Hey guys, I'm so sorry about neglecting you as long as I have. I know this is just a small chapter, but I wanted to post as soon as possible. I can't really say when I'll update again, because school is crazy right now, with tests and stuff... Please review!
I kept my eyes on the ground as I walked to Bonnie's door. I rung the bell and made myself as small as possible, I felt guilty for neglecting Bonnie as long as I had.
'Elena? What's wrong?'
'Oh, Bonnie. I'm so, so sorry for neglecting you for so long. I've been such a bad friend to you, but I promise you I'll be a good friend from now on.' I was crying now, thinking about those five years I threw away, years I could've spent with Bonnie.
I listened to Elena's apology, I could see the guilt eating her away. I threw my arms around her, trying to soothe her. 'Elena, don't worry about it. It was a hard time for you, I know. Now come in, I think we both need a cup of tea now.' She let out a small laugh, 'yeah, I guess you're right.'
I led Elena to the couch and went to the kitchen myself. I thought of the situation, waiting for the water to boil. Her eyes betrayed her, I could see she really had no idea what to do now. That she hoped talking to me would get her an idea how to move on. I did know talking would help, but I was a bit insecure about myself. Could I help her? I guess talking to her was all I could do.
I walked over to the couch and put the two cups of tea on the table. I took a seat next to Elena, taking her hand.
'Elena, it's important to share your feelings. Talk to me.'
'Yeah, I know it is, that's why I'm here. Well, you know about the accident, what happened, what I felt then. Ever since the accident I'm having this dreams. Dreams about the accident, about someone rescuing me. I know that to be true because that night I was lying on the ground were my parents were drowning. In the dreams I see flashes of sky blue eyes, full of concern, for me I guess. I have the feeling I will be stuck with this dreams, with these feelings if I don't get to meet, to talk with my savior.'
I was crying now, silent tears streaming down my face. It still hurt too much to talk about the accident.
I was watching Elena and even from where I sat I could see the grief rolling off of her. The tears only enhanced it. Listening to her story, I knew she was right. She had to talk to her savior otherwise she couldn't live with her grief. Everyone was worried about her, something had to be done about it. I decided there was no room for consoling now, we had to have a serious talk.
'Elena, I know you're right. You have to talk to him or her to get over your grief, to be your normal self again. Everyone is worried about you and I don't want to feel the need to be worried about you. I know I can help you. Do you still remember your dreams?'
'Yes, I do. I can't stop thinking about them. What do you want me to do?'
'I think my Ouija bord will work best. You can just take my hand and think of your dreams, and especially about your savior. What you know about him or her, what you felt when you were near. Everything related. If I'm concentrating hard enough the images will flow to me and my connection to the Ouija bord will cause the Ouija bord to spell out letters.
But first I have to ask, do you really want this? After this you will be connected to the Ouija bord as well.'
'Yes, Bonnie. I really want this. I want my grief to be over, I want everything to be cleared out.'
'Okay, we will start after dinner.'
Dinner was quiet. I was thinking about my dreams and concentrating on who I wanted to find. I guess Bonnie was thinking about the Ouija bord and the coming ritual.
After dinner we got the Ouija bord and sat in the living room.
'Elena, before we do this, are you sure? The Ouija bord is not something to take lightly, especially when you're connected to it, which you will afterwards.'
She really was worried about me. It felt good that someone really cared about me, didn't want anything to happen to me.
'I know, but I can't go on living like this. I can't keep having these dreams my whole life. I want everything to be out in the open, so I can move on with my life.'
She nodded at me and got the Ouija bord.
I was beginning to feel nervous.
What if it didn't work out?
