Chapter 7
Axels POV- Dreaming
'Jenna? Jenna, where are you? Answer me! Where are you?'
My surroundings aren't clear. Everything is hazy....fuzzy....cloudy. My heart is beating rapidly as I panic, trying to take in my surroundings.
Nothings clear. Why is nothing clear? Why can't I see!
Suddenly, a loud, sharp, piercing cry echoes in the distance.
The scream tore through me like a great shard of glass. I felt my eyes widen and pulse quicken, my heart thudding like a rock rattling in a box. The scream came again, desperate, terrified....human.
My legs react immediately, running towards the frantic voice. Its pitch black and I cant see a thing.
'Help! Axel, help me!' Amelia...... I push my pace. Faster and faster. It feels like I'm getting nowhere. Like I'm running on a treadmill but not moving at all!
'AXEL!!!' She screams.
'AMELIA, WHERE ARE YOU!' I shout but there's no reply.
'Amelia!!!'
Nothing. I keep running in the same direction, hoping it'll get me somewhere. Anywhere!
'Axel...' I abruptly stop, not moving a muscle. The voice is calm and soothing but curious.
'Axel, darling...is that you?' Her voice is sweet bliss to my ears. Its the voice as I've been dreaming of since the day I lost her.....Jenna.
A hand gently touches my shoulder and slowly travels up my neck. I gulp and turn around.
A sob escapes my mouth. 'Jenna..' She gives me the most adorable and longing smile.
'Axel, it's you. It's really you!' She pulls me into her tight embrace. I suddenly feel safe, warm...at home. God, I miss this. I dig my face into her neck, not caring if I show my emotions.
Time seems to slow down as she slowly pulls away and brings me into a warm, soft kiss. I lean into her. I've longed for this moment, thinking it'd never come again.
My lips were firm against hers, but the kiss remained soft, gentle, slow. We held it for a few seconds before our lips began to move in perfect sync, slowly, cautiously.
I exhaled through my nose, not wanting to let go. My entire body had been taken over by the overwhelming feeling of relief, combined with eccentric panic, and lust.
I moved my hand from her cheek to the back of her head, my fingers tangling in her long, light and wavy hair, gently pulling her into me, adding more pressure to our lips, deepening the kiss.
For what felt like seconds, we separate.
'Jenna, what are you doing here? I th-thought you w-where...'
'Dead-' Jenna finishes. 'I am. This is a dream, Axel. Your dreaming.' Her eyes are the bluest I've ever seen them. Rare, beautiful and delicate. Just like her.
Apart of me wanted to disagree with her. Tell her she's not dead cause she's here with me. But the other part is a reality....she was raped and killed, lying on a bed, naked in Deans basement.
'I-am so so sorry, Jenna.' Tears drip from both our eyes as we look at each other, taking in every detail.
'I failed you...' I couldn't finish my sentence. If I did id probably find myself crying all over her, bringing her to the floor with my body weight.
She slowly lifts my chin and brings it close to her face. Her eyes turn solid and she sais,
'Don't you ever say that. Don't say that again you hear me! Axel, you were the best mate I could ever ask for! You respected my decisions, trusted me, made me feel loved! So don't say you failed me when you didn't!'
Her words bring tears to my eyes as I watch her bring her hands to my cheeks and kiss me again.
My voice is like chalk scraping across a chalkboard.
'I did Jenna, I did! He raped you, I wasn't there for y-you! Y-ou-'
She silenced me with a finger to my lips. I closed my mouth trying to hold back the violent tears of anger and regret.
I can see Jenna's eyes get glassy as she figures out what to say next. Instead, she hugs me. I just hug her back, wanting nothing more than to be with her forever. Whether that means in death or the living, I just wanted to be by her side forever. But my wish doesn't come true.
Suddenly, we were separated. The ground beneath us began to crack and shake. It was like the earth, mother nature herself wanted to separate us.
Jenna and I exchange panicked glances as we grow further and further apart.
'Jenna-' She cuts me off.
'Axel, we don't have much time! You're waking up! There's something I need to tell you, something important!'
Worry and panic make its way to my face. She continues.
'Dean killed me, yes. But there's another. Another man- Dean had.....members he was protecting.' We are far apart now that she has to shout for me to hear.
This is all too much to take in! So much to process! What was Jenna trying to say?
'What I'm trying to say is...Dean wasn't the only one involved with my murder. He had a friend who goes by the name of-'
The ground breaks apart even more and Jenna's voice begins to shrink and fade.
'Jenna, WHO?'
'B-jo'
'Wh-what Bjo? WHAT?'
'B-joooo'
We take one last glance at each other before everything goes black.
