I thought about all the things I could wish for, but none of them could ever compare to what I already have with the girl I am in love with. A smile formed on my lips and I blew out the candle. “So what did you wish for, Spence?” Ashley questioned with curiosity.

“Ash, if I told you what I wished for, it wouldn’t come true then,” I responded.

“Please tell me, babe,” pleaded Ashley. I want to see if I can help you make your wish come true.

“The truth is I didn’t have to make a wish,” I admitted. I didn’t need to do that to begin with. You are already in my life and that’s the greatest gift I could ever ask for. You made my wish come true. I leaned in to kiss Ashley sweetly on her lips. Ashley smiled and intensified the kiss. I stopped the kiss.

Awhile later, I was having that nightmare again. This time the nightmare began differently than usual. I was alone in this dream with no sign of Ashley. “Ashley?” I asked. Ash, where are you! I began to walk around in an unfamiliar territory. The territory was surrounded in fog and it was night. It took me a few moments to realize that I was in a cemetery and I saw Ashley’s name on a tombstone. Tears were streaming down my face. Y-you can’t be gone! Please come back. I n-need you. A few moments later, I was somehow clutching on to Ashley’s dead body breaking down in even more tears.

“Ashley, come back!” I yelled in my sleep. I lost you once and I c-can’t lose you again. Ashley tried to calm me down, however I was still squirming from her embrace.

“Baby, it’s going to be okay,” whispered Ashley as she kissed me on my forehead. Please wake up. I’m not going anywhere. You’re not going to lose me. I haven’t died from when Chelsea stabbed me. I opened my eyes and felt tears streaming down my face. Ashley held on to me tighter.

“These dreams feel like they are becoming more real by the night,” I explained in tears.

“I know, sweetie,” responded Ashley. Do you want to talk about the dream? Maybe it might help you out?
