The Mystery Boy

Chapter 5 - Dream...memory?

When we got back to Willow and Kileys apartment we all just kind of hung out. Kiley and I started playing video games while Willow was in the kitchen doing some school work.

Surprisingly I was actually pretty good at the video game me and Kiley were playing. According to Kiley we were playing a first person shooter game? I'm not sure what she meant but it's called Call of Duty Black ops. I actually enjoyed playing it.

Kiley kept on getting angry though while playing saying she kept on getting killed by someone who was camping? I didn't really understand a word she said.

I asked Willow if she wanted to play with us, but since there's only two remotes to the Xbox that she could take mine and play with Kiley for a lil while, but she said she had to finish her schoolwork. Willow didn't seem like the kind of person to play video games considering there's two remotes which means she plays too, so I was a bit surprised.

If you didn't know Kiley and Willow were sisters you wouldn't be able to tell because of their personalities. Sure, they look alike but they act nothing alike.

Kiley is loud, ambitious, rebellious, passionate, kind, crazy but the good kind of crazy. She's basically up for anything and loved partying. She also has a lot of friends, but Willow isn't exactly like that. Willow is quiet, shy, calm, smart, disciplined, patient, independent, she's nothing like her sister. But I assume she may act a bit different around her sister than other people considering they are family.

Willow hasn't mentioned her friends, I bet she has lots though she seems kind when she wants to be. I decided I would ask Kiley about some of this stuff later.

Eventually it got dark outside and Willow and Kiley decided to go to bed. I laid down on the couch again getting ready to go to sleep since I had no one to talk to. I turned on the tv and then came on a cooking show. I quickly switched the channel so I wouldn't get hungry because of the food on the show.

As I switched through the channels I heard a clock tick. I turned my head and looked over to see a clock on the wall that said 10:04. I sighed then started switching through channels again. I decided to watch a show called Friends.

While I was watching tv I slowly gave in to sleep and slowly closed my eyes falling asleep on the couch.

I looked at everything around me and I was in the dark place. I couldn't see anything but I felt the same feeling at my feet of stepping into a pool. I looked down at the water covering my feet. I'm standing in water and I can't see anything else but darkness and the water I'm standing in. 

I look around not knowing what to do, I start walking around and my breath gets hitched. I feel like I can't breath. I start gasping for air trying to breath then I realize I'm underwater and that's why I can't breath. I start reaching for the surface of the water but I can't get there. I feel like I'm drowning and I can't get out of the water! What do I do?! I gonna drown! I'm..I'm gonna die! Help! Somebody help me!!

All of a sudden everything around me changes and I'm in a garden. I look around to see no water around me at all and I can breath correctly now. There are flowers all around. Daisies, tulips, roses, any type of flower in the world for all I know.

I look up to see glass, i assume we're in a green house which is made out of glass, sunlight for the flowers to grow. It might be connected to a house, or it might just be in a back yard.

I look around and see two people sitting on a stone bench looking at the flowers. There's a lady and a boy. The lady had her arm around the young boys shoulder. They don't even seem to notice me. I wave my arms in front of them and they don't seem to notice anything.

The young boy has blonde hair and blue eyes almost like me. Hmm..I wonder.

I look to see the lady and she removed her arm from the boys shoulder and gets up to go pick a white flower from one of the bushes filled with them. The boy looks over to her while she comes back with it and puts it in his hand. "Give this to her" she says smiling softly at him and sitting back down. "Really, are you sure?" The boy asks her.

"Yes my boy." The woman says cupping his cheek with one of her hands. I assume that must be her son. The lady has light brown hair and crystal blue eyes. That must be where the boy gets his eye color from.

"She's bound to love it" the lady tells him. "But what if she doesn't or she just doesn't like me at all." The boy worries. "Well if she doesn't then she just isn't the one for you," she says "and it's her loss because you are amazing, anyone would be lucky to have you" she says calmly.

"Okay thank you mama" the boy says before giving her one last hug and getting up excitedly and then racing out the door to the house.

I watch the boy as he goes into the house and then look back at the lady. She starts looking back at the flowers and sees two butterflies, drinking nectar from the flowers in front of her.

"Oh well you're just beautiful aren't you?" She asks the butterflies. "Y'know," shes starts, "my son is a very kind young gentleman and is gonna grow up to be a wonderful human being" she says while holding her index finger out trying to get the butterfly to fly onto it.

She sighs, "y'know it's sad." She says looking down as the butterfly flies onto her finger. She smiles softly in success and then holds her finger up in front of her face. "My son has been so sad since his father past away." She says as the smile on her face falters but she smiles once again trying to not show her sadness. "He was in the army" she says to the butterfly "he died a hero fighting for our country and I know he wouldn't want us to cry for him he would want us to always be happy but without him it's hard."

I look at her with sympathy wishing i could just give her a hug to tell her it would be alright. "I miss him" she says while her voice starts cracking. I reach a hand out putting it on her forearm knowing it won't do anything but I can hope.

"Oh I just can't imagine what my little finny is going through, losing his dad must be so hard on him and I don't know how to help him." She says finally letting the tears that were filling her eyes to fall. Her face becomes a bit red as she sobs and the butterfly flies away from her finger. She sits back down on the bench and starts sobbing even more with her hands on her face.

Wait. Did she say? "Finny?"

I put my hands on my head while I have something on the tip of my tongue that I can't quite comprehend.

I see the blurry face of a girl with light brown hair. "Oh little finny, you are hopeless." She says as if it's a normal thing. I hear ringing in my ears, I cover my ears as it gets louder and louder and louder and louder until,

I open my eyes.

I lift up from my spot on the couch that I fell asleep on and realize that there's sweat in my forehead. I look over to see the clock, it says 7:39. Oh my god. I put my hand in my mouth realizing what just happened and get up quickly to my feet speeding to Willows room.

I knock on the door multiple times until I hear a groan from the girl on the other side of the door. She opens the door and I can tell she tired, her hair is messy and she has bags under her eyes. I jump up and down and tell her "Willow I remember something!!" I try not to yell to not cause the fact of waking Kiley too but fail miserably.

I look behind me slowly to see Kileys door to her room awaiting Kiley to slam the door open and ask who woke her up but she didn't. "Kileys at work." Willow explains. I make an oh expression and then turn back to Willow.

"But what did you say?!" Willow asks curiously. "I had a dream but somehow I remembered something I think that the dream I had might have been a memory or something!" I say quickly. "Wait wait wait slow down calm down go back!" Willow says waving her hands in front of me.
