Nick, you scared me.

      – Sorry, how was your day?

      – Fine, I didn’t get much sleep, but it was great…

      – Let’s go out tonight, get some rest, Jess.

      – Oh, that’s okay, thanks, Nick.

      – I’ll introduce you to the guys and, uh… My girlfriend.

      – Nick“-„Jessie grinned at the guy“-„you sure know how to turn a girl on.

      – That’s what you think of me-«Nick grabbed Jessie’s cheek and they laughed out loud.

      – Sit down, let’s go now, I’m not going in the house… I don’t look too bad.

      – You’re always beautiful…

      At that moment the guys heard the screeching of tires, when they looked up they saw a bus hit a young guy, Jessie’s eyes widened in horror, Nick jumped up and ran in the direction of the accident.

      – Nick!

      – Don’t go Jess-«Nick ran up and leaned over the guy who was hit by the bus a minute ago, he was dead.

      – He’s dead Nick? – «Jessie stood behind Nick and covered her mouth with her hand.»

      – Yeah…

      Jessie realized that this was the guy she saw in her dream tonight, how could it be, how could she have dreamt it! The girl was in indescribable shock.

      Getting into Nick’s car, Jessie kept thinking about what had happened about her dream.

      – Nick, I don’t think I’m going to the cafe tonight, I’m sorry, take me home.

      – Are you all right Jess? – «Nick asked worriedly.»

      – I’m fine, I just need to get some sleep.

      Jessie thought about her dream, she couldn’t believe what she was dreaming, what really happened was so strange.

      Of course it scared her to think that she was having a real dream and the worst part was that she wished she could have helped this guy who had thrown himself under the bus.

      The third night in the apartment and Jessie was already frankly afraid to go to sleep, she understood that dreams, they were just dreams, but there was no way she could explain what had happened before.

      Jess fell asleep late, herself falling into the realm of Morpheus without noticing.

      Jessie heard the living room balcony door open again with all its might, she got up to look, went out into the living room, walked to the balcony door, wanting to close it, but suddenly she saw a woman burning in the window across the street, screaming in pain…

      Jessie jumped out of bed, realizing she had seen someone die again, she was scared, afraid it might happen again, the dream would be a dream. Jessie went out on the balcony and looked at the house across the street, the same window from her dream.

      Jess didn’t understand why she was the one having these dreams, there was something about this apartment, why this was where she started having these dreams that were also coming true.

      – Nick, hi,» the girl called Nick.

      – Hello. Jess, it’s okay, you sound worried.

      – I don’t sleep well here. … I’ll see you around.

      – Yeah sure, come over to the cafe near the university where the river is, we’ll have coffee.

      Jessie and Nick were sitting at a cafe table from the window of the cafe the river was visible and the girl, remembered the first dream, how Nick pushed her into that river.

      – Jess, are you okay?!

      – Nick, I’ve been having some horrible dreams… You know, this apartment… I’ve had fewer dreams before and not as bad.

      – Look, you’re just tired, the change of residence and all, you had such a stitch yesterday… Of course you’ll sleep badly…
