Falling

Chapter 2-Gone

Rainie's P.<3.V

Falling.

                I don’t know why this was happening or why Shon died. Ever since he died, I’ve been having dreams. Not just any dreams, but the same dream over and over again as if it’s warning me something. Is that normal?

                In the dream, I was falling down into a cave of darkness, but before I crashed, something or possibly someone would stop and lift me up. The dreams didn’t even seem like dreams…they seemed so vivid and real.

                I woke up with sweat all over my forehead. Ugh, I bet the dream caused this. I found Bell curled up right next to me. Have I mentioned that I love cats? Well I do. Bell was a special little cat, she had black, brown, and white fur spread out all over her body. She always seems to know how I’m feeling. When I’m sad, Bell would come and sit on my lap. Shon loved Bell too..and Bell loved Shon.

                Everyone liked Shon.

                When I got out of bed, I got ready and tied my silky black hair into a messy bun. I pulled on a grey pair of Adidas sweat pants along with a navy colored hoodie. I don’t care about how I look anymore, because the only person I wanted to look good to was Shon. He helped me overcome my insecurity and all the tiny problems I had. Before Shon died, I would wake up every day with a text message saying “Good morning beautiful (: ”. It’s stupid how I still check my phone in the morning. I just can’t face the fact that he’s gone! Do you know how hard it is to try and forget someone that meant the whole world to you? People say that time can heal anything, but I don’t believe that. Time can’t heal my broken heart, it can’t mend back the broken pieces, time can’t bring Shon back.

                As I lifted up one of my favorite angel figurines off my beautiful mahogany night stand, Bell climbed into my lap and started purring.

                “Oh angel… When will all this pain go away? I’m trying my best to be strong, I really am.”

                I sighed and put the angel back on my night stand. Aunt Helen gave this angel to me last Christmas and ever since that day, this angel became my favorite out of my whole collection.

                Some people think that I’m crazy for believing in angels. It might be a little odd, but angels are miracle workers and they’ve helped me get through a lot in life.

                Rainie…?

                What?

                I’m going crazy. I swear I just heard someone’s voice! A familiar voice…It sounded like a guy’s voice, a little deep, but not too deep, it sounded gentle. Like Shons.

                No, it wasn’t possible, first I’m having dreams and now I’m hearing voices!? I’m going bonkers!! No wonder people in my school think I’m becoming a lunatic. But what if it was Shon? I shook that thought out of my head and went downstairs.

                “RAINNIEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!” my little five year old brother shouted out as I ignored him.

                “Rain? Rainiieee?”

                “Rainie, do you like the rain?” He started poking my ribs.

                “Rainie why aren’t you talking?”

                “Rainieee?”

                “WHAT!?!?!?!” I burst out.
