Seven Regrets
(1) 1st regret
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I was strolling down a hill, my mom had called me, well, she did, in my mind, I think it was a hallucination but I get a feeling that somethingâs happened...
âOw...â I tripped and grazed my knee, I got up and run to our house which was a few meters away...
I slowly opened the door, dreading what I would see, I had several nightmares about a situation like this, but they were nightmares, nowhere close to reality...
I peeked by the door, I froze where I stood, on the floor was my mom, she wasnât breathing and she was in the exact position Iâve seen her in one of my dreadful nightmares...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I wake up to reality, sweat dripping down my face, I look around, my room, it was just a dream, just a dream...
âKristine! Are you there?â I hear a voice from downstairs, I didnât get scared, I knew that voice.
âJordan! You came in without my permission again!â I say as I sit up, wear a coat and start getting myself ready.
He doesnât respond, I fix my hair into a neat ponytail and go downstairs...
âJordan, what is it this time?â
âArenât you going to school?â
âI didnât enroll, remember?â
âI enrolled you so get yourself ready and we shall be going.â
I look at him, wide-eyed, he enrolled me without my permission?!
âWhat?! You enrolled me?!â
âYup, since it was me whom your mom asked to take care of you, I need to prioritize you so I have all my responsibilities for you and I also need to commit to the promise I made to your mom before she--â
âJordan...â I cut him off âI have a life! I canât go to school like you! I support myself!â
âTsss, still regretting your momâs death?â
I froze, I didnât respond. What he was saying was exactly true...
âOk, it would be your decision whether you are going to school or not, well, if you could excuse me, I shall be going now...â he said as he took one last glance of me then he stalked off.
I stick out my tongue as he turned his back.
Well, you must all be wondering why I am regretting my momâs death? That is because I can see death, in dreams or visions suddenly coming through me, Iâve seen Jordanâs death around four times for my whole life, well, his situations were different, they were mostly unexpected and mostly related to vehicular accidents so I could do anything about it.
I took a bath and decided to go to school anyway, I have nothing to do, I have no work, how would you expect a sixteen-year-old student to find work easily?
I get my bag, I had all the equipment for school since land before time so I have not a need of buying new books at all, well, Jordan had to make sure of that but saying that heâs pretty serious, but stupid at times, I donât really know whatâs in his mind though I am highly gifted in psychology...
