Always You

.1.

"Jack....", she's calling me. Liz is calling me.

"Jack, Help me Jack", she cried.

"Liz....", I try to help her but cannot move. I am frozen.

"Jack I'm dying.....", I can't see her crying like this. The moment i pull out my arm for her she starts fading into dust.

"No!...", I cry. "Don't leave me Liz please, Liz please!"

"Help me Jack...", she cries with tears in her eyes.

"Liz!", I call out her name helplessly.

I wake up stumbling on the bed with sweat all over my body. These nightmares still haunt me.

"Jack! wake up you're going to be late", I hear Sam yelling from downstairs.

"I'm up I'm up. Stop yelling at me",I yell back at her climbing off my bed,

I grab the alarm clock to check the time and Oh My God. I'm going to be late again.I quickly take a shower and decide to put on a white t-shirt with a blue pair of jeans.

While running downstairs I smell some pancakes hoping that my sister didn't put the house on fire.

"What are you making today, sis?"

" Pancakes! " she yells in front of my face.

"Well, I hope it tastes as good as it smells."

"Don't worry brother you'll not be alive till then." she walks towards the dining table with a plate in each hand filled with pancakes.

" What?!"

"They're poisoned bro.", she makes a joke and laughs at her own pathetic joke.

"Ha-Ha, shut up dickhead!" , I tell her and we both let out a giggle.

"So.....you had nightmare again?", she asks and i can totally see the pain in her eyes.

"Yes.. .I guess they'll not leave me so easily."

She shifts her chair a little and grabs my hand in hers, "Jack You know that i care about you, don't you?", I know she doesn't express her love for me but deep down get's nervous whenever something bad happens to me.

"I know", i answer her.

"Good", she says while she smiles.

"Wait....what did you just say?"

" I said 'good'"

"No before that, you said that you love me, didn't you?", I say with a weird grin on my face.

"No. I said that I care about you, that's it."

"I think they're the same"

"Well yeah you do because you never opened a damn page of your dictionary. Asshole.", she says out loud.

"Language!", I warn her.

"Ok Captain", she says with a salute. I swear this girl has some serious obsession with marvel movies. I smile at her as we both start eating our pancakes.

Suddenly the bell rings and as usual the troublemaker, the only Mannerless Mobshreen , appears. Again interrupting in between our lovely breakfast .

"Wassup! Old love?", she yells as she tries to hug me but fortunately fails when I block her with my hand. She takes the rejection and turns around to hug Samara.

"Wassup! Girlfriend?", she says while hugging Sam. Being a sweet girl, she politely throws her bag over the couch and shoes beside the rack. And hurriedly takes her plate of pancakes from the kitchen.

"I've told you so many times to call me Jack", I tell Mob.

"Yeah, well I've told you so many times to call me love.", she replied with a wink. This girl has completely lost her mind.

"Why do you want me to call you love? You know that I'm too old for you"

She stops for a while, takes a bite of her pancake and look at both of us back and forth.

She pushes her chair with her feet and walks towards Sam. Then grabs her hand and dramatically kisses on it,"Woow girlfriend may god give health to your hands. Your hands can do wonders."

"Why thank you", Sam says with a big smile on her face and being as sweet and dramatic as her friend bows down to thank her.

She walks back to the dining table and takes her seat, "Yeah back to you old love, what were you saying again?"

"I said! I'm too old-" I shout to prove my point.

"I know I know, Jesus, give me a break. Now Listen, 8 years is not such a big gap. And love has no age bar. Also you look so young and cute and..." she mumbles in between her bites and tries to find more words.

"And?", I try to hide my smile after listening to such honey dripping like words.

"...and Sweet! Yeah sweet. You should think about us sometimes. And always remember that I'm here for you.", she winks at me again. Why is she always winking at me? Ugh.

"Maybe I'll never understand you.", I tell her.

5 minutes later I hear Harrison blowing the car horn outside. I grab my bag and blue shirt from the couch while I try to fit in my shoes. I really need to buy some new pairs of shoes. Thankfully Sam passes me the keys when I reach the door.

"You should teach your friend some manners.", I tell her while I step out of the house.

"I will love ", she teases me.

"Take care, bye", I wave at her while I get in the car where Harrison is sitting on the driver's seat and her girlfriend Lilly on the passenger's.

"Bye!" She shouts as she waves at Harrison and me.Sam blows a goodbye kiss to Lilly and Harrison inserts the key.

.............

"Okay! We're here",Haz says as he parks the car. "Okay babe see you later", he hugs Lilly and she steps out of the car.

"Let's go bro", I tell haz and we both grab our bags while getting of the car.

We both enter our classes and take our seats. The class starts and ends as usual; boring.

"Will you make the journal today or later?" Haz asks me while exiting the class, to which I reply, " I'll think about it". It's just the start of the day and I'm already exhausted.

The moment we reach the hallway, we see a crowd of students standing in a circle with their phones in their hands.

I point at them and ask Haz, " What's happening there?"

"Let's see"

We walk towards the crowd assembled and push people in order to find a place to watch what's going on. We both finally find an empty spot and it appears that two girls are fighting with each other like cats. A student steps out of the crowd and yells" One dollar to see a chic fight!", what's wrong with him.

I move a little to find out who the girls are , but I am able to see only one girl's face. Maybe she's new because I've never seen her. I try to see other girl's face but it is fully covered with the new girl's curly hair.

A few seconds later the new girl shifts her body and we're able to see the other girl's face. The moment we see the other girl, we both look at each other for a moment and let out a deep breath.

WHAT THE FUCK .
