Chapter Four
I woke up to my alarm on phone, and this morning just seemed like the one of my birthday… I walked over to my dresser and didn't like what I saw. I look very pale, more than usually; My chocolate brown eyes had bags under my eyes, from my sleepless nights, every night. I had lost a bit of weight since the night when he disappeared from the face of the earth. It hurt to just think of his name sometimes.
I was dressed in ten minutes and had my school bag in hand, and was walking out of my bedroom door. I walked past the kitchen and opened the front door before my mum called me back in. I walked back in and saw that my mum was sitting down and had a couple of pamphlets on the table. I had a good idea what this as about.
My mother waved her hand for me to sit down.
My mum started talking, and I knew the moment she opened her mouth this wouldn't be a good thing.
"Honey, I know you've been through a lot this past few weeks, but I think it might help you to talk to someone" she said grabbing my hand.
"What like a shrink?" I asked
"Yes, it might help you, with your grieving" she told me.
"Grieving? What grieving? You grieve when somebody you love dies, and I'm pretty sure nobody has died," I yelled at her, just wanting to just get out of the house.
My mother had that look on her face when, our neighbor, Mrs. Brown came over to our house when we first moved in and she was talking by the minute and my mum said something wrong and she went off… My own mother thought I was crazy.
"You know what, I have to go I'm going to be late" I said pushing back my chair and out the door and into my car, which I got for my birthday.
Instead of driving to school, I drove straight past and keep on going.
I didn't even notice, but I drove myself to where the car accident was.
I already had the keys of the ignition and was walking to where the car crash was. There was tire marks in the grass from the car rolling down the hill, but that was about it.
Behind where the car crashed, was a forest, I've never noticed it before. Well I have but never really gave it a second thought.
My feet started pulling me towards the forest and I wasn't stopping them.
It was nice out here, from all the rain the forest looked magical.
I keep walking for who knows how long; I tripped over a rock and landed right in water.
I didn't even notice there was a lake. I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going.
Luckily where I fell in was shallow so only up to my ankles got wet, good thing I was wearing shorts. Then I first noticed how beautiful it was here. It was more than just a river, the water looked beautiful, sparkling from the sun, there was a waterfall and lovely green plants everywhere.
Its something you would expect to find on an island. I guess that's one of the good things about living in a small town in the middle of nowhere.
I took of my shoes because they were wet and left them on a near by rock. I started to walk deeper into the water; it was only about up to my knees though.
Then what's when I first notice it, well someone under the waterfall, it looked like they were using it for a shower.
Who the hell would be out in the middle of the forest? Oh right, me…
I started to walk closer to, and the closer I got I could tell that it was a man, I couldn't tell much from his back, but he had brown hair and was very tall and lean, very muscular.
The water was now up to my waist but I didn't care, I was too memorized by this man. I was only about 3 feet away from him when he stopped moving. His back went all tense and then he slowly turned around.
Then I fainted.
