Kriss loans Kamber a change of clothes and this time she sits on our bus. The rest of the team stays away from us, which I don't understand but whatever.
Kamber grins at Alex and I, "I may not be able to drop you two in a pool but I will find another way to get back at you." We smile back, "You can try." Alex says with a shrug.
With a smirk on her face Kriss says, "I can't wait to see this." Kamber grins at her, "Oh honey, did you think you wouldn't be getting a surprise of your own?" Kriss' smile fades.
"Me?" She asks innocently, "What did I do?" Kamber smirks, "You egged them on." I can see the wheels turning in Kriss' mind, looking for a come back. I laugh when she can't come up with anything. She rolls her eyes at me.
"Well, we will wait and see what you come up with." I say. Kamber sticks her tongue out at me.
We chat the rest of the way back to the school, Kamber seems happier than when we first met her. I'm glad that she is, it reminds me that Amelia was as happy after she met us too. I hope she's happy now.
At home I pull out some of my school work, I've been neglecting it lately. I've never been an overly good student, Amelia always helped me. She was a good student, I am not. I have to work so hard just to get a 70.
It takes me three hours to finish my homework. It sucks, but if I'm ever going to have a future I have to have good marks.
It was Amelia who made me realize what it was I wanted to become. I want to be a therapist. I want to help people like me, who have lost someone who mean something to them. I want to help those who feel alone, who miss that person more than anything. People like me.
I wonder what Amelia would have gone on to do? She would have done something great. She would have. I wish she was still here to do what ever that great thing was.
Thinking like this won't help anyone, she gone and that's that. Time to move on.
Ashlynn looks at me, "Dawson?" She asks. "Where's Amelia?" I find the words just coming out of my mouth. "She's safe," I say, "Ashlynn she's safe." Ashlynn smiles.
"I knew you could do it, I knew you could keep her safe." Ashlynn's face is so bright and full of life and happiness.
"I promised didn't I?" I say. Ashlynn can only smile, she's so happy. "Amelia is waiting for us." I say and take her hand.
Ashlynn and I run, I hold onto her hand as we run. Why are we running? If we are safe then why are we running?
Is Amelia really safe?
No. Amelia is dead.
Ashlynn is dead.
They are all dead.
I sit up gasping. What the hell is happening to me? I need them, I her. I need them to help me. How can I figure any of this out with out her?
What choice do I have? I have to figure this out by myself.
What would Amelia do?
Go to the library.
Use the internet.
I grab my laptop and google 'visions'. I stare at the screen, over 10 000 options. Is there even any point in trying to read it all? Is it possible?
I shrug and start reading.
I read for an hour, my mom calls me to dinner, I keep reading, I read and read. It's going to take me days to get through all this shit.
None of it makes any sense, why the hell would I care about someone else's visions? It's only mine I want to understand!
If I can't figure this out myself I do ave another source.
I text Alex and Kriss.
Dawson: so do u guys have any ideas about y i have visions?
Alex: nope
Kriss: i've been asking my parents
Dawson: and they said?
Kriss: they're still thinking
Dawson: bloody hell
Kriss: sorry
Alex: why has no 1 heard of whatever Dawson is?
Kriss: no idea, maybe he's the 1st
Dawson: well if i'm the 1st then i think it sucks
Alex: no arguments their dude
Kriss: u 2 need 2 grow up
Dawson: so what? i'm the one who keeps having visions of my dead girlfriend!
Kriss: ur visions r about Amelia?
Dawson: yeah, Ashlynn 2
Alex: dude that sucks
Dawson: i thought so at first
Kriss: at first?
Dawson: it's actually kind of comforting
Alex: comforting?
Kriss: how daft r u?
Alex: what do u mean?
Kriss: now we know that Amelia won't be forgotten, as long as D exists he'll remember her
Alex: if u say so
Dawson: u guys will 2
Kriss: of course
Alex: we need 2 go back 2 the whole 'what is Dawson' thing!
Dawson: i'm not human
Kriss: nope, ur something like us
Dawson: cool, y do i have 2 have freaky visions? y can't i do something cool like u 2?
Alex: we just happen 2 b luckier than u
Kriss: Alex!
Alex: what?
Dawson: oh give it a rest, both of u
Kriss: sorry
Alex: we'll figure it out
Dawson: sure
Kriss: i've got 2 go but Dawson, we'll figure it out
Alex: we always do
Dawson: sure, of course
I put my phone down and sigh, I have weird friends. I couldn't ask for better ones though, there isn't any other people on Earth who know me as well as they do.
Only they know about my weird fascination with Sherlock and the fact that I actually love wearing bow ties, who else could I trust with my life?
My laptop beeps and I frown. I click on the box that comes up, it flashes and my screen goes black.
I growl and shake the mouse, then the screen explodes with a silver and gold light.
A banner with streamers and confetti pop onto the screen.
The banner reads 'Surprise!'
I am so shocked I scream and fall backwards out of my chair.
Bloody hell.
I have weird friends, strange friends, mad friends even.
But they always know what will cheer me up.
They are the greatest friends I could ask for.
