Chapter Nine
*Violet's Dream*
"Violet! Violet, wake up!" I feel hands shaking me in every direction. I open my eyes and see Rose. Her nose is bleeding and her lip has a cut on it. I quickly stand up and hug her.
"Rose, what happened?!?" I say, pulling away.
"Tell you later, but for now, jump out the window and make it to the car." I do as she says, without another word. I run to the window and open it. I look down. So high up. Brushing the fear away, I hang my feet out the window and grip the windowsill, tightly, my knuckles turning white. I turn my entire body around and let my body slip out of the window, my hands still gripping tightly on the windowsill.
I bend my knees and let go of the window, falling to the ground. I scream for a moment. Then a flash of red. Next thing I know, I'm standing on the concrete, hand on the ground. I'm unharmed. I look up at the window I dropped from. It's three stories high. How in Hell did I make it?
Rose then appears in the window, she throws down a bag and I let it fall to the ground in front of me. I quickly pick it up and throw it over my shoulder. Rose disappears again.
Pop. A gunshot rings threw the air, I gasp. Just then, a van pulls up next to me. The window rolls down and I see Time driving and Voodoo in the passenger's seat. Both of them covered in blood.
"Get in!" Time yells, unlocking the door.
I open the door and jump and see everyone else, except Sony and Rose inside the van. I take an empty seat near the back and start hyperventilating. Toxic and Spark are sitting next to me. Spark tells me to take deep breaths and Toxic rubs my back.
We sit in the van for a while, waiting for Rose and Sony. Finally, Rose appears with a huge duffle bag. She throws it under her seat behind mine and tells me everything is all right. Where's Sony?
"Rose," I say, afraid, "Where is Sony?"
"I don't know." She replies, sadness in her tone. That's all I need. I open the door and run out of the van. Rose calls for me but doesn't chase me.
Then I wake up.
I sit up straight in my bed and gasp for air. I wipe away the sweat on my forehead, flip the blankets off of me and get out of bed, heading to the bathroom. I look at my alarm clock and realize it's three a.m.
I get into the bathroom and turn on the sink. I splash the cold water onto my face. I turn off the sink and head out of my room, down the hall to Sony's room.
I knock on the door but no one answers. Figures, he must be asleep. I don't care though. I knock harder and louder. I hear a groan, then footsteps heading towards the door. The door opens and I see a very tired Sony, rubbing his eyes.
"It's three in the morning, Violet, what do you want?" He says.
"I was just making sure that you were okay."
"Why?"
"Well I had this weird dream that you might've died and everyone else was alive. But it scared me half to death. I just needed to see if you were really okay."
He hesitates and makes the most scared face, then his features relax and he says, "Obviously, I'm okay. It was just a dream, Vi."
Did he call me 'Vi'?"I know but it seemed so real."
"Well it wasn't and I'm tired, so goodnight, Violet." He then shuts the door before I can say Goodnight. But it still seemed so real.
I head back to my room but can't sleep for the rest of the night so instead I turn on my phone,next to my alarm clock and start playing Fairy Tale By Sounds Like Harmony.
I dance and hum along in my closet, looking for clothes to wear the next day. I decide on a cotton, black long sleeve shirt, black leggings and a purple beanie.
I turn up the music and hum to it. A minute later I hear a knock on my door. I open the door and see Blue standing there, with a computer, movie and popcorn. Rose is standing behind her, holding Sprite and Hershey's chocolate bars. I step aside to let them in."Okay so I was thinking we could either watch Seventeen Again or watch something on Hulu or Netflix." Blue says, setting the stuff on my bed.
"All good choices," I say, taking some popcorn from the bowl, "I could go for Seventeen Again."
"Me too!" Rose says, opening a Sprite bottle.
"Seventeen Again, it is." Blue says, putting the movie into the computer.
We stay up all night, watching movies and shows, just hanging out and eating food. I'll be exhausted tomorrow.
