Chapter 9-reuunited
Shortly after the sharp prick, I felt as though I had an outer-body experience because I saw my body there, and Emmett still sobbing. When I rose up towards the sky, I stopped halfway to look at the scenery. It was beautiful. Although I only saw a quick glance, it was magical. Then I shot up to the clouds. A bright light surrounded and blinded me, then it mysteriously vanished into some solid gold gates. The gates were 100foot high, minimum. They were dazzling. A man appeared in a beard and white robes, it looked like god. (Well, it looked like how I would imagine God) he told me that if I accepted my actions and are truly sorry, then I may enter. Waiting eagerly at the other side of the gate was my family. They were smiling at me and it was the most magical sight that I had ever seen.
"Dad, come here, we have missed you. You will love this place, all you have to do if you want something is to think of it and it will appear right in front of you!" Reneesme had said enthusiastically.
I thought about that night for one last time; this time more deeply than I ever had before. Because of this, it gave me much more pain than I thought was imaginable.
"You may pass young one, for you have dealt with a few things…go and being reunited with your family." God had said in a peaceful and grateful voice.
" All I ask is that you never do anything like this again…promise?"
"Sure, I feel much happier now so there is no need for me to do anything like that again. God thank you for not sending me to hell." I said truthfully.
"Ha, there is no such thing as heaven and hell, just heaven. That is just a myth that some people who had near death experiences started!
"Oh. Well thank you anyway" I said with a burst of relief for some peculiar reason.
A distant voice shouted "my son, I am so sorry for what I had said, and keeping me dying a secret from you. I am the reason you went crazy." My mother shouted with some regret.
"No you are not, I was the one who went off the rails, and anyway can we please forget about this and move on…we have our whole lives ahead." I said honestly.
We all started laughing at the ironic statement I had said.
Somehow I wondered what exactly I had left behind. Emmett. How was he going to cope without his only friend? He probably thought that I was not a good friend to him and that I treat him horribly but I knew I hadn't.
