What Could Go Wrong ?

are we going crazy.

Chapter 5

"Okay, so you're telling me you did this?" Emily asks  for the twentieth time now.
"Uh ha" I reply trying to convince myself the stain will disappear  any second now

Currently I'm sitting on my bed next to my best friend.
I basically explained everything to her and she thought I was going crazy at first, eventually after a while of convincing her I wasn't going crazy she believed me.
I don't think she fully believed me though, I feel like she's waiting for some proof, and the truth is I'm also waiting for some crazy and abnormal shit to happen.
And now we are here in my room examining the stain.

"Do you think I should tell my mom?" I turned away from the wall and looked at Emily.
"I wish I knew what to say...honestly I'm still shocked Madison" she replies and throws her body on the bed we're sitting on, I decide to do the same , and now we are both staring at the sealing.

" it's crazy, huh?" I ask Emily while my eyes burn holes in the sealing.
"Very" she says with a small giggle the goes unnoticed.
"Well I've come up with something I think could give us answers".

Emily sits up straight and looks down at me signaling that I should sit up straight, I follow her command and sit up straight then face her "okay...I know this might seem crazy but I think it might work".

She signals with her hand for me to keep talking "yeah, go on".
"Emily there's something I haven't told you", I scratch the back of my neck,  "something really big".

She looks at me confused as if battling with herself not to overreact about the situation.
She then takes a deep breath in and closes her eyes and breathes out "okay, how bad is it?...because if you've been keeping it a secret for a long time and not being able to tell me about it then it better be good Madison".

I look at her with  pleading eyes and give her my full attention " okay uhhm, when I was really young , maybe seven or eight, I...I did something really bad and  it's been haunting me till this day" I look away from her and start having second thought about telling her, I mean what if she thinks different of me, what if she never wants to be with me ever! I just can't let that happen, I love this girl like my sister and this might just push her away.
I'm just too scared to lose someone I love again.

I tense as I feel a warm hand brush my back slowly and soon relax after realising it's just Emily "Madison no matter how big this is , I'm your best friend and I'll never let anything get in the way of this friendship...I..I do wanna help you but you have to tell me what's going on, or at least trust me".

I somewhat feel so much better and realise that sooner or later I'll have to tell her this anyway "okay so before I moved here, I obviously had a life from where I was from so I had friends...but I had one really Close friend and his name was Jasy, he told me to call him that because it would make our friendship weird and special so I told him to call me Madzy, I was young and I had nothing else in mind-basically we never knew each others full names...he was a really amazing person and he was really sweet-".

"Was?" Emily asks with a confused expression.

I look at her defeated "yeah, he died-i guess.
We were really young and I was starting to get attached to him so much that it hurt so bad when he uhh died...He....he died in front of me Em" I feel my vision getting blur from all the tears swelling up in my eyes, but I gather all the courage and decide that Emily needs to know the full story, but before I can even continue I feel a warm hug embrace me."oohh hunny , it's okay,let it out, don't hold anything in".
At those simple words I feel my warm tears run down my cheeks but do nothing to remove them as I feel more tears running down my cheeks.
We stay like this for a while and I finally pull away from her deciding to continue where I left off.

"Emily it all happened so fast, it was so quick that I didn't have time to comprehend what happened...we were playing in  my backyard and it was my birthday so we were exited, I more than him. After a while of playing and running around I was so exhausted and decided to lie on the grass, he soon joined me and it was so relaxing just looking at the clouds with him, it was okay and normal until I felt weird , it was as if in a blink of an eye my whole body was filled with energy and I could just bolt it out anywhere...I'm guessing I did bolt it out because the next thing I knew was he was on the floor having a shock that ended his life, I know I did it because I saw it happen.
My mom tried to convince me that it was lighting and not me but I knew All my life that it was me and it's been haunting me till this day".

Shock would be an understatement right now because what's on Emily's face  is pure ,utter disbelief. Her eyes are as wide as a hawk and her mouth is open wide that I can see all her intestines-okay that was overly dramatic, but she does look shocked.

I tap her shoulder to see if she's alive " I uh...okay what, are you sure, I mean it can't be , it's just not believable" she finally says.
"I know it sounds unreal and crazy but I swear it's true. "

"What about his family" she asks trying to keep calm.
"My mom was able to convince them it was lighting, they believed her because it was cloudy outside ...I still had my doubts, I mean I saw it happen. "

"So he died?...just like that" she asks seeming unsure of everything.
I quickly shift from my position on the bed and sit in a more comfortable position and look at Emily "well...my mom just decided it would be best if we moved away and started a new life since I was probably 'traumatized' from seeing 'lighting' that close to me. I just assume he's dead because I never heard much from his family after everything".

"it always happens every year, this whole lightning electricity thing...usually on my birthday and every year it's stronger, my mom usually says it's just a bad dream or I imagined it but I knew deep down that she was trying to make me feel better or at least normal and I never managed to erase from my mind. But Jasy was the only person I killed or hurt".I look at Emily and decide to keep quiet and study her reaction before I confuse her any more.
She's quick to surprise me by smiling and rubbing my arm gently " I believe you, yes it's crazy and yes it's way out of the ordinary but I believe you". She says with a determined expression.

I quickly recover from the way her words shocked me and rub my neck "thank you, I was so worried you'd think I'm going crazy".I say while sighing out loud.
"it...It  is crazy" she says with a nervous chuckle "But I'm you're Best friend, I know you wouldn't just say random shit like that for fun".
As if she just remembered something she quickly says " wait how is this going to help us exactly".

"Ooh yeah, I forgot about that...so I know my mom knows more than she's telling me , so I'm going to lead her into telling me the truth" I sigh and run my fingers through my silky curls "even if she says I'm going crazy"
Which I definitely know I'm not.

Acknowledging what I can do feels like I just opened a door, of what? I don't know exactly.
But It feels somewhat good to finally accept what I can do...now my mind wants to know more and find out every single secret behind these weird powers or curse.

The hard question is 'where do I start'.
I'm just glad I have someone with me in this whole disaster.
And I know I can trust her.
My amazing best friend Emily.
