Death and Dreams (COMPLETED BUT NOT EDITED)

Chapter 17

"Hold up, you want to do what?"Chris says with wide eyes

I sighed and repeated myself, "I want you all to help me build Fantasy her dream house for her birthday"

Chris raised an eyebrow, "you sure you're not in love with her?"

Seb smacks his head, "come on guys give the guy a break"

Chris huffed but stayed quiet.

Seb looked at me asked, "when is her birthday?"

"Christmas Day"

"oh hell" raven sighed

Chris yelled, "seven months?! How the hell are we going to fix a HOUSE in SEVEN MONTHS!!?"

Seb sighed, "Chris please shut up and it's not seven months, its six. Than, this is really short notice"

"you think I don't know that. Why did you think I asked for all of your help?"

Before anyone else could say something Mack stepped up and said, "I'll help you, not like I have anything else to do."

It was quiet when he said that, no one expected him to say that since he was suppose to hate my guts of the whole his lover thing.

"Thank you, Mack"

He nodded his head but stayed quiet.

Then everyone else agreed to it expect for Jade, she just stomped her foot and left.

"So what all do we need?"

I told them what she wanted and everyone picked out the supplies that they'll get and left to get what they can then go to get some sleep.

Now all I have to do is find a place to put the house.

************************************************************************

Walking towards the mail box to get the mail for mother, I saw my name on one of the packages. I put the package in my pants and under my shirt and walked back in the house.

Putting the mail on the kitchen table, I go up to the attic and grab the package from my pants.

Opening it I saw that it was a silver leather bound book with my name going down the side. There was a gold yin and yang symbol in the center of the cover and also gold there was a quote above it, "Vision without action is a daydream.", and beneath it, "Action without vision is a nightmare. -Japanese proverb"

It was beautiful; I almost didn't believe that it belonged to me.

Opening the first page I saw even more quotes than normal...

"To me, the thing that is worse than death is betrayal. You see, I could conceive death but I could not conceive betrayal."-Malcolm X

"The marks humans leave are too often scars"-John Green

"You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never hurt, sing like there's nobody listening, and live like its heaven on earth"-William W. Purkey

"The boundaries which life from death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?"-Edgar Allen Poe
