IX: The Reveal

"Andrei, answer me."

Joshua looked at me with sincerity

"Answer me with the truth, I want to know. You've been acting differently from the Andrei I knew 1 week ago. You suddenly became smart, so good at volleyball and it looks like you've gotten more mature."

I sighed, and I answered with the truth

"Yes... I'm not from this time. I died 15 years from now and when I woke up Monday morning I was here."

Joshua looked at me and he smiled.

"It's nice to see you again Andrei."

I looked to him and tears were running down his eyes.

"How? What? I don't understand..."

A flash back happened in my head, it was the Day before Joshua and the others Died. Joshua was in front of me saying

"Well then Andrei. We'll see you soon"

I snapped out of it and Joshua then said

"Do you remember now?"

As he tried to keep a straight smile but he was still crying.

"Joshua..."

I started crying as we both hugged each other

"It hurt so much!! When you guys were gone it was so hard!!"

He held me tight as he said,

"I know it was hard for you. I'm so sorry for leaving you that early. I prayed to God that night. I prayed so hard to save us. But when I woke up I was in my old room and I was 15 again too."

"You woke up here, when you died?"

I asked him, he looked at me and said

"Yes, apparently when I saw you guys I taught it happened to all of us. But when I asked, you guys were puzzled. You guys even taught I was crazy."

"How did I react back then?"

I asked him

"Apparently the same as them. But a week after, you were different. It's as if you were so pleased to see us and it's been so long since you've been with us."

After that we've been talking about how things were when they died. I told him I lost my job and after that I died and fell of the same cliff they did. He then asked me

"Has there been a man in your dreams, that told you of how you came back? And did he tell you that there was a third one?"

"Yes, but I'm still puzzled on who that person is."

I replied to him as he smirked and said

"Looks like somebody was in love with you and you let her get away. You've always been so weak with girls haven't you."

He laughed as I told him

"Hey!! It's not like that. I just can't see myself marrying somebody in my current state before."

"Well it's getting late now, let's head back to the room."

He answered. We were walking back to the Resort and then while walking he punched me in the shoulder I quickly reacted
