Changes: A New Life Book 2

Chapter 24: Friend?

All week, I have had terrible nightmares about Vincent.

Aren't these pills supposed to be helping?

I've been seeing Ms. Johnson all week and his absence is still causing me to grieve.

Hannah and I are supposed to be going out, trying to get my spirit up, but I just can't anymore. I don't want to leave his bed or even breathe. But I still agreed to go down to Joe's pub for some lunch.

Hannah came at about noon, I slipped on a pair of jeans, Vincent's sweat shirt, and my hair up in a pony tail. I put on a pair of flip flips and walked to her car.

"You look better.", she said smirking as she got out of her car.

"I surely don't feel any better.", I said walking to the passenger side.

"Have your nightmares gotten better?", she asked me.

I totally forgot she has been in on all of my sessions so far. She did say she was going to help me through all of this. So I guess this is just the start.

I stepped into the car and said, "No, they just have gotten worse. Everytime  I wake up, I'm very nauseous."

"Hopefully they get better soon, I hate seeing you like this.", she said. I nodded and we drove to the pub/ restaurant.

"I would like to have the steak salad with ranch.", said Hannah.

"And you?", the waitress asked me.

"I would like to have the grilled chicken, with curly fries.", I said.

"Alright, I'll be back quickly.", she said taking our menus.

As she walked away, Hannah began.

"Okay, I met this guy.", she said smirking. And after that, I blocked out. A guy about my age was walking around lost. He didn't look familiar, but when he saw me staring at him, he walked over.

"Excuse me, I'm Blake. Do you go to the high school here?", he asked me.

"Yeah I do. And I'm Spencer.", I said shaking his hand.

"When does it start?", He asked me.

"In September. We still have a month, are you from around here?", Hannah said, butting in.

"Yeah, I live on Oden st, in Draketown.", he replied. "What's your name?", he asked Hannah.

"Hannah Edwards. And your name?", she asked him.

"Blake Sanders.", he replied.

They shook hands and Hannah smiled at him. As he sat down, another guy came over.

"Hannah, my mom just got in the hospital.", he said.

"You know this dude?", I asked.

"Yes, he's my b-boyfriend. I'll tell you more about it later. Um, I have to go. But I will be at your session tomorrow. Bye!", she said rushing up out her seat.

"Well great.", I said turning to Blake.

"I think I'm gonna go.", Blake said getting up.

"No, stay. I really need a friend right now.", I said grabbing his arm.

"Friend?", he questioned me.

I nodded. He took a seat and started on talking about himself.

I started to look at his features, his short brown hair and bold brown eyes. His nose was normal, and his smile was perfect. His teeth were completely straight.
