Vic drove me back to his house and we were both completely silent all the way there.

I was such a disappointment. I broke my promise to Vic and I could tell he was extremely hurt.

"Vic.. I'm sorry.. I don't know what happened, something came over me. I don't know why I did that Vic.. I had another dream." I mumbled.

"Another nightmare." he corrected.

"Uh, yeah.. um.. let me show you something." I said, going to my bag and pulling out my journal. I flipped to my drawing and held it up to him.

"I dreamed this.. I dreamed this was me. I drew this before I dreamed it.."

"And this is supposed to be you?" he asked. I nodded and he grabbed my journal, turning to a blank page.

"Give me a pencil please." I nodded and went into my bag, grabbing a pencil. I handed it to him and he began sketching.

We sat there for a few minutes as he sketched something, and I would occasionally try to peek at it, but he'd just turn it from me. He finished up the sketch and handed my journal back to me. It was me. Happy me. I looked healthy. I was glowing. At the bottom he wrote, 'I'm going to save you.'

I looked up at him and set my journal down. I took a step closer to him and pulled his face to mine, giving him a slow, passionate kiss. I pulled away and pulled him into a hug. He rubbed my back as we hugged and I pulled away from him, giving him another quick peck on the lips. We walked outside and we sat there for awhile, just talking.

"I'm contagious, Vic. I don't want you to go down with me.." I mumbled.

"As long as we head there together, I'm fine." he smiled.

"I won't let anyone hurt you. Just promise me you won't be the one to hurt yourself again. Please." he mumbled.

"Okay, Vic. I promise. And this time I'll keep it."

Tony and I are back to talking, not exactly best friends like we were, but we have been talking things out. He told everyone the truth about what happened, but things haven't really changed. Today is Friday and I'm going to Mike and Vic's house to watch the boys practice a new song Vic has been working on.

I walked down the stairs to see Mike, Vic, Tony and Jaime all setting up their equipment. Mike walked over to the computer and hit something, then returned to his drums. Vic strapped his guitar over his shoulder and walked over to me. He handed me his lyric book and flipped it open to a page with writing on it. The page was titled: I don't care if you're contagious.

My heart skipped a beat when I read the title. Vic returned back to his microphone stand and nodded, signaling for the boys to start.

Bury me in the bedroom where I,
I can sing you to sleep all night.
Put me next to the open window,
promise me a second time.

'Cause I don't want to leave without you buried by my side.
I'd rather kill the one responsible for falling stars at night,
'cause they fall all around me.
The night can be deadly.

And they'll never take us alive.
To live in love and die.
Last night she recited every reason she's fine.
So if we're heading there together at the same time,
you sing while I drive.

My thoughts went back to a couple of nights ago. I remembered everything from that night..

Move like a fugitive tonight.
Dance on the ambulance,
'cause I would rather spend my life
vacations in bed with you like drunken summer kites.
And this is only a test,
sober and scaring me to death.

They'll never take us alive.
To live in love and die.

And I don't care if you're sick,
I don't care if you're contagious.
I would kiss you even if you were dead.

My heart was beating so fast that I thought it was going to fly out of my chest.

Would somebody make me go blind for the rest of my life?
'Cause I'd do anything to hold your hand.
And I don't care if you're sick,
I don't care if you're contagious.
Oh, no.
Would somebody make me go blind for the rest of my life?
'Cause I'd do anything, anything, anything.

They'll never take us alive,
'cause I'll chase away the darkness.
I'll live in love and die.
I joined the party for the recently blind.
So if we're heading there together you can sing all night.

I'm gonna tear out the thread one by one from your skin
'till your bones feel embarrassed by all the attention.
Kiss me while I drive.

I walked up to Vic and gave him a kiss.

"You saved me."
