A/N: I got a bit stuck in this chapter, I found myself re writing, re writing and re writing it again and again until I like what I came up with. So here's chapter 4

And luckily, I had a time to write this even if I had 2 more days of examinations (My parents are out ;D) but I have to write fast and reread fast :)

Oh, and by the way, I change the death of Leslie to April 6 from April 4, I checked the 2007 calendar and found out that April 4 was a Wednesday haha

Chapter 4:

6th of April

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"Huh?"

"Dad was calling you downstairs, I think he thought that you're already awake cause you always woke up at 5 in the-" May Belle quickly ran towards her bed and pretend to be asleep when she heard footsteps coming towards their bedroom.

While Jesse, he didn't exactly know whether he's already awake or dreaming, looks around feeling confused on all of this. He's eyes were blurred and he heard a voice telling him something, but something was already playing inside his head when he's about to speak. What he saw was himself, walking towards their house, then everything was fast for a moment. Inside their house he found all his family members sitting on the couch looking worried, and his mother was crying, then everything went fast again. Then he heard his father speak, but everything he said was inaudible, but he heard a few words. A few words that really make him think. He heard the words "Friend-Dead-Leslie-Rope broke-Drowned-Leslie's dead". Then everything went back.

"What?" Jesse said, a little groggily.

"My keys Jess, you never gave them back to me"

Finally half awake, Jesse looks down on the floor and picked up his pants and hopefully checked if the keys were in there, but nothing's there.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Jesse sat next to Leslie on the bus. Leslie immediately noticed something was wrong with her friend, "You look awful" she said "What's up?"

"I lost my Dad's keys and he needs to get to work this weekend. Now he needs to buy new keys and locks…."

"May Belle…" Leslie said.

Jesse hadn't noticed that May Belle was sitting in front of them; she was sitting really low, and then quickly sat herself up and turn around to face Leslie with a pleading look. Jesse was already in his 'Confused Look'.

"Uh Jess, I know where your Dad's keys are…."

Jesse's mouth went wide when he heard those words.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Before going to class, Leslie explained how she got the keys. When she finished her story, Jesse was in awe.

"You told her about our place??"

"Yes Jess" Leslie said "I've just notice recently that she's been following us when were going there, she only stops when we swing across"

"Really?"

"Yeah, and I think your deaf Jess, can't you here the grass being stepped on or a branch breaking behind us when were walking?"

"No, I mean yes. I 'm always just…umm…ignoring it"

Leslie was eyeing him, like she's looking through him "Ok, whatever you say".

"So you KNOW where the keys are?"

Leslie made a head gesture that its 'There'.

"Great, thank god. My Dad was ready to kill me this morning"

"We'll get it immediately after school, ok?"

"Yeah"

The bell rang, and many students were already running.

"Come on Jess or Monster Mouth will give us detention"

"I'm coming! I'm coming!"

"Come on slowpoke! You run like a girl!"

"Then what do you call yourself?" Jesse said, finally catching up.

"You just called me a tomboy a few days ago" She said with a smile "Oh my gosh Jess, you've got all the symptoms! Your deaf and keep forgetting things, you must be getting old pretty fast" She giggled.

"Well if I'm old, then you can carry all my books to class."

"Sorry no can do, I carry two times more books than you"

"Fine" They both smiled and finally, they made it in time to Monster Mouth's class.

After about forty minutes of not listening, Jess was only thinking about something, that thing he saw in his head this morning. It's like a memory, a broken memory. Like a CD that skips from time to time. I think I'm going crazy, and what was that I heard? Leslie? Dead? No it can't be. That's impossible, she's a strong person, and she can't easily break like that. Though she's a bit reckless, and she's not afraid of anything! What am I saying? I probably not think about this, it's driving me nuts! Then he heard Mrs. Myers calling his name.

"For the third time, Jesse Aarons! Listen Here!"

"Oh, uhh…sorry ma'am…" Jesse looked around for a bit and saw Leslie was stopping herself from laughing. He just rolled his eyes and turned his head back from the blackboard. Though not really listening, he wondered how Leslie does it, daydreaming in the middle of class and not get caught. Well, I think she's just like that Jesse thought.

He turned around again and looked at Leslie. She looks like she's listening but really, she's just thinking of other things than Tenses, which Mrs. Myers was talking about in front.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"It's amazing that you're still calm about everything" Leslie said as they entered the bus.

"I'm not."

"You sure look like you are though"

"Well I have a really weird feeling since I woke up this morning."

"A weird feeling? Did you ate something bad last night?"

"This is serious Les"

"Ok but you look like you're really happy"

"I don't know. I feel like, I want to spend the whole weekend with you or something like that."

Leslie was surprised when Jesse said that "Wow, thanks Jess that means a lot" There was a little pause "So what do you want to do this weekend?"

"Umm…We'll talk about that when we get the keys after that I'll come over your house."

"If it rains, I'm sure we'll get soaked, you're still coming over?"

