When In My Dreams, I Met You Chapter One: Unforgettable Dream
A dream is also a reality, a hidden power of the mind that holds the truth,” Cara often reflected on this belief whenever her thoughts wandered back to the strange dream from her past.As a child, Cara had been bright yet naïve when she first encountered that vivid, bizarre dream. In it, she met a boy she believed to be a childhood playmate. He was quiet and reclusive, and while the other children rejected him, treating him as though he were mute due to his shy nature, Cara saw something different in him. She understood that he wasn’t disabled or unable to speak; he could communicate just like anyone else, but he seemed to keep to himself. Something about him drew her in—something no one else seemed to notice. There was a kind of mystery about him that fascinated her, a feeling that something significant lay hidden beneath the silence. It was as if she could feel his thoughts, his pain, and his unspoken words without him having to say a thing. There was an undeniable connection between

“You mean, this time it wasn’t a boy, but a grown man? Did you see his face?” Jean asked, curiosity dancing in her voice.Cara sat quietly, trying to gather her thoughts before responding. “I didn’t. I was about to see his face, but then I suddenly woke up. I tried going back to sleep to continue the dream, but I couldn’t return to it. I was frustrated, Jean. It felt like something important was just out of reach.” She let out a soft sigh, her tone heavy with disappointment.Jean’s voice took on a playful, almost teasing quality. “I think your childhood playmate just grew up into a man. Maybe it was him! Can you imagine? Your dream is unbelievable! But then again, maybe it’s just absurd. It couldn’t happen in reality… unless he’s real. So, don’t mind me, I’m just throwing ideas out there,” she laughed, trying to lighten the mood.Jean was joking, but she had a point. It didn’t make sense that the boy from her dream could grow up into a man in real life. Maybe it was just Cara’s mind cr

Cara was back in reality, sitting at her usual desk in the classroom. The mundane noise of chatter and the rhythmic tapping of pens on paper filled the air around her, but her mind remained far away. It was just a dream, she repeated to herself, her eyes unfocused as she stared at the blank notebook in front of her. A dream isn’t real. She clung to the mantra, trying to calm the rapid beats of her heart. She had to move on. She couldn’t let herself keep obsessing over it. She had to believe it was nothing more than a figment of her imagination, an illusion created by her mind. And yet, despite her reassurances, the image of the man from her dream still lingered, vivid and unsettling.At lunch, she sat in her usual spot in the cafeteria, absentmindedly stirring her food. The noise around her felt muffled, her thoughts scattered. That’s when Jean slid into the seat across from her, snapping her out of her reverie.“Hey, dear! What’s up?” Jean greeted her with a bright smile, not noticing

She woke up feeling mesmerized, a sensation that was far from ordinary. It wasn’t just a dream; it was a memory she couldn’t forget. The strange kiss he had given her before she left her dream was vivid, haunting, and genuine.She could still see his face clearly in her mind, questioning her, as he moved closer. She felt his hand gently touch her face. Her breath caught when she saw his face inching toward her, and then, as if pulled by some magnetic force, his lips brushed the tip of her nose. A second later, his lips descended on hers, soft and intense, like a lion devouring its prey.He paused, his warm breath against her ear. “This is the thing I wanted to give you before you leave. Remember me, and I will live in your heart forever.”Cara could still feel the lingering effect of that kiss, even though she had awoken from the dream. She tried to convince herself it had been just that—only a dream—but somehow, it felt like something far more real, something that couldn’t be erased.

"This is for you," the boy said, his voice light and filled with an innocence that Cara found both endearing and unsettling. He extended his hand, holding a piece of chocolate, and his eyes sparkled as if this small offering meant more than just a simple treat. "I want to give you this because you're the only one who enjoys playing with me."Cara's heart fluttered, and she couldn't help but smile. The boy’s kindness, his pure joy in the moment, reminded her of a simpler time in her childhood. She hadn’t thought about it in years, but suddenly, she was transported back to that moment—the memory clear as day in her mind. Without thinking, her impulse was to kiss him on the cheek in return, a gesture of affection that felt as natural as breathing. She did it without hesitation, her lips brushing his skin in a soft, innocent way, her heart warming in the process. She pulled back, smiling, her cheeks flushed with warmth. He smiled back at her, his eyes alight with the same joy, and in that

"Where are we going, Mister?" Cara asked, her curiosity piqued by the odd, meandering path they were walking down."So, you’ve decided to call me Mister, huh?" He smiled, his tone light, but he ignored her question altogether, as if recalling the last time she’d given him a nickname."Nope! Answer my question first," she insisted, her voice firm. "Where are we going?""I’m calling you Mister because you’re too mysterious to have a proper nickname. Why bother?" She explained herself, though the words felt unsatisfying, overshadowed by his hypnotizing charm.He didn’t respond to her words directly. "We’re here," he said instead, flashing her a sweet smile. Without warning, he stopped walking. Cara, still holding his hand, looked around and was immediately struck by the stunning beauty of the place.This was no ordinary place. It was like a paradise. At first, she hadn’t noticed, too focused on the man beside her. But now, as she let her eyes wander, she realized just how magical it was.

