What's Your power?

I Miss You

Thomas' POV:

I woke up peacefully in a large, cushy bed. Someone cuddled up to me tightly wrapping their arms around me. It wasn't Ty. I recognize them. "Pollux?"

He sat up and looked me in the eye. He had beautiful brown eyes. He let out a small laugh "is that a question? I mean we do live here together." We live here together. Wait, I'm still caught up on the we. "Baby, do you feel okay, you look really pale?"

Baby? I'm so confused. I feel sick suddenly. What happened while I was asleep? This isn't any room I've ever seen at the school. It's got a king sized bed, a massive closet, and the biggest change the view was of a small backyard. "Where am I? Whats going on?"

I stammered before I sprinted into the open bathroom. Violently puking nothing but bile. Pollux came and rubbed my back lightly. He kept murmuring about how everything will be okay and how when I'm finished we're going to the hospital. He was being nice his voice even sounded different. The low menacing tone was gone now it was a light and polite tone. When I had finished he helped me up, gave me some gum, and sat me in the passenger seat of a pink Volkswagen bug. He drove very carefully.

We rolled up to a hospital he parked and rushed me in. He sat me down in a chair and talked to one of the nurses. This can't be right. I'm still in pajamas. At least I have my phone. That's weird most of my school contacts are still there but I don't have Ty, Steven, or Bailey. I call Mandy. "Hi Thomas, what's up you never call me?"

That's not true, I call Mandy all the time. This is obviously a dream or everything else about my life has just been a figment of my imagination. "Mandy, I can't seem to remember anything for the past ever and I feel very sick"

I she hesitated on responding "Thomas, please wake up we need you" I gasped it is a dream "ha ha just kidding I wish I could tell you what was wrong but sorry, beanie-boo." Mandy loved to call me "beanie-boo." Something didn't feel right about it this time. She sounded less excited to hear from me than usual. "Look, Thomas, I would love to talk some more but I've got pets to feed and kids to take care of call me later. Love you, Bye."

Before I could respond she hung up. She said she has kids? What's the date? I check my phones calendar, July 10th, 2022. Hey, it's my birthday. If the year is correct I just turned ... I just turned 24. That can't be right. I sit and stare at the ceiling for a moment. "This is him doctor. Thomas the doctor wants to talk to you. Do you feel up to it?"

He sounded so concerned for me. I nodded lightly. The doctor asked me what my last memory was. I couldn't look him in the eyes and say this with a straight face. "I'm not even sure if this is a memory at this point but before I woke up this morning I was 17 years old and lived in a small town called Divine Gardens." It's not a complete lie "It was weird, people were very skilled in ... different things."

The doctor smiled at me. "What a strange delusion. I find it absolutely delightful, boy." I look up. The doctor is small, frail man with light white hair and soft brown eyes. "Hm, what is the matter? ... Speak up now I can't read minds."

Dr. Batfry? Why is he here? Oh why am I questioning him being here of course he's here. "Dr. Batfry, you were there and you could read minds. I don't know exactly what's going on but I can't keep going with this today."

He nodded at me then walked off with Pollux. I noticed a painting on the wall. Dr. Batfry was in it standing next to him was ... I was standing next to him shaking his hand. What is happening here? Why don't I remember anything from the past 6 years? Why don't I remember this? Suddenly I feel sick again. I find a large garbage can and lean over it. A thick stream of the black ooze erupts from my mouth.

I don't feel it coming out of my stomach. It feels more like it's just appearing in my mouth and coming out. Suddenly I feel a warm hand softly rubbing my back. "It's okay, Thomas. I just wanted to show you something." Pollux's voice had switched back "This could be our future together. I don't mean the hospital trip, but I mean we could be together. Nobody would consider us freaks and we could live happily ever after together all you have to say is yes." The goop began to slow "don't worry about answering me now. There will be a time in the not to distant future that you won't be able to say no"

Everything went black very suddenly. When I open my eyes this time I'm laying on my side in a classroom. There is still a warm hand on my back. I can't move. My vision is still blurry and I still can't quite hear but those sense are slowly coming back to me. I wonder if I could taste right now? I can start to hear voices now. One is whispering my name. "Thomas, please come back to me alright. I can't lose you now I just got you back."

With my vision starting to focus I can see that I'm in my Governments class. Someone is shouting about how I'm moving my eyes. Suddenly I'm jerked onto my back. Looking up I see Ty. He starts stroking my cheek lightly. There are tears in his eyes. "Don't you normally not jerk around someone who just came to."

Ty laughed wiping the tears from his face. "yeah he's back." He pulled me in close "You had me so worried. What happened? One moment you were just sitting in class the next you're on your side puking up goo that evaporated once it hit the floor."

I open my mouth to respond but instead I sneeze. Then I close my mouth and just look around. "I think Pollux has a crush on me"
