THE LOST SOUL

Chapter 12 'Birthday Surprise'

"Reevo Grays! Hits once again!" The deep manly voice announced from the speakers.

I ran all over the field with a my hands in air wearing my victorious smile. I hit the goal to win USA. Goodbye Japan!

Crowd cheering. Girls screaming. Men groaning. Different noises filled all over field. I saw Jamie and I waved at her but since no one could see her but the man behind her waves back in response.

****

At the locker room to change a clean dry clothes. Jamie leaning against besides my locker with her left hand hang in her spiritly hip.

"That's a great game." She said it with a smirk.

"Thanks." and I smiled back.

Someone poked me at my shoulder as I turn around and it's my teammate.

"Hey Kent." I greeted, without looking at him straightly. I tucked my things inside of my locker.

"Reevo, ahhh.. coach is very concerned about you. So uhmm He told me to hire a Psychologist for you." I slowly turned at him with an arched eyebrow. That was kind of insulting.

Behind him is a middle aged bald man, wearing a thick glasses and a suitcase in his hand. He might be the psycologist, he's talking about. I glared at them feircely. Enough to show that I am angry and insulted.

"What the, Do you really think I'm fucking crazy?" I agressively yelled at him.

"Dude, sorry but, This would help y--"

"Bro! You know me. I'm clean and I am normal. Now you believe those fucking rumors?"

The man behind him, never looked back at me. I kicked the lower lockers that could made a noisy metal sound.

"Don't be so stupid. And what makes you think that?" I explained calmly and to keep my temper down.

"Bro, I am not fucking blind! And I'm also not a stupid deaf. I just heard you say 'Than---"

"Shit! I was talking to my god damned phone!" I've been holding my phone since he got here. I know I lied but it is really too much. I closed my locker intensively and left.

This is dissapointing.

I am heading towards my car and paparazzi's are chasing me like idiots. The reason why I got more pissed.

I drive through the highway and I wasn't talking to Jamie the whole time. She's been beside me. Her face looks worried.

Why does people has to be judmental. I hate people always focused on my life. Violates my privacy and disrespecting me.

It is a quite trip, no sounds and any music. Just silence between me and Jamie. Sometimes I wondered of having doubts.

****

It's Wednesday. Mrs. Lambert's Birthday. I don't want to break a promise and I have to keep it. Even if me and Jamie haven't talked yesterday because of my mood. I bought a 3 red roses and Red velvet cake.

As I knocked on their door and the doorknob shakes to open.

Her mother smiled at me seeing the cake on my left hand and roses in left pocket.

"What a surprise Reevo!" She finally smiled. Mrs. Lambert haven't been smiling since the last time I visited.

When we reached on the couch.

Jamie appeared sitting in the other couch in front of me.

"Happy Birthday Mrs. Lambert." I smiled and let her blew the candle. First she makes a wish and I know what she's wishing for.

Jamie's brother came down from upstairs and walks near us.

"Hiiii Reevo!" Giving me a high five. I don't know that her brother knows me. I just smiled and nod at him.

"Reevo, darling. How do you know that today's my Birthday?" She asked and Jamie smiled.

"I dreamt of Jamie last night and she told me that it's your birthday." Her mom forces a smile. Even if it is impossible, I could still manage to make her happy.

"She also said that, She loves you and She misses you.. She don't want you to be sad for her cause Oneday, she'll wake up." I continued. I know half of it wasn't true but I had to cheer her up. Her mother started tear up as his son hugs to comfort her.

I really hope that she'll wake up.

"I love her too." She smiled and dried her tears and walks towards the kitchen to get something. I heard Jamie whispered and gazed at me. "Thankyou"

I smiled at her.

Her mother came back and brought a 3 plates and forks. She sliced a piece of cake for each one of us.

We ate happily. We moved in Jamie's room. We talked more and laughed more. Jamie and her mother has a lot  in common. They have the same eyes and sense of humor. Jamie laughs along with us.

We suddenly stopped hearing knocks on the door.

Paulee entered and brought a gift. He is always suprise to see me. I see he rolled his eyes and ignored me, smiling at him. He greeted Mrs. Lambert a happy birthday.

"Thankyou Paulee. wait, Reevo how did you know that these are my favorite?" Paulee got more irritated cause, Mrs. Lambert talked to me and not him. That felt proud.

"She told me." I pointed Jamie's body. She nodded and smiled. Suddenly, she stands up.

"I have to leave you guys here okay? I'll be back." She hugged Paulee. As she close the door, Paulee asked me with a frowned face.

"She told you?" He chuckled sarcastically.

"Yes." I glared at him and smiled. Trying my best to be annoying as possible. He's sitting at the right couch next to Jamie's body.

Mrs. Lambert always prepares an extra couch for Jamie's possible visitors.

"Jamie is my very bestfriend. She never ever told me that you guys were close." I wanted to tell him what Jamie told me about the dream thing but I know he would still ask me. I didn't say anything but to let him continue what he says.

"Now tell me the whole truth. How?"

I cleared my throat and having doubts. Am I really going to tell him. Maybe, he's Jamie's bestmate. Finally I made my decision. I am going to tell him.

I told him everything and every detail. He kept listening, At first he didn't want to believe me.

The only word fell in his mouth were.

"Is she here?" Jamie is sitting beside her body listening to our conversation.

"Yes" facing where she sat and I smiled at her.
