The Blackouts

JACK!

It felt like I was sleeping...... No weird sensations. I opened my eyes to find myself in my room. It seemed as if nothing had happened. Suddenly, the door opened, and I quickly lay back on the bed pretending to be asleep. I heard my little brother calling me. I felt kind of disappointed. "I'm coming bro."
After he left, I slowly closed my eyes and saw him..... JACK. He was giving me a genuine smile but I knew it was fake, I knew it had a lot of pain. He started to tear up as he saw me. But when I started walking towards him, he signalled me to stop. A wave a tension washed over his face. He immediately ran away from me as if, if he stayed near me he would die.
After all, he didn't seem to be that bad of a person. But then why was he smirking at me that night. I slowly opened my eyes to see Jack sitting right in front of me. I moved forward to touch him but before I could get any closer I heard my alarm go off. It wasn't a dream. He was sitting right there, in my room, giving me the most genuine smile. He slowly walked up to me and gave me a light hug. Suddenly, my bedroom door swung open. It was dad. I turned around to see that the man was still sitting right next to me. My dad slowly came up to me and gave me a hug. I hugged him back. I turned around and Jack was gone."Dad, please tell me something about Jack." Dad immediately looked away from me and I saw a few tears run down his cheeks. I wiped them off and hugged him again asking him what had happened. He told me that him and uncle Jack were great friends. They had once gone out for a fishing trip to a nearby lake and while returning, a gang of robbers killed him right in front of my dad.
I was stunned. The man, Jack is dead.
My dad also told me,"I somehow managed to escape but I feel guilty of his death."
I rubbed his back soothingly assuring him that it was not his fault at all. He got up from my bed and walked towards the door. The last thing he said before leaving was,"Jack loved you a lot Ashley. He considered you as his own daughter."
As soon as he left, I saw Jack sitting beside me again. He tried to tell me something but was cut off by my brother running into my room. The man suddenly disappeared. My brother started jumping on my bed.
I had no school today since it was a Sunday. I took a bath and changed into my shorts and an over-sized t-shirts and went downstairs. I saw my brother sitting on my best friend, Alex's lap and talking to him. I noticed that no one else was home. So I made myself some pancakes. After finishing my breakfast, I made some black coffee for the two of us. "Alex, where did mom and dad go?" "They just left to go to the mall, Ashley."
I handed him a cup and sat next to him and snatched the remote from Alex. He pouted. He looks so cute when he pouts. I have had a crush on him since like forever. I kissed his cheek because he was hard to resist. He hugged me tightly and kissed my forehead. We cuddled up to each other and I played 21 Jump Street. My parents trust Alex a lot when it comes to me talking to boys. I suddenly noticed Jack sitting on the adjacent couch to ours............
