" I find it funny, and a coincidence that they were both her. Have you been following me?"

"As a matter of fact, no, I come here every Saturday morning. As I recall I haven't seen you here ever. He said, with a sad smile"

" I have been coming here since my 1st week in town, but I've been dealing with some.... Issues and haven't had a chance to come by."

" Well, I'm very happy that you're enjoying it here."

" I guess you could say that... I had an awful experience. You know I was lied to by my good friend. She said with an attitude."

" Huney I didn't lie to you, I was just trying to help you..."

Cutting him off, I said," I don't care anymore, since this place is significant to us both, we will have boundaries."

"What do you mean? Like build a wall so you can't see me?"

" No but I will suggest you stay on your side of the hill, and I'll stay on my side, and we won't acknowledge each other."

" What are we 5? I don't understand why this is such an issue, we can get over this bump."

" NO, we can't Tassian, I'm hurt, angry and honestly every time I see you, the pain gets worse."

" Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, but if it will make you happy, I will respect your wishes."

" Thank you, so I will go to this side of the mountain, and you can stay on this side. Don't cross my side and don't speak to me, I said in a low authoritative voice"

" Yes mam, he said respectfully."

I Turned around and walked to the edge of the hill. I sprawled out the blanket and started working on my studies. On the front side of the small mountain, I heard music playing. trying to ignore it, I lit the herbs, letting them develop a smoke around me. I attempted to calm my mind, but the music he was playing was making it hard to concentrate. The lyrics sang, " You say I am loved, when I can't feel a thing, you say I am strong when I think I am weak. You say I am held when I am falling short, and when I don't belong you say I am yours."

The lyrics were beautiful, and so touching. I could feel my heart being pulled and tugged. The song was Clearly speaking about someone loving someone so much that they see all these wonderful things in them. It was probably just Tassian trying to make her feel guilty for leaving. I turned back to my reading, focusing on clearing my mind and emotions.

I decided to head home after an hour of speaking to Zeus the god of thunder, my head felt heavy and had started to ache. Part of it was the music. After Tassian left, the park started playing Christian songs, requested by some youth group doing a service there. As I returned home, the small ache went away. I took some medicine just in case and flopped down on the couch. My head spinning, I decided to finish The Outsiders.

I was running, being chased by something, the darkness covering me in all directions. The air surrounding me felt cold and moist. I couldn't see anything, I was utterly alone, as I always had been. I kept hearing footsteps surrounding me. Backing into a corner I slouched down, covering my head. Claws scratching, clawing at me. I could hear screams and cried for help. Alone in the dark I screamed. As I looked into the darkness, yelling, a face appeared, it was disoriented, out of place. It had teeth that looked rotted and dead. I stared back at it, fear surrounded me, I knew that it was fear, fear of man. It was laughing at me, and as I stood to run, it began chasing me, I screamed for help.
