I awoke and showered the next day, like every other day. And like every other day, Mike called me down for breakfast at 5 am.
"Good morning Bella." A smile lit up his face and I returned it, my hair still dripping with water. "How did you sleep?"
"Great, I love when it rains." I cut into the waffles that he presented to me. My stomach growled in anticipation.
"Did you forget to eat or something yesterday?" He laughed and I let myself smile again. Mike had become a solid and reliable friend in my life. I wasn't sure how I would have ever survived without him. A few seconds of silence passed before he spoke again. "Jessica and I were planning a date night. I was wondering if you would be okay alone tonight?"
I glanced up at him. It was rare he went on dates. I didn't mind. We weren't a couple. I considered him more of a brother then anything.
"I'll be fine." I finally managed before going back to my food. We finished the meal in silence and I began the clean up as he left for school. Another day alone with my thoughts, and an even longer night awaited me. The image of the guy form yesterday flooded my mind. The mystery of it all had my head in a daze. I considered going back out into the woods, but if I went looking for him, what would I find? That he was a figment of my imagination? That he was a crazy dangerous stalker.
Instead I settled on returning to my computer and answering the usual questions. Then I found it. A silent reply to last nights blog entry.
'Not all scars show, not all wounds heal. Sometimes you can't see the pain that someone feels.
Are you hiding your pain?- E'
I stared at throe words for a long time. I couldn't calculate an answer. We where talking in riddles now? Cute quotes you could find on the internet? Who the hell was this "E"? Questions flooded my mind. I fought tears back considering each reply and then finally settled on one.
'When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.'
I stood after submitting it, and then dragged my feet to the phone.
"Hello?" His voice was rough over the phone and yet warmth seemed to flood over me.
"I need you to come over."
"What's wrong?" There was worry in his voice. "Did Mike do something?"
"He's going out tonight."
"Oh," A pause as he considered this. "I'll be over as soon as I can."
"I'll be outside in the woods."
"I'll find you, Don't worry about it Bella."
"Thanks Jacob."
