Ch.3: Confessions part 2
Terra and Jessica were about twenty- five percent done with there holes when everyone else was about halfway done. She sank down in her hole and took a swig of her water. She then stood up and saw a crappy blue truck coming her way. It stopped about ten feet away from her and doctor big head got out.
"Alright line up and get your lunch!" He said
"Ladies first." X-ray offered his spot in line to Terra and Jessica.
Terra stood there looking at him, she studied his face and then walked to the back of the line.
"Chika, you're crazy! If he offered me the front of the line I would have took it." Magnet said
"Well, I'm not you." She forced a smile, Zig Zag got out of his place in line and stood next to Terra "What are you doing?"
"Standing next to you."
"Well, you just gave up your place in line to Magnet."
"Well, I felt sorry for him."
"And me."
"Ok maybe just a little."
"That makes me feel a whole lot better!" She said sarcastically
"I need to tell you something but not here."
"Why not here?"
"Because, it needs to be some place private where nobody is."
"Well, since you're going to be done before me just come by my hole when every one is done."
"Alright, I'll dig slowly."
"Good boy!" She patted his head
She was almost done digging when Zig Zag sat at the edge of her hole.
"Everyone's gone, so what is it?" she asked
"You might want to sit down." She jumped up and sat on the opposite side of him.
"OK, I'm sitting down, now what is it?"
"I know how Ricky felt when you left."
"What do you mean?"
"I know who Ricky is."
"So you're saying that you and Ricky were friends?"
"Yes, after you left his grades slipped and he started falling asleep in class. He dragged his feet down the hallway, his head always down. Everyone tried to cheer him up, except you old friends. They always made fun of him and called him moping Ricky."
"Did he ever get out of his depression?"
"Kind of, he's still in deep depression but not like he was before, he use to writes to me almost once a week telling me how his life is and what someone did to him."
"Wait, you have his address?"
"Not anymore, the guys thought it would be funny to play a little prank on me so they took the letters and threw them away. He doesn't write anymore, he hasn't written in over a month."
"Oh, so you couldn't tell me this last night?"
"I never even thought about it till I got back to the tent."
"He also told me that if he ever saw you again he would never let you go away."
"…"
"Are you ok?"
"…"
"Terra?"
"Huh? Sorry, yea, I'm fine." She said wiping a tear away
"No, don't cry. Ricky wouldn't want you to cry."
"I can't believe that he would actually keep thinking about me after two years."
"Who could ever forget you? When you enter a room everyone notices you, not because of you being a smart ass. It's because of your beauty. And when you leave the room everyone can't stop talking about you. You're all he ever thought about, he always had dreams about you some were good where you would come back and see him and some were bad where you would totally forget about him and date some other guy."
"I could never forget about him, he meant everything to me."
"And you meant everything to him."
"I remember this one time he broke his leg skateboarding down a 60 degree hill. I sat in the hospital with him until he got out." She smiled at the memory "That's when he asked me out."
:Flashback:
"You know, you don't have to stay here." Ricky said lying on the hospital bed
"I know, but I want to. I care about you Ricky and I want to make sure you'll make out of here alive."
"I have a freaking broken leg! All there going to do is put a cast over my leg give me some crutches and I'll crutch my way out of here. Maybe with an awesome sticker of a dinosaur." He laughed
"Hardy har har." She said sarcastically
"I was being serious."
"No you weren't."
"Yes I was."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes"
"OK fine! I give up you win!"
"Brownie points for me!" He pumped his fist into the air
"You're such a dork!"
"Yes, but this dork thinks you're cute."
"You're delusional."
"No I'm not, I've liked you since the day I saw you."
"Ok, jokes over Ricky."
"It's no joke, I really like you."
"Oh my god you're serious."
"Isn't that what I just said?"
"…"
"Terra?"
"…"
"Are you ok?"
"…"
"Terra?" He snapped his fingers in front of her face
"Huh? What? Oh, Sorry." She snapped out of her daze "So are you like asking me out?"
"Um… kind of."
"…"
"So? What's your answer?"
"Uh, I'm not to sure but I guess we could have a go at it."
"Alright, add that brownie point to the other one!"
"Funny."
:End Flashback:
"Hey Zig, what are you still doing out here?" Magnet asked coming towards him with Jessica by his side
"We were just talking."
"Do you want to play pool? Girls against guys or it could be you and Terra against me and Jessica."
"Maybe later man, I got some things to do."
Later on that night Terra went back to her tent and the vision that she saw burned her eyes.
"Aw come-on! I want some peace and quiet and here you two are playing tonsil hockey with each other." Terra said with her eyes closed
"Come-on Terra, please tell me that you haven't seen people making out before." Jessica said
"Yea, I have, but you people have to tell me these things. People just don't want to walk in on people. What if you were doing things that you not supposed to be doing?"
"Come-on Terra, you know I'm smarter than that!"
"Apparently not!" She still had her eyes closed
"Open your eyes Terra."
"I don't have eyes anymore. They burned away when I walked in." Terra answered. "Now if you don't mind please get off my cot so I can burn it."
"Oh, sorry!" Jessica smiled
"I better go." Magnet said getting up
"Ok, well, have a good night and we'll see you in the morning." Terra said while feeling around for her cot
"Yea, you too. Good night Jess."
"Goodnight Magnet." She giggled
"HA! I found my cot!" Terra tried to sit down but instead she missed her cot and hit the floor. "Maybe not! I'm alright." She got back up and tried sitting again. This time she slowly sat down making sure that she wouldn't fall.
"Terra he's gone, you can open your eyes now."
"No can do!" Terra said feeling around for her bag under her cot
"And why not?"
"I told you! I'm blind! My eyes burned when I walked in."
"Well, I'm going to sleep, goodnight Terra, pleasant dreams."
"Yep you too." She sighed as she laid down and drifted off to a nice peaceful slumber
:Dream:
"Ricky?" Terra asked a guy in the shadows of his hood
"Yes, Terra it's me."
"Please take off your hood."
"I can't do that."
"And why not?"
"Because I don't want you to see my sadness." A tune began to play and Ricky offered his hand to her "Dance with me, please." She obeyed. She took his hand and put her head in the crook of his neck while his chin rested on the top of her head.
I wonder how I ever made it through a day
How did I settle for a world in shades of grey?
When you go in circles all the scenery looks the same
And you don't know why
Then I looked into your eyes
Where the road stretched out in front of me,
And I realize
I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again I wasn't really living
I never lived before your love
I wanted more than just an ordinary life
All of my dreams seemed like castles in the sky
I stand before you and my heart is in your hands
And I don't know how
I survived without your kiss
Cause you've given me a reason to exist
I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again I wasn't really living
I never lived before your love
I never lived before your love
And I don't know why
Why the sun decides to shine
But you breathed your love into me just in time
I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again I wasn't really living
I never lived before your love
I never lived
I never lived
Before your love
A bell sounded in the distance a Ricky quickly pulled away.
"I have to go."
"No please don't leave me."
"I have to."
"Will I ever see you again?"
"I have a feeling that we will." He slowly let go of her hand and the shadows pulled him away from her.
"Ricky!" She yelled. She fell to her knees sobbing "Ricky." She whispered
:End Dream:
Terra sat up straight sweating bullets. She heard the wake up bell in the distance. She quickly threw her blankets off of her and swung her legs over the side of her cot. The dream, it felt so real. I haven't had a dream like that in a while. Zig Zag knows more about Ricky then he told me. I just know it, it's a gut feeling. She thought. She got up and went to wake Jessica up.
