Death during Youth

Ok, so I had yet another weird dream last night. I don't remember all the details but I'll try to recall as much as possible. I remember it was me and LaDona and I don't know if we were trying to get to the high school or if we had already gotten there but had to leave....at some point we were there but we would not park even though the parking lot was empty. So as we were driving around the parking lot (I think maybe waiting for someone) we saw a guy (a senior like Anthony or Cody Borin) drive past so we followed him. When we got to his house though, the front door was open so we just walked inside. It was situated on the side of this hill by a lake back in the woods. Well, we walked out on the back porch when suddenly a tree or something huge like a tree started falling. We saw it coming right at us, and therefore managed to jump out of the way of the trunk, but still got pretty banged up by the branches and whatnot. Somehow, we got free and walked back to the road toawrds someone else's house. I want to say it was Seth McIntyre's house we were headed to for help but I'm not sure....maybe Joseph. Anyways, the walk seems to take forever since we both had gashes and bruises and LaDona had gotten stabbed in her side by a branch...about an inch deep or so. I just had a broken arm, a sprained ankle, and a bump on the head. So we finally get to this house. It's a brick house, fairly small. We knock but no one comes, so we thought we'd go use the phone to call for help. They only had one phone and it was a cordless that wasn't on the charger so I pressed the LOCATE button and we listened. It was coming from downstairs. We finally got to it when the house started shaking violently. An earthquake. I grabbed LaDona and started draggin her toward a doorway but it was too late, the house was starting to collapse. I tried to pick up a mattress to put on top of us, but I couldn't with my broken arm. Then I tried sliding it off the bed on top of us, but just as I was sliding it one of the main beams in the house crashed down right on top of us. From then on it was chaos with bricks falling on us and furniture. Although it only lasted a few minutes, it was dark outside when it was over. I knew because I could see the sky, the house was demolished on top of us. I saw that we were in a valley when I awoke, and started yelling for LaDona to say something, anything, to let me know she was alive. When I didn't hear anything I struggled to get loose but my legs were broken from the beam and I could tell it had smashed my organs pretty bad. My lungs were starting to collapse because I was losing my breath very fast, but I pulled myself over the debris with my one good arm and found her, buried deep. I pushed off what I could until her shoulders were free and I tried to shake her. She opened her eyes for a second and we both started crying. She looked at me and said "I'm not getting out of here, Steph, so tell Bo I love him..." and I hugged her as best I could and knew I didn't have long either. "I never thought we would die this young.." I gasped, and my mind started filling with all the people I'd never get to see again and all the things I'd never get to do. Then LaDona stopped breathing. I saw a notepad underneath a nightstand beside me and grabbed it. I took the pen off the spiral and wrote, "I'm sorry that I couldn't be here for you..." My breath was very short and shallow now and the pain was tearing through my body but I had just enough strength left to write "We'll all be together again." Then my hand froze and I dropped everything. I laid down next to LaDona's body and died.....

I'm tellin ya steph, these dreams of yours. These dreams are gettin really wierd. Are you eating anything before you go to bed? Like maybe porkrineds? Or maybe bath salts? Just a suggestion, but maybe you should stop if you are. And I do believe that all your dreams are focusing around people that you once were very close too. i.e. Shane, Daniel, LaDona, Audra, etc. Maybe your dreams are putting an end to your friendships for you. But, who knows? Well, gotta go. C ya.
