I felt light as if I was floating as I slowly opened my eyes, the pain having left me.

I was immediately blinded by light.

I looked around after I had recovered from the brightness.

There was nothing around me but grass. The vivid green spread out for as long as I could see.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" I called out, hoping that someone would hear and come to me.

Out of nowhere, a girl appeared. 

She was kneeling on the ground with her head in her hands, crying. 

Her sobs echoed throughout the field. 

"Hello? Who's there?" I asked, glued to the spot. 

She didn't reply. 

I asked again and this time she turned around. 

"Alice," I breathed, feeling my feet move forward as I recognised her. 

Before long, I was running towards her. 

But no matter how long I ran, she kept getting further away from me. 

"Alice!" I yelled to her, feeling tears of frustration surround my eyes. 

I felt pain in my chest as I heard her sobs again. 

"Please wake up Leo."

I felt my legs get heavy and I fell onto my knees, looking at the grass. 

Silence surrounded me as I noticed that she had stopped crying. 

I looked up and saw that she was gone; she had disappeared. 

"Alice!"

"Where are you?!"

I turned around frantically in search of her. 

But she was nowhere to be found. 

I felt my tears finally fall from my eyes as I began to cry. 

"Could this be it?" 

I heard someone say. 

I looked towards the voice and saw my brother looking off into the distance. 

"Jordan," I whispered. 

"I know we expected it to happen sooner or later but why now?"

"Expected what?" I asked him. 

He didn't answer. 

"It's already been this long. How much longer are we going to wait?"

"Jordan what are you talking about?!" I yelled at him. 

And even though my voice surrounded the both of us, he didn't hear me.
