Lifetimes In A Flash

Chapter One: Waking Up

I bolted awake in a cold sweat, breathing heavily.  I looked around and breathed a sigh of relief: I wasn't burning alive. My house wasn't on fire.

So why did that dream feel so real? As if I had experienced it?

I tried to shake off the feeling and go back to sleep, but I couldn't fall back into the arms of sleep after a flashback dream like that. I groaned in irritation,  and get out of bed.

"Time to get ready for college. " I thought to myself, as I got ready. I combed what little hair I had and put on jeans and a t-shirt.

Yes........I know this sounded weird for a thirteen year old girl to say. But my situation was different then most girls.

If I'm going off the assumption that those flashback dreams are real, then I was reincarnated as Brenden Towers for this
' lifetime.'

The weird thing is, though, is that he and I are actually two distinct people. So there is a difference.

Though........I can't say that I am not happy. I turned thirteen finally, so I am growing older. I refuse to grow up unless I have to, though.

I reached to put his android and regular cell phone into my pockets, then head to the bathroom to get ready.

There "he" was: an nineteen year old boy with black hair and brown-hazel eyes. He had a moustache and stubble for a beard, which quickly was shaved as part of his routine.

"At least I don't have to go through some of the pains that girls do." I think to myself, smiling.

"Hey Melody." Brenden said, speaking to me internally.

This is how we talked to each other. Well.....outside of having to write down a whole conversation.  Which got hard sometimes.

"Hey. Ready for another big day?" I ask him, giggling a little bit.

He had a girlfriend. In Michigan. Named Jay. Her numbers were in his phone. And I had adopted her as my big sister.

"Yeah......I guess." He said to me, as we got into the car and let it warm up. It was cold outside and the car had to warm up some.

"Well we can do it! Just stay focused!" I said to him, as he smiled at my words.

"Ok." He replied, as we headed off to college.

"But I still wonder whether that dream was real, Or whether I just had lost my memory of when I was born. But I am my own person and not just a personality." I say to myself fiercely......
