Chapter 4
Amelia sits on her bed writing the last of the dream she had before she woke up In her journal. Ever since then she couldn't stop thinking about it, the whole thing was so real unlike anything she'd ever experienced before. Of course she had dreams but never like that, and they boy he was so real, she was sad that it was only a dream because he seemed to like her genuinely. His face was stuck in her head, and his words seemed to replay over and over, normally the people in dreams are based off of people in real life but she'd never seen anyone who looked like him otherwise she would have remembered. There was no guy in her life that had ever taken any sort of interest in her, so where he came from she had no idea. She sighs and flips the page of her journal and begins to draw him, Ashton was his name and for some reason she could still remember every single detail of his face, and after a few hours she is sitting on her bed staring at the boy from her dreams sadly. It looked exactly like him, not one detail was missing. For some reason looking at him made her sad, though it was just a dream she felt the need to see him again, it was like she missed him. Jesus she sounded like a mental patient, who the hell talks like this? She just needed to forget about it and get some rest, hopefully a good nap would take her mind off of Doctor Ashton Carter and the fact that she almost committed suicide only two days prior.

"wake up hoe you're gonna be late for you're appointment" the voice of none other than Brooklyn Sanderson calls out. Amelia shoots up and looks around realizing that she was once again in the random apartment this time with her two siblings standing in her room staring at her
"what the hell?" she says rubbing her face, this has to be a prank where was Ashton Kutcher when she needed him?
"get up you can't be late to see you're cute doctor boyfriend" Brooklyn says happily sitting on her bed
"he's not my boyfriend"
"oh sorry you went on a date, speaking of spill it"
"Brooke calm down she'll talk about it if she wants, just kidding tell us right now so we know what the room is gonna be like when we go in" Kaden says sitting backwards in her chair and looking up at her with a smirk
"well he came over and I hadn't taken my pills in a while so I had really bad memory loss so we went out to dinner and he spent the whole time explaining to me what was going on" she says
"what the hell? why aren't you taking your pills Amelia?" Kaden yells
"I don't know, I guess I've been really confused lately I don't know what the hell is going on"
"thats because you aren't taking your meds! Jesus how many times have we talked about this" he says running his hands through his hair
"a lot I guess" she mumbles
"if you don't start taking care of yourself Brooke and I are gonna have to move in, is that what you want?"
"no I really don't want that at all"
"then take your damn pills, you aren't a child" he says before walking out of the room angrily
"for the record I wouldn't mind living here" Brooke says taking Amelia by surprise, she couldn't remember the last time her younger sister had been nice to her, she smiles and walks to the bathroom to get ready for her appointment which she had no clue about.

"good- moring everybody how are my favorite gingers?" Ashton asks walking into the hospital room holding a clipboard. Amelia about dies when she sees him, it was like he was only confirming she was going crazy, he looked exactly like she remembered. He wore glasses and a white coat with a white dress shirt underneath it, and he looked amazing.
"good how are you?" Kaden asks
"great, now Amelia we have your blood tests back and everything looks good but we do have to discuss your medication"
"she hasn't been taking it" Brooke says and she turns and glares at her sister who shrugs her shoulders
"yes I am aware, now how are we gonna fix that?"
"I could start taking them from now on?" she says shrugging her shoulders
"yeah that would be great, but how are we gonna insure that you actually take them?"
"I'll come over in the morning before work and make sure she takes them" Kaden says
"Kaden you don't have to do that" she says sincerely
"you need to take your meds this isn't a game, besides its on the way to Brooke's school anyways" he says and she nods instantly feeling guilty that he has to take time out of his day to take care of her. She turns to see Brooke staring at them both angrily she mouths 'sorry' before turning her attention back to Ashton.
"ok that's perfect, next time I see you I expect better ok?" Ashton says looking at her seriously
"I'll take them I promise"
"good, now would you two excuse me I have to have a conversation with my patient" he says looking at her siblings, they nod and as they walk out Brooke's mouth drops and she mouths 'get it'
"what did you wanna talk to me about?" she asks once they exit the room, he sighs and takes a seat on the bed
"I get lots of patients who come in here and make empty promises, and you can't be one of them, Lupus is a very serious illness and doesn't give second chances. I need you to do better because I don't want to lose you" he says looking into her eyes
"you won't, Ashton when I make a promise I mean it ok I promise you that I'll take my medicine"
"good, look I have a patent waiting on me but I'd like to get together again if thats alright with you"
"I would love that, actually I was gonna watch the Seahawks game this Sunday if you'd like to join she says blushing
"to be honest love I am a Browns fan, I hate the Hawks but I would watch a full game just to be with you"
"aww" she responds feeling an overwhelming amount of joy in her chest at his words
"I'm on call until tomorrow night but after that can I text you?"
"yes"
"great, I'll do that then have a great day and take your pills" he says pointing at her one last time before walking out of the room
"what did he say spill it right now" Brooke says running into the room
"he said that I can't make him an empty promise because he doesn't want to lose me"
"oh my god Amelia he's literally in love with you"
"Jesus Brooke we had one date" she says
"ok but when you get married I'm gonna say I called it"

"wake up right now young lady!" the voice of her mother snaps causing her to open her eyes, ok now she was really confused. She was dreaming again? How is that even possible, to dream a sequel that is weirdly accurate and scarily realistic? She hated not understanding what the holy hell was going on, something weird had to be going on because from what she knew about dreams theres always something wrong, for example she would have an extra finger or whoever she was talking to would be way to short or too tall. Also dreams don't continue when you fall asleep, you don't pick up where you leave off from the previous night so all of this had to mean something else right? Theres no way it was real, maybe she was really going crazy.
"Amelia now!"
"ok mom" she says sitting up, she looks over to her bedside table and notices her journal sitting there, she grabs it and begins writing about what had just happened in her vivid dream, once she had every single detail down she draws a quick sketch of Ashton in his glasses and coat before getting up and getting ready for class.
