"Sweetie wake up." I open my eyes and see I'm in my room, my old room. Moms sitting on the bed with a smile on her face. "You're sleeping with books again."
I sit up and rub my eyes. When I look around I realize I had fallen asleep with the Potter books surrounding me. I smile. "I couldn't put them down."
She laughs. "Well you love the movies so much it doesn't surprise me that you would love the books just as much."
"Maybe even more. They are crazy good."
She smiles and nods. "I could imagine." She stands. "Come on. Time for dinner."
Something wasn't right. When she walked she kind of shimmered. "Ma..."
She turns back to me. "Yea?"
"This isn't real...is it?"
Her face kind of drops into sadness and she shakes her head. "I'm afraid not."
Tears fill my eyes. "Are...are you okay?...Where you are now I mean."
She smiles. "I'm fine. We all are." She walks back to my bed, picks up one of the books and looks at the cover page. "When you get to us you'll be able to make up your own world." She looks back to me. "You can make Hogwarts real."
I'm quiet for a few seconds. "What world did you make?"
She looks around my room. "This." She says. "I let myself continue the life I should have had."
"This is where you live?"
She nods. "We all do. We made it together. You can dream your own worlds after life. You can roam every world you thought of."
"So Jeff and dad go between dream worlds?" She nods. "Why don't you."
She half smiles and leans closer, kissing me on the head. "Because I'm waiting for you." Then she walks away.
"Mom!" I yell. But she doesn't turn around. "Mom wait!"
"Jessie!" My eyes shoot open and I bolt up so fast I get dizzy.
"Oh thank God." I hear someone say in relief.
I put my hand to my head, feeling my head throb in pain. Slowly my vision starts to come back. When it did people are crowding around me, they were a little blurry but I see Noel is right in front of me. He has a cloth in his hand, it's covered in blood. "You okay?" He leans to the side and grabs something. When he looks back at me he hands me my glasses. One of the lenses were cracked through the middle.
I'm a little confused but I put them on. I start to look around and I see Mona and Sean staring at me, even Ben was there. The triplets were giving me concerned looks from behind them. Maya was standing a bit farther down from the rest of us. Then I noticed Spencer and Emily sitting next to me.
"Mom?" I slowly says as I look around for her.
"Wow. She really got the wind knocked out of her." I hear a voice say from somewhere behind me.
"Oh come on. I didn't even hit her that hard." The voice sounded familiar.
"Shut up Rachel. You had no right to bud in that way." Noel says.
"She attacked Amber. What did you want me to do?"
"I told her she couldn't come. What happened is her own fault." He looks at me for a second. "So do me a favor and follow your friends lead. Get out." I turn and realize quickly that Ambers best friend Rachel was leaning up against a wall all the way in the back. She had an unconvinced look on her face as she watched me.
"What happened?" I attempt to get up. I could tell you right now that my stomach was not feeling the greatest.
"Whoa." Spencer says. "Don't get up okay? Give yourself a minute."
"But what happened?"
"You don't remember?" Em says.
I shake my head, but quickly regret it because the room started to spin again. I grab my head for support.
"Are you sure you're okay?" I hear Sean's voice.
I look over at him and slowly nod. I was trying not to shake my head with the headache I was getting. "I'm fine. I just would like to know what's going on."
"I kicked your peewee ass."
I looked up at Rachel and gave her a look. "You and your friends need to leave me alone."
"Listen Four Eyes." I grit my teeth as she said that. "You started it. I just ended it."
"By knocking her out?" Spencer says. Her voice was calm. This was never a good sign. She was doing her best to hold in her anger but I could see her temper rising.
"And giving her a black eye." Emily adds.
"You what!" I got myself up this time. I was able to get a few steps to Rachel before Blake grabs me. I became a bit unstable as he did and collapsed. My ankle hurt a bit.
Blake holds me up. "Did you break something?"
"Please say she did." Rachel buds in. "Would make me oh so happy."
"Out!" Noel screams. "Get out of my cabin!" He storms away and I'm just able to see Rachel run out the front door before Sean grabs Noel by the arm.
"Relax."
Noel takes a deep breath then turns. "Please tell me you didn't drive."
"No. I did." Spencer tells him.
He nods. "Well, parties over. Whoever is too wasted to drive or doesn't feel like heading home at this time then you are welcome to stay." He walks towards the kitchen looking really pissed.
Spencer and Emily both grab me from Blake and help get me outside. I was limping a bit. "Someone should take a look at your ankle." Em says.
"What someone should do is tell me what happened."
"You really don't remember?" She asks.
I shake my head. "I remember seeing Amber but that's about it."
"You hit her." Spence says.
My face goes into scared shitless mood as I started to get an image of me pounding my fist to her face. "Holy shit. I'm so screwed when I get back to school."
Spencer opens the door for me. "We'll worry about that on Monday."
All of a sudden my stomach started to ache even more. "I don't feel so good." Next thing I know I'm hunching over and puking up beer. Someone's hand rubs my back as I continued. It was nasty. I've obviously thrown up before but it was so much worse than I remember. I started to gag from the smell and threw up some more.
"It's okay." Em says. "Let it all out."
When I was done I got helped into the passenger seat, struggling to catch my breath a bit. Then Spence came back with a bottled water. "Here."
I grab it and took a sip. "You're parents are going to kill me."
"You really think they are going to notice?" I give her a sad look. "They don't even care what I'm going through. Barley noticed what you went through, still going through because they have their minds wrapped around their job." I look away, tears slide down my face. "Getting drunk will be nothing to them."
"Spence." Emily whispers. "Stop."
They both look at me and I see Spencer bend down from the corner of my eye. "I'm sorry Jessie. I...I didn't mean that."
I shake my head. "When I move out..." I look back at her. "You're coming with me."
She didn't say anything but by the look on her face she may have been silently agreeing with me. Then she walks off around the car and gets into the drivers seat.
"See you later." Em says and gives me a hug. Then she closes the door for me and we take off.
