I am standing by the tree, where I broke-up with Mitch, and I gaze at the surroundings around me. The roads are full of white snow, the lights of the buildings and the street lights were on and the sky is dark, meaning it is night time.

          "Alice." A male voice say.

          I focus on the person who called me and it is him, Mitch Daniel Garret; the person I don't want to talk to, the person who gave me happiness but also gave me bitter heartbreak. I clench my fists trying not to cry. As soon as he sees the look on my eyes, he slowly approaches towards me but then I hear a loud bang from behind. My body becomes numb and my vision suddenly turns black then a terrified scream echoes in my ears.

          I scream as I sit up on my bed. Cold sweat is dripping down from my forehead to my chin. I quickly pant, feeling the rising and falling from my chest. I quickly take a glimpse of my surroundings and I heave a heavy sigh as I conclude that I am still in my room. I open the light by the side table and glance at the clock; it was 2:37 in the morning.

          "I'm still alive. It was just a nightmare."

          As soon as I say that, the door swings open noisily; it cause a loud noise throughout the house. When I take a glimpse who it was, it is my mom with a worried look on her face. She walks to the bed and sits near me.

           "Alice, what is wrong? I heard you scream." My mom asks.

          "It's nothing, mom. It was just some messed-up dream." I partially lie.

          "Alice, I know you since you are born and you are a terrible liar as I am. Besides, you cannot lie from your own mother." She said. Well, she does have a point about that last part.

          "I guess I don't have a choice, do I?" I sigh.

          "No, you don't."

          I tell my mom what happen in my 'dream'. From time to time, she just nods or make some noise to indicate that she is still listening. After finishing my story, she places my hand on my shoulder and shows me her smile.

           "Don't worry about it, Alice. There is nothing to be afraid about, besides most dreams don't come true." She says, rubbing her hand on my back.

           "I guess you are right." I say, starting to calm down.

           "Get some rest, my dear. You have work later."

          "Mom, it's my day-off."

          "Oh, I forgot about that. Good night, Alice."

          "Night, mom."

          I lieback down on the bed then I heave another heavy sigh. My mom bring her facecloser to mine then she gently kisses my forehead. As she is about to leave theroom, she looks back and gives me a smile on my face then I smile back at her.She slowly closes the door and I close the light then go back to sleep.
