Lara cupped Dana’s face with her hands. “Dana, it was just a bad dream. Just go back to sleep and try to figure about it. Nothing bad happened, I promise.”

Dana nodded her head. “Ok, I’ll try and sleep.”

Lara smiled. “Thank you babe,” she gave her a peck on the lips and laid back down. Dana sighed and pushed her hair back out of her face. She laid back down and tried to go back to sleep.

RRRRRIINNNNGGG!

            Dana shot up from her pillow when she heard the phone ring. She looked over and saw that Lara was fast asleep.  She took a deep breath and got out of bed. She tip-toed out of the room and closed the door. She walked into the living room and waited for the answering machine to pick up. She started to get that cold feeling in the pit of her stomach. She was fearing of what she might hear. Did her dream come true? She needed to know. Dana felt a lump in her throat when she heard Shane’s voice come onto the machine.

“Dana, I know that it’s late, but this is important” Shane took a deep breath. “It’s AliceShe was in an accident tonight” Dana felt her knees give out from under her. She dropped to the floor and brought her knees to her chest. She brought her hands up to her eyes and began to cry. She didn’t want to hear anything else; she didn’t want any of this to be true. She began to rock back and forth on the floor. The sound of Shane’s voice was still in the background, but Dana didn’t hear anything.

      Lara heard a thump from the living room. She woke up and noticed that Dana wasn’t by her side. She sighed and got up thinking that Dana ran into something. She walked out of the room and went to the living room.

“Dana, what are you-. Dana” Lara saw her girlfriend sitting on the floor, rocking back and forth. Lara knelt beside her and wrapped her arms around her. She held her tight and rubbed her back. “Babe what happened?”

“There wasan accidentAliceshe’s hurt” Dana couldn’t continue and began to weep on Lara’s shoulder. Lara felt guilty for telling Dana that everything was going to be, but Dana was right. Her dream did come true.
