Sweet Caramel

Date: 8/3/2021

It started off at a place that had a lot of computers. Kinda like a school lab. It was also lit like a school. The lighting had a green tint to it. At the beginning I was there with a couple of friends I'm not exactly sure which ones yet. We were all individually watching a soccer game. Then I noticed Caramel was there with her friend. The match that we were watching turned into a FIFA game that we began playing. I don't even remember the transition but we were also now in my home. This time I specifically remember B, Kalimba, Caramel, and her friend all chilling in my living room. I think we were still playing FIFA. During this time and before, I was trying to ignore Caramel. There wasn't any reason but it wasn't hard either as she didn't interact with me at all despite being there together for what felt like hours. I knew it was getting late but I couldn't check the time. No phone, no watch. I noticed the moon out the window was bright. I could only see partially because the blinds were in the way. Looking closer I noticed that it had a glare almost like the moon itself was just a reflection on the window. So I looked where the light was coming from, which is inside my home. All of a sudden my living room had no roof it was open sky clouds and a brightly lit full moon. The clouds slowly parted and the already bright moon became even brighter. It was actually quite heavenly. The moon lit the room that was already well lit but it was undescribable. I kind of got lost in it but no one else was noticing that the roof disappeared. Even I didn't notice. I was more fixated on the moon. But everyone carried on like nothing happened at all. Everyone but Caramel. When I looked behind me, she was standing staring right into the moonlight. I really remember her just simply standing there not doing anything not saying anything. The bright moonlight shining on her. It was so beautiful. Her hair dark as the night sky. Her skin pale like the moon itself. The moon was beautiful. I was looking back and forth between Caramel's glowing aura and the nightly heaven. I looked back at Caramel one more time and she has eye/sleep mask on. So now I was really curious wtf was going on. She stood there in light speechless but now with a sleep mask on. I had to say something. I realized I had no recollection of us talking that whole night. We haven't spoke at all but I was about to for the first time. It went something like this. "Hey Caramel" which was met with silence. I paused to think about how her name sounded on my tongue. Up until now it was always in my head. I tried again "Caramel, are you okay?". She slowly walked all the way behind me and then crashed at the couch. A little bit concerned, I so slowly went up to where she was lying on the couch and asked her for the final time, "Hey is everything alright?". Then she covers her face without a word. I guess she didn't want me near. At least that's what was communicated to me, granted I didn't have much to work with, so I left her alone. B calls me over and says it's my turn then hands me it a pair of drumsticks. They were both chipped horribly. B tells me it's my turn again and I have to go up I guess we were playing some kind of guitar hero crap. I couldn't find the drum set. So I start looking for it. Oddly enough I searched the couch or Caramel was lying but she wasn't there either. Later that night, it was getting pretty late I assumed it was past 3:00 a.m., B gets a call. Then I thought occurred to me in the dream of a memory that I don't have in waking. At the time I didn't know I was dreaming I just know I recalled the experience of a time where we all chilled super super late. I asked Kalimba about it and he told me he remembered it too.
