Remember

"One last final touch," I quickly switched paintbrushes and wiped the sweat off my forehead.

  "There!" I got out of my chair and stepped a few feet back, admiring this picture of this beautiful lady I just finished painting.

  I had no idea who she was; she kept appearing in my dreams over and over again. She was so mysterious to me, and kept me so interested into figuring out her story; her dark polished hair, her sparkling bright eyes made it so warm and welcoming. And a smile that made her seem so familiar, as if it was a smile you saw every day that never got old, which always made you want to smile back.

  The dreams were always so clear, as if it was almost a memory that happened yesterday, yet at the same time so blurry, and trying to remember it made me severely light headed. It was just her face that would stay lingering in my mind. Suddenly, a loud cry cut me out of my thoughts. It was coming from downstairs. I quickly got out of my art room that led to my bedroom, before reaching the door I tripped on the wire of my charger to the computer and fell on my face hurting my ankle. I didn't bother looking at it. I hopped down the mahogany staircase to see that my older brother cut his ring finger while trying to make breakfast.  It didn't look that bad, it looks like the knife grazed the skin leaving a slight cut. He was sucking on his finger while rummaging through the cupboards for a band aid. He was giving me quite a laugh but being the nice person that I was I decided to help him and grabbed the box of band aids that was hidden by a pile of sports illustrator magazines. 

  "Thanks." he mumbled sheeply looking quite embarrassed with his dark jet black hair covering his forest green eyes. After he took a band aid I also quickly took one for my ankle.

  "Not a problem, Jake" I said while trying to fix this disaster he called breakfast. "Now tell me what exactly where you aiming to accomplish?" I said with my arm at my hip, and my eyebrow raised.

  "You always make breakfast, and help around, and that's not right. I'm your older brother; I supposed to be the one helping you out.  Not the other way around" He said while getting out the Clorox wipes and cleaning up. I smiled at what he said, he already done enough. Our parents died in a fire when I was very little, I hardly remember them, Jake was only 16 at the time and he refused to let them take me away to a foster home, so he kind of had to grow up right then and there.

  "You already do enough trust me, your already doing overtime at the insurance agency, now sit down, eat and shut up." He was one not to argue with when it came down to food. He ate quickly, and then headed out to work.

   "Bye Anya! I'll be home at around 9!  Don't do anything I wouldn't, remember your only 14!" he said with a wink. I rolled my eyes me at him. Ugh, I hated when he reminded me of me of my age, because it reminded me how summer would be ending very quickly and I would have to start High School. Jake was so excited for high school when he was my age, he and I are such complete opposites. He had dark straight hair, while I had light brown hair. I had blue eyes, while he had green. He was extremely tall, while I on the other hand what you might call petite. Even though he looked completely different from me you would still be able to tell he was my brother.

   I then got a sudden buzz in my pocket. I took out my blackberry to see that it was from Anna.  - Meet me at the mall ASAP-

Ugh; even though she is my best friend, the mall with her was endless hours of torture. I went into my room, opening my closet deciding what to wear. I wasn't even in the mood to go out. I settled on a flowy tank and ripped shorts, with converse, and stuck my hair in a messy bun. I walked to the bus stop with my head phones in blasting One Republic; their songs always put me in a happy mood. After about 3 more minutes of waiting, the bus came and I sat next to this little girl next to her mom. She was singing the wheels on the bus, and her mom congratulated her on doing such a wonderful job. I felt a bit jealous and sad.

   A sharp pain blew into my head I was nearly knocked out for a couple of seconds. It was so quiet. All I could hear was that song. "The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, all through the town" Then I came back to reality and left that serene place. My stop was here. I hobbled out of the bus stop holding on to the railing, I felt so... Out of it. I tried to put it out of mind and met Anna in front of Hollister. The rest was a normal shopping trip with Anna but I still had that strange experience in my head. Was it normal? Is my head supposed to hurt like that? I just tried to put it out of my head. We then went downstairs to the food court to eat some McDonalds.

  Everything was fine, Anna was going on about this new lip-gloss she just bought and how it went perfectly with this dress she had. I kind of zoned out after it. Then something caught my attention. Two tables away was this guy just staring at me, almost analyzing me. I've never seen him before. The top of his hair was blonde while the sides brown, and had bright grey eyes. Before I knew it I was also staring. "Oh yea, Anya, did I mention I'm getting my earlobes removed?"

    "Uh huh, yea that's great" I said spaced out.

   "ANYA?!"  Anna said waving her perfectly polished nails in my face.

   "Huh? Oh, yea?" I said snapping back to normal.

  "I just said that I was getting my earlobes removed, and you said that was great. You weren't even paying attention to me!" Anna huffed.

   "Oh your right, I'm sorry I was just staring at this kid over there" I said pointing to the place he had just been. 

  "Where? I don't see anyone?" Anna was looking around as much as I was a seconded ago. He was gone, As if he had vanished into thin air...
