The dream no one remembered -1

Dreams, a series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. Mostly in the minds of children.

Lexi sighed as she read the beginning to a new book she had to write a report for. The clock turned to 6:42. She sighed and got up, closing the book and walked out of the room. A small, long-haired cat by the name of Angel followed her into another room as she looked for her friends. Lexi lived alone in a large house until she met three friends. Jp, Mark and Drew. She swore it was fate for the three to meet and get along the way they did. Jp and Drew are brothers. Jp being the oldest. They lived with abbussive parents. Drew mostly being the one hurt. She saw this personally.

One night Lexi walked over to her friends house for them to go to the movies. No one answered and she heard someone yelling. Confused, she walked in and hid behind the wall, watching helplessly the blond boy being beaten to the ground by an older man. He was covered in brusies and blood. He screamed after being kicked in the stomach and the older man walked away. Drew stayed on the floor, shaking and crying. Lexi ran over in panic but he refused to let her help him. All he said was. "Go upstairs and see Jp." So after multiple tries she gave up and went to see the older brother. Instantly she knew she had to get them out. She told them to grab anything they needed or wanted and took them to her house. She called Mark instantly.

Her other friend, Mark, was not there for a particular reason. Lexi believed it was because of Drew. The two had a strong bond, the closest friends she had ever seen. She remembed perfectly what happened when he got there. Mark froze. His eyes filled up with tears and he walked over, tending to some of the wounds. After he had bandaged everything he huged him tightly, whispering things in his ear to make the younger teen calm down and feel better. So he had moved in with the three.After that moment, a makeshift family formed between the four. Mark had a history of his own. He was born into a poor family he barely remembers. At the age of three they were driving, talking about something while his mother cried. Mark was staying silent like always in the car until they stopped, in the middle of nowhere. Only thing around was a old abandoned park. His father got out of the car and moved to the back door, carefully removing the bluenette from his seat. His father placed him on the side of the road and smiled. "Be safe." He said and got back in the car. Leaving the confused child standing there. He looked at his mother who looked like she wanted to grab him and pull him into the car but didn't. "We love you Mark." She said and the car took off. Leaving him stranded. Mark didn't cry, he didn't scream. He stood there, waiting. Thinking it was a game and they would come back, hug him and say, "Aw. Mark we were only kidding." But they weren't coming back. He took cover in a tunnel at the old park. After a week he was found crying on the side of the road. He was taken to an orphanage where he was fed and taken care of. Sadly that orphanage was shut down and he was moved to a older orhanage at the age of four. There they didn't care and kids liked to pick on him. When he was six he was adopted by a lovely couple with a three year old daughter who cared for him as their own. He felt like he had a real family.

Lexi walked into the living room, seeing Jp laying on his stomach, eatting chips on the couch and watching tv. Drew was on the floor, also watching and every now and then stealing a chip or two. Mark though was no where to be seen. He was probably in his room, reading or working. She shrugged and looked at the tv and rolled her eyes. "What are you watching?" She asked and they shrugged. Mark walked in and did the same. The two looked at eachother and shrugged they sat down and watched tv. After an hour of mindless stupidioty Lexi got up. "Guys. We should go to bed. Tomorrow we need to work on out summer homework." She said and the others groaned. "Have you even read the book yet?" Mark asked, making Lexi stop. "No." She grumbled, getting a smile from the bluenette. "Exactly." He said as the Tv shut off. "Bed." She growled. They all seperated to their own rooms and got ready for bed.

The house was silent, only the sound of a cat gentally moving across the floor. Something strange started happening. All of the teens dreams combinded into one. Practically a new world for them. As if a story being played out that couldn't be remembered by the ones dreaming it.

Lexi turned, smiling. She was reading a yaoi manga and humming a tune. Jp walked over and tilted his head. "Hey Lex!" He called. She turned with a glare. "go away." She growled and thought for a second. "Why are you here?" She asked and blinked a few times. "Why are you here?" Jp repeated the same way. "This is my dream" They said in unision. After blinking a few times Lexi got up and smiled. "Well then." She muttered and looked around. "I wonder where Mark and Drew are. If they're here." She said and Jp nodded. they looked around, they were at a beach, midday. "Where could they be?" Jp asked. Lexi shrugged as they walked down the sandy path. Blue hair came in sight and Lexi started running towards the person. "Mark!" She said and he turned. "Lexi? Jp?" He asked slowly. "Hey!" She stopped running, Jp stopping after her. "Do I want to know?" He asked. Lexi shrugged and looked around. "Well you two are here. I think Drew should be too." She muttered. "Yo." The three turned, seeing the younger blond. "Well I guess we're all here." Mark said and smiled. "Its weird." Drew grumbled and looked at the ocean. The waves crashed onto the sand and the breeze was nice and warm. "Its perfect." Lexi muttered. Jp nodded and glanced at Lexi. "We should swim." She said and ran into a near by changing room. "Hurry up and change." The boys nodded and went in and changed into bathing suits that appeared for them. (a/n: Dont ask.)

Lexi walked out in a white and pink striped bathing suit, her hair put in a ponytail. One at a time the boys walked out. Jp in black and red checkered trunks, Mark in pale blue trunks, and finally Drew in plain black trunks and a grey shirt. Lexi smiled and ran to the water. "Come on!" She yelled and Jp followed her, splashing her while running in. Mark glanced at Drew and smiled. "Are you going to swim with us?" He asked and the blond looked down. "No." He muttered and Mark frowned. "Then I'll stay here with you." He said and smiled as they sat down, watching the two older teens play in the water. "You don't have to be so suc-concous about your scars." Mark said looking at Drew. He looked down and messed with his shirt. "I don't care." He answered and Mark stood up. "Drew, we wont judge you. We know." He said and Drew bit his lip and slowly slipped off his shirt, revealing scars and lightly faded brusies. Mark smiled and helped the blond up and they ran into the water also.

The four played for hours though it seemed like minutes. The sun was setting and the water was getting cold. They got out and grabbed towels hanging on the rods in the changing rooms and dried off before changing into their original clothing. After they all met up again they laid, spread out on the sand, from left to right was Mark, Drew, Lexi and Jp. They stared at the orange sky, the sun setting over the ocean. Jp smiled and turned towards Lexi. She glanced at him, confused. "You know." He started and paused.

Lexi woke up, yawning slowly and looked at the clock, 12:26 in the afternoon. She shrugged and went into the kitchen noticing everyone was still asleep. 'Anther dreamless night.' She though and started cooking.

-- "I really like you." He finished but Lexi was gone. He looked around and frowned sadly. Drew looked at him and frowned. "I'm sorry." He muttered. Jp shrugged and sat up. "It doesn't matter." He said and walked away, leaving the two boys alone. "He was about to tell her." Mark stated, slowly getting alittle closer to the blond. Drew nodded and closed his eyes. Mark reached for the blonds hand when Drew dissapeared as well. Mark jumped and sighed. 'Maybe next time.' He thought and disappeared as well.

Drew woke up and looked around. 12:46, 'Not to late.' He thought and curled back up. 'I wish I had dreams again. Like when I was a kid.' He thought and sighed.

Mark woke up and looked around. 'Another peaceful rest.' He thought and got up, chaning clothes and going into the living room, ignoring the smell of food cooking.

-- Jp mentally cursed himself out for not telling her sooner. How he felt about her. About Lexi. She was gone. Did she wake up? Will we remember? He asked himself and sighed. "Lexi I love you." He told no one in particular. Before he himself disappeared as well.
