Reese

chapter 7

I wake up from my peaceful nap. Was i drooling? I thought to myself as i was wiping the corner of my mouth. I have not slept like that in ages. or that is how it seems anyways. I was just so exhausted from all that, he, did and said and just, ugh whatever.

I check my watch to see what time it is, since I don't have my phone at the moment. 6:00 pm. Hmm. Wow okay.

I get up and finish the rest of water that was left in the glass. Im desperate for more. Why am I so thirsty? Is this some type of sick metaphor? I laugh out loud at the thought.

I reach the kitchen to fill the glass back up. Where is everyone? Am I alone in here? They wouldn't leave me here would they? I check outside and to my surprise, my car is the Only one in the driveway. Okay. Great.

I find my phone back in shays room and turn it on. No texts no calls. Nada. Wait? I can't even read straight. I must be tired, Im suprised cause my nap was so peaceful. I walk down the hallway back to the kitchen. Out of my peripherals I see someone in the living room. I turn to see him I let out a silent gasp. He's looking down not acknowledging me as I stand here staring at him.

"Isaac?" I let out, almost a whisper.

His head snaps up. Eyes meet with mine.

Nothing on him shows any emotion, his dull body position. No emotions in his face he's just stands there like a zombie.

"Why are you here? What do you want? I'm sick of you treating me with this attitude of yours!" I raise my voice with every word, why am I such an angry person?

"We have tension, Reese, you're not done with me, Stop lying to yourself, build a friendship with me! Change me! I need help getting out of this hole I'm in. I May be frustrating but please help me, I beg you..." he ends his speech to me.

What? He just needs a friend, someone to help him. He is gonna be difficult, it's like helping someone with a wound, yeah they might repel and yell at you but in the end they will thank you for being there and helping. Why is he here begging me though? That's not like him. What am I even talking about? I don't know him..

"Reese! Help! Help!" Isaac is now screaming.

That's when my eyes open right up shay and Hensley are sitting in the bed screaming help. Thank God, it was just a dream, I thought I was in for a huge self conflict there for a minute.

"Oh my God Reese! Are you okay?! Say something!" Hensley is shouting at me.

"Yeah, yes, I'm, I, I am fine." Finally I could get the word out. "What's wrong? Stop freaking out, you're scaring me." I am litterally freaked now.

"I'm scaring you?.. um, you are the one who hasn't woken up in hours even after ten minutes of us continually trying to wake up! You were twitching and sweating and spazzing out!" She tells me with concern and panic in her tone.

"Well I'm fine I just had a dream, I need to get home, I'll see you guys later." I state exauhstedly, I really do need to get home, I have things to think about. Alone.

"Do you need anything before you go?" Shay asks. She is so kind.

"Could I take a water bottle with me? I'll bring it back." I ask. Wow This metaphor is taunting me.

She nods her head yes quickly and hands me the water bottle I thank her. Like twice. I really am desperate for the water. I get in my car and make my way home trying to clear my head So I could drive straight.
