A midsummer nights dream

I woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. I looked at the clock, it was 3:27am. “That was the scariest dream ever” I whispered to my best friend Robyn. “Just go back to sleep Louise, it was only a dream” she whispered back. So I tried to do what she said, but it just couldn’t get that image out of my head- the people screaming, the injured bodies, the blood. After the train crashed, I tried to run but my leg was caught under a seat that had fell down, then a falling of rubble came straight at me and I woke up. After along time, I eventually gave up on trying to fall asleep and just lay there in the dark until morning came.

At the breakfast table I just couldn’t bring myself to eat anything. “Louise, what’s up?” asked Robyn “was it the dream?”                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

“Yeah” I mumbled back to her.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

"come on, let’s go and enjoy the rest of our summer holiday. Shall we go shopping in town?”                                                      

  “Okay” I said with a small smile. Robyn always knows how to cheer me up. She grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door.

We were walking down the street when she came to halt outside the train station. “w-why are you stopping?” I stuttered.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          “because we’re getting the train!” she answered.                                                                                                                                                                         “

"What?! You didn’t say anything about the train. I thought we were getting the bus!”                                                                                                                        

"I'm not getting the bus! It takes longer and it costs more. Just get the train Louise. It was only a dream, nothing’s going to happen” she moaned.                  

“Fine!” I grumbled and I stomped into the station after her.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

When the train pulled up, I was consumed with terror, but I had to do this. I couldn’t let Robyn down, and I had to face my fears. Robyn stepped on, and I tried to follow her, but i couldn’t do it! I just couldn’t do it! I took a step away, and Robyn tried to follow me, but as she did she the train sped away and she slipped under it. Once the train had gone, I saw my best friend. Dead.
