High For This

Chapter 11

 The sun is out and is a fresh start for Jamie. He is taking a walk around the city park with coffee. " Woah, sorry bud." A blonde-fit man running in the park crashed with Jamie. " I'm okay, it's fine." The blonde man introduced himself. " I'm Ace and I work here as a personal trainer. Here is my

card if you need it someday." Jamie was so caught up staring at his body that the card fell. " Sorry, I got it." The blonde man laughed and went back to running.

Jamie put the card in his pocket and kept walking till he noticed a church. A very nice church in the corner of a street. He decided to walk in after so long of not going into one. No one seems to be there except for someone in the back.

" Hello, anyone here," Jamie called and a man stepped out from the back.

" Yes, welcome son." It was the Pastor of the church. A mysterious man who no one knows anything about. People have said those dark green eyes of his are hiding a bad secret. He is handsome and not too convincing as a pastor.

" Hi, I kind of need someone to talk to." The pastor took a seat and so did Jamie. " Tell me, what's troubling you." He stretches his arm behind Jamie but does not punch him. " For starters my job. You see I was working for a company, you might know them. The Valdrogen company and I quit. The reasons why would have you kicked me out of here? Anyway, I'm now working for the Bronson's company which is the enemy of the Valdrogen's. Now, I'm in a dilemma because things are bad now because of me. And now my dad is freaking out and is telling me to leave the city."

The Pastor cleared his throat and moved his arm to his leg. " You need to stay away from those people. I would listen to your father." Jamie moved his eyes up to the pastor's eyes. He noticed something that made him remember someone. " Pastor, you remind me of someone." The pastor stood up and out of nowhere claimed to need to leave.

And right at that moment, Jamie remembered who. The pastor reminded him of Jackson. He said it in a low voice but not enough for not to be heard. The pastor stopped walking and turned back to look at Jamie. " Why do you look scared?" he asked but the pastor walked away fast.

The same mannerisms and looks he had as Jackson did. Jamie ran out of the church. He felt sick thinking about what happened that night. The memory was coming back vividly. Jamie had come to the realization and decision.

To leave this city behind a begin in a new one far from the memory of Jackson. Where would he go next? He walked back to the park and saw someone he knew. Riley with a bag walks next to the guy from earlier.

" Hi, Riley."

Riley walked to hug him and introduced him to Ace.

" This is Jamie. He and I used to work together. He change me for the Bronson's."

Ace laughed and introduced himself again to Jamie.

" Today is Monday and I don't work," said Riley

" What about the day after that?, asked Ace sarcastically.

Riley laughed. " Yeah, I'm two weeks off. After, the Valdrogen's take their vacation. They give the rest of us two weeks off too." Riley said taking a seat on a bench.

" Yeah, we are going on our family vacation. Back to our roots to a not very known town." Ace

said faking excitement.

" Don't listen to him it's nice. I would ask you to join us but don't you work today?"

Jamie took a sit on the bench next to Riley.

" I've quit. Yesterday to be exact and I'm looking for a new fresh start. If it's not too much, I would love to join you guys." Jamie thought maybe that town could be his new beginning.
