Dreamer Of Reality

Chapter 6 ~ (The First Letter)

I know I have a wild imagination but what I saw in the envelope was out of my expectations. I remember this handwriting, I remember every word in this letter, the grammatical mistakes along with the vocabulary mistakes, I even remember the way I wrote this letter.

Alice looked at me with raised eyebrow waiting me to say anything,  but I was lost from the words, I didn't know what to say or what to do so I just looked at the letter again remembering how I wrote it and gave it to Luc at his birthday. Alice came near me and looked at the letter reading the first lines only and her eyes were wide open, I think she got it.

"You wrote this letter to Lucas?." She asked with pure shock and I just nodded lightly and looked at the letter reading it silently.

Dear Lucas...

Today is a wonderful day just because you were born on this day eight years ago, since I met you I knew that you will be an amazing brother to me, -along with my lovely Derick-.

I decided that from now on I will call you 'Luc', and I know that you asked me to do it many times before but I was waiting this day just to obey you, and I hope you didn't mind my stubbornness because I really want you to stay close to me and I don't want my behaviour to affect our friendship.

I took a deep breath and I could feel the heat in my cheeks, I can't believe I wrote this things to Luc! I looked at Alice expecting her to laugh or something but to my surprise, she was waiting for me to continue reading the letter. And that what I did.

I know you hate anyone to call you 'Lucas' so from now on i will call you Luc, just because i want you to remember me whenever anyone called you Luc.

This may be ridiculas but I just found it special.

The rest of the paper is ripped ! just what the hell is that !! I was so deep in my memories therefore I couldn't see anything except these few lines that was written by eight-years-old girl.

Alice spotted her hand on my shoulder shaking me a little bit to wake me up from my shock, well it wasn't a shock but I don't know what was that feeling.

"That can't be true! I gave this litter to Lucas years ago and NOW when he is ......" I couldn't say that word because of the lump that rise in my throat but I just can't be weak and cry in front of Alice, I don't even know her last name !. So I took a deep breath and looked again at her reading the confusion written all over her face waiting me to explain why I just exploded.

"Dead, now he is dead and I -all of a sudden- got a part of a litter I wrote to him when we were eight years old, who the hell would do something like that! and whoever the damn sender is, how the hell did he or she got this litter!."

"Well, first, part of the little." Alice said calmly like what I said wasn't that big of a deal. "And second maybe his sister sent this litter for you to make sure that you have something reminds you of him.".

I met her today at the school and now she's at my house helping me to know the god damn unknown sender. Just Great.

I stayed silent for few minutes letting Alice's words sink in my head. Maybe she's right about Thalia's part, but why would Thalia senf part of the letter not all of it?. You can run to her house and ask her, I heard a voice in my head saying that, maybe that what I should do? Maybe I have to as-. A big lazy yawn interrupted my thoughts and reminded me that I didn't sleep yet.

"You were exploding few seconds ago and now you're yawning?." Alice said with amusement in her voice.

"I will talk to Thalia tomorrow and ask her about this part-litter." I said lazily.

"Okay then, I left my number on your cell phone when you were sleeping at your room today. If you need anything call me." I felt guilty for my behaviour with her in the last few hours.

"It's almoat midnight now, you can stay here if you want." I know I didn't like Alice when I met her today, well I didn't like the idea of her knowing everything about me. But after all she is here with me, she deserve to be treated good.

"Umm, I don't know. Is it okay with you? I mean you kno-"

"Alice it's okay with me, come on I will show you the spare room."

I went up stairs and Alice behind with a soft smile on her lips, I don't know if I'm smiling like her too.

We reached for the spare room next to mine and I opened the door leading Alice inside.

"There are a few clothes here at the closest, and ypu have your own bathroom too." I said calmly and a little bit nicely because I know I owe here for my behaviour.

I left Alice in her room and went to the kitchen because I felt like an earthquake in my stomach, Alice spent all the day with me and I didn't even asked her if she is hungry or not, Shame on you Amy.

I prepared some spaghetti and some of the food my mother cooked when we were at her house, after few minutes Alice came down wearing pink short and white tank top, familiar to the pajama I was wearing.

"I prepared a late dinner." I said as calm as I calm trying to hide my awkwardness.

"Yeah, thank you." She replied quietly with weak smile, I guess she was trying to make it easy to me.

The dinner went silently so after exchanging out goodnights we headed to our separate rooms.

I couldn't sleep, Why?, I don't have any idea. I kept reading that part of the letter over and over and over again, there is nothing in this piece of paper but it was just weird, maybe Lia is trying to- try to- trying to what? why would she send this part-litter for me? why didn't she send the whole letter? Why wou- . A soft knock on my door interrupted my thoughts, I yelled softly a 'Come on in' waiting Alice to open the door, and she did. I sat up looking at her while she qas making her way to my king sized bed, she sat on the edge of the bed looking at me silently, it was like she wanted to say something to me but she is arguing with herself so I waited for her to say anything, and after a few seconds she did, she asked a quistion that made my blood freeze in my veins.

"You know you didn't kill your brother, so why are you blaming yourself for his death?"

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

(What do you think about Alice's quistion :D ?
