Henly
I stare at the boy in front of me, I don't know him but still I felt connect to him, he smile at me but sudden his expression turn to worried, scared.
Someone from behind grab his arm at the same time someone grab me to, I watch as he scream out my name, I was confused and part of me still want that boy, i stared as he scream and struggle to get free but he couldnt', I feel something on my cheek, I was crying and am scared, who ever that boy is, I was once connected to him..
I open my eyes to see my mom pull me into a hug, I realize I just had a dream of the story I sleep on it. My mom look worried, I don't have any idea of how long she has hug me but I feel good in her hug " mom" I whisper to let her know am awake.
She pull me back as she heard my little whisper. " morning my love " she said with that smile that erased the sadness on her face.
" mom.... How long have you been hugging me? "
" an hour... Why? "
" I want to hug you back until you wake up just as you do "
She smiles again " honey.. Am sorry about yesterday "
" no mom am sorry, I should be the one to apologize mom"
" and am sorry also " dad came standing at my door, he wear on apron obviously he's making breakfast today, He sometimes help mom cook when she's away for work.
" am sorry too" was all I said.
We step down to the table were Linda was already eating, we eat happily like before but not in hurry.
After breakfast, dad left for work so mom and I prepare some food before juliea arrive. Linda also help in the kitchen.
after setting couple dishes on the table, I stare at the table as something came to me in flash, the table and the dishes on it became familiar, I have seen something like this before, I tried to remember were but the pain in my head make me not to.
" honey..... Are you okay? " mom said as she notice me. She walk close to me holding my shoulder, " sit down "
I sit down still holding my head. " mom am fine is just a little headache.... "
Mom help me with some pill and I swallowed, it was a pill that I never know the name, I been taking it when ever I had headache and it help's a lot.
They was a noise outside, it was a noise of a car packing, mom and I walk out, of course, juliea. She pack and step down from the car, she was so beautiful on the dress, a long red gown, her hair was twisted, and that obsessed smile.
I embrace her as she came closer, the smell of the vanilla shampoo on her hair was nice. " I thought you couldnt' make it here "
" Common girl... I mean it when I said I will come " she said with a smile.
" please let go inside my lady " I said leading her to the door sudden I remember my mom was at the door who seems to lost in juliea.
" Hi juliea " mom said with a little smile. I can tell that mom was not pleased to meet juliea, and the look on mom face was like longing, " nice to meet you... And you look good just as henley say's "
" am really glad to meet you Mrs Carter " she said
Gladly mom get to know juliea little, she told us about her and her parents but she never mention there names, mom went out to the garden with Linda, me and juliea talk so much, I was really happy she meet my mom and mom seems to like her.
" so when are you coming to visit me " she ask
" next week maybe " I said
" okay.... Until then we can hang out after school "
" Really... Um but my parents "
" don't worry I will talk to your mom " she said
It's a good idea hanging out after school but still I don't feel good about it, I tried to put it in mind that am 18 I can do what ever I like but deep inside me I was scared. Scared of what? I can't tell.
they was a long silence between us, I tried to bring up a topic but I don't know what topic. I glare at juliea thinking that she was looking at me but unfortunately, she wasnt, she was looking at something behind me, I followed her gaze as I spot what was there, a tiny star award that was hanging on the wall behind me, mom said that it was given to me when I was 5, I don't remember anything than but she said is from our school, " it was beautiful right,"
Juliea notice what I said and she nod, " can I touch it? " she said.
" sure " I said. And we walk to the wall, Juliea stared at it but than sudden her expression change.
" I can't believe but I think I have seen this somewhere, somewhere I don't remember " she said still looking at it with shaking hands.
" Maybe you was given the same at school " I try to persuade her.
She glare at me than back to it. " No Henley..... They is something serious I need to know, I have been in this situation for a long time, I see things like
I once have them or see them, that what happened the day I saw you, I know we never meet before but deep inside me believe that I have seen you somewhere but it hurts me if I tried to remember " juliea said as tears drop to her cheek, I never saw her cry before but what she just said makes me believe even though it hard to believe.
" I think you are just having some misunderstanding about some strange things " mom said walking close to us, she took the award and put it back without hesitate.
" No Mrs Carter, I had a dream of some pictures I hide in my closet, no one know about the hidden place except me, I woke up in the morning and I found those pictures of three kids, two girls and a boy, The girl at the left look just like me but I..... I"
" juliea.... You have to go now..... I think you need to see a doctor " mom said cutting her off.
I can tell mom was scared but have no idea what she's scared of. Juliea left without a word, I know how it hurt when no one believe you but I don't think what she said was true, does that means she lost her childhood memories or what?.
Part of me don't want to believe juliea but everytime I tried to remember my childhood memories, it lead to pain in my head, just like juliea said.
Mom walk back after juliea have left, she pick two glass cup and fill them with orange juice and walk close to me and handed me one glass, I take a sip and she do the same. " honey.... Am really sorry about your friend but she really need a doctor "
" Yeah mom, that's what I think.... But mom ".
" no but henley " she cut me.
I saw her walking away, now everything is obvious, she's hidden something from me. " You might say that mom.... Because what juliea said is true ".
" and what makes you think she isnt crazy? ".
" mom I know she sound crazy but still I think I believe her because I don't have any memory of my childhood, I don't even know who I was than " I explain
" You are that brave beautiful girl henley. Look at your pictures everywhere " she point at walls, they are lot of pictures of me and my family, I smile at the little girl I was.
" Am sorry mom... I believe you " I said as she pull me in her arms. Her hug wipe away those tears in my eyes........
