Chapter 3

We drive around for a really long time, and while we're at it we register my hummer and get some boots for Zara. I also buy her a new pair of jeans, a T-shirt, and a hoodie. We drive to Nick's house because it's almost time for him to come over so we thought we would pick him up. I hop out of the hummer and follow Zara up to the door. She rings the doorbell. He opens the door. "Hey Zara, why are you over here, I thought I was going to your house!"

"We thought we would come and pick you up since me and Sarah were out and about!"

"Oh! Wait whose Sarah?" That's when he finally turns his head and notices me, how kind of him.

"Hi I'm Sarah Thorn Zara's cousin!" I say.

"Oh! Zara has been telling me a lot about you." Then I hear someone else from in the house say "Hey Nick, who's at the door?" It was a guy's voice. Then another guy walks up behind Nick. He is gorgeous, like drop-dead-gorgeous. Every cell in my body was like screaming at me to kiss him. And I never feel this way about any guy I met, not even any of my ex-boyfriends. I just stood there staring at him. Finally I recovered, I shook my head like a dog to get back to my senses. "Hey this is my cousin, Alex Smith! He's staying with me for awhile." I had this feeling that Nick was not telling me or Zara the whole truth. "Hi Alex, I'm Zara and this is my cousin Sarah!"

"Hey" I say, all casual. "So Alex, are you coming over for dinner tonight?" Zara asks. I almost wanted to slap her. I hope he was going to say no. But nooo the universe had to make him say yes. "Yeah, if...that's ok with you guys." He looks right into my eyes. His eyes are a deep brown with some yellow/gold in them. He has really dark brown hair, and it looks like he's been in the sun a lot. His eyes seem to bore into mine, it felt like he could see all the way to my soul. It felt so weird. "Yeah sure. Sarah?" Zara asks.

"Um, yeah, yeah, that's cool." I say. He still hasn't stopped looking at me, and I can't seem to look away. "Kay, Cool!" Alex says. Still not taking his eyes off me, it was making me feel kind of nerves. I normally don't feel nerves around guys I've just met.

I turn around and head back to the safety and warmth of my hummer. I look back, Zara is following me, who is followed by Alex and then Nick who is locking the front door. I unlock the car doors and get in. I turn the key and hear the hummer roar to life. Everyone else gets in while I turn on the heat and radio. I pull out of their driveway and start towards my new home, with a really cute guy that makes me really nerves. It feels like he's trying to get inside my head or something. But that could just be me because in just that short amount of time, I wanted to spend every waking moment with Alex. And I don't know why.

Marrissa is making spaghetti. It smells so good when I walk in. But I'm still hyper-aware of Alex standing a few feet from me. I can feel his eyes on my back, it creeps me out. I turn my head a little bit to look at him. He doesn't turn away; he just stares into my eyes. I knew I shouldn't have turned around, now I'm stuck staring into his eyes. I shake my head again. Gram Notices me "Sarah are you all right?" Finally Alex turns away. "Yeah I'm fine, just a little tired." Then he goes back to the staring thing.

The table was already set for 5 but Zara was in the kitchen getting utensils to set another place for Alex. I sat down after Gram and Marrissa did. Alex sits down next to me "Do you mind if I sit here?"

"Yeah, sure, go ahead." Zara sits down next to her mother and Nick sits next to her. I don't get it. Alex could have sat at any other place but he chose to sit next to me. The thought makes my heart speed up. Gram starts the conversation "So, Alex, why did you come to Maine?"

"Well my parents are on a trip and they wanted me to continue my education in America, so they sent me here to live with Nick."

"How long will your parents be gone?" Asks Zara, she turns her head a little bit to look at me while she asks that.

"Until I finish high school, so they'll be gone for a year to two years." Weird, his parents will be gone the same amount of time mine will be.

"Cool. My parents went off on a trip all around the world, and didn't take me with them, as you can see, but they told me I couldn't come because I would miss so much school and blah, blah, blah." Everyone starts laughing except for Gram.

"You know Sarah that your parents sent you here to live with us so you could finish high school and get a good education. They only wanted what was best for you."

"Yeah I know Gram, but my parents don't just go off on a really long trip without me. That's just something they don't do. There has to be a reason, other than finishing school, to send me up here to live with you, and I haven't figured that reason out yet." I say with sadness. For some odd reason Alex reaches over and rubs my back, he doesn't pat it he rubs it, for like two seconds. I don't flinch away. I shiver from the touch; it was like he was radiating energy. But the weird thing is I like it.

