My eyes shot open and i turned my head and looked towards the table were my pills were laid out and my notebook was closed .

I slowly got up and i rubbed my eyes as i ran my fingers through my hair and sniffled , i grabbed my notebook and began to write the first thing that came to my mind

Today i had a dream that i went down to the woods where you usually took me and i met a dude named Adonis and he asked me to go on a trip with him .. we hung out for two weeks and i finally left

My mother wasn't really sure about the idea of me running off and leaving with some stranger and the whole time i was with him , i would close my eyes and i could see you , i would hear you calling my name and it drove me crazy.

I don't think i was actually feeling him , i just wanted him to help me get over you . He filled the void , emptiness and the darkness i had inside of me.

We went to the sea of trees and i saved some girl named penny life , she was about to kill herself.

we had fun and i even did shrooms i thought being with him would make the pain end but it didn't , the pain only grew.

We ended up going to a party and i did a lot of drugs which i wasn't proud of.

I even danced with plenty of males while Adonis was at the party , he approached me and told me how he felt but i simply told him i wasn't his and he wanted me to have fun right? So that's what i was doing.

He ended up leaving me and then i laid down and seen those slippers you would always wear and i followed you into the room and you said i had to let you go in order for you to go because i was holding you back.

I sighed and i closed my notebook i slowly rose up from my seat and went into the kitchen and seen my mother cooking along with my sisters "finally you're up , you were knocked out on the couch." my sister , jamila , spoke.

"You left all of your pills on the counter as well." My mother spoke as she continued to cut the greens

I was so confused because my dream seemed so real and like i was actually there . I cleared my throat before speaking "ima head off to the woods to clear my mind." I assured.

"You still haven't got over grandma?." I heard my sister call out and i simply ignored her and went into the living room and slid on my shoes before exiting out the house.

I finally arrived at the woods and i went down to the where the rocks were located and pulled out my blunt .

I opened my notebook up and went to a empty page. I placed the blunt in between my lips and lit it up .

I looked around the woods and slowly closed my eyes taking in everything that happened in my dreams

"You come here often." I heard a familiar voice call out , i shifted uncomfortably and quickly put out my blunt and turned around

The sun beamed on his cameral complexion, his dreads hung and his face and he stood about 6 foot .

he was beautiful.

"as much as i can." I mumbled while grabbing my notebook and placing it into my life

"What do you come out here for?." He asked while taking a seat next to me and looking off watching the waves crash into to rocks.

"I come out here to gather my thoughts and write." I looked over at him and smiled "what about you?."

He shrugged his shoulders "me and my sister been traveling from place to place and we finally decided to settle here and i ended up here next to you." He chuckled while brushing his hair out of his face. "What do write?."

I nodded my head and looked down at my book "i write poetry." I said lowly

"You eva' thought about making a book ?that'd be dope. Ian never met a real life poet." He turned his head towards me

i shifted so i could be more comfortable and i studied his face "i can't put my finger on it." I mumbled "i don't know it's weird .. i feel like i known you my whole life." I blurted out loud

"you wanna know what's crazy? I had this weird ass dream that i came to the woods and met this beautiful young lady and we went on a trip together. We went to this places called sea of trees and I had grown feeling for her but she didn't feel the same way because i was just feeling the void she had in her heart . I wasn't her grandmother." He mumbled whille looking down at the rock

"You know what's crazy? I had the same dream." I chuckled while twirling my hair around my finger "his name was Adonis."

"Her name was jukai ." He looked up with a scrunched up face "Adonis is my middle name."

"And jukai is my middle name." I smiled while sticking out my hand , he grabbed it tightly and shook my hand " I'm miyoko jukai aiko." I stated while chuckling.

"And I'm Elias Adonis Powell." He let go of my hand "and i think the universe, god or something brought us together."

I giggled while brining my knees up to my chest "in my dream we went on a trip." I laid my head on my knees.

He leaned back and placed both of his hands flat on the ground and looked over at him smirking "so should we go on a trip?." He asked

I shook my head yes "indeed we should." I bit down on my bottom lip "let's move slow this time."

"Totally cause ain't no way I'm about to go with a chick everywhere around the world ian' know that well." He shrugged "could've killed me." He mumbled the last part

I laughed "what's your sister name?."

"penny is her name." my eyes widened and my jaw dropped

"It's crazy because in my dream we saved somebody named penny in this forest called sea of trees because she tried to kill herself." I twisted my lips to the side

"Oh word? she recently tried to harm herself because we lost our dad a year ago and lately she's been dating men and she tries to find our dad in the man she dates." He shook his head sounding disappointed " in my dreamed we tried to save somebody named Jisele , she died from cancer and she had really bad diabetes." He mumbled

I shifted uncomfortably and batted my eyes so the tears wouldn't fall from my eyes "my grandmother name was Jisele , she died from cancer and had really bad diabetes."
