THE BOAT

oh god no...

I sat over his body my hands drenched in blood, my tears landing on his lifeless face... He was gone...

                                                                                           ...

A loud gasp escaped my lips as I shot up in bed clutching the necklace that decorated my neck, gasps filled the room as i regained my breath my startled dog Stella nudging me to make sure i was alright.

I reached out a shaky hand petting her soft fur as my breathing called down... Another nightmare.

I picked up my phone to look at the time 11:05 AM, it was time for me to wake up anyway. I swung my legs over the edge of my bed shivers going up my spine as my feet hit the cold marble. I took my time getting up and dragging myself to the bathroom taking a shower washing away the sweat that had coated my tan skin from the nightmare.

Stepping out of the bathroom to find my roommate, and only friend Connie awake, which was weird considering he was at a party last night... strange. i walked up to him to find him gulping back a large cup of water as if it was his last time drinking.

"Tough night?" I asked as i walked over to the fridge getting out some eggs to make breakfast.

He put the glass down gasping to catch his breath as he looked over at me "Horrible night, we only stayed at the part for like ten minutes- Yeager got in a fight"

I nodded along as a put the skillet onto the stove lighting up under it, as if i even knew who this Yeager guy is. i gently cracked in two eggs for myself cooking them before my eyes flickered over to the bald man that was speaking.

"Jess... i have something to ask you" He says as he gently fidgets with one of the silver rings that decorated his fingers looking at me with an almost scared expression.

I waited a bit for him to ask me the question but when he didn't get on with it, i glared over at him my brown eyes sharp enough to cut a man. "Spit it out, Springer"

He scoffed at me glare and my tone his eyes flickering to the half empty cup of water infront of him then back a me. "i was thinking if you would let me borrow the boat"

My brows furrowed as he asked the question, i always let him take my boat to throw parties and gatherings, so it confused me why he was so scared to ask me this time. "Have i ever told you no? Of course you can take it". I said as a plated my eggs walking back to the fridge to get myself something to drink.

"i want you to come with me this time, i want you to meet my friends- please Jess just this once". He begged pushing himself away from the counter walking over to me leaning against the fridge beside me.

I froze up as he mentioned me getting on the boat, my hand squeezed the glass bottle of the orange juice so hard i was afraid it would shatter. "Connie you know-"

'"I know Jess, it reminds you of your father put thats in the past, it been four years of you isolating yourself its time to let go, just please this once". He says as he gently took the bottle of juice away from me his hand coming to rest on my shoulder.

I took in this words and sighed looked down at my feet before i looked back up at him, i couldnt say no to him this fucker had me wrapped around his pinky. "Fine, just this once Connie". I say as I pulled away from him walking back to my breakfast.

A big boyish smile etched its way onto his lips as he set the juice down infront of me. "Be ready by one alright?"

I nodded softly a took a bite of my breakfast looking down at the marble counter top as Connie walked away the memories i had on that boat my appetite suddenly vanishing, i got up and threw away my  breakfast trying my hardest to keep my food down after i recalled that day.
