Dark Horizons

Chapter twenty-two

A/n yes last chapter was FIVE pages long! I'm proud of myself for that. I can't promise all of my chapter are going to be that long. Oh, I'm rewriting the first few chapters so if you wanted to go and give them a read they are pretty different, I've only done 1 & 2 so far but hey its a start. :)

   "You silly boy, that was only like four hours ago." I laughed. He smiled at me and ruffled my hair.

   "Yes, but I woke up for a few seconds and realized a certain  someone was no longer there." He commented.

   "I'm sorry. It's just that I heard everyone talking about how worried they were and I had to go and tell them I was okay." I exclaimed. He shrugged his shoulders, chuckling.

   "Well, that was sweet of you. How do you feel?" He asked. I looked at him for a second and then shrugged.

   "For the most part I feel the same, but I'm all extreme senses now." I said, laughing a bit.

"Well, that's good. I know you don't like the whole blood thing but it keeps you alive." He said. I nodded, he put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me to him.

   "It's weird. You know? It's like I'm still me but I feel not like me at the same time." I commented staring at the ceiling.

   "Well, want to look in a mirror?" He asked. His question confused me, at first I thought that meant that I looked different, too.

   "Why? Do I look different?" I asked a but frantically.

   "Nope, that's why I wanted you to look in the mirror. Your still the same Pam that was at the mall, butI barely recognized you then." He commented.

   "What do you mean?" I asked.

   "You don't remember? Look, don't take this the wrong way but in fifth grade you were a bit...over weight? I mean, you aren't now or anything, but you also had pretty bad skin and your hair was a mess. Not that any fifth grader looked extremely attractive. It's just that now your hairs all styled and your skin is pretty clear and you only have a little bit of chub. You have changed." He said. He seemed uncomfortable saying it to me but I knew only my best friend could tell me I used to be fat and get away with it. I knew I used to be, and I did still have a bit of a stomach but it didn't matter because it wasn't like huge.

   'Well, do you remember what you looked like?" I asked. He shook his head.

   "Back then we all thought we were the cutest things. What did I look like?" He asked.

   "Well, I mean, you had glasses,bad skin, you were all short and awkward, and a little over weight, also. But you've grown up, too. Look, your tall, muscular, nice skin no more glasses. Your such a cutie." I said using a ab voice and pinching his cheeks. He rolled his eyes at me and pushed my hands away.

   "Geez, thanks fir just bullying younger me." He joked.

   "Hey! You did it to me, first!" I exclaimed. He just laughed at me.

   "So, what are we watching?" He asked, turning his attention to the tv screen.

   "Ghost Adventures, but I've already seen this one." I replied, sighing. I loved all sorts of ghost movies and shows becuase it helped me believe there was something after death. I wasn't religious so I was always a bit confused.

   "Then why watch it again?" He asked looking at the tv adn laughing a little. The ghosts adventures crew wasn't always the most manly and most guys found them hilarious.

   "It's still my favorite show." I sighed.

   "Let's put something else on." Ian whined at me. I rolled my eyes but handed him the remote.
