A/N: Alright, so I've had a boatload of homework to do. Most of it was just study guides for my final's next week. The last week of school... Where did the time go. Amway, you guys who are reading this, please... please, leave me a review. I'm absolutely dying to know what you think.
Oh yeah, I altered the 1st chapter a bit too. 'Cause I was gonna bring in a step-mother but then I got an even better idea so I got rid of the "evil step-mother" thing. That's all, so enjoy this chapter.
Bree's POV
Everything is so hazy. The streets are noisy with all the people around me. "Excuse me..." I ask, but no on hears me. I'm completely invisible to them. Where am I? I have absolutely no idea.
Suddenly there's a loud crash and I looked up to see someone appear out of the smoke coming from the window of a building, which I'm assuming is a hospital. I gasp when I realize he's holding someone, and everyone turns to look. Then the streets are filled with chaos as he drops the guy he was holding and he falls to his death, but he stops before he hits the ground.
The scene changes as police flood the scene but they're all pushed away by some kind of force field. I feel it but for some reason I'm not affected. I feel a connection to the guy that I cannot explain.
Without warning the scene changes. The guy from before is on the ground and he's injured but he looks completely deranged. I can feel his pain. He is alone, just like me.
"Don't shoot please!" A different guy from before screams at the cops while he stands over the original guy who's bleeding badly and struggling to get off the ground.
But the cop's do shoot and I horror floods through me as the protector of the first guy gets shot. His scream fills the air but luckily its only his right hand. Then it changes again.
"Andrew! Andrew, stop! Don't hurt them! Andrew!" This only fills the guy (Andrew) with a boiling rage and he screams, sending out a powerful shockwave.
"Andrew, don't make me do this! Stop!" He looks around frantically as people ran in fear and windows broke everywhere. I feel his anguish and I can't explain how I knew, but I did. I knew what he was going to do next.
The spear of a nearby Indian statue flew out and speared Andrew, killing him instantly.
A scream ripped through silence of the house as I shot straight up in bed. Tears were streaming down my cheeks and I was shaking. I looked over at the bright blue numbers of my alarm clock. 4:15am.
It was just a dream... Nothing but a dream. The thing is I couldn't shake the feeling that it had been more than a dream. The connection I felt to those two guys.
Andrew's anger was so much like mine. But he must have been a figment of my imagination. Someone I created so I wouldn't be the only one in pain...right?
I sat there for what seemed like a few minutes but when I looked at the clock again it was already 5. So I stood shakily and wiped my eyes as I walked into the bathroom. I took a quick shower and got dressed. When I cam back out my phone was ringing. For a second my heart leapt at the thought that it could be Adam, but I quickly extinguished that hope.
"Hello?" I asked, without checking the I.D.
"Hey Bree..." The voice made my heart leap and my throat constrict.
"Hi Jason. What's up?" I asked, my voice tight, and still shaking from my nightmare. The silence was almost unbearable. Then he finally spoke.
"I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for taking off so quickly yesterday. I wanted to say something but I just- I needed to think. I know I should have at least said bye but I couldn't..." His voice trailed off and this time it was me that made the silence. "Are you still there Bree?"
I shook my head to clear my thoughts. "Yeah, I'm still here, and it's okay. It was a lot to dump on you. I wasn't going to tell you. It all just sort of...came out." I grabbed my backpack and walked into the kitchen.
"Well, I'm glad you forgive me because I'm outside." I froze in the process of my morning routine. "I'm sorry if you think that's creepy and I know you have you're own car-"
"Hey, its fine. I'll be out in a second." I say, even though I should have told him to leave me alone. Sometimes I think my brain is just damaged.
"Bree, whats wrong? You haven't said anything the whole ride." I looked over at Jason and felt guilty. "Sorry. It's just, my dad was home when I got back yesterday and..."
I trailed off as he pulled into the parking lot. So many people where looking at me and I felt so awkward. "Its nothing." I said and he sighed. "You don't need to tell me anything Bree. I just want you to know I'm here for you." He paused and smiled.
"By the way, your eyes are still as beautiful as they were yesterday. Don't hide them." I blushed and nodded. He didn't say anything more. That is, until we got into home room.
Unfortunately, Adam and his gang were already in class. Of course, Melissa was hanging on him, which made me sick to my stomach. But I ignored it the best I could (which wasn't very good at all).
Jason took my hand and squeezed it gently. "Don't worry about them." He whispered and I smiled up at him.
All through class there seemed to be something that was troubling him but I figured he would tell me later.
"Hey, Bree?" He asked as we walked out of class. He had his arm around me and all the cheerleaders that passed us gave me the evil eye. I'm not going to deny that they scared me, but I felt safer with Jason.
"Whats up?" I asked. "There's going to be a bonfire on the beach over winter break and I was wondering if you wanted to go." What he said rolled around in my mind and I looked up at him.
"We don't have to talk to anyone or even be with the group. I just thought it would be fun. To get your mind off of things."
We stopped at my locker and I grabbed my English book. "Yeah fine. I'll go. I don't have anything else better to do. So it's in like 2 and a half months right?" He looked up at the ceiling and i knew he was calculating what i had already figured out. "Yeah. It'll be fun. Trust me."
I did trust him, but should I have?
A/N: Alrighty, hope you enjoyed that chapter. Its like 11 o'clock and I'm up writing this. I'm a little tired so I'll probably come make adjustments to this chapter later. if I do, I'll tell you. (Obviously)
Anyway, goodnight to you all. Or at least, goodnight for me. =D
