I quickly run downstairs and open the glass french doors that lead to the backyard.
" Luke!" I scream " Luke where are you." I stumble down the path that leads to the forest as I trip over the small stones on the ground. I've never seen Luke like this I want to help him. I want to take his pain away.
The forest grows darker and darker with every step I take and I begin to get freaked out, I don't even know if he went this way. Suddenly everything goes black and I see the moon shinning in the sky, wind is blowing through Luke's hair and as he turns to face me I see his eyes they are a deep glowing red and are piercing through my soul. He looks so, so I can't think clearly and I start to get light headed. I fall to the ground, the sound of crushed leaves is the last thing that fills my head. I wake up with a throbbing head ache and I'm no longer in the forest or at Luke's, with all that has been happening I just pass this weird incidence off as a dream.
Its only five forty-three and I can't remember how I got home. I can smell garlic being cooked downstairs and head out of my dark cozy room.
" Hi dad, how long have I been asleep for?"
" Well, lets see, you got here at four and Luke brought you in, he said you had fallen asleep on the car ride home from his house."
"What?- you, you must be joking." I run back up stairs leaving my dad in confusion and bring out my phone pulling Luke's contact up to the screen and begin typing.
what happened today
What do you mean what happened today?
I mean where did you go to that you had leave so fast and how did I get home.
I brought you home after you feel asleep in my bed
I know you're lying you disappeared and I went looking for you, where did you go?
I end the conversation there and replay what happened today in my head. I went out into the forest to search for Luke, I guess I must have blacked out because I can't remember anything after that. I hear a small taping noise near my window and look out my blinds Luke is standing in the grass mouthing the words, "I can explain," so I open window and climb down the rose vines.
" So now you can explain?" I say as heat rises to my cheeks, I don't like liars especially when its my best friend.
" Jewels, I'm sorry." he says with a heart felt look in his eyes. " I dropped a vase after stubbing my toe on the wall, you must have thought I left the house because I was in the garage getting a broom."
" That still doesn't explain how you left faster than any human can ever run, I could see you through the door and you just suddenly disappeared, just one blink and you were gone"
" Well um, I don't know what you saw but you were pretty sleepy, as for you, you weren't upstairs when I returned to clean up my mess, Jewels I found you in the forest passed out on a pile of leaves."
" What has gotten into you!" I scream " Go home I don't want to see you right now!"
Luke stares at me for a minute in disbelief, I don't know whats come over me I could never be mad at Luke but today I can't control myself. Its like some force is taking over me and changing who I am. I watch Luke as he gets into his car and drives away. I eventually return to my room.
All of a sudden I am hit with the overwhelming desire to eat some steak and head to the kitchen, Luckily enough my dad had made just that for dinner and I finish it within minutes.
" Jez, Jewels, whens the last time you ate?" Dad says as a deep rumbling laugh escapes his mouth.
" I haven't had anything since lunch, I'm hungry okay, just leave me alone."
"Whats gotten into you, why are you so upset."
As the words come out of his mouth I think of what I said to Luke just Minutes ago. Slamming my fork down onto the table I do something I've never done before and leave. The front door is wide open as my dad screams my name but I ignore him and run deep into the forest of Colorado. I just need some time alone, it almost as though I'm starting to go Insane, I don't want anyone to see me like this.
