Hayley's POV
I opened my eyes to see Rodney kneeling next to me. He smiled at me as I sat up and looked at him. "You just never want to go to sleep, do you?" he asked playfully.
"I rather not to, especially since I think Ross is mad at me... he said he's not, but this is my dream... and I feel sooo bad that it is" I replied sadly looking down at my feet. Rodney put a finger under my chin and lifted my head to look at him. "If it'll make you stop frowning, it's not you dream... it's me... I can jump into a person's subconscious when they're sleeping... so we're both really here right now... it's just a matter of who's controlling it, and I can tell you right now, it's not you"
"Really?"
"Would I lie to you?"
"I don't know... would you?"
"No Hayleybear, I really wouldn't"
"So, wait, I'm sleeping right now? But I was just kissing Ross"
"I know, I made you fall asleep"
"What?! Why would you do that?!"
"Because I missed you so much"
"Awww! Rodney! You're so sweet!" Did I really just say that?! Rodney smiled at me and then leaned over and kissed me. Once he pulled back he put a hand on my cheek. "Why are you with Ross? Why not come and be with me?"
"Because I love Ross!"
"If you really loved him, would you be here letting me kiss you?"
"I... oh my God"
"You see?"
"Wait... but you just said that it's you controlling this! Not me!" I stood up and so did he. "You're trying to pin me against the love of my f***ing life all because you were a b**** and killed his parents and then took away his mortality" I screamed at him. He slapped me, and I fell to my knee, holding my cheek. "How f***ing dare you? You have no idea what I'm f***ing capable of! I could kill you off right now if I wanted" he hissed at me. You can't control me anymore Rodney, I thought, I'm taking this back over. The pain in my cheek immediately stopped and I could feel myself being overcome with rage. I stood up and was death staring Rodney, and his confidence immediately tuned to fear. "No Rodney, how f***ing dare you" I started walking towards him, but I was able to keep him glued to the spot he was in, no matter how much he struggled to break away "You don't just come into my head and mess with my mind just so you can get back at Ross, I don't know what ever turned you into this bitter monster that you are, but you better take that and keep it as far away from me and Ross as you can or... let's just say, you won't be able to be the monster you are anymore" I threatened, I was now right in front of Rodney. I could see the fear in his eyes as he tried to break away from the spot he was on, but to no avail. "You don't scare me" he said.
"On the contrary, I make you tremble" I spat at him.
I opened my eyes to see Ross looking down at me with extreme concern. Once he saw my eyes open he loosened up a little bit. I shot up and wrapped him in a hug, and wouldn't let go. I felt Ross wrap his arms around me too. "Hayley" he whispered in my ear "Are you okay?" I shivered at the sound of his voice. Goddo I love the sound of hisvoice! I didn't answer but he could feel that I was so happy to be back in reality. "What the f*** happened? I don't think you've everbeen so happy to see me" he said. I loosened my hug and moved back so I could look at Ross's face. "I just think it's amazing to be able to have you with me Ross" I said sweetly. I could feel myself (unintentionally) projecting all of my feelings of love towards Ross and I could feel that he felt every last one of them. He smiled self-consciously and sent all of his feelings my way too. I pulled him back over and kissed him. Once I pulled back I looked deep into his amazing brown eyes. "I love you Ross, sooo much" I said smiling.
"I know you do Hayley... and I love you too, the same, even, if not more" he said back smiling just the same, and then he pulled me back over and kissed me.
