Kristen's POV:
"Noo. Don't kill him.. NOOO,Stop." I woke up, screaming. Tears streamed down my face, they were going to kill Ray. I walked out of my room, in a trance, needing to see Ray to make sure he was alright. I pounded on his door with my fists. "Hm, Kris!" he said, confused and sleepily. "Ray." I sigh. He rubs his eyes, realizing that I wouldn't wake him up for no reason. "What happened?" he asks, gently caressing my cheek, rubbing away the tears. "I-I had a dream." I cry, nuzzling my head into the crook between his neck and shoulder. "Shh, it's alright. I'm here." He says, comfortingly. He holds me close, tracing circles on my back, waiting patiently for me to calm down. "I'm so sorry." I mumble, embarrassed. "Don't be." he says, smiling slightly. "Now go back to sleep.." he whispers, trailing off. "Play a song for me?" I ask, hoping he'll comply. "Of course." He says, gently. He takes out his guitar and shyly begins to play.. "This is our last night but it's late
And i'm trying not to sleep
Cause I know, when I wake, I will have to slip away"
He looks at me, smiling infectiously.
"And when the daylight comes i'll have to go
But tonight i'm gonna hold you so close
Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight I need to hold you so close"
He hums, strumming his guitar.
"Here I am staring at your perfection
In my arms, so beautiful
The sky is getting back the stars are burning out
Somebody slow it down
This is way too hard, cause I know
When the sun comes up, I will leave
This is my last glance that will soon be memory"
He strums, at a steady pace, singing and gazing at me, seriously gazing at me, in a heart piercing kind of way.
Ray's POV:
I gaze at her,thinking about how happy she makes me. I then walk her to her room, and tuck her in, knowing that if I dream tonight she'll be in my dreams. I go to sleep slightly unhappy though, thinking about all the people I've neglected since Kristen became my girlfriend... I guess I'm just going to have to find a balance.

The hotel phone rings and I pick it up, still groggy.
"Ray honey, its time to wake up."
"Okay Mum, see you at breakfast!" I say, smiling now.
"Someone's awfully chirpy this morning." She says, laughing. "I wonder why.." she trails off, in a teasing tone.
"Mo-om, don't tease." I say, blushing.
"Bye Sweetie." She replies and I can just tell she's grinning.
She thinks she knows why I'm happy and I'm sure she can guess a part of it, but no one knows entirely why and for some reason that gives me immense satisfaction.
I take a quick shower, throwing on a navy blue and white striped polo along with some dark brown board shorts. I quickly run my hands through my hair and grab my sunglasses, wallet and room keys. I walk out of my room, thinking about how different everything will be in a few months. Kristen and I will be at college.
