I've been convicted of a felony? What did I do? I don't think prison life is the life for me, why can't I spend my time elsewhere? At least before my real time starts?

"Hey Vic, good news, you get to go on a vacation for your first year before coming back!"-  Matt looked really happy, he was almost too happy after just watching me get convicted of a crime.

"Really?! Where to?" Man I hope it's New York! I would love to go there!

"You're gonna freak!" Matt started setting himself up for the reveal, "New York!!"

"Oh my god! Yes, I've always wanted to go there!"

Arriving in New York I had so many questions, like what felony I committed, why I was allowed to visit the very place I've always wanted to visit, and why I didn't have some sort of a parole officer.

Instead of a hotel, we had a very dec-ed out warehouse. It looked super awesome, I wasn't complaining. Matt and I started making plans for what to do first. A concert? Maybe a play or musical? Something that would give us the whole New York experience.

A knock on the door paused my thoughts.

"Jenn?" What was she doing here? With her being Matt's ex, I couldn't help feeling creeped out. And surprised, she looked almost completely different. Black hair, piercings, the only thing that didn't change was her hair style, still the same before, rocker-scene central as usual, fringe everywhere. She was dressed like one of those rocker chicks from the movies that work at record stores.

She looked at me, and then past me. When she saw Matt, she looked back at me and said, "hey, I'm gonna be your tour guide around New York for the first week. Since you will be living here for a year, after that first week you won't need me. But you know, that doesn't mean you won't see me..." She looked at Matt again.

"Hey Vic whose at the door?" He came over and when he saw her, he just stared. It had been a while since Matt had a girlfriend, and for some reason Jenn was having a weird affect on him. He and I always joked about how much she liked him and how he would never get back with her, but hey, maybe she was better now, there's no reason why they couldn't try again right?

We walked around for a while with Jenn later and as we were walking into a store, I bumped into a friend of mine. Erin, my old friend from California that recently moved away for college. I was about to say Hi when she beat me to it, saying very harsh words. She was just being a bitch. 

Remembering Less.

I turned to go in the store after cussing out Erin, Matt and Jenn were gone. That doesn't make sense, Matt would never do that to me.

Remembering Even Less.

I decide to go look for Matt after hanging out in the warehouse for a while. How did I find my way back?

As I leave through the gate I see Matt and Jenn walking together towards the warehouse, I call out to him, he hears me, acknowledges me, and then nothing.

I wake up.
