Dreaming

The Dream

ASHTON’S POV.

I follow brody and he leads me to the woods, I know it’s kinda wrong to follow someone who might not be real to the forest but I am too drunk to give a s**t. We walk deeper and we even pass the place I used to hang out.

‘’ why are you we going deeper ‘’ I ask him.

He stops walking and smiles ‘’ I kinda want to show you something. It’s something I stumbled upon and I thought we could talk there ‘’ he explains.

I can tell he is still nervous from the way his voice shook. I don't know why he is but I intend to find out. I am going to find out what the hell is wrong with me.

We go deeper and stop in front of a cave, it looks scary, and the sun isn’t reaching inside which makes it dark. I am starting to freak out and Brody must have noticed.

‘’ calm down ash. I won’t hurt you ‘’ he says as he raises his hands up.

I sigh and nod. He smiles and I follow him into the cave. I don't know why this place looks familiar but I feel like I have seen it somewhere. It’s like it’s a fresh memory or something.

We walk deeper and he walks into a smaller cave, there is a pond inside and it looks like its glowing. It is a really beautiful sight and that must be why he brought me here. There is a hole at the roof and the rays from the sunlight are entering the cave through the hole.

‘’ Why did you bring me here ‘’ I ask him immediately.

He shrugs ‘’ I don't know.......it’s just somewhere I came across ‘’ he explains slowly.

I frown because I still have the feeling that I have seen it somewhere, I don't think it’s possible but the feeling remains in my head.

Brody sits on a rock and pats the rock beside him. I really don't want to sit beside a ghost. He has to be a ghost. I won’t imagine all this; there is no way I am that creative.

‘’ Well ‘’ I tell him, refusing to sit next to him.

He sighs ‘’ I get why you are scared of me but I need you not to be ‘’ he says in a ramble.

I shake my head ‘’ what the hell are you ‘’ I ask.

I need to know what he is before I sit here and listen to his crazy story. I don't know how dangerous he is and if he is, I need to find out.

‘’ I don't know ash ‘’ he tells me and the sound of his voice seems honest.

‘’ What do you mean ‘’ I ask with a stutter.

He shrugs ‘’ I really have no idea. I just woke up one day and found myself on this f*****g island. I tried to leave but it’s no use ‘’ he says sadly.

His eyes are moist and he looks like he is about to cry ‘’ are you like some kind of ghost ‘’ I ask

He chuckles ‘’ I don't know.....if I'm a ghost why am I still here ‘’ he asks. He stands up and paces around the cave ‘’ I don't even remember dying ‘’ he buries his hands in his face.

I really wish I can help him but this is all too much. It’s not real, there is no such thing as a ghost. I must be losing my mind.

‘’ Why can I see you ‘?’

He removes his hands from his face and walks up to me. Taken by the surprise, I jump away and he stops immediately ‘’ I am so sorry ‘’ he apologizes.

‘’it's fine....just don't come close ‘’ I plead.

I don't think I can handle him close to me; he is freaking me out by being in the same environment. I don't want him close.

‘’ Sorry ‘’ he apologizes again.

I nod ‘’ it’s okay....you didn’t answer my question ‘’ I remind him.

He smiles faintly ‘’ I don't know ash but I think there is a reason. Maybe you are the only one that can help me ‘’

I chuckle loudly and my voice echoes in the cave ‘’ it’s not funny Ashton, I am being really serious ‘’ he says seriously.

I frown ‘’ I can’t help you, I don't even know you. How the f**k am I going to help you? I am sure this is all a dream. You are a figment of my imagination ‘’ I say all the words together.

Brody shakes his head ‘’ this is not a dream. I am real, I need your help ash please don't leave me here alone ‘’ he begs.

I run my fingers through my hair and let out a frustrated sigh. This might be the alcohol talking. I might be asleep in some ditch somewhere.

He can’t be real.

‘’ You are not real ‘’ I tell him.

He frowns again ‘’ I am real ash. This island is driving me crazy and I feel like you are my only way out of here. You gotta help me ‘’ he cries.

Maybe I should tell him about my dream, but if I do, he’ll think I can help him. It was just a stupid dream, there is nothing I can do to help him, and he is not real.

‘’ Please ‘’ he says when I remain quiet.

I shake my head ‘’ you are not real brody ‘’ I tell him again.

I turn around but he grabs my hand and stops me from leaving, I try to push him but his grip is really strong‘’ Let go ‘’ I say shakily.

I am kinda scared; it’s not every day that a ghost holds you against your will. It’s not every day that you are a ghost whisperer. In fact, I am beyond scared.

‘’ I can’t ash, I need you to help me and I will prove that I am real. I won’t let you walk out of here until you believe me ‘’

I shake my head in fear ‘’ please let me go......you are just making things worse ‘’

He nods ‘’ tell me you believe me. Tell me you’ll help me ‘’ I can tell he is not really the kind to hurt people but he looks desperate.

‘’ I can’t because I don't believe that you are real ‘’ I say honestly.

