Transitions of a lost soul

(Chapter 20: Searching for answers)

Liza has been the only person I've talked to about Chris's unusual behavior, but she still thinks there's nothing wrong with how he's acting. I decided to figure this out on my own then, not even thinking of asking my other friends what they believe is going on. I called Chris numerous times to see where he was and why he left without letting me know...all I received was a voicemail back to back. This only started happening when I had those dreams about Brandon...What did Chris know that I didn't know? Did he even leave that night?

After hours of trying to contact him, He picks up my call. " I needed some time alone, Jar. I wasn't feeling like myself." he said to me. " It doesn't matter Chris, You took everything with you. It looks like you want more than just some time alone." He assured me that his only reason was to be by himself, but it sounded all too strange to me. " You know what, ever since I had those dreams, you have been nothing but cold and distant towards me. What the fuck is your problem?" The minute I asked him that question, He hung up the phone. My gut was telling me what I was thinking...He knows what happened to Brandon.

I got up from my bed and texted Liza to call me and that it was urgent. She answered and I bombarded her with the conversation I had with Chris and how he hung up on me. It was silent for a couple seconds until she decided to speak: " For him to hang up on you when you asked him that, now I see the strangeness in his actions. If he comes back, you need to get to the bottom of it. Regardless of how you felt about him, you cared for him deeply at one point so you should know the truth." I thanked her for her advice and for seeing that I wasn't going crazy in how Chris was behaving. We got off the phone after a couple of minutes and I decided to rest...He's gonna have to come here sooner or later and when he does, I'm getting my information one way or another.

He didn't come back for three days and left me nothing but voicemails that were filled with excuses on his whereabouts. I didn't want to talk to him about this situation over the phone because he can hang up on me like he did before. I wanted to know face to face..Brandon wouldn't just appear in my dreams without a proper reason as to why. What he said to me, isn't something made up..I wasn't in his shoes..I couldn't see who killed him but he probably did. Chris probably saw who did it and maybe even knew this person, otherwise why act so weird about it and be tight-lipped? My head started to spin as I felt overwhelmed with emotions. My heart felt like it was racing through time and my body started to heat up, I just wanted this to come to an end.
