Mike.
"What do you mean she died? Mike, these dreams are getting serious." Lucas seemed to lecture, and I just nodded. I've said maybe two sentences today, I'm not in the mood to talk. Or do anything, for that matter.
"Mike, don't you think it's time..." Dustin trailed off, and I just furrowed my eyebrows at him. I don't understand what he's talking about.
"Time for what?"
"Guys, we need to go. Whoever brings the food for El will be there soon," Will spoke up, but everyone ignored him.
"I'm just being realistic here, so don't get mad, I just..." Dustin trailed off again, then took a deep breath and spoke. "These nightmares are getting serious, Mike, you need to let her go."
It was silent for a full minute. I just looked at him with big, shocked eyes and I'm sure Lucas and Will did, too.
"What? Let her go? Dustin, we're starting to find her! She's out there!" I yelled at him, probably waking up my sister. Do I care? No.
"Mike, come on! She died! I've been playing this 'she's alive' game for a year now. I was happy to do it if it kept you happy but now it's just bringing you down. You need to accept the fact that she is dead." I actually started crying when he said that, but they were angry tears. They were just falling and I was standing up and leaving the house before I knew it.
I rode quickly down the road, it's probably the fastest I've ever gone. The adrenaline pumping through my veins is just so intense. How could he say something like that? He may not believe that she's alive, but I do. And I'm gonna find her.
I rode until I found the familiar opening in the trees. I hopped off my bike and practically threw it to the ground, not caring about the kick stand.
I stomped a bit as I walked, aware that I'm being a baby. But did he really have to say that? Couldn't he have just pretended for a few more days?
I huffed loudly as I found the box and plopped down in front of it. I'm still so angry, I can't believe he said that so bluntly to me. She is not dead. I refuse to think that for even a second more than I already have.
She's alive. She's alive and this box is the key to finding her.
Just then, I heard heavy footsteps approaching. I didn't move, though, I was basically frozen in fear.
"You found it, huh?"
