Michael's POV

I wasn't arrested and all charges were dropped. They also apologized repeatedly. Probably hoping I wasn't going to sue. I'm not though. I don't care about them, I only care about Sky.

The bullet went through and through so I'll be fine. It'll take a few months to heal, and even more months until I can use that arm to dance with.

I will not let this get in the way of my career. I sit on my hospital bed with my arm sling waiting for Doctor Davison. It's been two days, and I haven't slept.

Finally he comes in. I quickly ask,

"Is she OK? Is she alive? Tell me!"

"Calm down, Mr. Jackson. We revived Mrs. Jackson. She's alive, but she's in a coma. A deep one. She's in critical condition as well. Mr. Jackson... If she doesn't wake in the next two months..we don't think she'll ever will."

I feel my legs give in. Doctor Davison catches me before I fall. He helps me back to my bed.

"Mr. Jackson, you need to rest."

He sounds likes he's mumbling. I can no longer keep my eyes open.

Dream:

I open my eyes and find myself in a green field. I sit up and look around. I'm surrounded by beautiful trees and flowers. The sun is shining and the sky... An endless realm where sunshine bounces on forever. No horizon, No depth, crystal blue sky.

I stand up and see someone walking toward me. She has beautiful brunette hair. A stunning body. The closer she gets, the happier I get.

We stand face to face.

"Sky..."

She puts her finger over my lips.

"Don't say anything, Michael. Come play with us."

"Us?"

She steps to the side, revealing a line of smiling children. My face lights up.

"Be the child in you, Michael."

One of them ran up, touched me, and said,

"Tag! You're it!"

The others began laughing and running. I felt happy tears emerging. I looked over at Sky who was running and laughing.

I took after her. But the closer I got, the further away she got.

"Sky!"

She turned and looked at me. I gasp. Her eyes are completely black. Her face has sunken in. She turns around completely and stops. I'm still running, but I'm not going anywhere. I notice her standing on the edge of a cliff.

She crosses her arms and leans backwards.

"Sky!"

Now I'm moving. I run right for the cliff and jump over. But I don't see her. I turn my body and look up. Sky is standing there reaching her hand out. I reach for it, and somehow I grab it. She pulls me up. She whispers in my ear,

"I will not let you fall."

I feel chills run down my back. She grabs my hand and leads me through a forest. I feel my feet getting tangled in thorns. I tighten my grip on Sky's hand, but my hand still slips away.

Chris, her ex, comes out of no where and wraps his arms around her neck. Sky is looking at me terrified.

"Let go of her!"

Chris smirks at me and says, "You got a hot bitch right there!"

Anger feels my body, giving me the strength to rip the thorns away. I run over to Sky and Chris, only to have the ground beneath me disappear. I fall through darkness. I close my eyes.

I desperately yell, "Skkkkyyyyyyy!"

I stop moving. I open my eyes. I'm back in the field. I look over and see Sky laying next to me. Her eyes are closed. She's smiling. Her head is resting on my shoulder. I kiss her forehead.

Her eyes open and she looks at me.

"Heal me with a song, Michael."

I whisper, "Which song?"

She whispers in my ear the song she wants me to sing. I open my mouth to begin.

Realty:

I'm shook awake by Doctor Davison. I look at him, confused at first. Then I remember everything that's going on. I sit up quickly and ask,

"What happened? Is she OK?"

He nods. "She stable for now. You were screaming her name in your sleep. I thought you were having a nightmare. "

I take a deep breath and say, "I'm fine. May I see her?"

He nods. He leads me to her room. She has a bandage around her head. Doctor Davison puts his hand on my shoulder.

"We had to shave her head to treat the cut on her head."

I nod and take a seat next to her. I hold her hand. I hear the door open and close. He must've left. I lay my head on the bed and go to sleep.
