Jayden sat on his bed materialiazing characters to fill his room. He looked at the one that resembled his brother. His heart ached. The character smiled at his and Jayden made him disappear. It sunk pack to it's original paper with a pained look on its face, the way Jayden had drawn him.
A female character, his mother, touched his cheek. He leaned into the touch. Longing to once again be her baby boy. But she had lied to him. She wanted nothing to do with her freak-show son. Jayden looked at his false mother and brought her back to the paper too. Jayden messed with his head when he did this. He produced a false sense of reality while he tried to lull himself into a fantasy world that was practically perfect.
A dark figure lingered in the corner of his room, baring its teeth. Jayden knew this character, he had tried to save him years ago. The figure turned Jayden's room into the park in the projects. He stared down at his father's body against the large tree. At a distance he looked as if he were smiling, but when Jayden stepped closer his stomache clenched. The lips were sewn shut and it wasn't his father. It was him.
Jayden screamed and sat up in his bed. Sweat dripped down his face and chest. His breathing was heavy and shallow. He had this dream every night, it never went away. Xavier tried to help him once, but it only made it worse. Jayden looked to the corner of the room, the figure was gone. He sighed and felt a cold, wet nose touch his side. His golden labrador Penny, wanted is attention. He kissed her head and rubbed at his temple. He wanted this to stop, five years was enough.

She sighed some wondering how Jayden was doing, she was done with everything and slowly walked up the steps but heard what seemed like a scream, she ran to his dorm room and knocked on the door. "Jayden...Its Grace" She said a bit worried hoping that he was ok, she would have opened the door but she was never rude like that, she sighed a little bit.

Penny jumped to from the bed and began to scratch at the door as she whimpered. Jayden stood up and pulled on a sleeveless hoodie. "Hush." he told Penny. She wagged her tail licked his fingertips. He opened the door for Grace and waited for her to come in. Penny barked.

She smiled walking into his room and smiled "Hello there Penny" She knelt down offering a hand for her to smell and looked up at Jayden and smiled. "Hey Jayden" She said kindly, looking into his eyes.

Jayden smiled. "C'mon Penny." He said pointing to the paper. She walked next to it and wagged her. Within seconds she was back on the paper in the very detailed way that Jayden had depicted her. "What are you doing here?" he asked Grace even though he knew that is was his nightmare that had brought her.

She stood up looking at him "Well I haven't seen you in a while, just wanted to hang out with you" She said truthfully. "When I was on my way here tho I heard you scream, is everything ok?" She walked over to him and hugged him. "You know you can talk to me"

"It's that dream I keep having. It won't go away. I don't even know what it means." Jayden said. He paced back and forth, trying to calm himself. He looked at a picture that lay on the floor. He bent down and touched it gently. A pink rose that had dew drops on it formed. He handed it to Grace. "For you." he said.

She watched him and smiled as she sat down on his bed and watched what he was doing, when she saw the rose she felt her face going very red, she took it from him. "Thank you Jayden, I will treasure this always" She said kindly, ever since she fell for angel and knew she could never be with him he was there, she sighed knowing Dem and Angel were getting married, it hurt her to know that.
"Your very sweet"

"But you aren't happy." Jayden said. "Leave him alone Grace." Jayden knew that it was Warren who was keeping her from being being happy. Jayden hated him even if he wasn't doing it intentionally. He lead Grace on along with a few other girls, he was a dog. "Why do you love him?" Jayden asked.

She looked up at Jayden and shrugged "My feelings for him are fading, its just him getting married.....he told me id find someone else, but so far I don't see anyone asking me out on a date wanting anything to do with me, im single and I feel so alone.."

I'm here, Jayden thought. "Why do you always wait for the guy to ask you out?" Jayden picked up a sketch book and drew a quick sketch of Grace near a window sill. He touched it and made it life size. In the picture, she seemed happy and in love. "I want to see you like that one day." He said with a smile.

She smiled "I know Jay" She said kindly looking up at him "There is one guy I like, but rather he likes me is another matter, we are good friends...." She placed her hand on his, hinting to him that he was the other guy she liked, she smiled looking into his eyes.

Jayden smiled and sketched a picture of a heart surrounded by fireworks. He turned it loose and laughed. He knew who she was talking about, he wasn't stupid. She didn't hide herself well.

She placed her hand on the side of his face lovingly, looking into his soft eyes "Do you want to go out with me Jayden?" She said lovingly she was happy with him around, he made her feel very special.

"Now was that so hard?" Jayden asked. He laughed and kissed her cheek. "I'd love t, but what took you so long?" He materialized Penny again to let her play with her toys. Jayden drew a detailed picture of himself and gave it to her. "For you."
