Nothing Lasts Forever

Chapter 3 - Dreams

I sat up with a confused look on my face. 

"Get the fuck out of my room!" I shouted at the girl wondering how she got in here.

"Boy... You are an angry one, Jaquer was right about you!" Alicee said to me whilst she crossed her arms and rested her back against my wall. 

How was she so calm about all this?

I reached to my nightstand and found the switch of my lamp and quickly flickered it. But it didn't turn on. 

"Uh...uh." She snickered at me. "No lights." 

I saw her figure walk slowly towards me. Her hand gently caressed my cheek, and then her soft lips gently touched mine. But I pulled away from her. What the hell was she doing?

"Do you remember me, Rowland?" She asked. "I am going to help you again."

I grabbed her hand and shoved it off of my cheek. "I don't need help."

"That wasn't very nice." She told me. "You shouldn't hurt a lady."

"Who are you? How did you get here?" I asked her, hoping for an explanation.

"I've told you, I am Alicee. And I can't tell you how I got here, sorry."

"Leave now." I demanded. 

"Your soul is broken, Rowland." She told me, ignoring what I last said. "I can help you fix it."

"What the hell are you talking about? Are you on drugs?" I asked, thinking she was crazy. 

She laughed as if I was a complete idiot. 

"I will leave you because that is what you want." She whispered "I will see you soon."

And then she disappeared out of nowhere. 

What had just happened? Did I just imagine that whole thing? Was I going crazy?

I tried to force what had just happened out of my mind and I got back under my covers and shut my eyes. Hoping to fall asleep.

The next day.

"Rowland! Hurry up, Kyle is waiting outside." My grandmother shouted at me. 

I stepped out of the shower and quickly reached for my black jeans. Then I threw my vest on and grabbed my black jacket. I looked around for my shoes and noticed they were under my bed. 

Once I put my shoes on I took my phone off of charge and noticed it only had 17% left. It had been on charge all night, weird I thought. 

I ignored it and hurried out of the house. 

"Hey dude, your late!" Kyle said to me before pulling me into an embrace. "How are you doing anyway?" 

"I'm fine, I had a weird fuckin dream last night."I told him.

"Oh yeah.. What happened in it?" Kyle asked in a curious tone.

"A girl came in my room, told me I was fucked up and then started kissing me." I said to Kyle.

Kyle laughed. "It is a sign, Rowland. You are missing Jodie, you need a new woman in you life. Well you want a woman." The blond-haired told me.

"I don't want a girlfriend, if that's what you are saying.." 

"Hmm, yeah you do Row. Dream about a girl all over you, it can only mean one thing. You want it." 

"It felt so real." I told Kyle, ignoring what he had just told me.

"Hahaha, are you falling in love with this 'girl' in your dream now?" Kyle asked me with a smirk on his face.

He was teasing me, he always teased me. He was the one person who could get away with it. 

Kyle reached for his jacket pocked and pulled out a packet of cigarettes. 

"You should really stop smoking Kyle." I told him.

"Now, you know that is not going to happen mate." 

I rolled my eyes and continued to walk on. 

Suddenly something caught my eye. A girl, about my age, with long golden hair sitting on a bench with tears falling out of her eyes.

"Hey Kyle, look over there. Across the road." I told Kyle

"What is it?" The blond-haired asked me.

"The girl, she uh.. the one crying." I told him

"Where, mate?" Kyle asked me looking around. 

"Right there! In front of your fuckin face!" I shouted and pointed to the girl.

"There is no one there Row..." Kyle said to me.

I turned to Kyle. "Are you blind or something?" I asked him.

I turned around again to see an empty bench. No one was sitting there, there wasn't a girl crying.

I rubbed my eyes and looked again, but no one. 

"What the fuck?" 

"C'mon mate, lets get to school." Kyle said to me and put his hand on my shoulder with a concerned look on his face.
