11. Why? When? How?
Rhea's POV
I opened my front door to see a worried mother and a texting Pia. Kane honked his car before driving off to check on his own mother in hospital. I walked straight towards my room, wanting to get out of the gold dress which I had been in for almost 24 hours. I could hear Pia's footsteps following me.
"You look like hell," she stated. I gave her the finger which she responded by laughing.
"I'm tired, cranky and I smell. I want a bath." I pulled the dress over my head, not bothered by Pia being in the room. However, when I looked at her, she was frowning then let out a small gasp.
"Holy freaking cheesecake," she whispered.
"What is it now?" I walked up to her so I could also see what she was looking at but she put her phone away.
"Nothing. Nothing," she said nervously.
"Tell me," I said curious now. What could she be possibly be hiding.
"Look at the time! I should be off. Muffins to burn. Tea to boil. Ta!"
Pia hurried out of the room before I could stop her then I heard my front door slam. She was a confusing person which sometimes made me wonder why I was friends with her. But if she wanted to keep secrets from me, I knew that it would be for a good reason. I quickly had my bath, cleaning off the scent of a criminal. I lay on my bed in thought and after a while, I drifted to sleep.

I looked around to see I was in a penthouse that was empty. My pyjamas were no longer on me and I was wearing a black skin-tight dress that fell to my knees. No shoes but I didn't feel cold.
Calmly, I made my way to what I assumed was the living room. One wall was mainly covered by the huge flat screen that hung there. I sat down on one of the black sofas, wondering why my dream took me here.
Then the front door slammed shut indicating someone had entered. My body was tingling with anticipation for the unknown person. Weird. I got up to find them only to walk into a hard chest. I knew this was a guy from the 8 pack staring at me.
"F*ck," I hear him say. Then I looked up.
Hadrian?
I began to step backwards not knowing why I would dream him up. He looked amazing for a guy who should be dead, wearing his usual black jogging bottoms. Cautiously, he walked towards me edging me closer to the sofa again.
"Rhea," Hadrian said lowly. "Are you asleep?"
I missed that voice and the annoying smirk that came with it. I nodded to answer his question but I wasn't entirely sure. He suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him. My breathing hitched from the proximity of our bodies. His grey eyes explored mine for a few moments then his right hand pushed my hair back. I could feel his gaze burning the skin on my neck.
"Hmm," he hummed.
"Hmm?" I whispered, hoping he didn't realise how much he was affecting me. Hadrian let me go then sat down in the seat I was in before. I felt cold once he released me.
"You now have a temporary tattoo on your neck."
My eyes widened then I remembered that it was a dream. However, Hadrian looked very real.
"Why am I here?" I asked.
He tilted his head in thought. "I may have separated your soul from your body which would explain why you're here when I'm awake and you're asleep. Or in a coma."
"But you can't be awake you're dead."
"I would love to explain but your dream is coming to an end."
I could feel something changing as my dream started to fade.
"Later, princess."
*****
I sat up quickly, knocking heads with the person who decided to wake me. Kane dropped to the ground with a thud.
"Rhea, do you want to put me in hospital?"
"I just saw... I meant dreamt of..." I stuttered. It seemed so real. I needed Pia. I ran out of my room, leaving Kane in pain as usual. I stumbled down the stairs, frantically looking for my blond best friend. Then I remembered she left my house. I ran back up the stairs to search for my phone, almost colliding with Kane.
"Sorry!" I apologised as I went round him.
He shook his head then followed me upstairs. My phone lay on the floor so I scooped it up and quickly dialed Pia.
"PIA! I had the freakiest dream!" I almost screamed down the phone.
"Is there a chance it was about someone called... Hadrian DiRomero?"
"Yes! You're getting good at predicting things."
I could hear someone shouting in the background. Pia yelled back that she was coming. "Okay. Rhea, I'll be at your house later but don't read too much into it. Remember Hadrian is dead."
She ended the call leaving me wondering why she sounded off. As if she was lying...

I had a headache when I wrote this... BUT I'LL LIVE (right?)
So my lovelies, this is the shortest chapter and a strange one.
Please (if you love me like I love you) SHARE, COMMENT & VOTE. Because that means you can have a friend to fangirl/boy with over Hadrian or Rhea (depends on you XD) and we can become FAYMOUS ... I'm joking.
