today and that you couldn't come because of some freaked accident! So I wanted to hear if everything is okay?!"
"You had that dream, too?? It has to mean something. Well, see you later, bye."
Mel hung up the phone.
"My mom had the same dream as I had. That's strange isn't it? Jim? JIM?"
Jim wasn't in the bed room anymore. Mel started to look for him but he wasn't at home. She found a little pink paper hanging on the fridge which said: Bobby called me. I have to cover for him. I'll be back at 12am. Just have breakfast. Love you, Jim. XOXOX
So Melinda had breakfast and went into the bathroom in order to get a shower and change clothes. After that she left the house and drove to her store. The glass was damaged and the inside was destroyed. Melinda went inside the store and stared to clean up. Suddenly she heard a noise in the basement. So she went looking there and saw Jim lying on the floor.
And there was the shadow of Melinda's dream. She could see him. It was a male who seemed to be familiar to her. She couldn't tell where she met him. But that didn't matter at this moment. Melinda wanted see if Jim was okay. She had a strange feeling when she came closer to him. It was a feeling like he was a stranger. Melinda was confused. She called 911.
"Hey, this is an emergency. My husband is unconscious. I think he fell into the window of my store, Same As It Never Was."
"Okay, we'll send an ambulance to you!"
"Okay, thanks." She hung up the phone and stroked Jim's head. "Everything will be fine, Jim."
Then the ambulance arrived and put Jim to the hospital. Melinda waited while the doctors were running tests on him. She remembered her dream. What if this was a warning??, Melinda thought. Suddenly she saw Jim walking straight to her.
"Jim? Wow… That was quick. What did the doctor say?? Are you okay?"
"Erm… Mel, what are you talking about? I wasn't at the doctor's. I just brought in a patient and wanted to get something to drink and then I met you…"
"Noooo… You had an accident… You fell into the window of my store. I called the ambulance cause you were unconscious. Bobby brought you here!!!"
"Nope, I was at the fire station when an old man had to be rescued. He fell down the stairs…"
"But I know my husband when I see him." Melinda didn't understand anything. A doctor was walking towards Melinda and Jim.
"Hey Jim, as I see you are felling better?!"
"Hey Martin, yeah, I'm fine." Martin left.
"You see, I'm not nuts… you had an accident."
"Mel this is nonsense. Let's go home and tomorrow everything will be fine again!!"
"Okay, let's go."
While they were going through the floors Melinda watched into all the windows of the rooms. Suddenly she saw Jim lying in one of the beds. The doctors were trying to bring him back.
