Emily: "Alison! Please wake up!"

I wake up, startled, with tear stained cheeks and sweat on my forehead. It was just a dream. She's still here. I look up to her and wrap her in the biggest hug.

Emily: "Are you okay? You were crying in your sleep."

Alison: "Bad dream."

Emily: "Must have been pretty bad for you to have been crying in your sleep. What was it about?"

Alison: I bury my face in her hair. "This was all a dream... You were dead and-" I got choked up. "And you were the one who was gone, not me. Emily I'm so sorry I put you through that! I never want to experience something like that! That was the worst dream I've ever had... I couldn't imagine it being reality."

Emily: "Shh. Hey you've apologized a thousand times Alison and I've forgiven you. You don't need to apologize. I'm not going anywhere, I'm staying right here with you. That nightmare will never be reality, I promise." I nod and She kisses my head and just holds me in our hug.

After a little while, we pull back and stare at each other. I lean in closer to her.

Alison: "What time is it?"

Emily: "1am."

Alison: "We slept for a while. About nine hours."

Emily: "I know. We needed it."

We're very close to each other right now. I can feel her breath on my face as she speaks. I lean in closer and connect our lips slowly. I feel her smile into the kiss as she pulls me closer. Her hands are on the exposed skin between my tank top and my shorts. My hands are placed firmly on the front of her shoulders.

Emily lays me down and is now on top of me. My arms instinctively wrap around her neck and hers are on either side of my head, holding her above me. She pulls her head away and lays her head on mine, my arms are still circled around her neck.

Emily: "See? This isn't a dream. This is very much reality and it always will be."

Alison: "I'm glad that it is. I would die if I didn't have you."

Emily: She leans back down and places a soft kiss on my lips. "It's a good thing that will never happen then." She whispers before laying on her side.

She keeps her head touching mine and locks our fingers together, resting them on my stomach.

Alison: I rub the back of her hand with my thumb. "I love you Emily."

Emily: she slides closer to me until there is no longer any gap between us. "I love you too Ali."

I'm so glad that was just a dream. I literally had no idea what to do and was so confused. It scared the hell out of me. It just shows me how much she means to me, how much I need her in my life. I couldn't live properly without her, she's like my air and without her I wouldn't be able to breathe. I know how corny this must sound but it's the truth. I don't know how I've lived without being with her before this.

I have a hard time going back to sleep, afraid that I'll have to live that again. But I eventually end up falling back asleep in Emily's tight embrace.

Phew! Good thing it was a dream right?;) you really didn't think that that'd be real right? I couldn't do that lol. The dream just showed Ali how much she really loves Emily and how much she needs her in her life.
