Lachlan's P.O.V

"Honestly Rob, can you just give me....A.....Moment?" Preston questioned. The demand sounding more like a question.

Preston's eyes were wide, glued onto something above him. Maybe he was staring at Vikk? Silence answered Preston's request.

As Rob followed Preston's gaze. Curious on what they were staring at I leaned back.

My eyes dodging all of the heads that were now popped up and staring at the bed. My eyes finally locating what they were looking at.

I felt my lower lip tremble as I looked at him. This couldn't be real......He didn't actually wake up....It's just a dream...It's all just a dream...

When I close my eyes...It will all be over...Vikk will be asleep...Preston will be dead...Mat will be nowhere to be found....

Mitch and Jerome will be back in Florida not waiting at the house...And Rob will still be heart broken....

The voices peeked inside my mind. Filling me to the brim with hope of going back to the easier situation. Even if it was the darker choice.

Shifting my back I looked away from Vikk. Vikk's sparkling, brown eyes were filled with confusion. A dazed look to them. I couldn't bear to see him.

Forcing my eye lids shut I took in a deep breath. Only paying attention to how fast my chest was rising.

The silence in the room made it a lot easier to concentrate. My mind practically begging to escape the situation I tried my best to do so.

Yet if it worked I knew it would be too good to be true. My mind forcing me out of my hidey hole I opened my eyes.

A sense of awkwardness filled the room as I turned back towards the other three and Vikk.

Rob and Mat shared an interesting glance. While Vikk's eyes were glued onto Preston's. And Preston's was glued onto Vikk's.

"Preston?" Vikk croaked out. Confusion in his face I watched them. I glared at them to be precise.

A hiss on the tip of my tongue I held it back. Not daring to make any noises I watched what was about to go down between the two.

"Hey Vikk." Preston greeted. My eyes shot to Preston's face. Purposely glaring at him so he might get the message I wasn't comfortable at the moment.

"You died. How are you here...... Did I die too!?!" Vikk panicked. Vikk's eyes grew wide in fear as he struggled to sit up.

"No no, you're alive. I am too. Just a little, broken.... I guess ....." Preston saved. Gently, yet difficultly, the words sank into the room.

Silence making ot easier to think of what Preston just said. The silence was calming, yet odd.

Nothing was quiet when we used to get together.... Now..... It's always quiet..... And that isn't a good thing....
