Chapter 4
"Oh come on! It's not that bad! Please not be too late!" I heard a boy's voice call out. I thought it was Jamie at first, but as I came to I realized he was older, a little bit older than me. My eyes slowly fluttered open, and immediately the bright sun and snow overwhelmed my eyes.
Sighing, I pushed myself up, my weak arms struggling. Realizing how cold I was when I saw the gap of ice in the pond, I whispered. "I fell in?"
I still had no idea what was going on when I got a rather big hug from Jamie, my groggy eyes growing wider. I chuckled slightly.
"Hey, you!" Jamie looked up and then looked at some air.
"You saved me, and Jack Frost saved you!" He grinned and laughed, getting up and started jumping around. I had just woken up, from almost drowning apparently, and Jamie's sudden movement caused my head to start whirling around. It ached as I tried to hold it, and try to get the annoying banging to go away.
I hate headaches.
"Jamie, calm down. She just woke up." I heard a boy half jokingly half serious say.
The boy started laughing when I made a puzzled face.
I turned my head around and looked for the boy, but to no reveal, his laughter continuing to echo in my head.
"What the-?" I started to ask when Jamie grabbed my hand and placed it on something.
"Is this…. Hair?" I looked at Jamie, who could obviously see this "Jack Frost."
Jamie nodded, biting his lip and covering his mouth with his hands to stop or hide his laughter.
I scoffed. "Oh go on, if it's that funny, let it out!" I taunted.
Jamie's face grew red, and he burst out laughing.
I sighed leaning back and collapsing on the snow, part exhaustion and part confusion.
I heard a soft chuckle… before I was out.
… Again.
When I awoke again, I was on a park bench, my head on the table. "W…What?"
"YOU ALMOST DROWNED! YOU COULD HAVE…. Well YOU KNOW!" I realized my best friend was on the other side of the picnic table gesturing to Jamie. Yes, Stephanie. I know. I could have died.
I sighed.
"Oh please stay awake, Lizzy!" Jamie called, nervously nudging my elbow. I was trying to stay awake, but it was rather difficult. My body was exhausted.
I was almost out again, when I heard something quickly move, and then a splat of coldness on my face. I stood up quickly, gasping, and nervously breathing in quick, short breaths.
"what was that?" Stephanie asked, shocked, looking at Jamie, silently accusing him.
"It wasn't me! It was Jack Frost!" Jamie said pointing to a gap of air.
"Oh! So sorry Jack." Stephanie said, moving places.
Sighing, I picked up a thermos filled with hot chocolate that Stephanie set down for me.
"You don't have to move. You weren't sitting on him before. Jamie said he was at the end of the table." I said nonchalantly.
Stephanie and Jamie both looked up at me, eyes wider.
"Oh of course! Oops!" Stephanie had no idea what was going on, I'd imagine. But for whatever reason I believed Jamie.
I stood up. "Sorry guys. But I'm going home to bed okay? How about a rain check?"
They both nodded and smiled, waving good bye.
As I started walking away, I heard Jamie ask Steph what rain check meant. I smiled. Glad he's not scared anymore.
I still felt like I was being watched, and it was scaring me. The safe feeling that I had yesterday was completely gone. Vanished.
I was cold. Wet. And terrified.
And what happened today for whatever reason, reminded me of my family, and my missing them made me feel even more terrible.
Enjoy! ^^
