HEAD IS A MESS HEART IS A WRECK

Heavenly Whispers

 Chapter 4

I lay in silence.  But inside, my head was spinning out of control and my heart was on overdrive. I wondered if I was going insane?.  And then, in that moment, I thought I heard a soft, heavenly whisper. I sat up quickly and looked around anxiously.  I  couldn't see anything. But then I heard the whispers calling to me again.

"Hello, Sophia".

Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the 'fairy' heart girl fluttering just above my head. I gasped in surprise and almost fell off the bed.

She smiled at me sweetly, and then whispered, "I'm sorry if I frightened you earlier Sophia".

"H-hello" I replied nervously.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing or hearing. Was I hallucinating?   Now I know I really am crazy, I thought to myself.

"My name is Amora" she replied in a cute French accent.

"I am your heart. I'm your emotional, feeling, optimistic and sensitive side. Whenever you 'feel' an emotion I can feel it too. I guess you can call me your fairy 'heart' mother" she giggled blissfully.

Amora fluttered around my bedroom before landing gently onto my pillow. I stared in disbelief at her delicate, sparkling wings, beating red heart and beautiful face.

"B-but who? How? Why?" I stuttered.

In that moment, I felt a warm Summer breeze blow gently through my hair.

"And I am Meg".

My eyes searched quickly. Floating above me on a cloud was the 'Nerdy' brain girl.

"Please don't be worried Sophia, but I am your 'head', your very own brainiac.  I'm your innermost thoughts, your intellectual, realistic and cautious side.  A wisdom of knowledge to help, protect and guide you" explained Meg, in a high pitched geek like voice.

"Hello," I replied nervously.

Meg smiled, and teased "And you can call me 'Nerdy' if you like".

I rubbed my eyes in disbelief and asked in a confused voice, "You mean I can actually SEE, FEEL and HEAR my own 'heart' and 'head'?! "

"Yes, Sophia.  I know it's hard to believe but, it's true" explained Amora.

"Please don't feel alarmed, you don't need to feel afraid, we are here to help you" reassured Nerdy.

As I looked closely, I could see Meg, I mean 'Nerdy', was dressed in a white frilly blouse with a black cotton business jacket and a tight fitted pencil skirt. She wore her brunette colour hair in a tight, neat bun on the top of her head. Her black framed glasses were large but fitted her pretty face perfectly. And she drifted blissfully on her fluffy 'brain' like cloud on a Summer's day.

They explained to me that since my 'hit and run' accident, I am now able to unlock into my unconscious. And somehow I am now able to actually 'see', 'feel', 'hear' and 'talk' to my inner emotions and thoughts. Wow! How cool is that? Apparently, all of us have these powers, but only a few of us are lucky enough to tap into their magical world.

I watched in amusement as Amora and Nerdy whizzed playfully around my bedroom.

Amora flew even closer then whispered into my ear, "Lincoln seems very nice. And I know how much you like him because our heart flutters whenever he is around".

"Oh, can you? Do I?" I asked Amora in surprise.

"Yes you do, although the new boy Jake makes our heart beat a little faster too".

"Well, uh, maybe, a little, I guess" I confessed.

Suddenly Nerdy interrupted, "Don't confuse Amora. And stop drowning her with feelings of love or putting any more unrealistic ideas into her heart".

"I don't" argued Amora, "I just want Sophia to feel happiness. To love and to be loved is everything" she said dreamily, with a sensual French accent.

"Absolutely, but you are 'in love with being in love', a hopeless romantic. You always rush head over heels into everything. But sometimes the person you fall for isn't always ready to catch you".

"Tea is ready" shouted Mum from downstairs.

"C-o-m-i-n-g" I shouted back.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go" I explained sadly to Amora and Nerdy.

"When will you come back? How will I find you? How do I know when you are there? I asked urgently. I had a million more questions for them to answer.

"If you ever need me, just 'feel' with your heart and I will appear" explained Amora with an excitable giggle.

"If you need to reach me, just 'tap' into your inner thoughts" Nerdy cheered.

"But how am I meant to do that?" I asked puzzled.

"Sophia! Hurry up your tea is getting cold!" shouted mum in a booming voice.

I looked around but Amora and Nerdy had vanished again.
