Chapter 3
"Yeah I can't think straight, I don't even remember every wrong I'm saying. I mean word, woooord. That sounds weird. Why is weird spelt like that, I think it's weird. Whatever... I think I should get back to outside now." I continued wondering what was up with me, probably all of the blood trying to settle where it's "supposed to be".

I go back outside feeling better realizing how long I lasted without my ears bleeding.

"Maybe doing this will help me."

"Doing what?" Yoongi asked.

"Holding my breath underwater longer and timing myself. It helps me hold it in better and stay longer in the deep end." I answered, trying not to push the words out too quickly. Which I 99% failed..

"How deep is it?" He asks standing up and bringing the pump over.

"Just twelve feet, I wish it was a little bit wider." I responded taking the pump back shyly with a smile on my face.

"Really?! Ddaeng, I don't think I'd go that deep! I can only hold my breath for like, two seconds." He smiled sweetly with a small grin.

"You're joking obviously..." I giggled, still having the idea of having a total stranger in my range.

"... but how much can you really hold it?" I try to keep the conversation going thinking of an idea.

"I don't know, I never get the chance to swim a lot. I could bike to the lake but there's too many rocks and I'd rather just sit there and enjoy the scenery." He tells me looking toward his right where the lake is.

"Well, would you like to swim with me? I'm actually kinda bored, all alone, with nothing to do, and... did I say bored?" I played around smiling, putting both of my hands in my short's pockets. Watching youtube helped me actually have the smallest amount of humor.

I forgot I'm still shirtless.

"I mean I could, I would have to borrow your clothes and I don't want to do that. Maybe we could hang out another time though. Maybe also when it's not too hot outside. I had planned on getting home earlier so I decided to wear this outfit."

"It's cool, it was nice meeting you... by the way." I smiled, closing my eyes for a second longer.

"Yeah, me too. I'll be off now... thanks." He smiled back taking a last glance at me as he turned pushing his bike getting ready to hop on it.

"And now I have a headache again... great." I tell myself. Minutes later in my room after freaking out and being jumpy, I decided to sit there, at my window, upside down.

"I miss him already, I feel like I've known him for such a long time... kinda."

I was too lazy to change clothes and didn't feel like getting in the pool anymore. I felt weird, and I couldn't stop thinking about him. All I wanted was to be able to feel comfortable actually standing on the ground. I liked that I felt normal for a while but then I got a weird sensation and then it went to pain. If only I had the chance to meet people, talk to him, text... people. Text him!!

"What the heck! I should have asked for his number! ARE YOU DUMB?!" I walk up to the center of my room, back facing my window.

"Kill... me now." I say dramatically closing my eyes and arms out letting my body fall onto the ceiling, face first.

"Sunshine, why is it so cold in here?"

I hear her voice, this must mean I have survived..

"I don't know, it got too hot I think." I responded.

"I turned off the ceiling fan so you can remove your head from there now. I know you like seeing how things work but next time don't have it on at the same time, okay? You're gonna hurt yourself."

Oh, wow.

"Okay, I will..."

"Also, why is this pump here? How'd you get to it?" She pointed near my door as I sat up still on the ceiling.

"Oh, I got bored and decided to see what was in the garage, saw it, climbed down a little and reached it. Then I used it to blow air in my face and stuff so now it's kinda red." I chuckle. The face plant didn't do the job.

"Oh, so you didn't get in the pool. I see you're wearing the same black/green shorts, and black socks." She said, still looking up and ready to exit my room.

"Yeah, it was too hot, so I didn't feel like it."

"Okay, well I already know for sure you haven't slept this whole time. Go to bed okay, I'll wake you once the food's ready then I'll be heading back to work."

"Okay, thank you." I yawn and smile.

"It's fine if you keep the pump here, just don't make any messes. Love you!" She blows a kiss walking out and shutting the door behind her.

"Love you too." I dropped myself on my bed.

I take the toilet paper out of my pocket and throw it to my right where the trash bin should be next to my bed, luckily my ear didn't bleed a lot. I didn't expect that, at all. Just the pain, but there was more of the unexpected. I felt another piece of paper in my other pocket. More solid.

It was his number, the stranger's number. Well, Yoongi's number! No way anyone else would have put it there. It's 6:57 pm, I'll just add him to my contacts. My mother doesn't see that activity, only searched browser history, watched history, and how long I'm on my phone, when I'm active. Maybe the app I'm on the most but whatever, she doesn't check that.

I got up and hid the number in one of my drawers which is on the actual ground. I'm allowed to step on the ground but my mama asks me for how long I have been. I'm always obedient but now, I want to adjust to it more.

I went back to my bed. All I could think about was how it all felt like a dream, about some guy who needed my help, from me of all people. Then he slips his number in my pocket when? Is this when my life starts? Or... yeah, I should just go to sleep.

"Maybe I'll see you again someday, and maybe... that exact day, I'll be normal...

cause gosh i wanna-! *falls asleep*
