The "Lucky" One: A Mathew Espinosa Fan Fiction

Chapter Ten

• Sitting, waiting. Waiting in the woods for something. It feels like I have been here since forever ago. I heard a swift movement coming from behind me. I got in a position to protect myself, a stance to attack, but not noticable. I heard the movement again and tensed. When I knew someone was behind me I turned my head. I sighed in relief when I saw it was Mr. Saltzman. "What do you want?" I spat. "I need you to find me" he said. "I don't have much time, I need you to find me." As he said that wind started to whirl around him and leaves danced in the air. I tilted my head confused. "Find me and talk to me!" He yelled and just like that he was gone in a flash.

• I opened my eyes and almost got blinded by the light coming from my bedroom window. I wiped my eyes and got out of bed. I walked into the kitchen to get food. I opened the fridge and searched. Nothing. I sighed and walked to the pantry. Nothing. How in the world can we be out of food! This is crazy! I looked at the table and there was a note. I grabbed the piece of notebook paper and read it;

I didn't have time to go grocery shopping, and I am at work right now so I need you to do that today. There is money in the envelope in the drawer (you know where that is). Thank you
Love,
Dad.

I guess I will just go out and eat. I walked up to my room to take a shower. I can't remeber my dream last night. I know I had one but I can't remeber it at all...this has never happened before. I usually remeber my dreams vividly and I have never forgot one but I know for sure I had one last night, I just can not remember. Maybe it was a good dream.

After my shower, which was not as relaxing as I thought it would be, I put on a pair of dark wash skinny jeans, an over sized turquoise sweater, a pair of black vans with white shoe laces and white trim at the bottom, and a tan scarf. I just straightened my hair and added cute little nerd glasses to top off the outfit.

Maybe I could call Renessmee and see if she wants to come with me. So I am not bored out of my mind. I pulled my phone out and texted her.

To: Renesmeebae ;-): Heyy want to go grocery shopping with me? I know it sounds boring but then we could go shopping afterward...

From: Renesmeebae ;-): Sorry, I would love to but I'm hanging out with Shawn today

To: Renesmeebae ;-): its okay lol you two have fun!

I put my phone in my purse and went down to the drawer, where the money is. I grabbed the envelope and pulled out three 100 dollar bills. I know that may sound like we are rich beyond whatever but, this is just emergency money we put up...well, the money we get from the FBI people that we don't really spend...I have some money in my purse too, for shopping.

I walked outside, got in my car, and drove off. I pulled through the Taco Bell drive through and checked the time; 9:00 a.m. Good they are still serving breakfast. "Welcome to Taco Bell, what can I get you" a lady said into the speaker. "Can I get an A.M. crunchwrap with bacon and a Baja Blast freeze" I said. "Yes ma'am, so is that all?" She said. "Yes" I said. "Okay, so you have one A.M. crunchwrap with bacon and one Baja Blast freeze, your total will be 12.70 at the first window.

I pulled to the front window and paid for my food. Then to the second window to get my food. When I got my food I drove to Walmart and parked. Then, I finally ate. As I was eating I got a flash of a memory? Find me and talk to me. It was Mr. Saltzman's voice. But why was it his? Why in the world do I need to find him? This isn't a memory so what is it? It must be my dream, weird, huh? Someone tapped on the glass of my car window and I jumped. I looked up and saw Mr. Saltzman.

Great. Just who I needed to see... I hesitated but rolled down the window anyways. "Hello, Amberly" he smiled. "Ummm hi" I coughed swallowing food. "Well its nice seeing you here" he said. "Yea, I wish I could say the same" I meant for it to sound harsh but it came out playful for some reason. What is wrong with me? "What are you doing here on a saturday?" He asked, trying to make conversation. "Oh, I don't know. Hunting Elephants" I said. He chuckled.
