Lost

Chapter Four - Alex

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ALEX'S POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have been having these dreams, and they're not ordinary.  They have been of the same girl, three days in a row.  And the weirdest thing was that today at school, I saw her in my art class.  She seemed depressed and kept to herself like me.  After class I walked up to her and asked her for her name.  Her name was Claire, Claire Brookson.  She was beautiful, she had long brown hair and green eyes.  As soon as I met her, I fell in love.  After school I climbed in my car, I sat there staring out at the parking lot full of people. I don't know why, I guess I was just thinking.  I was soon pulled out of my thoughts to my car door slamming.  I snapped my head around and found the beautiful Claire Brookson sitting in my passenger seat.  She smiled at me, since I didn't know how to respond to her climbing in my car, I smiled back and turned on the engine.  After a little while I noticed that she was staring at me.  "What?" I asked wondering why she would be staring at me, of all people.  "You're kind of cute," She responded and laughed when my eyes grew huge.  "Why me?" I was still wondering why she stared at me.  She never answered so I kept on driving.  I didn't know where to go, so I drove to the old park on Corner Avenue.  We were sitting on the swing sets talking and laughing like we were best friends, even though I just met her an hour ago.  I saw, out of the corner of my eye, her pull down her black jacket sleeve.  I looked at her and instead of pulling mine down I pulled mine up and revealed the six cuts on each wrist.  She gaped her mouth then pulled up the jacket sleeve.  She also had a few cuts on her wrist but not as bad as mine.  I felt a strong connection to her and I wanted to protect her. The next day we met up at school and traded numbers.  I had never been so happy but I was still depressed.  What my adopted brother Christopher didn't know was that I was also adopted.  I had went through the very same thing he did, so that's why I was depressed.  But to be honest I think you would like to know Claire's story.  You're in for a wild ride.
