Chapter 10

Unexpected visitor

I was in that same battlefield but this time it looked worse. I was covered with bad scars and blood across my scratches. For some reason, I kept having dizzy spells. Was I hurt somewhere else? I really could care less right now. I just wanted to get out of this hellish hole. I started on a fast walk. I wanted my legs to move faster but my right leg felt like it was burning. I stopped and looked at it. It was in an angle that didn't look too healthy. It didn't matter now. I kept walking until I got a bad dizzy spell and fell to the ground, face front. Why was I always getting injured?

I simply just lay there, stomach to the ground, ready to slip into unconsciousness when I heard someone call my name.

"Jules! Jules, where are you?! Jules!"

That voice sounded familiar... Jeremy? What was my older brother doing in a place like this? I tried getting up slowly but for some inexplicable reason, my body was aching. I fell to the ground again but now, it was more painful.

I tried to find my voice and call out to him, to tell him I was here. "Jeremy..."

"Jules! I'm here! I'm—" Jeremy said but something stopped him. I heard an explosion close to here and a shattering scream broke through the battlefield. NO! JEREMY!

I woke up and sat up in a speed movement, gasping for air as I tried to get the nightmare out of my head. I was sweating and taking in big chunks of air, trying to soothe my incredibly fast beating heart. Suddenly, the room started to spin. I forgot that my head wasn't quite healed yet. I fell on my pillow and tried closing my eyes, to see if the spinning would stop. After a few minutes, it stopped. Thank goodness...

I sat up slowly this time and rubbed my forehead a little. I felt something wet against my palm so I immediately took my hand off. I looked at it in the darkness and saw that my hand had sweat on it. So I was sweating. But I had a good reason for it. That was the worst nightmare I have ever had in my whole life. I rubbed the sweat off of my hand and rubbed my eyes with my hand. What time was it anyways?

I looked over to my night stand and saw that the clock read four thirty-three. Oh my god... Why did I keep waking up at these incredible hours?! Good thing it was Saturday. I got up slowly and walked over to my window. It was because of this stupid breeze that I can't sleep well. I closed it lightly, trying not to wake Henry up and walked back over to my bed. I lied in my bed for a while, trying to let my fatigue come at me like a bullet but it never came. Man... I couldn't even fall back asleep.

I sat in my bed for a while, trying to decide what to do. I had three options. Option one, I could try to lie in my bed and let the sleep come in like I just did and wait to fall asleep. Option two, I could stay awake and draw until dawn. Option three, open my computer and surf the web. Well, I knew that Option one wouldn't work a second time and Option three sounded like too much noise because of the keyboard. So, I might as well go with Option two and if I fall asleep, so be it.

I got up and went to my desk to grab my drawing book. It had been a couple of weeks since I last drew something. My fingers wanted to draw something. They were impatient. I had a couple of landscapes with my book and decided to do a man fishing on a log close to a river.

I drew for I don't know how long but it seemed like hours. I was about to put my last touch on it when I saw the sun was rising. It was so beautiful at this time of day that I grabbed my camera; opened my window and took a picture of the landscape from my bedroom. The picture turned out perfect. The trees covering parts of the left side of the sun; the houses lighting up and the lamp post's light flicked off. That would make a great picture that I could draw someday. I closed the window; put away the camera and went back to finishing my drawing and in a few minutes, it was done. Chanel always said I had the passion to draw anything that I want and make something great out of it. I looked it over and it looked ninety nine per cent like the photograph. Well, I can say that's a job well done.

I placed my notebook open with the picture I just drew on my desk and looked over at my night stand to look at the clock and it read six twenty-four. I'd been up for less than three hours without wanting to fall asleep. But unfortunately, the sleep decided to catch up with me. I yawned and decided that I might as well catch a little sleep before I'd have to really get up. I set my alarm clock for nine thirty and fell in my bed. Seconds later, I fell asleep.

The darkness was overpowering me this time but I could hear something faint... It sounded like a ringing of some sort. I realized it was my alarm clock. My eyelids opened slowly and I flung my hand on the snooze button of my clock, making the ringing go from ding to bang, and silence came after.

I got up slowly; got changed; and went downstairs to get something to eat for breakfast. Henry was downstairs eating a bowl of cereal and a toast when I joined him in the kitchen.

"Morning." I said with a smile, heading towards the pantry.

"Morning." Henry answered so low; I'm surprised I even caught that. He wasn't looking at me but staring at something in the newspaper. "How'd you sleep?"

"Oh... good, I guess. You?"

"Same."

I picked my brand of cereal and made myself a normal size bowl of cereal. We ate in silence this morning. Maybe Henry was still fuming because of yesterday. I didn't want my father to be mad at me because I got injured so, I decided I might as well do small talk with him.

"How was the game last night?"

