Cole slowly woke up with a headache, feeling groggy from what he experienced. He sat up in his bed and felt his neck, it seemed perfectly fine with nothing that bugged him.
As he looked around, he was shocked to see his room. He jumped out of bed and felt the floor, he looked over at his drawers. He opened them and rummaged through them; all his clothes were there.
He looked over at the telescope in his room, eventually looking through the glass and up at the starry night.
There was a warm feeling that brewed while looking at the stars, everything from just how the sky looked to the different patterns in the sky.
He stopped looking at the stars and looked at his desk. The field trip permission slip was on his desk. The signature was on there with the smell of the ink being fresh.
He looked behind at his door, he slowly opened the door and peeked out. He rushed to Jessie's room and tapped on her door repeatedly, eventually she opened the door.
"Cole what do you want? It's late at night! Let me go to bed!"
"Jessie please, I'm having nightmares and...I don't want to be alone in the dark tonight...please? It will only be tonight, and then I'll be back in my room. Please, I won't stay up or wake you up."
She sighed before motioning Cole to come in, inside her room was warm compared to his, there was a bean bag in her room that she sat on, putting a blanket over herself.
"Jess you don't have to, here! Here's some space."
Cole moved over on the bed, he put his glasses on the nightstand nearby; Jessie joined him. They both looked up at the ceiling.
They both covered up under the blanket. Cole slowly glanced at her.
"Sis, can I ask you one thing?" Jessie looked over at him.
"Sure Cole, what's new?"
"What would you do, if the odds are always stacked against you?"
"What do you mean? Something going on Mom and I don't know? Is it that Joey friend of yours?"
"No no! I'm just curious, and want to know from you. That's all."
Jessie paused slightly before pondering, she looked back at Cole.
"Cole you're a smart kid. But you have a gift that shines more, you may not realize."
Cole pondered and got closer to his sister, looking up for an answer.
"Cole you're resilient. Just like us, more than most. And that will take you further than most, okay?"
"R- really? You mean that?"
"Why wouldn't I tell my little bookworm the truth?" She smiled lightly.
Cole hugged her and started to sob in her arms, she pat his back and tried to shush him.
"It's been a long night, try to go back to bed okay?"
Cole nodded while wiping the tears, he hugged her and slowly closed his eyes.
"You really thought you were back home huh? No, welcome to reality again!"
Cole opened his eyes and stood up; he wasn't in Jessie's room.
