“Dane, what’s wrong sweetie?” she moves closer to me and I see the worry spread on her face.

I still can’t shake it, ” Alice, I’m so scared. Something is wrong Al. Please Alice, just don’t let me fall asleep, ok Alice?” I start to sob, I can’t control it, ” Alice, I don’t want to leave Al, if I leave I can’t hold you, Alice please, Alice, please, god I don’t know what to do”.

She’s crying, there are s many tears, but she’s still so shiny, the light is so blinding, ” Alice, why are you so shiny, it’s so bright in here Al”.

I feel her move closer to me, and the light dims a little, and all I see is her beautiful face, ” it’s okay Dane,” she forces a smile and caresses my cheek, ” you can always hold me I swear baby, I’ll feel you”.

I want to believe her so badly, ” you swear Al?”

She nods her head, and I feel her tears drop onto my chest, ” I swear Dane, don’t be scared baby, I’ll be there soon. Remember, I told you I would follow you wherever you went” she starts to cry, I don’t know why but she’s crying so hard.

Suddenly I feel my eyelids getting heavy, ” why are you crying Alice? I believe you, you don’t have to cry, I was so scared there for a second” and I smile at her, even though I am so sleepy.

Then I see her smile back at me, ” trust me baby. I love you Dana, I love you so much”.

It’s so hard to keep my eyes open, ” I love you too Al. only you. I’m so sleepy, I guess I was worried for no reason then. I’m just gonna sleep for a little while. I got so scared, it felt like I was going to leave”.

I can hear her sobs, ” yeah Dane, go to sleep baby. I’ll wake you up later, I love you”.

It’s summer weather and yet I feel so cold, ” hey Al, can you come closer, it’s getting kinda cold”.

I feel her come closer to me and I still don’t know why she’s crying. But I can’t keep my eyes open. I’ll just talk to her when I wake up.

I close my eyes, but for some reason, instead of it getting darker, it gets really bright. That’s when I realized what really happened. I’m so sorry Alice.

After a little while I felt the urge to wake up, and when I started to the bright lights started to dim. I felt so energized, and so alive, and I felt my hair, it was flowing again, just like it used to. I looked around and I couldn’t recognize where I was, it was some house, and it carried this warmth that I did recognize. I started to walk down this long hallway, and I saw all the pictures Alice made for me. I miss you so much Alice. Finally I reached the end of the hallway, and I opened the door in front of me.

I felt the tears reach my eyes at the sight, I couldn’t believe it until I heard her words, ” I told you I’d follow you wherever you went, we belong together Dane, and now we can live our dreams together in heaven baby”.

The End