"Well, if you want me to" He looked at her.

"If it rains, we'll both take a shower first" she smiled.

"Yeah that sounds right" Then they smiled at each other again.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Jesse finally got his father's keys back. And now they're making their way back to the rope. And they were chatting a bit.

"I had fun today Jess. All those squogers were aggressive aren't they?"

"Yeah, I thought they'll never gonna leave us alone" Jesse said.

"Jess?"

"Yeah?"

"I know something's bothering you, and please tell me about it."

"You'll just think I'm crazy"

"I already think your crazy since the day I got to know you"

Jesse laughed a little.

"So what's wrong? You can tell me anything Jess"

"Okay" Leslie looked at him "Since this morning, there's something playing in my head. Like a…memory that skips from time to time. I saw many images like my mother crying, my whole family looking worried, police cars in front of your house and a broken rope." He looked at her. He continue his story as they walk "Then I hear voices, I think It was may dad, Its was really faint, but I managed to distinguished some words like 'Drowned' 'Fell' 'Creek'" He looked at her again and said "'Leslie's dead'".

"What? Are you sure it's not a dream?"

"No, I saw it again right after English class" He looked down "I'm really worried you know that's why I want to spend the whole weekend with you" He looked at her.

Leslie was a little puzzled "So you think that I was going to Terabithia 'Alone' and the rope break and I fell and drowned?"

"Yeah that was my theory too"

"Then let's make a rule that no one comes to Terabithia alone, okay?"

"Yeah, I like that" He smiled again and Leslie smiled back.

"Well here's the rope, maybe I should go first"

"Ok, here" Leslie handed over the rope to Jesse.

Jesse swings from the other side quickly with PT on his arms and Leslie followed immediately. And the rain started to pour; Jesse put his hood up and Leslie desperately trying to cover his head with her hands. Just when they're about to run from the creek Jesse looks back at the rope and saw something. He called Leslie back and ran towards him, "Les, look at the middle of the rope…" She looked at it and saw that the a few strands of the rope were split in to two, only a few strands were attached to each other.

"Wow I'm glad it didn't break when we swing across"

"Yeah, I think I just saved both our lives" He said, smiling at Leslie.

Leslie was laughing lightly "Yeah you're my hero Jess. Now let's go back and give your dad's key back and take a shower and let's talk about what we are going to do tomorrow"

"Yeah, I guess your right"

When they made it to the dirt road, they were completely soaked, the rain poured strong now and they were about to run towards their house. They were jogging as they got closer to the divided portion on the road to Jesse's house. Leslie bid goodbye to Jesse and he answer it with another goodbye. Just when Jesse was about to run toward the divided portion of the road, he found himself staring at Leslie while she was running. He doesn't know why but there was a strong feeling in his stomach, like a lot of butterflies flapping their wings uncontrollably inside him. Leslie noticed that Jesse was still standing and she looked back at him again and said, "Hey what're you doin' there?" she giggled "I'll see you later ok? Now go before you catch a cold" she was still giggling and started to run back towards her house.

"Yeah, see you later" Jesse smiled, still staring at Leslie while she was running. By the time she was out of view, Jesse started jogging towards his house with a big wide smile across his face.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"Hello Jess, come in inside Leslie's in the kitchen drinking cocoa. I think she already made some for you" It was Mrs. Burke who answered the door.

"Thank Mrs. Burke"

Jesse walked straight to the kitchen. There, she found Leslie eating some biscuits and drinking hot cocoa, and there was another mug beside her, he knew that it was for him.

"Hey!"

"Hey to you to" Jesse said

"Jess I've been thinking and I think I know what are we going to do tomorrow"

Jesse took a sip of his cocoa; it was hot and almost burned his tongue "Tell me…" He said blowing the top of the mug.

"Why don't we make a bridge to get across the creek?"

Jesse thought it for a moment and took another sip from the mug "Yeah, I think that's cool, but we'll do if the sky is not crying, it maybe still raining tomrrow"

"Yeah maybe we'll work on it the whole spring break?"

"That'll be fun" He said smiling.

"Hey Jess, Why were you staring at me back there?"

That question took Jesse by surprise and spit some cocoa and cough a little bit, and he thinks that he just burned his upper lip then Leslie started laughing "It's okay if you say that you like me Jess, I know that stare of yours, It's the same stare the you gave Miss Edmunds on that first week of school" She took a sip of the cocoa and said "But to tell you the truth Jess, I think I like you to" She turned a little bit red and smiled at Jesse "I mean I really like you".

"I like you to Leslie, and I don't know what would happen to me if I lost you"

"Thanks Jess, for always being there for me. This past few months was really magical for me. I never thought that having a very special friend would be this so great"

"Me too" He smiled.

"So what do you want to do while you're here? We don't have a T.V. so do you want to listen on our stereo and listen to may dad's old records? Some of it is really good, ever heard of Led Zeppelin?"
