Vine Labyrinth

Chapter 2: Reunited

Boredom. Boredom. Boredom. Gosh it's so boring here! I need to get out of this house.

I changed my clothes because I was wearing a pajama. Now let's drive to...the park? I think some fresh air will do me good. I'll eat some ice cream too. The one at my home is finished sadly.

I was walking in the park, being new to me I didn't really know where I was going, I was just walking. It was pretty though. I finally saw the ice machine and I bought some chocolate ice cream of course. The guys who sold it for me looked quite familiar but I didn't know exactly who I can relate him to...

I was tired of walking so I sat on a bench and started reading a book. A woman came and sat next to me. I recognized her also. Why does everybody look familiar to me today? Maybe I'm just hallucinating. But seriously, this woman looks like Amelia. Like a lot! I wouldn't dare asking because it'll be awkward. I'll be like "Amelia?" And she will be like "Who's Amelia? You're crazy woman!".

Anyways...I wanted to clear my mind off of those things. I usually go to a cafeteria where there is jazz music and everybody is relaxing and just drinking coffee or tea. I prefer coffee. With milk. And lots of sugar. So I arrived there. I've been there twice before since I moved in Miami. When I entered I bought coffee and sat at a table. There were no chairs just armchairs or couches. It was a really fancy cafeteria.

Wait a second...even the 'bartender' looked familiar. But dang I can't relate him to anyone right now! What's going on?! I came here to clear my mind not to full it! I'm definitely hallucinating. The girl sitting next to my table looked quite like Lorelei and the guy she was sitting with looked like her brother Stephan. Jesus what if they really are them? But I can't just go out and ask them like this! They'll think I'm some kind of creeper!

I got out of the cafeteria and drove back to my apartment, but when I arrived, a girl asked me where is a specific restaurant. She was wearing glasses but I swear I recognized her! And those glasses...I've seen them before...

"Um...yeah...miss...the restaurant is...well...wait a second...I know you..." I said stuttering.

"Oh, well, maybe. This world is small isn't it?" She said with a cheerful voice.

"It is, yeah. But I really feel like I know you..."

"Maybe you do, maybe you don't. What's your name?"

Should I tell her? I mean...maybe she is a stalker or a thief. I can't really trust her. I'll lie.

"Rose. Rose...Stoneheart." Stoneheart?! Really Teresa?!

"It's not true. Your name is not Rose Stoneheart darling. Is Teresa Firestorm."

"H-How do you know?!"

"Oh believe me dear. I know. I've met you before. Don't think I'm a creeper. You know me too."

"J-Julia?!"

"Julia...Julia how?"

"Um...uh..." Would it be weird if I say it? I mean... "Um...Julia Goldenring?"

"Precisely."

"Julia Mary Goldenring."

"Teresa Firestorm."

"God I missed you so much! How did you get there? And why?"

"Well I obviously flew here for you dummy! And I'm not alone."

From the back of the building came all my friends! Leland, Adam, Amelia, Lorelei and Stephan! All of them!

"Tery I've missed you!" Said Leland and hugged me tightly.

"I've missed you too Lel. And you too Adam."

"I sure like heck missed you bro. Even if it's just been a month."

"Yeah. Lory! Steph! Missed you guys!"

"We've missed you too Tery! Jesus puberty hit you hard! For a month? You changed a little!"

"Yeah? How?"

"Well your boobs have grown-"

"Shut up Stephan! It's not cool to say that to a girl! Especially if it's a little older -  Sorry Tery - than you Stephan." Said Lorelei.

"Sorry sis." Oh! Poor Steph!y

"Well what do you guys wanna do? I mean it's lunch time so let's eat something right?" I suggested.

"Yeah sure! I'm starving anyways!" Said Amelia.

"Let's go. I know a restaurant close by."

"Good. I need to fill up my tummy." Said Adam and we all started giggling.

"I missed spending good time with you guys. I remembered all the happy memories we had together. You know Julia? When we pranked your boyfriend? It was hilarious until the police came..."

"Yeah I totally remember. It was Jessica's fault though. She was a total-"

"Don't say it!" I cut her off.

"Okay Tery. But seriously! I got over it now I can swear about her how much I want!"

"Steph is here you dummy!" I yelled-whispered at her.

"True. Sorry Steph!"

"Come on. We're here."