“Hey, what are you staring at? Do I have something funny on my face?” she asked, her voice playful but filled with a hint of curiosity. She had noticed him gazing at her intently, a soft smile playing at the corners of his lips. His expression was distant, as though lost in thought.“Did I ever tell you that you’re incredibly pretty?” he responded, his voice genuine and warm. "I was just admiring your face earlier. Honestly, I’ve been drawn to you since the very first time we met. And even now, you still captivate me."His words were direct, without any hint of pretense, as if he had no fear of expressing his feelings. It made her feel both flattered and a bit confused. Could he really mean it?She tilted her head, trying to process his words. “I want to believe it, but you’re just a dream. Aren’t you? But thanks anyway,” she said, her voice tinged with sadness. The reality of the situation hit her once more. She knew she was only dreaming. This connection, this feeling she had for him

She arrived at school, clutching the red rose the little girl had given her. It felt fragile in her hands, almost as though it were too precious to be real.Lost in thought as she approached her locker, a voice suddenly interrupted her reverie. “If you leave that pretty flower in your locker, it might wilt.”She turned quickly, startled by the sudden interruption. Standing beside her locker, leaning casually against the wall with his cap tilted low over his eyes, was the guy from the other day—the one with the ripped jeans and a carefree, almost aloof attitude. His face was hidden behind the cap, just like it had been in class, but his voice was unmistakable. It was the same guy, and yet, the more she tried to make sense of him, the more he confused her.Before she could react, before she could even ask him what he was doing here, he pushed off the wall and, with a slight smirk on his face, disappeared into the crowd of students without another word.Cara stood there for a moment, unsu

Vince walked toward the corner of the cafeteria, his mind racing. He suddenly remembered the journal he had given Will before leaving for his adoptive parents' home. He stood up and left the table with Cara to confirm some things, his mind still piecing together the thoughts that had surfaced while reminiscing about his time with her.Vince sat down across from Will, ready to bring up the journal, but before he could say anything, Will started speaking with his usual cunning expression. "You really can't get over Cara, can you?" Will said, a sarcastic grin spreading across his face. He knocked Vince lightly on the shoulder, his tone sharper than before. "I thought you remembered those days. What happened? I thought you wanted to protect her, just like I warned you.""You're right. Cara is my medicine, and she’ll always be my support, even after I heal," Vince replied, clearly firing back at Will’s jabs. "But that’s not the real reason I came here. I need to ask you something about the

“Professor, may I speak with you for a moment?” Vince asked, his voice tinged with unease. His mind was a whirlwind of restless thoughts as he walked toward Cara’s closest friend and most trusted confidante. He felt an overwhelming urge to learn more about Cara—specifically, the fears she had kept buried, the ones she had yet to share with him. His need to understand her was growing, and he hoped that her closest friend could provide insight into the things Cara had yet to reveal. “What’s this about? Is this regarding Cara?” she asked, her tone almost knowing. She motioned for him to follow her toward the counseling room, as though she anticipated his question before he even spoke it. Vince, feeling a mix of apprehension and curiosity, followed her quietly, sensing that whatever she would say would leave him with more questions than answers. Once they were seated in the quiet of the room, Vince didn’t waste any time. He asked, his voice steady but filled with urgency, “Can you tell m

"I have something to confess," he said, a playful grin tugging at his lips as he sat across from her. The morning sunlight poured through the window, casting a warm, golden glow over the hidden room. He felt a sense of lightness, almost as if a weight had been lifted from him. It was as though he'd been holding onto something for far too long, and now, finally, he was ready to let it go. Today, he was ready to be with Cara without any lingering hesitation."Yeah? Well, you still owe me the full story from the start. I’m curious," she replied, her voice soft but tinged with a hint of playful expectation. She always had that air of innocence about her, the kind that made him want to protect her, but today, he had a feeling she’d be seeing a different side of him.He leaned back against the headboard, his eyes glinting with a mischievous spark. "Do you remember the guy who gave you that iced coffee?" he asked, watching her reaction closely.She smiled, a light laugh escaping her lips as s

