Incoming dream sequence OOooOOoo. What a cliché amirite?
Of Cowards And Heroes
Chapter 1.5: Dreams/Memories
"Here dude, hold my hand! You don't wanna fall twenty-plus stories down do ya?" A familiar figure called out to me, yet he was faceless. How do I know him? A voice and body I recognise, yet why do I not remember his face?
Looking down, I saw my vision tunnel in on the sheer narrow drop I was faced with and in fear, I grabbed his arm as I leaped across the small, yet sizeable, gap. 'This is definitely not good for my acrophobia...'
On the highest rooftop back in my hometown was our hangout spot, our go-to place where we can relax and did what all teenagers do.
Be stupid and have fun.
The amount of times we've drank, smoked, and get emotional on this rooftop were more that I could ever comprehend but atleast we made a whole lot of good memories...
"You know that we've always got your back! Come over here and have a seat, no need to be afraid!" Another familiar voice, still faceless, gestured towards the edge of the roof. I obliged and sat near them and smoked with them. 'I do almost everything with them. Why?'
'Cause they're the people I trust with my life, and they trust me with theirs,' I replied to myself.
We've gotten chased by security before, trespassed on private property together, and even shared our deepest secrets with one another. Yet their names, like their faces, eludes me. The details of it all remain on the tip of my tongue and yet, I can't recall it. It was as if my own mind was mocking me for daring to even call them my closest friends.
As I sat there, smoking and looking off into the distance as the sun sets over the ocean, I reminisce of the friends I have with me right now. How we've been together for over half a decade, how I knew that a friendship like this would never fall apart. And yet a small part of me could only think of one thought as it filled my mind, in turn filling me with despair and fear.
I can't recall who they are.
A/N
Just a short chapter to give a tiny bit more information about our protagonist here. I originally wanted to make it either apart of late chapter 1 or early chapter 2, but I decided that it would be better that the dream sequence(especially those that is literally just exposition) deserves its own chapter.
