Chapter 21: Chad

Song Of The Chapter: From Where You Are by Lifehouse

It was weird. It felt like the gazebo was at this point stalking us. Like it needed us. Honestly, I couldn't tell you what I thought. My thoughts were no longer my own. They belonged to the closest people to me too. All I know, is that when I entered the gazebo, I saw Faith, but it was a hallucination. I saw her, everything she was doing, but it wasn't her.

"Faith?" I whispered.

"I can see you," she kelted back. I knew she would be able to see me too.

"But where are you?" I asked.

"Home," she replied. She was so confused, maybe as confused as I am.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Faith asked. It was random, of course.

"No, I think you're the smartest, prettiest girl in the world. Why do you ask that?" I replied.

"Because," she started, "Al and Trin...they're smart. They're like GENIUSES and then there's me as their best friend who's just dumb and I have these plain Jane eyes and I'm just average," she released.

"Faith," I started, "you're smart. You know that. You're ditzy. You know that. You're oblivious and you're charismatic and witty and funny in all the right ways. Your sense of humor doesn't make you dumb. Your humor makes you a better person...it makes you YOU." I told her. Suddenly her image looked at me. She started walking towards me and she reached out her hand. I could feel her, and I could hear her breathing.

"I love you," she said.

"I love you," I smiled. I leaned down to kiss the figure, hallucination, whatever it was that was taking place of my girlfriend, and she kissed me back with a firey passion that I adored and loved so much.

As if my body was being taken over, i suddenly grabbed "Faith" and moved her onto the bench that was ours and within 1...2...3...I was out cold.

I woke up, energized, ready to take the day. "Faith" woke up at the same time I did and we grabbed each other's hands as we walked out.

We were talking about Italy when not even 20 steps later she disappeared, along with the gazebo.

"I miss you.." I kelted to her. I missed her a lot. She was always on my mind.

"Muah!" She kelted me. Everything about her is perfect. I wish that knew it too.

I stopped talking to him him last month because I didn't want to lead him on. But there is this guy and he's my best friends brother. He's nothing like I thought he'd be, but he's everything I want and more. And honestly I'm so happy with life right now because he NEVER fails to make me smile.
