One

Sunshine shone against my face I felt warm and safe. A huge mirror stood before me, crafted with white marbles flowers. There, the girl in that mirror had beautiful golden brown eyes matching her waist long silver blonde hair. She was in a white western dress, with beautiful laces of small white flowers. For that moment, I never would have thought that it would be me. Curious about the scenery behind the mirror, I walk towards it. There I could see a fleet of white stone stairs leading the way to a beautiful garden filled with birds chipping, flowers blooming and butterflies dancing. The sky was so blue I felt in love with this place. ‘This must be heaven’ I said to myself.
Then, a man came walking towards me; slowly, up towards that fleet of stairs. When he reached me, he did not gasped for air or shown any sign of tiredness. He just smiled at me. His black hair was so perfectly cut. It looked as though it glitters with his little droplets of water on his hair reflects the sunlight. He smiled at me and reached out with his long arms towards me. For that moment, I thought he was an angel. As I walked towards him, I could see his dark brown eyes, it was filled with happiness. I can’t help myself but to put my arms around his waist. I felt my face against his chest and his arms around me. It felt warm and safe, yet electrifying. I wanted to call out for his name, yet, I have no idea what is his name. I look up at him as he look back, forcing myself to remember.
Suddenly, I could hear someone calling out to me.
‘Alice, Alice, wake up.’ A warm voice called out for me. I open my eyes and I realize it was just a dream. Disappointment rage through me, I did not want the dream to end. Yet, reality had to kick in. I gave a sigh and turn towards the person whom called out for me. There she was, Janine. She is my foster mum but she took care of me and my brother for over ten years. It’s hard not to love her. Although, she wasn’t our real mother, yet she was always there for us. Unlike our parents, they disappeared 10 years ago. Leaving me and my brother alone, at that huge mansion with a whole load of money in the bank; she was the one which pulled us back on to our own feet. After that, Janine became our parents and I hated it when I see her worrying about us.
‘Hey, darling, you’re finally awake. Doctor said that you recover real fast. Almost impossible but hey! Who cares, as long as you’re alright, I’ll be fine with it.’ She laughed. I could see that she was trying to act like it was nothing but I knew she was worried.
‘Do you know who am I?’ I said. ‘I am Alice Sharova! I am one of the strongest chick in the world.’ I said. She laughed. Finally, a real laugh that comes from her heart. ‘Alright, since I am alright then I want to know about the person which saved me.’ I demanded.
‘Oh! You mean, Jason! He is a one great boyfriend.’ She said.
Jason saved me? But the person I saw wasn’t him. I knew Jason very well, he is nice and kind and cute but he was definitely not a brunette or with dark brown eyes. And he was definitely not as tall as the person which saved me. Jason had dirty blonde hair with a cute cut that leave a finch at the left side and he had these deep blue eyes that I used to go crazy about. He could be him. I turn to Janine and wanted to ask if she was sure but before I could open my mouth, my sarcastic little brother, Adrian, came in and interrupted. He stood there with his charming smile and rolled his eyes at Janine when she saw her wet eyes.
‘Come on! You should be happy that she’s alive!’ He said to Janine. Janine just laughed. Then, he looked at me and gave a cough. ‘Wow, sis, this is the first time I’ve seen you look so horrible!’ He said.
I threw my pillow at him and caught him of guard. Then, Jason walks in. He looked at me and smiled. He was holding a bouquet of roses, my favorite. Janine reached out for the flowers and wink at me. Every time I see Jason and his blue eyes I am always filled with flowers in my heart yet, not all part of me seems to feel the electrifying shock which I dreamt of. That feeling was like heaven, yet, there is every part of me which wanted that in Jason.
‘Hey, doc said you could get out next thing in the morning.’ He said with a smile so bright. ‘Anxious?’ He added.
Something told me I have forgotten something. Something that was really important. And it hit me, what happen to the others in that accident, Sophie and Louise, oh my god, and her brother, Daniel. My heart drop, I couldn’t breathe for a second and realize they were at that accident too. How could I forget?! I turn to Jason fiercely and look into his eyes. And I realize he knows something, there was sadness hidden within that deep blue eyes of his. There, I had to know if they were alive, had they survive that incident.
‘Daniel, Sophie! Louise! Are they okay?! Had they survive?!’ I could hear myself practically shouted. Yet, all three of them, Janine, Jason and Adrian gave me a hesitant face. Especially, Jason; he look at me and touch my face, stroking my silver blonde hair to the back of my ear. He shook his head.
‘They didn’t survive; they were already gone when I got there.’ He said. For that moment, my heart felt like it had broken to pieces. The scene of the accident flash before me, I could see their faces. All bloody and dead. I held my breath and turn to Jason. He looked at me as though he knew what I was thinking.
‘Alice, I know what you’re thinking but no, it wasn’t your fault. You don’t have to feel guilty. You weren’t the one which drove the truck.’ He sighed. ‘You’ll need to sleep this off. Please, Alice, promise me you’ll not do this to yourself.’ He added. I nodded.
After I’ve been discharge out of the hospital and found everything was all too much for me. Jason told me that they already had their funeral. Yet, everything felt so unreal. Janine told me Jason was the one which saved me. But I was sure that it was another man. Yet, Jason whom had never lied to me told me he did safe me. What was worst was that I was the one which sat at the back of the car where the truck hit right at me instead of them. Yet, I didn’t die, but they did. I couldn’t believe this. I hate myself for that. I hate myself for the only one which survived.
Janine was the one who fetch me back from the hospital but none of us could say a word. It was all just the noise of the radio. Normally, I would sing with the radio and laugh with Janine but I couldn’t, not when this had happen.
When we reached the front of the house or what my brother would show off and say, a huge empty mansion which was left by our irresponsible parents which disappeared 10 years ago. To me, the only nice thing that I like about was the garden my mother had left us. I got out of the car and just walked straight towards the garden. There it was filled with flowers, roses that made the scent of the garden almost like its heaven. Jasmine that made the air felt so relaxing. The white stone walkway that led to that little white swing, that I used to sat with my mother. It almost looked like the scene in my dream. All that was left was the man that I’ve seen in my dream the man that I thought saved me.
I sat down on the swing and lay back and looking up at the big blue sky just made me wanted to know who the man I saw in my dream was and at the accident. But my day dream came to an end when a delicate hand touches me. I look up and there she was so perfect as always. Her dark brown hair that almost looks black and dark brown eyes that always seems like it glitter when the sun shines at her. She was so perfect that sometimes she makes me feel jealous. She was Karolina, my best friend. I look at her once more and realize she had a huge resemblance to the man I saw in my dream. Maybe I had imagined the man version of her in my dream.
‘Are you okay?’ She asked. I gave her a don’t-worry look and hug her. She smiled and stared at me with the oh-my-god-you-look-like-crap gaze and I knew she was going to start the fashion talk. ‘Hey, I got an idea! Let’s go shopping!’ She said excitedly. ‘What’s going to come out from my mouth is not going to be pleasant. You look horrible!’ She exclaimed. ‘Don’t get me wrong. Although you were always the sexy babe and all but you need some make over.’ She added. I laughed and agreed.