"Good. Raptors won against the Mavericks eighty-six to sixty-nine. Pretty good game." Henry said, still reading his newspaper like I wasn't even here.

"That's good." Suddenly, the doorbell rang, making me turn my head towards the entrance to the kitchen. "Coming!"

"Why don't you go get that?" Henry said, looking me in the eyes this time.

"Sure." I got up, finishing my last bite of my bowl of cereal and was on my way to answer the door. I opened it in a rush and to my total surprise; it was someone I hadn't seen in months.

"Hey lil' sis!" The man in front of me said. He was wearing a navy blue T-Shirt and blue jeans with Reebok white running shoes. His dark blond hair was under his ears, quite shaggy but it was cute on him. His light royal blue eyes were gazing into my deep sea blue eyes.

"Jeremy!" I said louder than supposed to and ran to give him a big hug. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him so tight I think I might have cut his breathing. Unfortunately, Jeremy was built like a pro wrestler so it was impossible to strangle him.

"Hey, take it easy Jules! You might break something!" Jeremy said with his bulky childish voice as he hugged me tightly back.

"Jer... can't... breathe!" I said as he hugged me tightly.

"Sorry Juli." He said as he put me back down. I didn't realize I was dangling off of his neck. But he was close to seven foot so I'm not surprised.

"What are you doing here? I mean, not that I'm not happy to see you and all but... aren't you supposed to be in San Antonio or something?" Jeremy was working as a constructor for big architectural companies and was in charge of mostly transporting big blocks and wood and cement around. He's making quite a lot of money in his job but it made him go all around the country. No wonder he was so muscled.

"I figured that I'd stopped by to see you in Seattle with Mom. She told me that you moved in with Paps for a while so I decided to drop by. Let's get inside. It's freezing out here." Jeremy said as he rubbed his hands on his arms, trying to warm himself up.

"Sure, come on in." He came in without hesitation. I quickly closed the door behind him, trying to preserve the heat from inside. He took off his jacket and put it on the hangar. "Hey Dad! Guess who dropped by for a little visit?"

Henry came in and saw Jeremy coming towards him, trying to give him a humongous hug. "Hey Jeremy! Haven't seen you in a while! How've you been?"

"Just great Paps." He said as they both hugged each other strongly. Well, even if Henry used to be a wrestler and kick boxer, he could never out-hug Jeremy.

"Still as strong as ever. Come on in, make yourself at home." Henry said as he indicated towards the couch in the living room.

"Thanks Paps. But I can't stay long. I've got to get back to Chicago tonight. But I do have a little present for Jules."

"A present? Why?"

"It's a little something I got in San Diego a few days ago." Jer said as he took out a little black box from his back pocket and handing it to me. "I hope you like it. It might need some adding to do but... you'll get the point when you see it."

I took the box and opened it slowly. I just stood there in amazement. Inside the box was a little gold pendant that resembled a volleyball with a hammer behind it. I opened it and it was empty inside. But there was an inscription inside. Je t'aime plus que tout au monde. I took some French when I was in Seattle so I knew what it meant. I love you more than anything in the world. It was always like Jeremy to buy me stuff like this but the locket was just... exceptional.

"I love it." That's all I could say.

"That's good. Now, we'll just have to put a picture in there." Jeremy said with his big smile.

"Of course! How about right now?" I said with such happiness in my voice.

"Sure."

"I'll go get my camera." I said as I went towards the stairs but was cut short.

"I'll come with you. I haven't seen the house in a while so I might as well start with your room Juli." Jeremy said as he followed me up the stairs. The only person that actually called me Juli was Jeremy and I didn't mind it. It was cute when he said it.

We walked right behind one another until we reached my room. I opened the door and went towards my desk immediately. Jer started to have a look around my room. Good thing it was always clean or I would have been embarrassed.

"I remember how you always used to keep this room perfect. You certainly haven't changed." Jeremy said as he looked around the room, doing a three-sixty turn to look for everything in the room.

"I missed you a lot, Jeremy. I'm glad you wanted to stop by."

"You know I always want to see my little sister. I've missed you too Jules." He said as he came closer towards the desk. "I see you still draw." He reached for my drawing book and started to have a look at all of my drawings.

"Yeah... well... It relaxes me when I'm not in the best of moods. Some aren't that good though."

"Are you kidding me Jules?! These are better than excellent! You should show these to someone other than me. I'm sure they would find it perfect." He said as he placed the book back down on the desk. What he said was true. Jeremy's the only one that I show my drawings to. I've been afraid to let anyone see what I do. "You still play the guitar?" That took me by surprise. I hadn't touched my guitar for many years...

"No... Not really. Not after what happened."

"Jules, that wasn't your fault. It could have happened to anyone." There was no point in arguing with him. He'd always win in the end.

"Well, I still haven't touched a guitar ever since." I looked towards the wardrobe. He looked at me and then at the wardrobe. He figured it out.

