Chapter 4

CHAPTER 4: Jessica

         I decided to go for a long run today, turns out I don’t know my home town as well as I thought. I got lost. I ended up in some park really far away from my house. I spent almost 2 hours running. How did I not realize how long I was running? I don’t get it, but I need to be home in an hour or Mandy will ground me forever.

         “Jessie?” A voice near me says my name sweetly, but sounds confused. “Jessie, is that really you?”

I turn to look at whom the voice is coming from. My breath leaves me, my heart stops beating in my chest, and my legs go weak. It’s my mother. The mother who, both Adam and me have believed to be dead. I watched her die, 5 years ago, she slowly faded, and one day we all gathered round and watched helplessly as the life drained from her, every drop.

         “Mom?” I said my voice cracking and tears threatening my eyes. “How are you here? I watched you die. You left us.”

         “No, darling I had to die, so thus I could escape.” She smiled at me, her eyes looked joyful again.

         “Escape from what? What was so horrible that you had to die to escape, also if you’re dead how are you here.” I don’t trust her, whatever she is.

         “I can’t tell you, all I can tell you is you’re in danger. Be safe dear.” With that she turned and began walking away. I fallowed after and grabbed her shoulder; the woman who turned around wasn’t my mother.

         “Oh I’m sorry.” I said flustered. “I thought you were someone else.” She glared at me, and pushed my hand off her shoulder. What the hell was going on here?

         Did I really just see my mother or am I insane? I started to run again, and straight into a boy. Of course, just what I need more crap to deal with.

         “Sorry, I wasn’t looking where I was going.” I said breathlessly, and still a bit freaked out. I looked up at him, and my jaw went slack.

         “Oh, no it’s my fault, I must apologize.” He said. “Sorry Jessica.” He turned and started to walk away. I stared after him, confused. Did I tell him my name? I was sure I hadn't.

         "Wait!" I called after him. He stopped and turned around, I ran to meet him. "How do you know my name?"

         "I don't know. You look like a Jessica." He mumbled, and began to blush. It's now that I realize he has dirt all over him, and leaves in him hair. What did he do? Sleep outside?

         "Do we know each other?" I ask

         "I'm pretty sure we don't," He says, "I'm just good at guessing. That's all"

         "Whatever, I thought I recognized you, but you would definitely laugh if I told you why." I say then I start to run again, this time I watch where I'm going. I just want to get home, I don't need another detour. I put my earphones in and blast Ke$ha music, it's surprisingly soothing when I'm upset. I'm a little freaked out now. First I think I see my mother, and then I run into the boy who tries to save me in my dreams. Am I going crazy?

         I make it home just in time for dinner, Mandy looks suspicious, but she can't know, can she? I eat fast, then go to my room so I can write in my journal, this was a freaky day. I really hope this doesn't happen again anytime soon.

          I can't tell anyone about this, first of all they would think I'm crazy and second, I wasn't even sure what I saw. What would I even say, I saw my mom as a ghost thing, and the boy from my dreams nearly ran me over. Where did my normal life go, I miss it. I finish recording my weird day, get ready for bed and lay down with my favorite book. I read until I fall asleep with the book open on my face, one of these days I'm going to wake up with words on my forehead.
