Not So Normal (Boyxboy)

Chapter 14

Chapter 14: It's Gonna Get A Little Weird

After hearing Xavier's part of the story, I did a little digging about Charlie Goddwin. Clicking on the first thing I saw, what I found was a bit horrifying. What I saw was something that cannot be unseen, It was a picture of a headless person sitting on a piano as if it was playing it.

In the investigation, the one who was found guilty and was charged for murder was Winslow Moriarty, a famous pianist who was also Charlie's teacher at that time. It was also said in the article that Winslow showed romantic interest on the 15 years old Charlie. Upon the knowledge of Charlie's parent, they decided to sue the pianist for the harassment of their child, ending it with what happens to be a family tragedy. Even till this day the severed head was still missing.

I got so caught up with all the reports that I completely forgot about the time. I wasn't so sure why I was so into this, but it feels like I was doing this in order to stop something bad from happening like the last time, I don't want the repeat of that incident ever. That thought of that incident somehow made me think of how Matthew was doing there without me.

Although he was annoying as hell, I kinda miss his goofiness and stupidity. And the fact that he was busy was a bit suspicious, so I decided to call him and not to my surprise I was sent straight to voicemail.

"So I know you've been kinda busy lately, I just wan't to know if you're doing fine there. This is Sam by the way." I turned off my phone and got myself thinking of some way to let Charlie Goddwin pass on until I fell asleep.

I was standing in the middle of some busy street as I watched people passed by. Out of nowhere everything around me moved so fast that all I could see were motion blur of people passing. And on the distance the passing people started to disperse and what I saw was a girl standing about seven or eight meters away from me.

I couldn't seem to see her face since it was covered by her long black hair. As the scene continued on, she started to move her head in an unimaginable speed causing it to get cut offed from her neck and sent it flying few feet away from me.

I couldn't seem to move as the head rolled towards me, like I was somehow glued to the floor and moving away would make things worst. The head continued to roll until it was on my feet. There I could see a clearest horrifying picture of the hollow sockets to where the eyes were supposed to be, the mouth was wide open as the worms crawled in and out of it. And to my horror it let out a terrifyingly loud scream which made me drop to my knees.

"Hey, wake up!" I heard someone called out from a distance, my body was numb and seems unmoving until I felt a cold water splashed on my face.

My body was in panic and started to pace as quick as I can on my bed making me fall face flat on the floor. I heard a loud laugh from none other than Xavier which earned a glare from me.

"You should have seen your face!" Xavier said in between laugh.

"What the hell?" I hollered. For someone who is popular, he sure seems childish.

"I was just trying to wake you up?" Xavier said in his defense, "I was only trying to help, seems like you were having a nightmare after staying up all night."

"Whatever, now leave, I need to change." I calmly said but still with a bit of authority.

"Sure, sure." He said coolly as he slowly walked towards the door, "I leave you to it."

I paced through my wardrobe to find something to wear for the day and since it was the weekend it was time for me to relax and care nothing of this world. But I have been having this uneasy feeling that just won't go away. The feeling that lingers every time I close my eyes.

"So what you watching!" Xavier appeared out of no where giving me a mini heart attack.

"What the hell! Stop sneaking up on me like that." I gave him a light slap on his arm, "And stop disturbing me."

"That's cool, you watch that show too! Awesome!" He said excitedly as the show started, "It's gonna get a little weird, Gonna get a little wild. I ain't from 'round here, I'm from another dimension."

He just started singing the opening theme song of the show that I was watching and to say that it sounded bad was a lie, it sounded so good and wanting to hear him sing the theme song was just so wrong.

"So what happened?" He asked while we were focused on the scene where Star was fighting the rat.

"What do you mean?" I asked not sure of his question.

"You know, what you dreamed off?" He continued.

"To be completely honest with you, I don't remember any of it." I said, which was the truth, now that I think about it, I can't remember anything of that dream.

And there it was the long awkward silence, though we were watching the show, it seems that both of us wanted to say something, but decided on keep it for ourselves.

"So..." We both said at the same time, which made it much worse.

"You go first." He said awkwardly.

"No, what you were about to say seems more important than what I have in mind."

"What? noo! Pfffft!" He urged, "Just say it."

"No never mind, it sounded stupid now that I think about it." I said and laughed dryly.

"Awhhh come on, now you got me curious." He said pouting.

"Nawww it's nothing really. Just dismiss it." I uttered, I just can't say to him that I could see ghost right, it would seem to come out wrong and weird.

"Don't blame me, I'll do something to you." He said threatened.

"Are you like..." I didn't get to finish what I was about to say when he started tickling me.

"You asked for it!" He huffed and since he was a bit bigger than me he pinned me to the floor quicker than anyone could have thought.

"Please... Stop... I can't... Breath!" I said in between my laugh as he hadn't stop tickling me, "Stop!" I jerked my hands side way making him stop and causing his lips and mine to meet.

We remained in that position with our eyes wide open, not wanting to part for some odd reason.
