One more night of sitting in isolation to add to the list. I've waited for weeks now just to hear the soft purring from Rob's Indian and what do I get a big fat nothing! I mean don't get me wrong, it's good to have space between us and all, but he's my boyfriend! Shouldn't we atleast see each other once in two weeks? That's right, i've waited two weeks just for him. I know he has a job and has to take care of his new business, but can't he put in a little bit of time for his girlfriend? As I was sitting on my window ledge pondering all these thoughts, I heard it. The mild and almost whispered purr of the jet black Indian that i've been so eager to hear. Followed by the sound of tiny little rocks hitting my window.
At first I thought I was dreaming and nearly fell asleep thinking so, but then I heard his tough but gentle voice whispering my name and I knew that I wasn't dreaming anymore.
"Jess! Jess I know your not sleeping," Rob called out to me after parking his cherried-out Indian on the far end of the road.
"What! You do realize I have things to do tomorrow and that I do need sleep," I said with a little bit of over-used anger and grumpiness.
"Jess, I'm sorry for not coming around for so long and I-". I cut him off there.
"That's right. You should be sorry! I am after all your girlfriend and I do believe that guys shouldn't treat their girlfriends like dirt!" He gave me a sad and grim look.
"I don't treat you like dirt. I've been planning something for you but obviously you don't want it now." He knew that I wanted to knwo what it is now. That's why he said it in the first place. He wanted me to come down so that he could show me something that i'm sure I couldn't live without no matter how much I tried. "Please come down. I miss you." He made a show of looking like a sad little puppy dog that I couldn't refuse.
"Fine, I'll be down in five minutes." I threw on a pair of jeans and a black Muse T-Shirt, then ran down the stairs, but stopped at the last step to make sure that no one saw me coming down the stairs. I was safe.
As soon as I got on to the porch, Rob envoloped me with a hug. I returned the hug with cautiousness. He's never done that before...I'm usually the one who has to break the thin layer of ice between us. Hmmm. Talk about being strange.
"Jess, this is going to take longer than five minutes. Will you come with me?," Rob said with a hint of panic for if I said no.
I smiled," Okay... Not like I actually have to do anything tomorrow..."
He smiled right back and told me to get on the motorcycle. Excitment ran through as I remembered the hours we sat on this thing riding from here to Chick's Biker Bar. and to find all those missing kids. My brain quite functioning there. I was scared. I hadn't felt scared for weeks since my 'visions' had stopped. But the only reason I hadn't found anyone was because I wasn't allowed to look at anythng that had a missing person on it. Rob caught me just as I was about to fall off of the motorcycle.
"Whats wrong Jess?," He said with more panic than before. I hated it when he was scared for me. I don't need someone to be scared for me I've said to him all the time. But all he ever did was smile and say I'll always be scared for you because I don't ever want something bad to happen to you. I smiled at remembering this. Then realized that I was still half unconcious and woke myself up.
"Oh!," I said with surprise. Where were we? I've never been here before and...was that a boat? Was he attmepting to get me on that? It looked like I could fall thorugh it at anytime. Suddenly the air felt like ice against my skin, as I remembered the boat that I spent a year on dring that war. I shuddered.
"Come on Jess! Don't scare me like this." I woke up to see his smokey gray-blue eyes looking scared. I won't. I won't ever scare you again I said. Well i think did...
"Rob...Is that a boat?," I asked, panic taking over my voice this time. He laughed at my reaction and said one simple word
"Yes."
