'Robyn what on earth is going on with you? he said with concern in his voice.
Should I tell Him the truth or should I lie? I was so confused. I was deep in thought as we pulled up to my house. I jumped out the car thinking what I was going to say to him. If I trusted him would he keep it? I was not sure. I'll make him oath not to say anythinge. We walked into my house and I walked immediately to my parents were there waiting!
'Robyn is out of the nest!' I said. That's our code for he saw something!
'Oh, dear. Matt come inside so we can chat.'
'No mom, I want to tell him. But tomorrow in the TREEHOUSE.' The treehouse is my place where I go to share secrets BUT any secrets told on the TREEHOUSE must never be spoken anywhere outside the TREEHOUSE! I looked Matt in the eyes and said, 'Go upstairs and get ready for bed, my brothers room is on the right. I am tired and going to sleep. See you in the morning.' I walked away leaving Matt by my parents.
'She is sensitive. Because of her condition so please be gentle with her Matt. She hates her condition but can't get rid of it so give her time.' My mom said softly so I would not hear. I looked back and saw Matt give a nod of approval. He was so sweet. If I told him, would he be my first boyfriend? I have never had one and don't know anything about what life is like with that. I have watched movie about boyfriend's and apparently some are nice and caring but others cheat on you with 6 or 7 other girls. What if Mathew was that type of guy!I went back to my room and got into my Grizzly Bear onesie. You know the PJ's that arsine piece and extra fluffy. Even if it was summer.my mind has been racing for weeks about my vision of the future. Dead. In 15 years. How? After what seemed like hours but I don't actually know how many, I fell asleep.
I woke up. I felt tired and nervous. Would he tell? I ate breakfast, bacon and eggs with French toast. I had a cup of hot chocolate on the side. It would have been tasty if I hadn't eaten it so fast that all I tasted was a metallic taste. The metallic taste is the only taste I taste when something is bad and not right. Mathew was awake too and he walks with me, in my PJ's to the TREEHOUSE! I was still nervous. Mathew saw this and looked into eyes.
'Its ok, trust me!' he said quietly with open care. We climbed the ladder into my treehouse. It had a sofa and a bedside table with matching lights. It has a little bed for sleepovers from when I was little, we used to have sleepover up here all the time since it had a big skylight to look at the stars with. Not though the skylight was covered in leaves.
'So, Robyn. Spill the beans. What's going on with you?' I took a deep breath and told him everything. From start to finish. Everything right down to the last detail. When I was done I took a deep breath ready for his reaction.
'Wow,that's so cool. Wait till I tell everyone.' Before I could stop him he was typing it to everyone and sent it. There was nothing I could do about it. It was done he had told everyone. I knew it was too soon. I ran to my room and I yelled at Matt to go home. I would never speak to him again. I thought.I went to school on Monday with my glasses tied to me. So no one could get them off. They all looked at me and laughed or they asked me to tell them their future.
'I can't, I can only see the upcoming events not just yours!' I snapped at them. Soon I was world know and scientist began to experiment on me. It was painful but no one could figure out why I saw the things I do. Everything about me was normal. Everything! This was all Matts fault when they saw that I was normal they thought it was a practical joke. They send me home. I asked my mom to drive all the way to Matts house. He opened the door.
'Hi, Robyn. How you been?'
'Oh, I've been great, in great pain that is!' I yelled at him. He didn't see it coming but I punched him in the face.
'That is for telling everyone. Because of you I was experimented on! Put on the operating table! Bullied! Humiliated!"He had a nosebleed now and was battered and bruised. I turned and walked away! I was so mad at him.Then I woke up. For real this time I hope because I felt as if that dream was real. It was so vivid.
I took Matt to the treehouse and everything happened like the dream. Almost...
I told him everything and decided to add in the part that in 15 years I would die. So I must not get close to anyone.
'That's cool. But if your gonna die in 15 years why not live life to the fullest and get close to someone?'
'Because in the vision, I die protecting I person I love!'
'That can't stop us can it?'
'Well, you see if I die I don't want to hurt the person who loves me and...' I never had the chance to finish. His lips were on mine. It felt like fireworks, sparks, something I could only dream about. It was MAGICAL!
'Well?'
What was he expecting me to say? It was like nothing I've ever experienced? I was in shock and I was tongue tied. For once! I just stared at with open confusion but I think he saw it as anger because...
'Was it really that bad?'
'N-No!' I managed to say! 'It was amazing!' I was so grateful that he was so cool about it! He stayed almost the whole morning but then his sister came to fetch him. When he was gone, I felt like a cloud. Drifting through the gates of heaven. I have never had a boyfriend so I was wondering if he was my boyfriend or not?
'So how'd he take it?' My 'dad' asked me.
'Quite well!' I said, I think I was blushing because my dad gave me that look like,'Oh, my. You are growing up so fast!'Life was good.
