It’s Just a Dream

Eunhae7

Based on a true story

    My mom, Ace, August, and I left for a little trip with the whole band, but in a separate car.  My mom decided she was tired and thought we needed to use the restroom, so she stopped at the reststop.  Ace and I, wanted to use the restroom, so we left, walking towards the restroom.

    “How do you feel about the competition?”  I asked him, to break the silence.

    “I don’t know, I hope we do well, though.”  I nodded.  I turned my right and he turned towards his left.  After finishing with my business, I went out to see if he’s out yet, but I didn’t see him.  Until I heard someone’s voice which was identical to the guy I liked, so then I walked closer.

    “Do you think she will lose weight?” 1st guy asked.

    “I don’t know, I hope so…  She’s really fat.”  2nd guy asked and laughed.  I started to see them one by one.  

    “I’d bet that if she lost weight, she would’ve been really pretty,” 1st guy laughed, “maybe I would date her then.”  

    “Is she still onto you?”  3rd guy asked.

    “Heck yeah!  She still talks about me.”  1st guy answered.

    “How do you even know she likes you?”  Ace asked.  

    “She’s desperate for me,” he chuckled, “if only she was skinnier and prettier, I would’ve given her a chance.”  I got mad, real mad.  My heart ached hearing the one guy I liked, talking crap about me behind my back.  

    “Ace!”  He turned around.  Everyone had their eyes wide open, shocked.  He walked towards me.

“Mai, I’m so sorry.  I swear I had nothing to do with this.”  He grabbed my hand, and I was hurt not because of him, but because of guy #1.  I slanted to look at the 1st guy, he looked down, displeased and shame.

“Even if I were to get skinny, Jake, I wouldn’t have given you a chance.  At least I don’t get criticize behind my back with girls saying that I’m a jerk and an .”  I attacked him with my words and started to walk away.  Ace and I started walking towards the car.  I looked down, feeling heart broken.  How can I face him, the next time I see him?  

“Mai!”  I looked up, to see my mom leaving, driving the car away.  My mouth dropped and my eyes became wide.  Shock and afraid.  

“Mom!  Mommy!  Mom!”  I yelled at the top of my lungs.  But she didn’t hear me.  We ran towards her but she was too fast for us.  I gradually made a stop, she was just too fast.  Out of breath, I bended down for air.

“August.”  Ace said.  My eyes once again widened.  I looked up again and it was him waving goodbye and laughing, in the car with my mother.  I let out sighs.  My mother had left me, like she’s abandoning me.  I bit my lower lip and started crying.  I sat, slowly, down at the curve and started to shed tears, shrieking.  I was really hurt, I loved her so much, how can she leave me?  I covered my face with my hand.  My heart ached, my mom left me, the one guy I had liked, talk crap about me.  How can this be?  Ace looked at me, feeling sorry, he began to walk towards me.  He stood there in front of me, then sat down.  

“I’m so sorry, Mai.  This was all my fault.  I’m so sorry.”   He grabbed me by my shoulders and pulled me into his embrace.  I patted my head.  

“It’s okay, I’ll be with you, we can get out of here, and I can take you home safely…  Please don’t cry, seeing you cry breaks my heart.”  but I disobeyed him, I continued crying.

I woke up, next to my sister.  I let out a sigh.  Thanking God, that this was only a dream.  I sat up, and thought about what just had happened.  Tears started to form.  I weeped in pain, cried because of my heart.  It shredded to pieces, and though it was just a dream, it felt real, it felt like it was reality.  It felt like my mother had really left me, and that Jake was really talking about me behind my back. I started to cry in silence, not wanting to wake up my sister and make her worry, at 4:23 am, I woke up, woke up to reality.

The End
