Hey everyone! I hop you liked the last chapter. I am going to write in chloe's point of view. so, tell me if you want it in anybody else's point of view. Also, the new characters added around chapter 7, were my real friends. ALL new characters represent my friends. So, you kind of have a small snip of my life.
Chloe's Point of View
I run to my room and start sobbing. Not looking anywhere else except for the bed. I was wrong, my vision showed me the past not the future. I couldn't have prevented it either way. Somehow, I feel as though I'm still guilty. If I had my vision earlier, if I looked closely at the time on the phone, if I could've done something.
Don't. What? what was that voice.
It's me. Don't blame yourself, you don't deserve to do this to yourself. The voice says. I listen even more closely. All of my concentration on the voice. It sounded familiar. Actually, it was more of a roar than a voice. Almost like a growl. I could recognize that anywhere. That voice was Derek's. I shake my head. There is no way that Derek found out about my Aunt. I shake my head. Giving everything in my mind a mental shove. The voice stopped talking. I must be going crazy. I look at the clock it's midnight and Liz was sleeping. I guess that the other girls went to their rooms. Probably tired of waiting. I garb my shoes and head out th door, out of the corridor, and to the outdoor track next to the gym. It's time for a midnight run.
The next morning, I already had my teeth brushed and my face washed. In the mirror, I practice smiling. Last year, when my mom died, I was sent to lots of therapists because I don't go to sleep, or I would sleep for only a few hours. At first, they thought I had insomnia. I let them say that for a while. I didn't want anyone knowing that I was playing a game of 'what if-' . Then, as the months past by, I started to sleep more. Now, I feel like I'm going to go through the same thing. Behind me, I hear Liz starting to wake up. Meaning I had to put on my happy face. I see her from th emirror.
" Mornin' " She says.
" Good morning." I say back. It was a saturday, and we had monday off this week. Meaning, I don't need to think up an excuse of not coming to class.
" Today's your first psychic coach day, or whatever. It should be fun. Derek can't hear your thoughts anymore. Or, he's not going to anymore."
I must've looked surprise because she quickly says that Derek can hear thoughts. I shrug, syaing that it makes esne. She just laughs. I would've laughed too, but I can't bring myself to.
" are you okay?" She asks.
" You know what this calls for? I'm bringing breakfast in this room. No need to eat in the cafeteria today.'' she says. I guess I can count on Liz to always trying to make me feel better. She soon nods, and starts to rush to the cafe.
Five minutes later, she's back with bagels and coffe and jam, and breakfast fit for a queen.
" I wasn't sure of what you would've liked, so I brought a little bit of everything." She says. " Dig in"
I just grab a blueberry and start nibbling at it. I then start to pile on food, so that it looks like I ate. Liz eyes me warily. I think she noticed, but she doesn't say anything about it. For that, I'm grateful.
After 'breakfast', I go for a jog outside. I put my headphones in and start to jog a far way. Not knowing exactly where I'm going. I just need to get far away from the I think that I've gone far enough, I pull out my phone. I try to call my pucks up after the second ring.
" Hey, kiddo. Did they tell you?"
I start to nod, but soon realize that it's a phone call, I think of saying something. " Yeah." brilliant.
" Do you want to say goodbye?"
" Yeah, I don't think that she can hear me either way, but it would be nice to know that she could maybe hear me. DO you think that she'll see mom? " I say. I then bite my tongue. I wasn;t supposed to go that far. He sighs.
" I hope so kiddo, I really do. Here, the phone is on speaker, you can start talking."
" Okay." I then hear a series of footsteps, and then a door open then close.
" Okay, you can start talking."
I stay quiet for a little bit. Then, finally mustering up my courage, I start talking.
" Hey Auntie, It's Chloe. I don't know if you can hear me, but, I... I want you to know that I miss you... I wish that you were hear today, standing next to me. The view is amazing. I'm near a mountain or cliff, you know how I am with geography, always messing it up. I, uh, I want you to know that I, I love you. " I say. My dad tries to say something, but I shut my phone. Not wanting to hear what he was going to say. Sooner or later, he's just going to start drinking and try to find a solution to the problem. Hint, the problem is me.
I look at the ledge of the cliff. I start walking towards it. Then, I get myself ready to jump.
1, 2... 3...
Left you at a cliff hanger. Muhhahahaha. Don't hat em though. That'll leave you guessing. Have fun trying to sleep now. LOL ;)
xox, Mermear
