Something Immortal

Chapter 2: Dimensions

Everything was obscurely colored and destitute. The atmosphere is perpetual.

"I will never forget this golden brown hair" A silvery voice made my spine shiver. The voice felt light and pleasant. I turn my back and it was Austin.

I was at lost for words as it feels like an endless time being around with him.

I hear him laugh and I came back to my senses as I was awestruck.

"I'll be with you soon." He smiled and it made me more in love.

"Call an ambulance!"I heard Drake's voice shouted throughout the office

I slowly regain my consciousness; my head begun to feel light and my body was too weak to get up.

"Drake.." I said slowly

"Thank goodness you're okay" he stuttered "I thought I lost you"

"Please help me get up"

"We should go to the hospital! This is serious!"

I used all of my strength to get up and Drake assisted me to lie on the sofa.

"I want to go home now." I requested

"What?! You should not neglect your health!"

I glared to let him know that I mean what I've said.

He sighed. "Fine.. I'll be staying with you for the night. I can't sleep while thinking what might happen if I'm away"

He carried me to the elevator and comfortably placed me at the front seat of his car.

I have gathered my thoughts for now since Drake was busy talking through his phone to arrange important matters in his work.

Now I have realized how these past few months have made my world strange. I have a feeling that I'm joined by a multitude of others. This world I face right now is merely like crossing a bridge into another dimension.

"Don't always dismiss such an instance as a dream or even your imagination. Follow that scent or that light. Pursue that whisper or the mist you seek out of the corner of your eye. Believe and know with all your heart that someday truth will beseech you." A honeyed voice spoke to me in the middle of my thoughts. It sounded nice yet I doubt to trust.

"I didn't say anything" Drake interrupted

I was confused right at that moment.

"You said that I was talking nonsense" He looks at me worriedly and then shifts his gaze at the road

Have I said anything? My body and soul seems separated from reality and into another realm. Is it possible?

He reached out for me and kissed me on my forehead. I heard him pull over his car and carried me inside my house and to my room.

My bed. It made my whole body relax from a horrific situation. It grounds my body to be relieved.

"So you won't tell me?" My mom said while she stands on my door with crossed arms

"What mom? Nothing happened. Normal day as it is." I lied. I don't want my mom to panic and be worried due to her conditions and I can't afford to lose her.

"No lying Aria, please."

Drake suddenly went out from the bathroom which is inside my room. He rubs a clean towel and he got confused when I shot him a death glare. "I haven't told your mom"

Drake knows whenever there's a situation that will trigger my mom's current condition, he must not mention it, ever.

I let out a deep breath. When will this nightmare stop?

"How did you know mom?"

"I have my ways." she sounded angry

A small blinking light appeared at my mom's right eye. "Will talk about this tomorrow" She left while she obviously know that I was going to ask about her right eye.

I slept to regain back my energy.

I wonder what my tomorrow will be.
