To The Sky (An Owl City Fanfic)

Chapter III-There's a Dreamy World up There

I started telling Adam the need-to-know basics about myself. Like how I have dyslexia, and I have ADHD, and that I'm shy and have very bad headaches that causes me to see things. When I told him that he almost feel out of the tree. I was deciding if I should cry or laugh. Adam saw my facial expression and instantly apologized. An awkward silence fell between us. I stared at the tree and picked off bark. Adam coughed and I jumped and started falling forwards. He leaned forward and grabbed the back of my shirt. My heart pounded in my chest. Adam gently pulled me back up. I smiled at him. His brown eyes said: I'll-look-after-you.

"So I know about your mother, I know about your brothers and sisters but I don't know about your dad," Adam said," tell me about your father."

Suddenly, my head started hurting. A loud ringing filled my ears. I clamped my hands over my ears. I saw Adam's mouth moving. He was yelling my name. Next thing I knew I was falling. As I was falling and getting rammed into tree branches, I had a flashback to when a I was three years old.

Flashback

"Daddy! Don't go!" I screeched as I hugged his pant leg and sat on his foot.

He frowned and picked me up. "You know I have to go Sawyer. I need to do this. I spent my whole life waiting for this moment," he said with tears forming in his own eyes," Be a good girl okay? I love you."

Tears poured down my face as I started bawling and I nodded my head in understanding. He hugged me close and attacked my face with kisses. Mom came and got me from him. He gave mom a kiss and shouldered his bag and walked towards the front door. Dad then stopped and looked back. My sobs had died down but I was still crying. We made eye contact. His big light blue eyes showed sorrow as he ran his hand through his dirty curly blonde hair. He then ran back and gave Mom a small box and gave us one last hug before he bolted out the door and locked it behind him. At that moment, I knew he was never coming back.

End of flashback

Thump. I landed on the forest floor. My tailbone hurt and I think I have a broken bone. I checked myself. Nope. No broken bones. Just really sore and I had twigs and stuff in my hair. Slowly, I sat up. I heard Adam yelling my name. I replied. Then I heard him say that he was coming down. A few minuets later, he was sitting beside me on the ground. Adam checked me over and reported that I had no broken bones but I may have a minor concussion. He then asked me what I saw. Confused, I asked what he meant and I wasn't confused. Adam said I was screaming for dad. My face went hot and I stood up. I walked away from Adam and my back was to him. He stood up and was beside me. He grabbed my shoulders. I winced as pain shot through my arms. He made me look at him.

"Sawyer Austin Woods, I am here to help you now please tell me about your dad!" Adam said through gritted teeth.

"How do you know my middle name?!" I screamed as I shoved Adam off of me and walked away.

"Your mom told me, Sawyer! I also know your dad's name was Austin so that's why you have two guy names instead of a girls name!" He yelled

That hurt. And it also didn't make sense but it hurt. I clenched my fists and ignored the pain my brain was receiving. Anger boiled up inside me and I stormed over to Adam. His facial expression was sad and scared.

"You....lied! You...said...you....didn't.....know....anything....about...my.....Father!" I shouted as I punched him with every word.

I punched his chest and felt something snap. I stopped punching him and my breathing was heavy. Adam's face was bruised and his nose was bleeding. He also has a broken rib. His eyes had a look of horror in them. I glared at him.

"I wish I never came," Adam whispered.

Then he did something I never ever thought he would do. He cussed. Adam then shot to his feet and stumbled through the woods away from me. I screamed, grabbed a stick, and threw it as hard as I could. It hit a tree and snapped in half. was still angry. Then my anger was replaced by realization and sadness. I attacked Adam. I hurt Adam. He would never trust me again and this is his first day here.

"Way to go, Sawyer. Meet your idol, attack him, and then make him never wish he came or met you," I muttered to myself. Then I looked up at the sky and screamed, "COULD THIS DAY GET ANY WORSE!?"

Apparently it could. Just then a forest fire struck and it was sunny. I guess it was from the heat. Oh gosh. I'm dead! I thought. I screamed and sprinted towards my house. The fire quickly gaining on me. I ran screaming moms name. The the house came into view. Mom ran out and stared at me like I was crazy. I reached her and looked behind me. How was that possible?! I swear I saw a fire! But it wasn't there. Then mom grabbed the epipen out of my purse and stabbed my thigh. I felt somewhat better. Mom placed her hand on my shoulder and led me inside.

I kept glancing over my shoulder. I knew I saw a fire. We went to the bathroom and mom started picking out the things out of my hair. The I told her what I saw, she stopped what she was doing, reached in my purse, and shoved a pill in my mouth. In surprise I swallowed it with out any water. When mom was finished she told me that Adam was in his room laying in bed. She also told me that I'm grounded. I figured that. Mom said I was done and I could go. I ran upstairs and into Adam's room. I reached his room and he had a bandage wrapped around his chest.

He laid in bed with the covers over him and his eyes were closed. Up close, I saw that I did some damage to his face. The whole left side was purple and black. His eye was also black. I touched it to see it he would do anything. Then his eyes shot opened and grabbed my wrist. His grip was tight. Tears stung my eyes and his grip tightened. He is going to break my wrist! Adam's face showed hatred and he was determined to break my wrist. Suddenly, he let go of me and sighed. Adam then started crying. Oh man.

"Mr. Young I'm sorry for attacking you," I apologized,"please don't leave. I'm sure-"

"Who said I was leaving?" Adam exclaimed as he smiled, "Sawyer I made a promise to myself to help you. And that's what I'll do. Now I am sorry for cussing. I usually, no take that back, I never cuss. Do you forgive me?"

I nodded my head. Adam's smile grew bigger. He tried to sit up but ended up groaning in pain. I decided that I would stay by Adam's side all day until nightfall.

Later that Day

Nightfall came and Adam and I laid in the backyard staring at the stars. We laid on blankets and saw a bunch of stars. Since we're in the country it's easy to see them. I looked over at Adam. A smile was spread across his face and he reminded me of a little kid. I slipped my hand in his. He looked over and kissed my forehead.

"I take back what I said earlier about saying I wish I never came. Actually, I am glad I came. In fact, I'll take risks of being beaten up by a girl for that matter. This bruise will heal in two weeks or so!" Adam said as he gestured to his whole face.

I laughed. "Adam you just gestured to your whole face."

He laughed as well. "I guess I did Sawyer. I guess I did. And you called me 'Adam' instead of 'Mr. Young'."

"Is....um.....is that alright?" I questioned

"Yes. It is alright," he replied.

Then he looked back up at the stars. They were beautiful. A shooting star went across and Adam and I both made a wish. We stayed out there for two more hours. Then out of nowhere Adam stated,

"There's a dreamy world up there."

I looked at him and he looked at me. "What in the world is that supposed to mean, Adam?"

He shrugged his shoulders and sat up. Adam helped me up and we went inside. By then it was midnight and we weren't tired so Mom let us stay up. She also told us that we have to go to town tomorrow for something. Adam and I raced upstairs and we went into our bedrooms and got our pajamas on even though we were going to stay up. We then went back downstairs and into the living room. Adam said we should do a Lord of The Rings marathon. I got excited. Mom went upstairs and went to bed. Adam started 'The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring' and we both ended up falling asleep in the middle of it on the couch beside each other.