"Mom, I need to tell you something. Vince and I… we like each other. I’m saying this not to ask for your approval, but because I don’t want to lie to you anymore. I’m sorry if you’re disappointed in me, but I’m old enough to make my own decisions. I remembered my past, and Vince and I talked about everything. He understands, even about his parents. I’ve already been punished for my mistakes, and I’ve been forgiven. I don’t want to blame myself for something I wasn’t responsible for, just because I was too young to understand.”She didn’t know if this was the right time to reveal her relationship with Vince to her mom, but her mom’s ears were sharp, and she was too late to stop herself from saying it. Cara’s best friend excused herself and left early, clearly trying to avoid the impending interrogation that she knew would come. She had been helpful, but now Cara was alone with her mother, who was already suspicious of what she had been doing."But I don’t want you to be hurt in the end,

"Cara, I have an idea for you to get Vince to spend time with you alone and leave him after. I know just the place," Will suggested, his voice filled with a mischievous tone."How do we get there? Do you want to come with us? I’m not sure I can leave Vince alone. He’s my friend, after all," Cara hesitated, her concern for Vince growing."Look over there, see that big cave? If you can get Vince to go there with you, you can play as much as you want. He might even want to be left alone afterward. I won’t be able to come with you, but I can give you directions. You’re a smart girl, I’m sure you’ll find your way back here easily."Will’s plot was clear, and Vince already knew it. At any moment, he anticipated Cara would approach him, unwittingly carrying out Will’s deceitful plan. He quickly turned away, hoping to remain unseen as he overheard their conversation.Minutes later, Cara’s light footsteps echoed through the space, and she came running toward him, wearing her cute little sandals
When In My Dreams, I Met You Chapter Forty: Dreams or Memories
“I don’t want this to end,” she whispered in her mind as Vince paused for a moment. But before she could process her thoughts, she pulled him back in, her body moving like a wild tigress drawn to the allure of their intense connection. Everything they were doing felt so foreign, so new, and yet, there was an undeniable pull. This was more than just passion; it was a storm brewing inside her, a beautiful disaster unleashed all at once. Her emotions surged and swirled within her, and with a quiet whisper against his ear, she uttered, “Oh please, punish me.”She was giving herself up to him completely, offering herself as the release for their shared chaos. Their emotions were raw and unfiltered, finally allowing them to surrender to the overwhelming desire and pain of the past. In each other’s embrace, they found the balm for the wounds they had carried with them for so long. It was as though the years of anguish had led to this moment, where their bodies and souls could finally heal.Fo

She felt a knot tighten in her stomach as she read the message from the man who had recently left her heart feeling hollow. She had believed that Vince had severed their connection the last time they spoke. After all, he had avoided her at every turn, making it feel as if they were nothing more than strangers now. Yet, despite everything, her feet seemed to carry her toward him again, drawn by some force she couldn’t explain. After reading his text, she felt like she was in a trance—perhaps admitting to herself for the first time that she missed him.Her steps grew heavier, her heart racing with a strange mix of excitement and anxiety. She walked toward the hidden room in the farthest section of the library, unaware of how foolish she must have seemed. Every step she took felt like it was leading her to something inevitable. A whirlwind of emotions was surging inside her—confusion, longing, fear, and hope.As she entered the hidden room, she suddenly sensed an unfamiliar tension in th

Vince headed straight to the cafeteria, already irritated by his sister’s behavior. She had texted him, telling him she was having lunch with Cara. He had been planning to leave early, but now he felt uneasy. He couldn’t stand the thought of his sister pestering Cara, especially after everything that had happened.As he walked toward them, he could see the two of them talking. Cara was being polite, but there was something about her expression—it was as if she was tolerating his sister's attitude with practiced ease, like she already knew how to handle her.“I knew you’d have trouble making friends with that snotty attitude, my dear sister. My appreciation for Cara for tolerating your type,” Vince blurted out as he approached the table, annoyance evident in his voice."Hey, watch it!" his sister shot back, but Cara understood the jibe clearly. Her calm demeanor didn’t change, but Vince could see a flicker of understanding in her eyes, as though she wasn’t surprised by his outburst."It

Mrs. Perez sat in a daze, the weight of the truth slowly sinking in. For years, she had held onto the belief that her daughter’s involvement in the tragic accident that took the lives of Vince’s parents was somehow the root cause of the family’s devastating loss. She had convinced herself that Cara’s presence at that moment had caused the chaos and that her responsibility was to protect her daughter from the repercussions. But now, after everything that had unfolded, Mrs. Perez realized the terrible truth—she had been wrong. It wasn’t her daughter’s fault. It wasn’t Cara who had caused the destruction, but Vince’s condition, a bipolar disorder had played a part in the chain of events leading up to the tragedy. She could no longer deny it.Her thoughts drifted back to a conversation she had with Mr. Anderson, Will’s father, years ago. She could still hear the sorrow in his voice as he explained Vince’s diagnosis, the instability that had surrounded Vince’s life, and how it had contribut
