"Don't do what? Don't do what?!" I screamed.
"Loni look at me, it was just a dream. I'm here, it's gonna be okay" Grayson said as he kneeled in front of me
"Come on, let me take you home" he grabbed my hand and helped me stand up.
What the fuck just happened...I know it wasn't real but it sure felt like it was. It was a warning, to something but I don't what
"Are you okay?" Grayson ask as we made our way out to the car
"I think so?" No, I was far from okay.
"I wanna show you something" Grayson and me got into the car and drove off. I rested my head against the glass and stared out at the passing trees. We passed the road to take to his house so obviously his surprise wasn't there. After driving around for 20 minutes we finally pulled in somewhere
"We're here" he said as he parked his car. There was benches with railings overlooking the city...it was beautiful.
We got out and walked over to the end of the cliff.
"You like it?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around my waist.
I nodded and sighed...so much was on my mind right now.
"What was your dream about?" He asked as he rubbed my shoulders
"It was about..." how do I explain it? How do you explain something like that? Oh, hey by the way my ex boyfriend is somehow contacting me through my subconsciousness?
"Luke...just some old memories coming up and haunting me" yeah well it was a lot more then that
"I'm sorry..." Grayson hugged me again, trying to comfort my nerves

We got home and I couldn't sleep, well it was more of me not wanting to sleep. I was scared, but I wanted answers.
Hours and hours passed and I eventually dozed off...

The same cold, wet floor sat beneath me.
"Damnit I know you're here" I said as I stood up and looked around
"What the fuck do you want?! What were you warning me from?" I screamed, but got no response. So I started walking into the darkness...
"Luke!" I shouted. I heard my voice echo on and on.
"Where are you?!" I still got no response.
"Quit messing around and show yourself"
Still nothing.
"Hello?!" Now this was plain out creepy. I was alone, in this dark and cold room...
"LUKE" I screamed one last time, actually hoping for a response.
Just like last time my breathing increased as I went into full on panic mode. It was quiet, so fucking quiet.
"LUKE!"
  
I sat up in bed, hyperventilating as I seen the sun peak through the window. Tears streamed down my face as I got out of bed and ran over towards the bathroom.
I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and dialed Melodys number...I needed to talk to someone

"Loni it's like 6 am" She said.
"I know, I'm sorry for waking you but I really need to talk to someone."
She sighed
"Okay...meet me at my place in ten" I nodded and thanked her. Grayson was still passed out when I left his house. Melodys wasn't too far from here, it was in walking distance.
I didn't know how I was going to explain this to her, but I needed to get it off my chest.

"So...what happened?" She asked as she grabbed two cups of coffee
"Bad night with Grayson? Something happen with your dad? Or Keeth?"
"Luke..."
She furrowed her eyebrows together and shook her head
"Luke? What do you mean?" She sat down across from me and sipped her coffee.
"I don't know how to explain this...but it's like he's haunting me. Ever since he's been dead it's gotten worse. It feels like I can't escape him" I gulped and crossed my arms
"I visited my dad last night, and he's doing good. But I wanted to sleep there...so I did. But I had this weird nightmare. I was in this cold, damp room and it was super fucking dark. And then I heard Luke's voice. He was there, he walked up to me and somehow made me relive some of our best moments. But they all hurt. It hurt so much, it felt like my heart was getting ripped out. And at the end of it he said he was there to warn me" I shook my head and looked down
"Warn you? From what? Was that really him though?" She asked
"I don't know...but it felt like it. So, Grayson came by and stopped the nightmare. And later on when I tried going back to sleep I was in the same room, in the same spot. I screamed and shouted for him to appear again, but he never did. I was all alone" I whispered the last words and closed my eyes...
