6 days left.

I haven't been myself for the past few days, I had so much on my mind about the whole thing that is going on with be proposing. I didn't want to think about it, I was to scared too. I sigh and I look outside and see Dream starting to walk over and I start to climb down. Once I get down I look up at Dream and try not to cry.

"Hi, my love." He says while pulling me into a hug.

"Hi," My voice was shaky.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I nod my head and he pulls away a bit so he can face me. "What's on your mind love?"

"My mom said I have a week to propose to Willow, I don't want too."

"I know, but are you scared to propose?"

"No, I'm scared if I don't."

"Well, I know you don't want her, but I'm willing to help you propose, for your sake."

"You won't get mad?"

"Of course not, you've told me millions that you don't want her. Plus would I be mad if I'm willing to help you?" I bite the inside of my cheek.

5 days left.

Dream starts to tell me ideas of the proposal, many ideas, but many that weren't good.

"What about a walk into the forest at sunset, the lighting is beautiful and you both are walking down. You bring her to a cliff side to watch the sunset, you talk about how she's changed you for the better, and then you get down on one knee and ask her hand in marriage."

He smiles and looks down. I look at him and lift his chin up. I give him a kiss and I melt into his arms and close my eyes.

"I feel guilty for what I'm doing to Willow, she's a sweet girl."

"It's not your fault, your mother is the one in control." He says running his fingers through my hair.

"She always is."

"I know, I know. You don't need to remind me."

"What's your plan?" I look up at him.

"Plan?" He says confused.

"For when the wedding is going to happen?" He looked shocked in a way, then breaks the eye contact.

"I don't know,"

I close my eyes and sink into his chest and I feel his head rest on mine.

"We should probably head to bed soon," I yawned.

"We should," Dream takes a breath and he gets me up with him. Dream takes off his jacket and just leaves him with just a loose white button up shirt. He lays onto my bed and has an arm behind his head and starts to dose off. I lay next to him and rest my head onto his chest, I hear his heart beat and his breathing.

"My love," He says in almost a whisper.

"Yes?"

"You shouldn't worry so much about the future, trust me. We will figure it out." I start to play with one of the buttons on his shirt. His arm rests onto my back and my eyes start to get heavy, I close my eyes and go to bed.

4 days left.

I wake up to an empty bed with just me in it. I miss the touch of Dream, I really do. I stand up and stretch before getting out of bed, I look over and see a letter. I open it and it was from Dream.

My love,

I'm sorry that I wasn't able to wake up with you but I didn't want you to get in trouble love. The next time, I'll wake up with you.

Sincerely, Dream.

I scrunched my nose.

I got ready and went downstairs, my mother looked unhappy about something. I didn't want to ask what was wrong, because I know it'll end up being my fault I put her into a bad mood. I don't say anything and I see that she keeps looking at me in the corner of her eye.

"Anything wrong, mother?"

"No, no. It's just the time is ticking down."

"I promise I have a plan."

"Well, I have you to plan to spend some time together today."

"Great," I sigh.

Willow came over shortly later.

I take her a walk down a trail near the castle, we walked in silence for a bit before I started to conversation.

"How have you been since I last seen you?"

"I've been okay, just a boring life when I have nothing to do."

"Nothing to do?"

"Yeah, that's why I like to spend time with you; I get to have some fun with you and I get time away from my family."

"That seems nice,"

"It is, before the ball I was forced to do a lot of stuff like stay in my room with nothing or I had to get lessons on how to be a woman."

"That sounds terrible."

"It was," She sighs then puts on a smile. "That's why I'm glad to be with you right now."

I feel a gut in my stomach start to build.

I don't know what to do.
