A week later: First things first... The thing Miles did was so random. Literally. He kisses me, holds me tight in his embrace then vanishes? Can a human even vanish that quickly? I was so slow at recollecting my thoughts and responding that he was gone. Just like a strike of a match. It blazes so quickly that you barely have the time to watch it while igniting it. It's been a couple of days and I still think about it. John is slowly healing but during the process, he's trying to get the word out that a vampire attacked him... Not a dog. I do believe him. For some unknown reason I believe that what attacked him was no animal or human. From those visions I'm getting about vampires and all this stuff, I can't handle it. "Adeline... Adeline..." I hear while I groan. I move my head around and it's placed on something. "Adeline wake up." I eventually shoot my head up and my arms run numb like static. "What- where-" I gaze towards the figure next to me and it's mom. She's smiling down at me and I slowly have the feeling to move my arms. I slept on a desk. Well I'm sitting on the chair and I have fallen asleep while typing on the computer. "You must have fallen asleep last night here." "Oh sh-" I was ready to cuss until I see her face shrink as in don't curse because I don't like it. "Ship." I end it quickly with a long smile on my face. "Already smarty pants, you need to get ready for work." She pats my shoulder before making her way to the open door. I turn around to face her in my seat. "Is dad driving me?" "Yes, he's waiting." She shuts the door while I sigh, rubbing my face. It's a Sunday and I have school tomorrow... And I didn't do any of my homework. I look up at the blank screen in front of me. The computer must have fallen asleep for the night because I didn't shut it down. I tap on the space bar on my keyboard as the computer loads. It pops up on a writing document and my eyes light up in excitement. I finished my book. It took about a week and a half to write it but I was bound to finish it. I wasted no time to write it. The words flowed onto this paper so easily and luckily to my visions, it wasn't hard to write. I feel like I didn't get the full story just like in the visions I have. Sometimes it's about the same thing... Like vampires biting me and I scream for help but I can't. I save my book which is mostly like a short story and I make my way out of the computer room. I get ready for work then I go downstairs to dad who's in the kitchen drinking coffee. "Good morning honey." "Morning dad." "How was your sleep?" I yawn, stretching my arms up. "My back is aching a bit but besides that good." He chuckles while making his way to the hallway and out the door. I say goodbye to mom then I follow behind him and into the car. ~~~~~~ "Did you go visit John?" Rebecca asks me while taking a sip of her coffee. I wipe down the table, cleaning a water mark on the table besides her. Rebecca came and visited me during work and now we are just chilling around. It isn't crowded and when Rebecca comes to visit we usually do homework or talk. "Why are you so fussed up about me going to visit John? If you are so obsessed why don't you go visit." I snap because I am furious. Rebecca has been asking me numerous of times and it's getting on my nerves. "I'm just wondering." She puts out in a mumble and I sigh, feeling bad that I snap. "Well your answer is I haven't seen him since the day after the accident." I sit down across from her where the cashier is. I place my head on my hands, staring across from her. "Oh, do you know that he's going all loco?" I furrow my eyebrows. "About what?" "He's saying that a vampire attacked him." She chuckles to herself, shaking her head. "Stupid right? Like who thinks of a supernatural creature that are only for nightmares?" I shrug to myself. "Maybe he's right." I comment and Rebecca stops laughing, staring at me. "You're kidding right? Did he get in your head too?" I see the smile on her lips like she's joking around but I shake my head. "No but I need to tell you something..." I pause, seeing the smile still on her face. "But it's all seriousness... No joking." "Fine, fine, fine." Rebecca takes a deep breath and gives me her really hard serious face. "What's up." "So do you remember the visions I've been having for a month now?" I start and she looks around like she's thinking. "The one with the water?" "Exactly... Well I have been getting other ones besides those and they are coming together like puzzle pieces. There's people, names, faces... They all are so damn familiar." "Wait, so you are telling me you are having a life story?" "Not really, it's not like beginning to end. Random ones pop up and not in order. And the weird part is... It's about vampires." I stare at Rebecca and while staring, I see her lips quiver to a smile. "I'm sorry, I-I can't hold it in." She chokes out a laugh and I roll my eyes. "See I can't even tell my best friend." I grab the wet towel besides me and I stand up from the stool. I make my way down the counter but she grabs my arm before I can go. "No-no I'm sorry it's just so crazy. Like vampires don't exist, why are you thinking this?" I pull my arm away from her grip and I walk back to her. "I don't know that's the thing. It feels like I'm trying to remember something but I can't." I pause, rethinking about everything. "But... That all makes sense." "What?" "My parents seemed like they were hiding something from me when I always asked them why I'm getting these visions." "Okay..." Rebecca says wondering where I'm going from this. "And I don't remember about two months of my junior year, you remember?" "Yes but you went away that's the thing." "But I don't remember." "Well what, you had a whole encounter with vampires and somehow you don't remember now?" I smile, snapping my fingers together. "Exactly! You Rebecca are a genius!" She gulps down her frappe, shaking her head. "Nope that's too crazy." "I got proof." She narrows her eyes to me. "Really? Tell me." "Last week a boy name Miles randomly come here at night and was talking to me like he knew me. The following day he comes to my house and kisses me." Her eyes widen. "And you didn't tell me thing why!" "Because I was unsure about it. I didn't want you to say he's a rapist blah blah blah." "Adeline! This is deep shit. What happen after he kissed you?" "Ugh he vanished. But he is in my visions! Other parts, they call him Evan which I don't understand." "Oh the irony." She jokes and I smack her hand. "Maybe that's his middle name... Miles Evan." "Yeah no..." "Do you have his number or something?" "Nope and that's what makes it mysterious. But next time he visits, I'm going to confront him." "You go girl, go do it." I smile, standing up from leaning my elbows on the counter. "I will, hopefully he has answers." "And if he is a vampire-" She pauses, snorting to her comment. "-maybe he is the one who attacked John." I shrug to her, making my way to the kitchen where dad is. "I don't know, we'll see."I mumble mostly to myself while walking into the kitchen. "See what?" I look up and it's dad staring at me. He must have heard me. "Uh- well nothing." I choke out and he grins. "Come' on tell me." "I was thinking of getting my short story published." He slowly lifts his eyebrow. "Really?" "Yep." I lie. It is true that I wish I can get it published but at this moment no. I can wait maybe in the spring where I don't have sports and all. "Well your mother and I can make that happen. We can contact people." "That would be great." I smile to him and he pats my back. "I'm proud of you Adeline." "Thanks..." I wanted to say dad at the end but for some reason I couldn't. It wouldn't come out and I choked. Dad didn't realize and went back to his own work. ~~~~~
