Fredrick's POV
I woke up and noticed that I was on my couch. I felt bad. Like sick. I stood up and felt even worse. Then I felt everything in my stomach go up. I bent over and threw up. Jeepers creepers.
I sat back down on the couch and sighed. I wanna die. I wanna see Sparrow. He understood me in a way. Maybe I need some fresh air. I'm gonna go to the park.
I got up and walked outside. I looked around. My family was inside eating together. Yea sure don't invite me for breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner. I'm not sure what time it is. I should check. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket. It's only 11:00 A.M. Damn. Ok. So they're eating lunch. Bitches.
I sighed and looked down. I'm gonna fucking kill myself. I walked back into the shed to get my earbuds. There was an envelope on the couch. No way. I quickly grabbed the envelope. If there's money in this I'm gonna freak out. I quickly ripped the envelope open. There was way more money in this. More than the others. I just put the money in my pocket and walked out of the shed.
I walked down the driveway and across the street. I already felt a little bit better. I looked at the shops as I was walking by Alena wasn't there. I mean it's almost Christmas so that's understandable. She loves to celebrate Christmas with her family.
I walked to the park and I didn't see anyone. Just a man sitting at one of the benches. I ignored it. There was a walking trail that went around the whole park. I usually walk around that if Essie isn't with me.
I started walking around the trail. I took a deep breath. I wanna run away. I have enough money. Especially from today. I figured out somehow there was $2,000 dollars in it. Thats more than enough. I think. I don't know. I need to figure something out.
But what about Essie and Alena. I can't leave Essie. She's a kid. And Alena has a baby and no boyfriend. I sighed. I felt tears in my eyes and quickly wiped them away. Don't cry. God dammit. Why am I like this?
As I was walking on the trail I saw a familiar face. No fucking way. That can't be. "Sparrow" I said softly. I ran over to the man in the bench and embraced him in a hug. "Oh my god. I missed you soo much" I said happily. But he didn't hug me back. I slowly looked up at him.
He looked... confused?
He looked down at me and asked "do I know you? Or do you have to wrong person?" "What are you talking about?" I asked confusingly. He shrugged. He doesn't remember. I felt tears go down my face. "Sparrow you literally saved me. You brought me back home" I said sadly. He looked at me weirdly. "How do you know my name?" He asked.
I'm gonna fucking kill myself.
"Listen you look oddly familiar but I may have seen you somewhere else" he said sweetly. I pulled myself off of him but he put his arms around my waist. "I'm sorry I disappointed you. I really am sorry" he said sweetly. I pulled his arms off of me and walked away. What the hell happened? Did he forget me?
I felt someone grab my hand. I instantly jerked away. "Leave me alone ok! I... had the wrong person" I screamed. "No you didn't. Listen. I know I said I don't remember you. But you look oddly familiar. I'm being serious" he said confused. I just shook my head. "Ok. Never mind. I'm gonna go" I said. I can't stand this. Maybe I'm going crazy. I'm not ok.
"Listen. We can work this out. Just talk to me. I'll listen. I mean I'm gonna be staying here for a while" Sparrow said to me with a big smile. Oh wow. Like that's gonna change the fact that he doesn't know me. "Ok. I guess" was all I said. I sat down and we got to talking.
Time skip~
I ended up going to Sparrow's house. I know it may seem weird because I kind of just met him but I feel close to him. He lives in a really old looking house. It's cute. I was sitting at his table. He was in his kitchen.
He grabbed a pot and some stuff. He looked at me and asked "Want some tea?" "Of course. When I went to the whole dimension thingy you gave me tea and sweets" I said with a smile. He smiled back at me. "Everything you're mentioning feels soo familiar to me. Like I've maybe had a dream about this. I don't know" he said as he started on the tea.
Sparrow handed me the tea and brought a plate of sugar cubes. Oh my god. This is soo much like the other dimension. "What are you smiling about?" Sparrow asked chuckling. I shook my head and said "it's just that in the other dimension you gave me a plate of sugar cubes. It was the same plate and everything" "aww. I swear this sounds soo familiar" he said with a chuckle.
Me and Sparrow were drinking tea at his table. It was very relaxing. All of a sudden Sparrow looked up and asked "so um do you want-" "cookies. Sorry. Specifically sugar cookies with rainbow sprinkles on top?" I asked. Sparrow shook his head and laughed. "You are just full of surprises. But actually yes" he said chuckling. He opened the metal container on the table and there were cookies inside.
No way.
We both ate a few cookies and talked. Just really about everything that happened. Then of course the question about my family came up. "So do you have other family that lives here or do you live alone?" He asked. I know I put my trust in Sparrow but I shouldn't tell him. He might be trying to get info on me. But then again. I don't think he will really care.
I took a deep breath and spoke. "Well I still live with my parents. But I feel like they don't care about me. I mean I started living in their shed. I know it sounds weird but I have a little sister that I don't want to leave. I love her. I mean I have multiple siblings but she's the only one I've ever gotten along with. I really just haven't left because I care about my sister" I said. I really just said all that. Dammit. I always do that. Some asks me a simple question and I tell them my whole fucking life story.
I just sighed and looked down. "Oh my god!!!" I heard Sparrow said. He sounded happy. I looked up and he was smiling. He's smiling. Why is he smiling? "I remember you. I remember you saying that you lived in a shed. God I feel like such and idiot. Im soo soo soo sorry" he said sympathetically.
No way.
I got up fairly quick. I ran to the other side of the table and hugged Sparrow. He hugged me back tightly. He remembers me.
