    Dalia could feel the sweat dripping down her back. She looked over at the clock and jumped out of bed when she saw that she should've been up thirty minutes ago. "Looks like I'm driving today."

    She silently said "thank goodness" when she managed to arrive to work on time. The process of testing how much she remembered from the night before went extremely well.

    To her amusement, Danny's test took quite a while. She was being paid by the hour so she really didn't mind. Dalia sat at a small table while most of the others mingled waiting to be tested. The confidence she had from yesterday was gone when Danny went and sat at the same same small table with her.

    "Listen Dalia, I'm sorry about what I did all those years ago but I've changed. It was hard for me to deal with the distance and I didn't know what to do. But you were right, I did do whatever it took for it to be less painful for me."

    Without a word she got up and went over to the coffee counter to make another cup of hot cocoa. Danny got up to follow but the intercom interrupted his plan.

    "Testing is now finished, the results for most were very well therefore we'll be able to start shooting in about two days and from there you'll continue with the schedule given to you yesterday. Thank you everyone and good luck."

    Danny took his eyes off the speaker and brought them back to Dalia who was mixing her drink up. He moved closer to her backing her into the corner. He could see her bravery from before was gone.

    "You used to love when I backed you against the wall." He said with a smirk.

    At that moment the stranger Dalia bumped into on her walk came in the building and looked around a bit before spotting her and she did not look amused to be in her current situation.

    He walked up to the guy and tapped him on his shoulder waiting for him to turn around but he never did. "Little busy right now." He said trying to shoo him away.

    "I need to talk to the lady you're hovering over right now" He replied not moving an inch. "Can't you wait?" The guy asked growing impatient. At that point he put his hand on the guy's shoulder to turn him around forcibly.

    After the guy saw his build (which was definitely tougher than his own) he agreed to leave.

    Dalia was speechless and staring at the stranger wondering why he was here. Thinking -this CANNOT be another coincidence, there is no way he works here.- "Dalia?" He asked. She nodded wondering what was up this time.

    "I accidentally grabbed your wallet when we bumped into each other the other day. I went by your house but nobody was there and I saw a business card for this place." He started pulling out her tiny red wallet with shimmering jewels across the front.

    "Oh my gosh, I didn't even realize it was missing. Thank you so much. Can I get you a coffee sometime?" She replied thankful that he was returning it instead of keeping it. She took the wallet and looked up at him waiting for an answer.

    "I thought......I mean you don't look like the coffee drinking type."

    "How'd you guess? Well you're right I'm not but if I can get you something I'd be satisfied." He looked at her and his expression for a brief moment was happy but she saw that same worry to anger as before when he answered.

    "No all I did was just return the wallet. For all you know I could've stolen it on purpose or taken something out of it." He didn't wait for her to say anything else and spun around leaving her in confusion yet again.

    -Maybe he's bipolar.- She laughed at the thought but checked her wallet after thinking about his last words. Everything was still there and she didn't use credit or debit cards so that wouldn't have been a problem.

    -I know he's just a stranger but if I see him again ill try to pay him back somehow. Oh, what if he's married. I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem, its not like I'm after him. Besides, who knows if I'll ever even see him again.- She chuckled and walked out to her car. She opened the door to her little red car but before she got in her head pounded.

    She felt dizzy and the world seemed to be spinning and before she knew it she was back in that spinning forest. Only, now it was slowing down but the gloomy sight had stayed the same.

    Dalia noticed a path and started to follow it, the further she walked the more it felt like she was going to a different place and time. Her body started to disappear but her presence stayed. She watched as she saw herself just like in the last dream.

    Dalia followed herself into an unfamiliar house. The other her sat on the couch next to the boy from her last dream. His face was still blurry but she could tell from his figure that it was him.

    That girl was laughing with the corners of her lips unable to go any higher. She couldn't remember the last time she'd laughed like that. The boy fed her strawberries while something was playing on tv. They were talking but Dalia couldn't decipher they words, as if they were speaking another language entirely.

    All of a sudden she felt lighter. It was like a heavy weight had just been lifted off her shoulders, a weight she didn't want gone. She started floating. Through the roof she went leaving behind that cheerful girl. "No! Stop! Stop!" She screamed. Something about being in this fake world brought comfort she couldn't get anywhere else. She didn't stop protesting the invisible force till her eyes opened to see the black and gray spotted hospital ceiling.
