Lab Rats: Season 2

I Dream A Nightmare

AN: I had dreamed about this and had to post this as a chapter!!

It had been going on for a few nights now. I would wake up in a cold sweat and breathing heavily as if I had just ran a marathon. It was the same dream constantly that I always would sigh in relief when I knew it was just a dream. If it ever happened in real life, I think I would die of a broken heart.

Every night I would dream that Chase broke up with me…

One morning, it was really bad. And when I mean really bad, I mean waking up in a cold sweat plus having to place a hand over your chest to check for a pulse bad. Not only did he break up with me but he ended up finding someone better…like model better. The nightmare was so bad that I ended up not going back to sleep and ended up keeping myself busy at two o’clock in the morning. I took a shower first to calm down my clammy skin. I scrubbed my face so hard that I thought my face was going to come off like in those horror slasher flicks Adam always tries to reel us in with. Before I knew it, the water had turned cold and the steam from the shower had come and gone. Time had seemed to stand still because it was only three o’clock in the morning. School didn’t start four and a half hours and I still didn’t feel like leaving the comfort of my room. But in the end I decided to get dressed and get my things together.

Someone once told me, and I have forgotten who, that sometimes when we dream, there is a meaning deep within your subconscious. I always thought it was a load of hooey because by the time I am fully awake, I can never remember what I had dreamed of in the first place. But now that I think about it…did this mean Chase was going to call us quits?

I shook my head in disbelief. It was just a nightmare…it didn’t mean anything. Chase isn’t going to break up with you and everything is going to be perfect. I am over thinking things. Yeah, that’s it. No need to worry Katie.

When I arrived at school, everything seemed a little off than usual. For one, I didn’t see Bree or Adam bickering over by the stairwell like I usually do in the mornings. And where is Leo? He is usually around here bothering a cheerleader.

I shrugged it off thinking that things would fall back in place once school started…but I was completely wrong. Chase was standing by his locker and was flirting with the foreign exchange student, Cassie. As I walked up to them, Chase turned his eyes to me before Cassie turned around and left, a small smile on her face as she passed by me.

“Hi Chase,” I gave him a small smile hoping he would return it but all he did was frown.

“Hi Katie,” Chase paused “look, we need to talk.”

“We do?”

He nodded before motioning me into the gym and we sat down at one of the tables “We need to talk about us.”

My heart thudded in my chest. I swear it was looking for an escape route “What about us?”

Chase sighed and motioned between us “This isn’t working out. It never has been.”

“But we’ve been dating for almost three years. What changed? I thought you loved me?”

Oh great. Now I was beginning to sound like one of those sappy girls who starts crying and everything bad. Get a hold of yourself Davis!

Chase hissed “Yeah, no, I never loved you to begin with. I only dated you so I could have the experience of having a girlfriend. Believe me, if I had known I would be with you for two and a half years, I would have called this quits ages ago.”

And here comes the silent tears. They always sneak up on you.

“So this whole time you were using me?”

Chase nodded “It was good while it lasted though.”

And then he slipped out of the gym doors and into the hallway.

This whole time I had been played the fool. Did Adam, Bree and Leo know about this? Was I actually their friend or was that just an experience too?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I got home, my body seemed to shut down on me. Today had been a complete nightmare. Everything I dreamed about Chase breaking my heart became a freaking reality. Freddy Kruger came out from my nightmare and slashed my reality to pieces. The heartache is the worse than anything I have ever felt in my life. It was worse than getting kidnapped and hit over the head with a glass container. Chase was my everything…and now my everything told me it all was a stupid lie. What else is in my life had been a lie?

My mind kept reeling as my eyes fluttered shut and darkness surrounded me…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It only felt like I was asleep for a few more minutes when I was woken up to someone shaking me “Katie? Katie wake up.”

“Mmm!” I groaned and flipped over to the other side of my bed. Just a few more minutes please!

“Katie, baby, wake up,” My eyes snapped open and I pulled myself up from the bed to stare at him.

There he was sitting at the edge of my bed with a small smile on his face. His blue polo was crinkled as his plaid blue and green over shirt was over it.

“Why are you here?” I asked shocked. I didn’t know to what… that he was here in my bedroom after the break up or how hoarse my voice sounded.

Chase raised a perfect eyebrow “I was worried about you. You didn’t answer my phone calls or texts. I thought something happened to you.”

Is he seriously going to act as if he never stomped all over my heart “But I thought you broke up with me?”

“What? Break up with you?! I don’t want to break up!” Chase moved closer to me so his hand was resting on my face “Baby, you were having a dream. You’ve been asleep this whole time. I would never break up with you. You’re too perfect and I love you.”

I didn’t realize I was crying until Chase kissed my tears away “Baby don’t cry. It’s okay. Everything is okay.”

“It was just a dream?” I whimpered “But it felt so real. We were at school and you were flirting with some girl by your locker and then you pulled me aside and broke up with me.”

I probably sounded so pathetic right now.

“Baby,” Chase soothed “It was all just a dream, okay?” He then placed his lips softly on mine and kissed me like it was everything and then some.

“I love you Chase…so, so much.”

“I love you too Katie. Always,” Chase whispered before pulling me into his arms again and kissing me like his life depended on it. When he pulled away he said “Did I really break up with you in your dream?”

I nodded silently before he chuckled. I slapped his arm “Ow, okay, not funny. I’m sorry baby.”

“You’re damn right it’s not funny.”

AN: I had this dream a couple of nights ago and it was stuck in my head all day. I am currently in the middle of updating Llama Drama so that should be up in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully this will hold you all over until I do get the episode up. Please comment and vote!!!! Voting matters people!!!!
