We stare at each other silently for a few minutes. It felt like an eternity. I couldn't get my head around it, how he... existed, I mean I dreamed about him but that he really existed?! "Do I see ghosts or are you really standing there?'' He starts to smirk. I hear something behind me and look back. I don't see anything... but when I want to look back at the boy he's gone. Just as suddenly as he appeared. I turn around, thinking about what just happened. I see a piece of paper lying on the ground. Not a piece of paper that we use but a really old, grey one. There is a drawing of a kind of closet on it. A closet I don't know. Vanishing cabinet was written beneath it, also a text on the back. Library.
Just step into it. {with an arrow to the cabinet}
D. M.
''D. M.?'' I ask out loud. Well, thank you D. M. for this short text. You could also explain who you are, why I have something to do with this and why I have to step into a goddamn closet?! Thinking about the cabinet I continued walking. I decide to draw D. M. when I'm at home. I still had to wait for my mother and brother. I start to shiver when a cold breeze passes by. I see a bench at the end of the forest path. There is something on the bench and I start to look around me. I come closer and I recognize the sweater D. M. was wearing. The sweater is nicely folded on the bench. Again I look around me, hoping for the boy with the silver eyes and a big smirk. Unfortunately he was nowhere to be seen. I pick up the sweater and I couldn't help but smell it. ''It smells nice,'' I think out loud. I start laughing because I just smelled a sweater. When I arrive home in my new sweater, I pick up the house key from under the doormat.
When I enter the house I spontaneously get hungry. I see my brother sitting depressingly at the kitchen table. ''Shouldn't you be in the hospital?'' I ask. ''Mom dropped me off here when she heard that only one person was allowed to visit.'' he looks away in sadness. "Heyy hey hey.' I quickly sit next to him at the table and rub his back. ''Dad is a strong man. He will get over this.'' At those words I see again a spark of hope in the position my big brother takes. ''I'll make us a tosti, okay?'' He nods. I get up and walk to the kitchen. ''Jul?'' I hear when I put a pan on the stove. "Yes? I turn around. "You weren't wearing that sweater this morning?'' I freeze at his words. "Oh, yeah, and you smell like boy's perfume.'' I see the grin on his mouth and he seems to know very well what this means. ''Long story, nothing specia-.'' I couldn't finish my sentence or James was already shouting. ''Juliette has a boyfriend!'' he stands up and throws his hands in the air. ''Your crazy for thinking that you know that? I don't have a boyfriend.'' I start laughing because of James crazy mood.
~Before~
I stare at the ground and count the bricks. I hear Daisy and Quin laughing in front of me. I am used to be the third wheel by now. Every day I hear Daisy asking ''Jul when will you get a boyfriend''. Or ''Do you already have someone your crushing on? With every question the answer is the same ''No.'' Somehow I've never liked anyone before at all. While everyone around me finds their 'Soulmate'. Not me. Quin, Daisy's boyfriend often says that I'm going to be such a old cat lady. I actually believe it myself. When Daisy touches me, I'm taken out of thoughts. "Hello dreamer, what are you thinking about?''
~~~~~~~~
I turn over the toast when James comes walking towards me. "You really smell like a boy, Jul, explain.'' He's leaning against the counter. ''Well this whole thing made me walk home and you know, in the middle of autumn it's not very hot or anything,'' I say sarcastically. ''And...?'' he asks curiously. ''I walked through the woods and a boy came by and saw me freezing, so yeah.'' I can feel the blood going up to my cheeks. "Oohh Jul!.'' I give him a little push and he starts to wobble. ''It's nothing.'' I say cold. I put the tosti's on a plate and walk to my room. I find it irritating when my family starts talking about boys, especially my brother. I'm just not that busy with boys yet. I sit down at my desk and grab my laptop. li-bra-ry . I say out loud when I'm typing in Google. *click* I click enter and all search results come up. I say out loud ''Mount road 2'. I click on images and see an old classic building. When I want to click on the site. I see a newspaper article appear. 'The people who disappeared in the library in Malton.'