"So, that's where you're hiding it..." He said as he went towards the wardrobe. I didn't want to touch a guitar. But Jeremy would probably make me do it. He loved hearing me play ever since I was a little girl. I stopped playing seven years. Ever since... I didn't want to remember that memory. It was too painful. He took one of the many guitars that I had in my wardrobe and handed me a Brian Moore iGuitar 91.13 electric guitar. That was my newest one. "Try playing again. You always wanted to play when you were little. Every minute of the day."

"I don't know... I might be a little rusty." That might get me out of playing.

"Just try it. It won't hurt anyone." He said with his smile that made me cave into anything.

"Oh alright..." I said as he handed me the guitar.

"That's my lil' sis." I put the strap around me and started tuning the guitar. I hadn't played in a while that the guitar needed a good tuning to sound right. I grabbed the pick that was between the strings and started playing the beginning of one song that I loved so much. Rock you like a hurricane by Scorpions. It was one of my favourite songs to play when I was little. It was hard but after many weeks of practice, I finally mastered it. I started playing and found that my fingers didn't have any problems finding their placements. Jeremy was happy to see me play after so long that it made me happy to play. After the song was over, he applauded with happiness and hugged me tightly after the song, trying not to damage the guitar. Those things were so expensive these days that he didn't want to have to buy me a new one, although he'd be trilled to do so.

"That was fabulous Juli. You should go back to playing. You know you love it."

"How about we take the picture? I'll ask Dad if he can take it for us and I'll print it out on my computer afterwards." I said as I took my camera and went to stand right next to Jeremy. I was always jealous of his height but it was no surprise. Of what I can remember, Jeremy got his growth spurt at fifteen and didn't stop growing until he was at least nineteen. And even at twenty-three, I think he's still growing.

"Sounds like a plan. Let's go downstairs. I have to leave in an hour or so." He said as he put his arm around my waist like he used to and we walked together down the stairs.

"You have to leave so soon?" I asked sadly. I knew that Jeremy's job meant that he could never stay long for a visit but it was still sad to see him leave.

"Don't worry; I'll be back in a week or so. You know that I can never stay far away from you." He said as he kissed my forehead. It was true. Jeremy and I were so close that it was hard for him or even me to be away from one another. We never fight and we're always so close.

"That's true." I said as we reached the living room.

"I heard you play upstairs Jules. That was really good." Henry said as he came closer to us. I stand corrected. Jeremy and Henry were the only ones that liked to hear me play; and Chanel of course. "I haven't heard you play in so long."

"Someone made me want to try again." I said as I looked at Jeremy with my deep sea blue eyes.

"Good job Jeremy. It's good to see Jules play again. You know, after..." Even Henry couldn't finish his sentence. It was hard for him too.

"No worries, Paps. Jules's an amazing player and drawer that someone needs to see her talent. Now, let's take that picture and put it in the locket." He said as I gave Henry the camera and the siblings got into place for a good picture. Henry started positioning the camera and told us to say cheese at the right moment. We obeyed and the flash went on, stunning us both. Jeremy looked at me and looked down at my arm.

"What happened to you Jules?"

"Oh, some chemicals fell on my arm a few days ago but it's healing now." I said as I rubbed my wound lightly.

"That's not good. You should be more careful." Jeremy said with a worried voice.

"Thanks for the tip." I said with my smile.

"That's not the only injury she got. She's been hurting herself constantly." Henry informed.

"Well, with her track record, it's not surprising Paps." He couldn't help but laugh at that.

"Oh thanks Jer! I'm not that big of a klutz!" I said, trying to punch him in the arm but it wasn't hard on him.

"Alright alright. You know I didn't mean anything by it. But, what else happened?" He asked worried again.

"Our gym is kind of under construction so the basketball net kinda fell on me and I hit my head on the ground hard but some glass fell on my leg and scratched me badly. It's healing now." I explained.

"You seriously should be more careful Jules. I don't want anything to happen to my lil' sis!" He said as he hugged me lightly. I didn't feel any pain when he hugged me these times.

"I'll try." I said as I hugged him back.

I went to print out the picture in a small form and cut the picture out so it would fit in the frame. Jeremy helped me out and we were able to put the picture in before he had to go. He helped me put the locket around my neck and I looked in the mirror to see how it looked. Jer was behind me when I looked and it was incredible around my neck. He was happy when he saw me with the necklace around my neck and I was happy that I was able to look at Jeremy now all the time without having to see him once every week.

He left a few minutes after chatting with Henry and me about how everything was going. He was happy that I was trying out for the school volleyball team in a week since he knew how good I was a player. If there was ever a game soon, he would come and cheer me on. Just like Jeremy... I was glad that he came. I got to chat with him for a while and was happy that his unexpected visit was so rewarding.

Alright everyone, we just met Jeremy. Now, what will happen? Review!!!
