You Were There

You Were There (One Shot)

I have a secret, a secret that nobody else knew. And that is I can leap through different places in my dream in my own will. I can make it happen if I want to. I can go to Italy, Canada, Japan you name it.When I discovered my ability at the age of twelve, I thought I was going crazy. Who on earth can control his or her dreams at will? Maybe I'm the only one.

And I tried it many times, just so I could make myself believe that I'm not going nuts. That everything I did was real, mastering and making it my habit. This ability of mine is like a gift from heaven, I can do everything in my dreams. I feel like I'm the ruler of this world.

At the same time, it feels like a curse. And that was loneliness. Whenever I leap into different places I noticed that I'm the only one who exists in here. I can't deny that I feel lonely. Sometimes I feel like I was waiting for someone. And I don't know why.

Then an accident happened, I was happily eating my blueberry macaroons on one of the famous pastries in Paris. Then something just took away the last macaroon in my hand, which was bound to be eaten.

"Hey! What's the big ide-?" I pause. I feel like my jaw just drop on the ground. Eyes widen with pure shock. It wasn't something, rather it was someone.

In front of me, there was a guy smiling widely at my way.He's six foot tall, wearing a turtleneck underneath his leather jacket, ripped jeans, and the usual chucks. From head to toe, he's wearing all black.

"A blueberry macaroon? Sweet." Without hesitation he ate it in one go. NO! My macaroon! After eating the last macaroon, he looked at me and took a step closer until we're only inches away.

My feet rooted at the ground, I couldn't move. I can't believe it! There's a living person in front of me. Someone just trespass into my dream. But how could he just enter into this place? This is really impossible!

"Who are you? And what are you doing in my dream?"Backing away from him and keeping a straight face. I only received a grin as a response and placing his both hands at the side pockets of his jacket. "Who knows? I'm just a lost tourist here, well if you don't mind being my tour guide." He said while winking at me. Ugh! What an annoying personality.

"Sorry but I don't want to be someone's tour guide, especially when that person is popping out of nowhere. Well if you excuse me, I'm going somewhere." I said while turning my back away from him. I closed my eyes and think on what place should I visit, away from here, especially from that guy.

Within seconds I already reached my destination. I slowly opened my eyes and examine the place. Big oak trees towering at every side of the road, tons of orange maples scattered on the ground, and the never ending silence. I'm at Quebec City in Canada; it's one of my favorite places that I usually visit. It's peaceful and beautiful here.

That guy, how could he just appear in my dream? I've been leaping through different places without seeing a single person. Enough! Stop thinking about that person; Thank goodness he's not here anymore-

"So this is what Canada looks like. Nice choice of place." His face in awe while studying the place. Tsk! I talked too soon. I took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes. "Let's cut to the chase. How did you get into my dream? Why are you following me? And what is your purpose? I demand for an answer."

"Quite a temper you are.Okay. First of all, I don't know and that's the truth. Second, I'm not following you. It's just that wherever you are, I'm always there. Pulling me towards you, like a strong magnet. And lastly, that's for you to find out. So relax! I'm no one's enemy; rather I'm someone's important friend." He said while looking at me in the eye. It looks like he's not lying.