He sighs and softens his hold ‘’ I will make you believe ‘’

I shake my head ‘’ nothing is going to change my mind, Brody. You are not real and I'm sure once I wake up you will be gone ‘’

He smiles and I get scared again, he has a look of mischief and I don't know what he is up to. He leans closer ‘’ I am real ‘’

I am about to object but he smashes his lips against mine quickly. This catches me by surprise and I just stand there in shock and confusion.

This cannot be happening, first I see a ghost, and now that said ghost is kissing me, and the worst thing is that I can’t pull away. I don't know why but my lips stay in place and after a while, I move my lips in rhythm to his.

He smiles into the kiss and slides his tongue into my mouth. I don't know when I granted him entrance but my tongue rubs against his forcefully.

This is not real.

I need to fight him; I need to get away from him and this kiss. He is forcing me against my will; there is no way in hell that I am kissing another dude.

I close my eyes and use my hands to push him back by his chest. He lets go, his breath is heavy, and I can feel my heart pounding against my chest.

‘’ What the f**k ‘’ I yell angrily.

He sighs ‘’ I am so sorry, I shouldn’t have done that. I just wanted to prove that I am real. It wasn’t supposed to be a kiss. I am sorry ‘’ he says as the tears start to fall.

I shake my head in disbelief; there is no way I am going to let this guy talk me into helping him. He is not real.

‘’ I am going brody and I want you to leave me the f**k alone ‘’I say angrily.

I run out of the cave without waiting for a reply and he doesn’t follow me this time, I run out and the sunlight hit my eyes. I close them until they adjust and start to walk back to the hotel.

I walk around in circles and frown when I realize how lost I am. I didn’t pay attention to the trail when I followed brody. How the hell am I supposed to find my way back?

I check my pocket for my phone and frown when I realized that I left it at the hotel. This cannot be happening. I cannot be lost right now.

Not when I had a freaking ghost stalker.

I need to find my way back, I keep walking, and I just end up at the same place. There is a big tree and it is giving a lot of shade, so I take a sit under it. Maybe someone will pass by and lead me back to the hotel.

Why did I have to follow him so deep into the woods, why couldn’t I have argued and then we might have stayed somewhere crowded.

‘’ Just my luck ‘’ I mutter to myself.

The sun had set and I am just staring into the dark clouds, scared out of my ass. This cannot be happening, is God trying to punish me for something I had done?

I don't know why this is happening to me; I close my eyes and take a deep breath from the cool breeze. I kinda wished that brody would show up, but I haven’t seen him since he kissed me.

This is all his fault.

I close my eyes and drift off into the same dream. I am walking in these woods and someone is holding my hands. Their grip is soft and I can feel tingles going up to my spine.

We walk into the cave and he leads me into the small cave. We stop in front of the pond and he grabs both my hands.

‘’ I love you ‘’ he whispers into my ear.

I smile and he leans closer as he captures my lips. He kisses me and I kiss back with as much yearning as him. He pushes me to a wall and takes off all my clothes. The moonlight hits my naked body and I can feel his gaze on me.

He licks his lips and I push my head back in lust. He groans and takes off his shirt slowly, it’s almost like he is teasing me.

I watch him and he pulls off his jeans too. He strips down all the clothing on him and stands there completely butt naked.

I watch him as he walks into the pond slowly. He goes inside till I can only see his head and then he looks at me and I can tell he is waiting for me.

I take a deep breath a walk in slowly, he grabs my hand and pulls me into the water faster. Once inside he touches my back slowly and the sparks run up again.

‘’ I will always love you ‘’ he says slowly.

I remain quiet as I watch him touch me in places I never thought he could. His touch is the most amazing feeling and the electricity is intense. He kisses down my neck, chest until he reaches my torso.

His face is covered by the water and somehow this drives me crazy. I need to see him, I wanted him so bad, and it made my heart ache.

I go deeper into the water and he smiles under, he grabbed my hands again and kissed both knuckles under the water.

I didn’t care that I might suffocate, I didn’t care about anything, and I only cared about him and what he could do to make me feel good.

He pulled my face closer to his and I could see bubbles come out of his nose. He opens his mouth and mouths and I love you again.

He smiles and closes his mouth; he moves closer and hugs me tightly. The feeling of touching electricity inside water took control and I felt the shock immediately.

He kissed me and I let him, I let him touch me and make love to me all night. I couldn’t see his face but I felt something for him.

‘’ Ash, wake up ‘’ I open my eyes and see Chester hovering over me.

He looks at me with a worried expression; I suddenly remember everything and jump up abruptly. I feel hot and my clothes are soaked in sweat.

‘’ Are you alright ‘’ he asks.

I look around I find myself in our room. It’s already morning and I don't know how I found my way back. The last thing I remember was sitting under that tree.

‘’ I'm fine ‘’ I say with a rub of my forehead.

He nods and continues the game he is playing, I look at the clock and shriek at the time, the day is already over and I just woke up.

‘’ How did I get here last night ‘’ I ask Chester.

He pauses his game ‘’ you walked in; you were staggering a little so I thought you were drunk or something. I even tried talking to you but you just jumped on your bed and passed out’’ he explains calmly.

I nod and groan as I remember my dream; it just keeps getting weirder, and the things I did freaked me out.

When did I become gay?
