In Time~Phantom of the Opera

Chapter 5

Thats Mick btw lol 

Chapter 5

"Jacqueline, Kenzy told me you left the room at like 4am and she said this wasn't the first time" Mick confronted me on the bus.

I casually made up a whole lie knowing he would probably think I'm crazy for talking to a ghost and all plus the fact going back to the very place I was afraid of.

"I just like to walk around and wait for the sun to rise" I lied

Mick knew me very well and he could tell when I'm lying but this time he let it fly. "Okay...um how's your head?"

Remembering the phantom's voice in my head scared me, so far I heard nothing and I prayed it stayed that way. "No, I'm fine. It was probably just from jet lag"

"Yeah Jet lag" he suddenly started to act like a dick "I just feel like you are keeping something from me"

Great here I thought he was actually gonna let this one fly. He wasn't even my boyfriend, he was just my best guyfriend.

"Uh Mick it's not like we are dating so you need to chill" I gave him a bit of my own slice.

"You are my best friend so I have a right. You haven't been acting yourself since the first day we got here and when you claimed you saw the 'Phantom of the opera'" he argued sounding more pissed than worried.

Before I could explain myself he went on bickering "Wait is that who you're seeing in the morning? You know he could be some pervert hiding in those tunnels. Your boyfriend and I would be very devastated if you were kidnapped" This was turning more into a lecture. Who was he, my parents?

"Thank you mom for the info but I get that already and don't you dare accuse me of going to see some creep. I'm not some stupid 12 year old!!" I shouted back loud enough for the whole bus to hear

"Lower your fucking voice Jackie" Mick hushed me up as he anxiously looked around making sure no one noticed our fight.

Luckily no one noticed so our argument went on but we were more cautious on our volume."Listen Jaq, I was not accusing you I was interrogating you I'm sorry. It's just these past two days have been strange. I feel like something bad is going to happen" was he scared of something?

"Whatever I forgive you but never accuse me of something like that again" I sighed calming myself down "So what do you think will happen?"

"I don't know. Ever since we got off that plane I've had such a strange feeling and for some reason I feel like I need to protect you from some...thing...or one" now he was really sounding worried about me.Weird.

"I understand your worry but whatever your feeling maybe just one of those things. I am fine Mick"

Mick studied me for a second before giving up "Okay Jaq I hope your right"

We both turned our attentions to our phones and social media. I posted on instagram a picture of myself at the opera house. I really liked it until I noticed a familiar figure in the shadows of the picture. The phantom. I smiled to myself my new friend. God I really was turning into a psych case.

"The phantom of the opera is there inside my mind" I sang quietly to myself.

"What?" Mick gave me a weird look "Nothing" I replied.

I went on spotify and put in my headphones as I put on the whole soundtrack of the musical. Why am I starting to obsess over this?

After dinner I called James. I missed him alot like alot. He would've protected me from all this but his football scholarship was more important not that I cared and as I said before I supported him it's just if he was here I wouldn't have got myself in this crazy mess.

"Hey"

"Hello my lovely Jaq" My boyfriend cooed into the phone

I giggled he was so cute "Why are you so cute?"

"I am? I think you are wrong. You are cute"

"I am not"

"You are"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

So that basically went on for a while until I finally let him win "Fine I am you win"

He laughed "Victory" he shouted

"Calm yourself James" I chuckled

"Nah, you make me high"

"Well looks like I'm a bad drug I should go then" I joked

"Nooooo you are a good drug. I need you" he begged me to stay even though I was messing with him.

"You right" I took my hair out of the ponytail ruffling it up.

"So Mick said you have been acting a bit strange" he kept acting goofy but I was still pissed that Mick already told my boyfriend.

"I just miss you, I want you here in France with me" I covered it up as much as I could but not to much

"I miss you too, maybe if you wish hard enough I will be there" My eyes widened

"What?!"

"I am not for sure but I maybe able to come for a week during the little break I have from my college stuff" he explained to me making me more excited

"JAMES!!!!!!!"

"Woah there you're gonna break my eardrums" he chuckled

I jumped up and down "Yasss" I wanted to run a mile marathon due to the sudden excited energy I had.

"Yo chill babe" he couldn't stop laughing at me. I can be idiot at times.

"Jackie it's bedtime now get off the phone!!" Kenzy yelled from the bathroom. That girl I swear.

"I gots to go" I sniffed into the phone pretending to cry.

James sighed "Oh okay good night babe"

"Night bae" I giggled back

We hung up. My thoughts for the first time since I left America revolved around James my bae. The Phantom was nothing now, it was all James. His perfect white straight teeth, clear soft skin, his soft short brown hair, his chocolate brown eyes and bold voice that fit his football muscular thin figure. Every girl would kill for a perfect guy like that and well I just happened to be lucky.

I forgot everything about the two days and the promise I made to the 'opera ghost' who was supposedly my friend now. Now I was sane thank jesus.
