CHAPTER TWO

February 16th,
I have decided that I will go and search of Jesse. I can't just sit here waiting! For all I know he could have heard about my staged death and thinks that I have kicked the bucket if you get my meaning. He could think of me as dead and be heart broken... Or so I hope...
Then again... Maybe he doesn't care! We were much younger then... Well, I was Jesse was around 100 so you can't really call that young. But anyways he may have forgotten me and found someone new. Maybe he found someone prettier and with... Um... DIMPLES! He's found a pretty girl that he has fallen in love with, a girl with dimples.
I just went back and read that last paragraph. It sounded petty and childish even to me. If Jesse has found someone I will be happy for him, I would never wish this loneliness on anyone. Well, not most people anyways. So I will go find him if I can. At least there will be people to talk to. Here I can't talk to anyone in fear that they might find out about me.

When I was fourteen I made a friend with a girl my age who's mother was friends with mine. She was different than most girls I had known. Most girls I had met were worried mostly about looks and marriage. Addie was different. She just wanted to play! She reminded me of Jesse. From the moment she told me that she always wanted to be able to climb a tree I latched onto her.
We were the best of friends I told her everything... Well, almost everything. I didn't tell her about the Tuck's secret. I did tell her about Jesse though. Not his secret or his past or how they had SUPPOSEDLY kidnapped me but about how I thought I might love him and how he taught me how to just have fun and to appreciate the small things in life.
She told me about her secret place. Her secret place was anywhere and everywhere. All Addie had to do was open up her mind and see it. When she looked around she did not see the dusty road or the stuck up ladies. She saw only a blank page.
Addie you see, was blind. She did not know what she looked like or what I looked like. She did not know that her eyes were a blue so vivid they seemed like pools of water. And even if someone did tell her it would not have meant anything to her because she did not know what blue was!
One day though when I was almost sixteen Addie could not come out to see me. Her mother said that she was not feeling well. I was not worried. Her mother made it sound like just a cold. She did not see it fit to tell me that Addie was close to death.
It was almost a month before I saw Addie again. My sixteenth birthday came and went without Addie's smile and calm voice. When finally Addie's mother admitted that Addie was indeed dying I demanded to see her. I pushed my way past her mother and barged into her room.
When I saw Addie sitting in her bed shivering her small body frail and close to death I did not know what to do. I just stood there. Finally Addie spoke, her voice barely a whisper hardly audible,
" I know someone is standing there. You might as well say who you are. Are you another one of those priests here to bother me?"
I couldn't help but smile shakily although no one could see it.
" Oh Addie! I missed you so!" I sobbed and rushed to her bed side and folded my tan hand over her pale one.
" Winnie! I begged mother to let you visit me! I am so sorry I missed your birthday. I got you a present..." Here she had to stop and suck air into her lungs. I wanted to take her place and give her my stronger lungs.
" It's over there on the table." She nodded over to a small table. On it was a locket. It was small and beautiful. It had a small ruby in the center. When I opened it up there was a small dried blue flower.
" It was my grandmothers. She wore it at her wedding and gave it to me. I want you to have it though. The flower inside of it is a forget-me-not. I want you to have it to remember me by."
I rushed back to her side and flung my arms around her gently. I sobbed into her hair, her brown curly locks that I always had envied.
" I love you Addie. You have been the best friend I ever had! Ever! You WILL get well again! You must..."
Addie let out a faint chuckle. and lifted up a hand to smooth my hair,
" Oh Winnie. I love you too. You have been one of the only people willing to see past my image and see the person inside of me. I thank you for that. I also know though that my time here is up. I can't stay here much longer."
" No! Addie! You CAN'T! I... I... Addie," I spoke fast a thought forming in my mind, I said it before I could even think about the words,
" there is a way you can keep living. I know if a way you can live forever! We can both drink from it and live together until the world ends! We could be together forever you and I. And we could go find Jesse and Tuck and everyone and we could all live together! Please Addie do this... For me... For yourself."
Addie shook her head, " I have no wish to live forever Winnie. I have used up my time here and now I am going to make room for other people. I am not afraid to die."
I begged her but she was adamant. Not soon after her mother came and ushered me out. And Addie said her last words to me,
" Winne, some people go they're entire lives with out really seeing anything. Don't be like that. See everything. And remember that I love you."
I will always remember those words. It is like she sewed them in my mind. After Addie died I stopped eating. I stopped smiling. All I felt was bitterness. When I slept at night all I thought about was that Addie should not have died and that she need'nt have died! I could have saved her if only she had said yes. Then I drank the water. I felt as if I had to. To prove to the world that I could beat death.
But in drinking the water I did not escape death. I was cursed. There was no one I could turn to. And now I don't know if there ever will be.

(AN/ Sorry about this chapter... Its kind of depressing! I have been in a REALLY dark frame of mind these last couple of days. But the girl Addie was based on someone I knew that died too soon. She was one of my best friends sisters. And she died when she was only three. So I hope you all will forgive me for the darkness of this chapter. So PLEASE if you want to make my day better review me! It would make my day a lot better than it is right now! I love you all!)
