Night Visions

Chapter 6

I was still scared, I didn't know why though.
He seemed like a pretty nice man and he sort of...likes me.
As the book I was reading said,
If the ghost looks at a beautiful girl, he is willing to love her even though she has already met the ghost. At first she is afraid of him.
At first I didn't get what that meant until now.
It was almost dawn and it was time for me to go home.
"I have to go," I said to Joe Jr as I walked out of the clearing.
"Wait!" Joe Jr grabbed my shoulder and spun me around until I was facing him, "you don't tell no one what you have seen tonight."
I looked at him in confusion, "what are you talking about?"
Joe Jr sighed, "listen Tranessa, I know I just met you and-" he paused, "oh never mind, just go."
"What-"
"Just go!" Joe Jr shouted as he faded away.

I didn't know what that was about and I don't wanna know.
I walked down the dirt trail until I've reached the mouth of the woods.
The window to my bedroom was still open but, the light was on.
Someone was in my room.
I panicked and started running over to my house, as I got there I peeked into my room and sighed in relief. It was just Brielle picking at my C.Ds again.
I climbed into our bedroom as Brielle looked up at me in surprise, "well there you are," she said, putting back a C.D into the case, "I was worried, I've been looking all over for you."
I didn't want to talk right now because I was so tired.
I walked over to my bed and layed down.
"Where did you go?" Brielle asked.
I didn't say anything as she pushed, "well?"
I still didn't say anything. Brielle sighed as she walked over to her bed, I can't tell her what I seen in the woods, I can't tell her about Joe Jr.
And if I did then, I don't know what will happen between me and my parents.

I closed my eyes and imagined Joe Jr's handsome face and slit-less eyes and his arms oh gosh his arms, they were muscled and so big that I couldn't stop staring at them in my mind.
But, does he like me? I don't know, maybe Jacy could be right about that.
I will tell her tomorrow about Joe Jr.

I turned over until I was laying on my back, I stared up at the ceiling deep in thought.
Don't tell no body, Joe Jr had said, but why did he say that though?
I was confused so confused that I already knew that this was going to be another sleepless night.
