Chapter 11

The ambulance drove away with Leo. They pronounced him dead.

How could this happen? My father said that he would be the first to go in my dream. It had to be him. But I thought he was dead. But no one ever actually told me he was, I just assumed it.

I started crying.

"Chris," Eddie said. "Are you okay?"

"No, how can anybody be okay?!" I yelled.

"You don't have to yell," he said.

I started pacing back and forth.

"I'm going to kill him!" I said. "And I'm going to make sure he's dead this time!"

"Who?" Austin asked.

"My father!"

"Chris, he is dead," Charlie said.

"No he's not!" I said.

"Even if he wasn't, he didn't kill Leo," David said.

"Yes he did," I said. "He killed Max too. He told me in my dream."

"It was a dream," Eddie said.

"He said he was going to kill Leo," I said. "And I found him dead. That's not a coincidence."

"They found and empty pill bottle next to him," David said. "He died of an overdose. Not your dad."

"I still don't think it was a coincidence," I said.

"How often have you had these dreams of your dad?" David asked.

"I don't know," I said. "Years."

"Why haven't you told anyone?" He asked.

"I figured I could handle it," I said. "They're just dreams. They were never like this though."

"Apperently not because you seem so sure that your dad killed Max and Leo," David said. "If you keep having these dreams you need to tell someone. This isn't healthy."

"Okay," I said.

"And I don't want to hear anymore about how your dad killed Leo," he said. "He's dead. And that whole thing is ridiculous."

He walked out of the room.

Why won't anyone believe me. I don't believe that this is a coincidence. How can it be? He told me Leo was the first to go, and then I found him dead.

I need to leave. It needs to be soon. I can't stand to see another go. I already know how this is going to end. I might as well just get it over with.

"What happened in the dream?" Austin asked.

"Nothing," I lied. "Just that."

"Then can you at least tell us what happened between you and your parents?" Charlie asked.

"No."

"Why not," Charlie asked. "You told Cole."

"It was hard enough for me to even do that," I said. "It's still hard for me to talk about."

"Then push through it like you did with Cole," Eddie said.

"You don't understand," I said.

We sat there quietly for about a minute or two.

"Besides, you shouldn't be worried about me right now," I said. "You should start helping me plan another funeral."

I walked into my room and layed down on my bed.

I'm still tired and I need some sleep. I didn't get much last night because of the dream. But I don't think I need to worry about it again. I've only been getting them about once a month.

But what if I do get another one? Do I want to find out who he's going to kill next?

Or is what the others are saying true? Could it just be a coincidence? That Leo died of an over dose?

But what if its not? Could those dreams help me prevent it happening to one of the other boys?

Better yet. Could me leaving stop it for good?

That could be a possibility. I wouldn't be around, so why would he still kill them? Who would he make watch it?

But he also said he was watching me to make sure I wouldn't do anything like that.

But if he's not around, like right now, then he can't stop me right?

It's settled then.

Tomorrow night, I'm leaving.
