Chapter 2: The Harsh Reality
" That is so weird, are you psychic or something," Matt asked curiously.
" That's going too far, it's not as fan as you think it is, there are lot of this people that I see dying in my dreams every night, it's scary and terrifying."
" Dew this is huge, like what you did today, you saved matt's boyfriend, that means that there is a chance you can save the others to," Lexy said.
It's not like it was easy to recognize all the people in my dreams and go knocking at their doors all like ' I saw you in my dreams and you are going to die, congratulations'.
" Lexy, I know you mean well but, I'm not a superhero and it's not like I know the people I dream of, I just happened to see matt's boyfriend's picture and recognize him,"
" Wait has this happen before, have you randomly ever recognized someone else," Matt asked curiously.
" The first time was at my therapist office when I saw the picture of her cousin who I dreamt had drowned, that's how I knew that the people I kept on dreaming with were actually real," I responded.
" That must have been traumatic, I can't imagine dreaming of random people and how they will die," Matt said sympathetically.
" Wait what if they aren't just random people, you must have some type of connection to dream with them," Lexy said.
" But I'm very certain that I've never met any of the people in my dream, for example Matt's boyfriend or the therapist cousin," I responded.
" But somehow you ended up knowing them through someone that you were in contact with like the therapist and Matt," Lexy said.
Lexy was right, so far all the people he had recognized he recognized through people that linked them to him. But even that wasn't that much of a breakthrough.
" Excuse me, relatives of Alex," the nurse came to inform us that we could go and see Alex.
" Babe, how are you feeling, I tried calling you but you wouldn't pick up you scared me," Matt said hugging his boyfriend.
" I'm sorry, you know I've been busy with my brother's funeral and moving his things and all that," Alex responded.
" Wait your brother just died, Matt didn't tell us, I'm sorry for your loss," Lexy said.
" I was planning to tell y'all but all this happened, he brother died of drowning and it's still hard of everyone we were very close," Matt said sadly .
" You don't happen to have a cousin who is a therapist, do you?" I currently asked.
" I do, she was very close with Todd, how did you know," Alex responded.
" Wait it can't be the same person right?" Lexy asked.
Thinking about it now maybe Lexy was correct, I couldn't have randomly be dreaming about random people that I couldn't or have a connection with. But what did this mean anyway.
" Mr Alex you are free to live now, don't forget to take your medicine," the doctor said as we planned to live and just as we were saying our goodbyes I happened to see he's wallpaper.
" Excuse me doctor, who's that on your wallpaper?" I asked as I had recognized her.
" That's my daughter, she's flying in tomorrow, wait do you know her," the doctor curiously asked and Matt and Lexy looked at me curiously.
" She's not flying in tomorrow, she's flying in today to surprise you, Cafe Star, do you recognize that name," I asked.
" Yes that's our favorite Cafe, I was planning to take her there, they serve our favorite cake, how do you know it," the doctor asked curiously.
" Call your daughter, tell her you know she's in town, you guys follow me," I said hurriedly.
" What's up, how does she die, maybe we can change what happens before she died," Lexy asked.
" I just remember her seeing a grandma crossing the road and this bike about to hit her but after pushing the grandma away a truck comes from nowhere and hits, but what's worse is that the grandma dies to,"
" Wait so is this a two way rescue, so who caused who's death," Matt rhetorically asked.
Something felt weird about this dream, i saw both of them on the ground but I couldn't shake the feeling that only one died, but who?
" Guys, isn't that the doctor's daughter," Alex pointed out.
" So if she's here that means the grandma is around here, if we can stop the grandma from crossing the road, maybe we can stop the whole accident," Matt suggested.
" Do you see the grandma anywhere Dew?" Lexy asked as we all looked around.
" There she is," I said and we all rushed to her.
"Hey granny, can I help you cross the road, it not safe to cross alone," Alex said taking the granny's hand but even that didn't stop the doctor's daughter from crossing the road.
" You guys help her and I get the doctor's daughter," I said rushing to her.
" Hey are you doctor Andrew's daughter, hi I'm Dew," I said.
" Aww, hi I'm Phoebe, it's nice to meet you, are you a patient of his," Phoebe responded, " actually I was going to surprise him but he somehow knew that I was in town," she added but just as I was going to respond we had a big thud and turns out the bike that was supposed to hit the grandma had an accident with the truck.
Suddenly due to shock Phoebe fainted and grandma collapsed too. Both were rushed to the hospital but it turned out that the grandma couldn't make it. The bike driver also died on the spot.
" I can't believe this, I didn't see the driver dying or such an accident happening," I said out loud.
" Guys guess what's even more weird, the bike ridder is related to the doctor," Lexy said.
" That's why It felt different this time, it wasn't Phoebe who was in danger, it was the bike rider, even in my dream I don't remember Phoebe dying,"
" This means we have to be careful how we help this people," Matt said.
" We?" I curiously asked.
" Yes we, we are not going to let you do this alone, " Lexy said and Matt and Alex nodded. Just as we were having our moment I saw another familiar face but the feeling was different.
" Isn't that the Miles, he's very bad news, people say he's a mafia boss," Matt said after noticing me looking at him.
" He looks familiar," I responded.
" In his line of work ofcause you would see him dying," Matt said.
" That's not it, he just looks so familiar in a way I can't explain," I responded.
" He's famous, maybe you just happened to see him somewhere, he looks to be injured, he really should change his lifestyle," Matt said and for a split minute we locked eyes and it felt like deja Vu. Who was this Miles person and what was his connection to me?
