Just Maybe

Normal Day

Hisana POV

I backed away from him slowly, and he almost looked saddened by the action. I took off running down the street, me knees begged me to stop, but I was afraid to listen. 'I'm the only one that can see him? Why didn't I run like this before?' I had so many thoughts running through my head, that I didn't even know what happened until I slammed into something. Or more like someone. I backed away to see that I had ran straight into his chest. I looked back to where I had left him, "how did?"

"You shouldn't be running with your knees like that." He said it so casually, and like he expected me to listen.

"How am I the only one that can see you?"

"I shall explain once you are home." His eyes narrowed at me, and something in me told me to not argue with him. This guy was serious, and he did save me from those drunken perverts... That and even if I tried to get away, he would catch me easily like he just did moments ago.

"Fine." I sighed as I started walking, he next to me in the process. I could feel his gaze on me, and it made slightly uncomfortable. 'Why is he staring at me?' The walk home was silent, and awkward, but at least I made it safely...sort of. "Um, thank you for walking me home." I told him while looking down. He didn't say anything so I looked up to meet his gaze. He had an odd look in his eyes, and some sort of emotion that I couldn't place.

Finally he nodded, "Be more careful." Was all that he said before he started to leave.

"Hey!" I called to him. He stopped walking and turned his head slightly to look back at me. "Weren't you going to tell me how I can see you and those guys couldn't?"

"Another time." Before I could say anything he was gone. Almost like he vanished into thin air, but that's not possible. Or so I thought, I used to believe that monsters weren't real too, but after what just transpired tonight, I'm not so sure anymore.

Sighing I made my way to my bedroom and got ready for bed. Once in bed, I stared up at the ceiling wondering what happened tonight, like what really happened. Everything seemed so odd, and well not normal. There shouldn't be monsters, and I shouldn't be able to see someone that no one else can.

I guess I finally fell asleep, but I don't remember when. I woke to the sun in my eyes, and I groaned as I rolled over to stare up at the ceiling again. 'That was an odd dream.' I thought and stared at the ceiling trying to understand why I would dream that. Along with after all these years, why I would see him. I have seen him in my dreams before, even as a young girl. I never really understood why, and I haven't dreamt of him in months, so why now? Sighing, I knew it wouldn't do me any good to continue worrying about. So standing up, I forced myself to push the thoughts away and get ready for work. Though, while I was getting dressed I noticed my knees were scraped a bit. Okay, that's weird. I'm pretty sure that was all a dream. Right? It had to be.

'Maybe I walked around in my sleep again, and fell?' Yeah, that's it, that's what I am going to stick with. It was all just a dream, only in my head. Finishing up, I rushed to eat breakfast; a small bowl of cereal, and then I ran out the door to head to work.

While walking to work, the sky was clear, the sun shined down, and overall, it was a beautiful day. Nothing out of the ordinary. Everything seemed fine. Just a regular day, like every other day. When I got to work, I said hello to everyone and then went out to serve my first table for the day. A kind older woman, who was a regular and always ordered pancakes with a glass of milk. She tips well too, but I like her because she's kind, and patient. The next table was a group of young teens, most likely just entering high school, and decided to skip their first few class periods. A few of them were a bit rude, but nothing I couldn't handle. This went on as normal, I get a table, I wait on who is at the table, they leave after they've paid, and I get a tip. Unless of course someone wants to be that rude, and not tip. We get those sometimes. Though some don't have enough, and have come back later and gave a tip that went over what was normal tipping, but I was okay with it.

Soon it was my break, and I got a small order of soup. I was happy with the job here, it pays the bills, the food is good, and the people are nice. Though there is more that I would like to be doing. Wouldn't everyone though? There's always so much that could be done, but its up to us if we actually do it. But, I'm comfortable here, and staying here for a while doesn't seem so bad. After my break, it was back to waiting tables, and dealing with a few angry customers because they were having a bad day. Most of the customers were nice, some more so, which is a normal day. My shift was about to end, when he came walking in. To add more to my disbelief he sat down at one of my tables... I stood there staring at him for a moment before finally walking over to him. "Hello." Was all I said as his eyes met mine, and if I didn't know any better, I say that he smiled. Even if only for a moment.
