You wake up in the medical tent. Your stomach is bandaged and everyone is staring down at you. You sit up and you groan in pain.
"Wait, is this real life?" you asked drowsily. "Yep, she's got brain damage all right." said Gally. "Gally-" Minho punched Gally's arm."Kid, what the hell were you thinking?" Gally asked. "Wait." you say confused. "Was my happiness a dream? Is Newt actually dead?" you ask yourself.
Everyone exchanges looks of worry. "Y/N, I made a promise to Newt." Thomas said. "He just wanted you to be happy. He wants you to be happy."
"-Thomas..." you say disbelievingly. "I know, it seems too much to be on your bucket list right now, but can you at least try...for him?"You thought long and hard. Thomas was right. You were taking his death a little too harshly. Maybe if you at least...tried to be happy? Everything would turn out ok, right?
You looked at Thomas and for the first time in a looooong time, you cracked a smile. Everyone else then smiled.
Then you heard the sound of thunder and saw a strike of lightning. "Wow, is it raining?" you asked. "Yup." Thomas said looking out the opening of the tent. "Sweet!" you say, getting up from bed.
"-Whoa there, slow down. You need rest and we wouldn't want you getting sick from the rain." said Vince. "You want me to be happy, right?" you asked, cocking an eyebrow. Vince asid nothing and several others in the tent nodded their heads. "Then let me play in the rain, damn it!!"Then you bolted out of the tent, ignoring the mild pain in your stomach and lifting your head towards the sky as the raindrops fell on your head. You haven't felt this good in a long time. You then ran around shore and laughed like a child with a new toy.
You hear a strange noise from behind you. And there you saw it.
A beautiful black horse that stopped right in front of you. "Where did you come from?" you ask as you reach your hand out towards it. The horse snorted as you touched it snout. It seemed to like your soft touch.
Then without thinking you mount the horse. The horse didn't seem to mind. Then you started to ride it. First at a trot, then you started to run. As you rode along the shore, you decided to do something crazy. You stand on the horses back and rode on (this stunt is called the hippodrome or something like that i believe)
As you felt the wind in your face you felt free. You look to your left an see everyone staring at you with amazement and shock.
To show off you let go of the horse and jump off, doing a full twist flip, then landing on your feet. The horse realized you dismounted him and spun around back to you. He seemed to like you. As he got back to you you mounted him again.
From that day on, you kept the horse and called him Storm (hence you found him during a storm)
Gally built him a stable in the back of the Safe Haven where you could tend to him. You were overjoyed and you acted overly happy all the time. But, it left Thomas in suspicion.One day when you were grooming Storm in his stable, Thomas came to you. "Y/N, can I talk to you?" he asked. You looked in his direction and smiled. "Surely. What can I do for ya?" you asked putting Storm's grooming brush to the side.
Thomas sighed. "Look, I get that you've found something that makes you happy, but you also seem to have forgotten."
"Forgotten what?" you asked, raising an eyebrow. "Well...the morning you woke up from your injury, you never mentioned...Newt since then."Your happiness seemed to drain quickly. "Wait, I don't seem to understand. In the first place you were the one who told me to try to be happy for once. And when I actually try, you seem to tell me that I can't? The only way I can be happy here, is if I don't think about it! Can't you understand that?"
"So, you're telling me that forgetting Newt makes you happy?" Thomas asked. Complete rage took over you. "Get the HELL OUT OF HERE!" you practically scream. "Y/N, I-" Thomas tried but you declined him and threw Storm's grooming brush at him. "LEAVE!" you scream.Thomas gets startled and jogs off. You then start to tear up and you go to Storm for some emotional support. You hug him to try to calm yourself.
That night, when you were heading back to your tent, as you passed by the kitchen tent, everyone you knew stopped you in your tracks. "Everything okay, hermana?" Jorge asked. "Yes, just fine." you reply.
"Come on, Y/N, stop lying. You seemed happy an hour ago and now you're back to your old self." Gally cut in. "Shit, Gally. Can't you ever keep your nose out of my business?" you asked. "I just want to be alone." you turn the other direction. "Y/N, stop!" Minho said. "NO!" you scream and run off.You headed to the forest and once you ran out of breath, you stopped by the trunk of a random tree and start to cry. You cried so much, you ran out of breath and passed out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Y/N, love. Wake up." you hear a voice say. You wake up with another gasp. Your face felt wet. You were crying. "Is everything ok, love? You were talking in your sleep."
Sleep? Sleep?! I was asleep? Thank god it was just a dream! you think to yourself, relieved.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm all right. What was I saying?" you asked. "Not sure." New replied. All I heard clearly was wait, is this real life?, leave! And Shit, Gally." Newt chuckled. "Oh." you say. "Let me guess. In your dream Gally was bothering you?" Newt asked snaking an arm around your waist. "Yes, that's exactly my dream." you lied, giving a nervous chuckle.
You then got up and went to the kitchen for some breakfast. Everything was like it was yesterday. Peaceful and happy.
But, something was bothering. You had to tell someone about the dreams you were having. Then you thought of the perfect person.
"Brenda!" you called, going to her. She was sitting with Jorge and Vince. "Hey, Y/N." Brenda replied. "Can I talk to you one sec alone?" you asked. "Sure thing." Brenda replied. She got up and you lead her away from Jorge and Vince. "What's up?" she asked.
You look down nervously. "Brenda, I've been having these dreams."
"What? About, WICKED? Your father?" she asked. "No, not exactly. There more modern. We're here, but...Newt isn't."
Brenda gave you a confused look. "In my dreams I'm this totally different person. I'm not happy. I'm suicidal and in my first dream, I almost killed myself. And last night, I dreamt that I decided to forget about Newt to make myself happy, but in the end I failed and I woke up bawling my eyes out. My next dream could be worse." you say nervously."Sounds like a problem. Why don't you see a doctor? Dr.Pilsbury is great for situations like that." Brenda said. "Thanks, but I'm gonna have to decline. At least until my condition worsens. I'm gonna have to toughen up for another night."
You nod you head and turn to leave. "Y/N, you're going to at least tell him, right? He'd hate it if you found out that you've been having nightmares like this." Brenda said, putting a hand on your shoulder. "I will...eventually. I'm not ready just yet. I will if my condition worsens." then you turn to leave once more.
You went to the fields to work. It was like being a track hoe again. You watered the plants, planted seeds, pulled weeds. You did as much as you could to get the dreams off your mind. But, how bad would the dreams get tonight?

If you guys were wondering why the songs are up, there's a reason. I was listening to the radio and during the summer, I had a thought that these songs would be great backrounds for my sequel chapters. I mean, they make sense, right?
Hope you guys enjoyed!
