Everything then went black I couldn't see. "Max?" I shout in the darkness. No reply. "Max where are you?" I shouted again.
"Charlotte?" I could hear Max call.
"Max where are you?" I said again.
"Charlotte are you there?" Max called again.
"Max yes I'm here where are you?"
"Charlotte can you hear me?"
"MAX!" I shouted louder. No reply. Max's voice was gone and I think he was too. Then I heard this noise. It sounded like a dragon roaring. Was it Max??? Then the roaring stopped!
What?
I started to loose hope of finding Max. I just wanted this to be all over so I whispered into the darkness,"Max please come find me soon I love you..." I then stopped myself and cried. I hugged my legs placing my head on them. When I feel a hand touch my shoulder out of comfort probably. Then someone lit a candle because the light flickered in my face. I looked up wiping my tears and saw Max. I jumped to my feet and hugged him squeezing him so tight.
"Careful I don't want the candle to go out!" He laughs. This doesn't make me let go no infact I squeezed him even tighter. "Come on follow me we have to get out of here quick and before you ask why I will explain in the car!" He said. I stopped hugging him and grabbed his hand. He pulled me out the room and the whole building was out of power.
Why?
When we got out of the building it was sunrise outside. "Max what day is it?" I asked. He didn't answer he just rushed me into the car and before I knew it we were driving away from the company. I looked back as we got further and further away.
"Happy birthday by the way and I'm sure your pretty confused" Max said staring at the road like a hawk. I mean he wasn't wrong I was pretty confused but like the most he could do was explain.
"Your right I'm confused I mean I still thought it was yesterday until we left the building!" I said. I then see him looking in his rear mirrors and shifting them. "Max?"
"Charlotte your mum knows your alive and she has hired my cousin to come and kill you because I couldn't finish the job. And yes I know it is confusing that a whole night has been but to be honest you have been in the dark for a couple of hours now" he said to me. "Can you please look back continously and tell me if anyone is following us?"
"Yes. Oh and did you hear me whispering?" I asked. I was a little scared asking because if he had then I had just told the quiet boy in class that a week ago I didn't even know because he was so quiet that I loved him!
"Yes Charlotte I did" he grins. I looked at him with his cheeks rose red and a grin so big you would think he had an orange in his mouth. I ignored it and looked back like he told me and I saw a car going at high speed after us.
"Uh Max!" I panick.
"What? What's going on?" He said in a panick. We were both panicking and I saw him shifting his rear mirror again. "I cant see what's going on?"
"There's a purple car after us going at a very high speed!"
"Oh no! Alright Charlotte we are going to a airport and we are going to get on a plane!" Max said to me.
"Where to?" I asked.
"I will tell you when we get there!" He said. His voice seemed a bit stressed and panicked. I wanted to give him a big hug but I didn't want to interfere with his driving and stress him more. I didn't like seeing him like this at all. "This is going to be hard because when my cousin has a job to do she will do anything to complete it!" He said. I looked at him and saw a tear run down his face before he wiped it away. Why was he sad?
"Hey Max what's wrong?" I asked.
"I love you and if she gets to you then she is going to kill the girl I love and I don't think I can handle that!" He said. I looked back and the purple car was gone.
"Uhhh Max?" I panicked. Where had the car gone.
"Turn around and hold on!" He said. He pushed his foot harder on the accelerate and I felt my heart race. We were going so fast I was scared we were going to crash. Then he started to push the breaks as we came upon a airport. We rushed out the car and ran inside. "Hey can we get two tickets to Australia please?" He said to the man at reception. Max paid for the tickets and we sat at the waiting area awaiting our plane to come.
On the plane we sat down our seat where next to eachother and by the wing. I sat next to the window while Max sat in the middle. "Why Australia?" I asked.
"Because no one that works at the company can go to Australia" he said. This only confused me because we worked at the company. Didn't we?
"But we work there?"
"As soon as you go to another country then you are fired and the job you had to do is removed" he said. This made a little sense why we were leaving the country but not much sense on why Australia?
"So why Australia and not somewhere else?" I asked.
"I like Australia its nice and hot over there" he laughed. I'm not going to lie but it sounded like he only chose Australia because he wanted to go on holiday there. Then our plane started moving and before we knew it we were in the air. This was not a great start to my birthday but atleast I had Max right? Then Max leans closer to me,"count this as a birthday present" he whispered in my ear. I smiled and I could see his cheeky grin in the corner of my eye. I looked out the window. I started to get tired as the sky turned dark we had been on the plane for hours. I decided to rest my eyes and soon enough I was asleep leaning on Max's shoulder.
Charlotte's dream:
I was wearing the prettiest dress long and white. My hair was nice and curly. It was my wedding day and everyone I cared about was around me. Owen was my maid of honour. Brad was wearing a fancy suit. "Ok Charlotte it's time to walk down the Isle!" Owen said to me. I then saw her walk around the corner and walk down the Isle. Brad offered me a arm and took me round the corner to walk down the Isle. The man I was about to marry was at the end and he was facing the vicar. The Isle was White and covered in red roses. Everyone was staring at me watching me walk down the Isle. And then he turned around. The man I was about to marry turned around. It was Max! Brad handed me to Max and he took my hands. We stood infront of the vicar and got married.
At the party everyone was enjoying themselves and congratulating us about being married. I sat next to Max at our wedding table and then he leaned in next to me and whispered,"married in Australia not bad!" I laughed and we kissed. My freinds came over to me and spoke to me.
"You have only been in Australia a week and your already marrying this guy, girl you must be nuts!" Owen said.
"I know I'm so happy for you but at the same time concerned I mean you did nearly get killed by this guy?" Brad said.
"It's fine I love him and he loves me and we both wanted to seal the deal ASAP!" I laughed.
"Your not pregnant are you?" Brad and Owen asked in perfect unison. I nodded no and smiled. I went back to Max and we both shared a glance as our eyes met...
I woke up confused about the dream. What did it mean?
