“Christ Hailey I was all over them, what the hell was wrong with me? I was acting like a bitch in heat!” I’m so embarrassed. Let’s have sex? Who says lets have sex? I don’t even say lets have sex. I’ve been repeating that for the last 45 minutes as I pace my room. Running a hand though my hair and stopping every few minutes to continue my ranting out load to Hailey.

“I was all like let’s have sex?” I say in a slight breathly voice. I stop and sign while looking over Hailey. She has been sitting on my bed snickering for a while now.

“It’s not all that bad Lexi I know you’re feeling a little bit embarrassed, however you seriously need to take a chill pill.” Standing up and walking over to me she takes my hand and walks me in front of my mirror. She stands behind me and puts both of her hands on my face.

“Look at yourself and tell me what you see.” She said. I study myself for a good moment before I reply. I see someone who’s still scared of her past, someone who can’t stop running and hiding. A lone tear makes its way down my face. I reach my hand up to quickly wipe it.

“I know I’m a mess Hailey I just…” Hailey slowly drops her hands and stands beside me.

“You’re just scare, I know. What matters is how we are going to overcome that. You panicking because everything is changing and you don’t know how to fix that.” She turns around and flops on my bed face first, leaving me to face the mirror alone. While studying myself I suddenly remember my dream. Taking a deep breath I slowly walk over to my chest. I don’t know why I’m freaking out so much it was only a dream, I keep repeating over and over again. Getting down on my knees I try to open the chest.

“What on earth are you doing?” Hailey questions from above me, completely scaring the shit out of me. Jumping back I give her an alarmed look.

“Remember when you said I kept mumbling in my sleep on the way to the ice cream shop? I dreamed of a lady giving me a book and telling me to open the chest.” I get back on my knees and try to open it again.

“I think there is a key that goes into it let me get this blanket off.” Removing the blanket I gasp as I see what’s on the chest. It says Elysium on it. Oh my god I’m seriously freaking out right now. I look up alarmed at Hailey.

“I’ve dream of that word before." Looking back down I run my figures across the smooth textures of the wood.

“Didn’t your mom leave you a key before she left on her last business trip?” Hailey ponders for a moment before asking me. I look at her with a silent message of are you serious. I raise my eyebrow at her before I ask "yeah the house key, and It doesn’t even look like the same type of lock so I doubt that will work.”

“No I remember a couple of years ago on your 16th birthday after your mom started leaving on her long ass business trips she left you a key. It was gray and was hooked through a leather key chain.” She looks at me in disbelief when she realizes I still don’t know what she is talking about.

“How can you not remember…hmmm…. You said it was a shitty present for your mom to bring you, when you didn’t see her for 4 months.” she gets up and starts shaking my shoulders. I think she is trying to knock some sense into me. I think back and remember exactly what she is talking about. Jumping up I run to my dresser and start looking through each draw.

“I remember, I was so pissed and so upset, I just wish I would have know that was the last time I would have seen her alive. I wouldn’t have yelled at her for going away all the time.” I say sadly. Still rummaging my fingers gently rub against something in my draw. Pulling it out I look over it to see it’s the same key Hailey was talking about. Moving Hailey out of the way I sink back down on the floor and put the key in the key hole. I’m pleasantly surprised when It opens. I look down at the bottom of the chest and freeze. All I can say is....

“What the hell is going on?”