After dinner Zara and Nick go up to her room. I bet for a make out session. I don't ask Zara what they're doing though, I don't want to invade her privacy. I still think it's funny they do it when there are 4 people downstairs that know what they're doing. I sit down on a couch and turn on the T.V. Alex comes and joins me but sits on the opposite end. I watch T.V for awhile, then my eyelids start drooping, I try to keep them open but I can't fight it, and I drift off into a very deep sleep.

I dreamed about a women leaning over me, saying "Oh! My baby. My very beautiful baby girl!" I had no idea who this woman was, it seemed that she was like my mother. I knew she wasn't because my mom did not look like that. She had dark brown hair. But this woman had wavy/straight blonde hair, like mine. Just not as long. I don't get it. Why would I have a dream about a blonde haired woman calling me her baby when my real mom gave birth to me, but maybe she didn't?

I wake up with my head almost, Almost in Alex's lap. He was playing with my hair and watching T.V. I sat upright. He just looks at me from the corner of his eyes, and then goes back to watching T.V.

Why does everything seem to be getting weirder since I moved out to Bedford, Maine?

Zara and Nick come down the stairs. "You guys ready to go?" I ask.

"Yeah, sure I guess." Nick says.

"Yeah, that's cool with me." Alex says. Something is different about him. Something I can't put my finger on. "I'll drive you guys home." I say getting up to grab my coat and keys. "Thanks." Nick and Alex say.

I walk out the door and get into my hummer, waiting for the boys to come out. Eventually they do. Alex gets in the front seat, and Nick gets in the back. I pull out and start the drive to their house.

I pull into they're driveway. Nick hops out without saying anything, I bet because he's still thinking about Zara. It makes me laugh but I swallow it. Alex turns to face me. "Thank you Sarah, for a fun night." He says it with a smile that makes my heart want to jump out of my chest. I noticed he has a really nice jaw line, and a dimple on the right side of his mouth. I finally manage to say "Your welcome, I had a really great time." But I was still thinking about how I woke up with my head almost in his lap. It still made me shiver. He lifts his hand and touches my cheek. I freeze, he then turns and opens the door and walk into his house. I'm still shocked about what just happened. What was with that guy, it felt like I couldn't stay away. I think that I'm going to tell Zara. I start the car and drive home, with my heart ramming against my ribcage.

When I get home (yes I'm calling it home now) I take off my coat and boots and tell Zara I need to talk to her. I walk up the stairs and into her room she walks in after me, and I shut the door. "Something is really, really wrong with Alex. I took a nap when you were with Nick and I woke up with my head almost in his lap."

"That's weird. Was he doing anything when you woke up?"

"Yeah he was playing with my hair like it was no big deal that a girl he barely knows had her head almost in his lap. Then when I dropped them off, he reached out and touched my cheek. I swear it was the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me. And while I was sleeping I had this dream about a woman that had blonde hair, and was holding me and calling me her 'Baby, my beautiful baby girl' it was the weirdest thing."

"Wow that is really weird Sarah. Well maybe Alex likes you. But I don't think he would start making moves on you this early. Wait Nick kind of did the same thing with me. So maybe Nick is telling him what to do. But I don't think I have an answer for you about your dream."

"Thanks for the advice Zara. Do you think Maine makes people crazy?"

"I asked that same question, and I think at first it might but as you get used to it, it stops making you crazy." She says. I just flop down on my makeshift bed on the floor and fell asleep.

I woke up the next morning. I didn't even think about eating breakfast. I just rolled out of bed and took a shower, a really nice, really long shower. When I walk back into Zara's room she wakes up. "Hey what are you doing up so early?" She looks really tired, and pale for some reason. It might be just the light, or from being in Maine where there is like zero sunshine. "I woke up and I didn't want to go back to sleep. I had that dream again." I say flatly.

"Was there anything different about it?"

"Yeah she said my name. 'Sarah Thorn.'" And then she freaks out.

"What? She said your name! How is that possible?"

"I don't look anything like my parents. Unless I got a dormant gene that they both had that came out when I was born."

"Maybe we should tell my mom and Gram."

"No we can't, not now. I want to figure it out myself. Let's go get some breakfast."

"Fine, but this conversation is not over yet."

"You sound like my mom." Then we both start laughing.
