Love to the Moon And Back

Chapter 4

I walk to my room and lay on the bed. I look at the roof. I notice I can't see the roof as clearly as I did a few days ago- it's more...blurry. I go to the bathroom and wipe my glasses. I jump on the bed again and look at the roof- it's still blurry. I look around to notice all my posters are harder to read - all the signs outside of my balcony are a mess of blur. I keep my mouth shut and just hope tomorrows surgery will do a difference. I grab my jacket and my phone. I walk out of my room putting on my jacket.

"Mom - I'm going out!" I yell from downstairs. I unlocked the door. I open the door to see that the same boy knocked at my door with my wallet in his hand. I stare at him and forget my surroundings.

"Umm..you left this in my car - I wondered that it was probably yours." He said handing over my wallet.

"Thanks- um how do you know where I live?".

"We are across houses"

"Oh ok. Bye now." I close the door shut hoping he left already. I peak through my wallet to see if he took anything. Everything is clean. I look through my window without making a sudden move. I see him hoping inside the red Jeep and drive away.

"I thought we lived across houses?" I whisper to myself. I walk outside , taking in the smell of nature. I close the door behind me. I walk down my front porch and take out my journal from my purse.

"Well .. I'm done for the day , and I survived. Everything was great. I think I did a good job making people believe me and I hope they get that feeling that "I'm okay , thank you" and they will understand.. hopefully."

I put my journal down to the right of me and just focus on the beauty of mother nature. I should probably enjoy it now before it goes aways. I close my eyes and imagine that I'm in the Grand Canyon , up on the biggest hill and wonder
"Will this ever happen?"

I get up and walk to my car. I pull out my keys and plunge them into the door. I turn on the car and realized I forgot my phone inside. I walk out of my car and into the house. I don't see them anywhere.

"MOM!!! , HAVE YOU SEEN MY PHONE??" I said shouting.

"NO BUT LOOK IN THE KITCHEN OR IN THE THEATER!" she said shouting back. I look in the kitchen counter .. there is nothing but just some bananas and a half eaten apple ... Probably left by my younger brother Elijah.

*Knock Knock*

I walk to the door and slightly peek through it to see who it was. It was the boy again. I opened the door so I can see him better.

"What Happened now?" I asked.

"I just wanted to introduce myself.. I felt weird just coming up to your house earlier giving back your wallet .... Which I could have kept. So I thought might as well give you my name." He said.

"Hm.. so mystery guy has a name" I thought to myself.

"My name is Chance" he said.

"Woah,unique name.. not bad buddy" I said to him giving him a fake smile.

"Well that's it , hopefully this makes me feel better" he said walking away with his phone in one pocket and a notepad in the other. I slam the door shut.

"Totally not awkward." I say to myself.

"WHO WAS THAT?" my mom said shouting from upstairs.

"JUST A MYSTERY GUY" I said.

"Just a mystery guy."
