Ok this is answering some of your questions you sent me.
Tess knows Alexandra through Chad and Taylor. She's their daughter. Chelsea and Meghan know Tess through their parents. Both Chelsea and Meghan's parents know Troy and Gabi from high school. Thus, their kids are friends.
Chapters 1 through 17 are the dream aspect of the story. Everything after that is Tess' real life.
When Tess dreamed, she used the people closes to her in her dream. That included friends and family. In her dream, Tess dreamt that she met Chelsea and Meghan in Illinois when in reality she knew them from the time she was a baby with Troy and Gabi as her parents.
Any other questions can be directed to me. I will try to explain anything else that arises in questions!
Everyone has been asking about a sequel, and the answer is I don't know. I purposely left the end like that so I could pick up and do a sequel. If you have ideas for a sequel, then I would love to hear them!
Thank you to everyone who has read, reviewed, and given me ideas for this story. They are very much appreciated and it gives me the courage to continue writing!!!
