Chapter 39 Confused

Emma POV

What the hell was going on? Was I really awake? Was this really happening?

This couldn’t be real, right?

I was imagining it.

Yes. I was still dreaming or I was dead and my mind created this world where I was safe with my brother. Because it didn’t make any sense for all of this to be true. Why would my brother believe me all of a sudden? Why would Logan accept me now? It wasn’t like I had gotten any stronger. On the contrary, actually. I was even weaker now.

sitting down on the chair next to my bed. “You looked like you were going to pass out when I walked inside.”

Could I tell him? Could I ask him about my parents? If I imagined him and created this place in my mind, he would be able to help me, right? I was staring at him, nibbling on my bottom lip, trying to decide if I should say something. Would he think that I was crazy?
