Will's POV
"Help me." The girl covered her face with her hands and crumbled to the floor, sobs erupting out of her. My heart was filled with sadness. I tried to reach out to her, but I couldn't move. I tried to call out, but my voice wasn't there. Not anymore. I could only stare at her and feel sorry for her. Why did she care so much to me? Why did I have that unbearable urge to pull her close and never let go? Who is she? Why couldn't I be there for her? Why does my heart seem so incomplete?
"Hey, dude. Wake up." I blinked my eyes open and squinted into the sun peaking in through my window. My best bud Gabriel sat next to me.
"Hey man," I high-fived him, "I haven't seen you in ages."
"Same here bro." Gabriel said, smiling his half-smile.
"Hey, did Cindy let you in?" I questioned, rubbing my sore eyes.
"Yup." Gabriel grinned and laughed to himself at his own private joke. I attempted to ignore the thought of Gabriel flirting with the college girl that took care of me.
"So, when are you breaking me out of here?" I asked as I attempted to clear my mind of unnecessary thoughts.
"Cindy said as soon as you graduate high school." High school. Big whoop. I yawned a fake yawn. Gabriel frowned. "You have to finish high school."
"But dude come on you didn't even-" Gabriel looked away. I knew that I had hit a nerve. "Gabe, I'm sorr-"
"Look man, its ok. But you know why I had to drop out during senior year. That's exactly why I want to see you graduate, in place of me." Gabriel had on a brave face, but I knew that I couldn't take my words back.
"You just know that I hate this foster home bro." I said, clenching my fists. "All the kids my age, they just annoy the heck outta me! I want them all to-" I couldn't get myself to say die. From what I've seen with death, I would hate to go down that road again.
"Look, just a couple more years and you can kiss this house goodbye." Gabriel patted me on the back. I sighed and looked out the window to see the tall trees swaying in the slight wind. "You still dreaming about her?" My face turned red and I looked quickly away from the window. I don't know how he does it, but Gabriel can always seem to read my mind.
"Yeah bro, I have. Even more now. She looks like she needs me help, from the way she is crying out to me." My face got even hotter. "I just need to see her face."
"Dude, its ok, you will find her." Gabriel gave my back a pat. Somehow, it wasn't comforting.
"I hope so, she just seems so in need. I need to find her." Gabriel gave my back another hard pat. "Let's forget about this for now so you can get dressed and get out of here before your roommates wake up." I looked around my room to see my snoring roommates. Oh yeah, I had forgotten about them. They are so annoying, and I hate it when they praise Gabriel every time he comes to pick me up. I have no idea why they always think he's the coolest guy in the world. It's oddly creepy.
"Wait downstairs Gabriel, I'll be right there." I hopped out of bed and threw on my gray shirt with black jeans, then ran my fingers through my dirty blonde hair. As good as it will ever be.
I slipped my shoes on and trotted down the stairs, grabbing an apple when I passed by the kitchen, the headed towards the front door.
Gabriel was outside, sitting in his sleek black car. I slipped into the passenger's seat and Gabriel took off, speeding down the road, trees whooshing by him. I crossed my fingers and wished, just for a second, that I would find the desperate, beautiful girl from my dream. Maybe, just maybe, I could help her.
