Dream Weaver Alternate Ending
"You're here." I whisper, letting a tear fall.
"Of course I'm here. When a dream weaver tries to plant me in your head, I might as well come for real." Justin jokes, lightly pushing me off of him to get a good look at me. He wipes away my tear before smiling widely. "Look at my baby sister, all grown up and big and strong. You've been drinking your milk haven't you?"
I hit him in the arm before laughing. "So this is kind of real? In my dreams, yes, but this is really you?" I ask, my heart warming with the idea.
"I promised mom and dad I'd always look after you. Just because I'm not right by your side doesn't mean I'm going to break that promise." Justin tells me, and turns back to the pancakes. We've let them sit for a good five minutes …show more content…
"Why are you here? Honestly." I inquire, matching his pace as we slowly walk. He sighs and shakes his head.
"I miss you." He confesses. "I've been wanting to pop up in your dreams for awhile now, but for some reason they've been shut off to me. That time I visited you on the rooftop was not enough. By the way, sorry to ruin your first date with that Peter guy."
"Pietro." I correct with a laugh. "Honestly, I think you helped it. You know how I am with building walls and such."
"Oh yes, ever the handy man. Or woman, I should say."
We both laugh, holding our stomachs as if we could laugh forever. "I missed you too, Justin." I tell him, wrapping my arm around his waist as his arm goes around my shoulder. "We have to have these talks more often. They might keep me sane."
"You have your friends to do that." Justin says, nodding to the sky. Suddenly, a memory of Pietro and I training together pops up. That day, I was trying to master turning water into a gelatin substance, and I was failing miserably. We both found humor in the situation. "Which brings me to my last question."
"Last question?"
"You gotta wake up sometime, Ri." He shrugs before stopping in front of our barn. "Do you really love …show more content…
I love you!" He yells when he's far away. The light grows bright for a minute, but I can make out his face as he smiles.

"Riley, wake up." I roll over to see Pietro, who is wiping fresh tears from my face. "What's wrong?"
"I saw Justin, Pietro." I tell him, and a grin breaks out on my face. "I talked to my brother."
"But that is not possible, Роза." Pietro furrows his brows, causing me to laugh. "What is so funny?"
"I think Gabriel tried to make me see him, and then Justin actually visited me. It was really him." I explain, still smiling. Soon, Pietro is smiling with means intertwining our hands.
"This is the first time in a long time I have seen you smile, love." Pietro murmurs, kissing me softly. "I love your smile."
"I am so sorry about yesterday, Pietro. I don't know what happened but-"
"Riley. Stop." Pietro places his finger over my lips, and kisses my forehead. "I want you. I want your ambition, your laugh, your compassion, your love, your smile, and your grace. If that means we have to tackle some bad days together, then so be it. I love you, Riley Jensen.
