Out of the Blue

Bring Back the Memories (part 2)

Lea’s POV

Me, Thalia, Caylah, Nathan and Paige were sitting around my room. We all were playing ‘Truth or Dare’. Nathan made up something saying that we were gonna have to wear some of our clothes back when we were sixteen. Of course – I thought my clothes were all in Bolton. But Paige kept some of mine and Thalia’s clothes in her drawer before they were forced to go to Bolton because my dad was there. I was wearing my violet oversized shirt, and my mid-thigh shorts. What? These were the usual clothes I wore when we all were just gonna play simple games like this. Somehow – I noticed this one. The original friends in Abbeydale were all together again. Nathan’s hair was messed up like he was sixteen again. I felt like we were back at the year of 2009. I closed my eyes and saw another vision of us in my room again playing ‘Truth or Dare’. Caylah’s hair was in a side-part braid. Paige’s hair was tied in a pin back braid. Thalia’s hair was down and was pulled back with a black hairband. Mine was divided in two. 

“Where’s Melody? I thought she said she’ll be here. Also – I’m saying something before we start. Nathan isn’t still aloud here in the house and…”

The door burst open revealing a woman with long blonde hair and a gun in her hand. I flashed back to reality and woke up on Nathan’s lap.

“You lost consciousness an hour ago?”

What does he mean an hour ago? In my dream it was only one minute. Nathan looked at me with worry in his eyes.

“Nate, are you okay? You look worried”

Paige gave me a worried smile before turning back to him.

“What was the vision now Lea? This is the second time?”

The three of them gave me a confused look.

“Since we were in LA and the boys were all talking about their concert in Abbeydale. I’ve started having these visions about my past. Sure – you all know that but it was different. We all were playing ‘Truth or Dare’ in my room when suddenly Caroline burst inside”

“What were we wearing?”

“The same clothes”

We all looked at each other and remained silent.

“Those aren’t normal visions. They look like they just happened in the past but they are gonna happen in the present time. I’ve realized that Lea. Back when I dreamt about dad saving us from that horrible monster, Caroline, it soon happened five minutes later”

Nathan gave me a strange look and looked at the door.

“You mean sooner or later. Caroline’s gonna burst into that door?”

I shrugged.

“Maybe but we don’t know. We better go out of here – it’s too creepy”

I was sitting beside Nathan on his bed rubbing the picture frame with my thumb. He laid down beside me and looked at the picture frame

“I missed being sixteen. Until now – I wished that we were still together when we were sixteen”

He turned his head to face me and kiss my forehead.

“If you were here – you wouldn’t be forgiving me for going away without my friends knowing. Thalia, Paige and Caylah didn’t find out about anything since I was discovered by Jayne Collins”

I put my arms around him embracing him in a hug and inhaling his scent.

Nathan’s POV

I rubbed her hands with my thumb making circles on it. Lea’s had was rested on my chest, we were talking about her being in college in three weeks. Okay – the truth is that I had something in mind. I’m not gonna tell you anything – it will spoil the surprise. Lea smiled at me sweetly her hand was still tangled with mine.

“Are you okay, Nate?”

“I’m fine”

She stood up and walked out the door. It was a short period of time until Jay, Thalia, Caylah and Max went in my room while pushing Lea back inside.

“We’re here. You two couples aren’t like any of us – you always get out of each other’s sight”

We both looked at Max and Caylah.

“What? Is this the first time you knew about mine and Caylah’s relationship?”

We all nodded and sat down on my bed. 

“Anyways, Max – Jay, can we talk alone. Call the rest of the boys were having a private talk”

Tom and Siva ran inside and sat down beside me on the bed.

“Eavesdropping?”

They both nodded and pushed the girls out the door.

“So baby brother – what did you wanna talk about?”

I looked at Tom and gave them all a look that we all were using when we’re telling each other that – forget about it. I’ll tell you later.

“Oh my God, are you serious Nate?”

I nodded over Jay’s question and stood up.

“Don’t tell her please – it’s a surprise. I’ll do it at the end of her college years”

“P.S – spend more time with her. You don’t want to end up like me and Michelle”

Caylah went inside and looked at us.

“You were eavesdropping weren’t you?”

She nodded and sat down beside me.

“Nate – what were you all talking about? Don’t worry I’m not telling her”

“I’m gonna…”

Lea’s POV

The three of us were back in my old-attic-bedroom. Thalia was scanning my drawers which were filled with my father’s stuff. I joined her and looked at the other drawer. I saw a piece of paper folded in a picture frame. I unfolded it and saw something written on it saying:

‘Des Collins’s will’

I dropped the picture frame and read the will further. Paige and Thalia looked at me as soon as I let go of the frame. They approached me and covered their mouths with their hands; our tears were falling from our cheeks. I crashed on the floor still panicking. Until all of a sudden – I didn’t feel myself breath anymore. It was hard to breath and I was already shaking. Paige and Thalia were looking down at me.

“Lea, are you okay? Eleanor, are you alright? Lea – Ellie – El, are you Ok? El, can you hear me?”

My eyes were suddenly shut. I couldn’t feel myself moving, I couldn’t feel myself breath. My body was numb.

I felt a hand on my back and under my knees. Sounds of steps were ringing as I felt like I was being moved. Something was placed on my mouth and my nose – by that time – I could actually feel myself breath again.

A needle was pressed on my forearm. I was unconscious but I knew what was happening. I’ve had plenty of panic attacks. First was when I was in sixth form – it was when I heard that I unconsciously stabbed someone and nearly killing her. Second was when Tom nearly drowned two years ago. Third was this. Why does the past keep repeating itself?
