Just a dream?
It was 2am ,me and my sister were on the bed talking with each other.

The door was slightly shut,while the lights were on.My father entered the room fuming with anger.

"Why aren't you sleeping?!"

After shouting at us for sometime. I closed my eyes and pulled the blanket up.

I suddenly found myself on a train, dressed in a cute light pink frock.My hair tyed in a pony tail with a white ribbon.I looked around trying to process everything. I looked out of the window,some people were standing at the station. My eyes fell on a man, tall ,well-dressed and handsome. He looked at me and I did the same.

He gave me a smile and got on the train.I was trying to process everything as I found him sitting beside me.

"It's Liam and you?"

"Umm...Erum "I replied .

"I suddenly heard a coughing sound .I looked behind and it was my DAD!!

"Come here and sit beside me"

The train started at a slow speed. Suddenly, Liam grabbed my hand and took me to the exit as we jumped out of the train .We ran across the station. I could hear my father screaming at the top of his voice. But my heart advised me to ignore him and I did.

We climbed on a train ,passing by. It was a train carrying goods to another place. We sat on the back of the train .
He sat beside me ,rubbing my back.

Suddenly,everything went black. It was a tunnel .I closed my eyes shut.But when I opened them I froze.

It was a strange land all full of greenery. I could see a huge waterfall, unknown and beautiful animals passing by and bird flying by. I had never seen such a place neither in real or on internet. Flowers decorated the whole scene.

The train stopped and I could see a small cabin. I got of the train ,bare foot. The soft grass tickling my feet, I ran towards the waterfall ,jumping around. I hugged a big tree trunk as I tried to catch a little ,yellow squirrel. I took a deep breath,the wet soil was showering a sweet perfume. I wanted to take it all, forever.

Liam took my hand and we headed towards the cabin, walking slowly. I stopped , pulling him back. I stared directly into his eyes.

"Am I in heaven?"I asked as my eyes watered .He just patted my head. I want it to go on forever.

But suddenly, I woke up with a jerk. I was sweating and it was 9 am in the morning.

Unfortunately, I had to assume that it was just a dream.

Was it just a dream?
