Current Music: Full Moon Sway- Koyuki and Maho, BECK
I am so sorry that
I've ignored this for so long. I feel so bad about it. A lot has
happened over the last couple of months and I'm not really up to
recalling it all here. I've been busy at school and other things. I've
been working on chapter two of RotNM and have decided to post the first
part of it here. It's only an early draft so it's not perfect. Enjoy!
Chapter 02- A Tidal Wave of
Emotions. Dylan's Dreams Come True.
“Come on,
Dylan. It’s been two days,” Erika McKenna said to her friend who was lying face
down on his bed.
“I know, Erika, it’s just that...
it’s that I can’t stop thinking about it,” he replied dully as he played with
the blanket.
“Why not?” Erika asked, looking at
her green hair in the mirror on the far side of his room.
“Jared’s in them, that’s why,” he
said.
“That’s the guy you kissed right?”
Erika asked, turning to look at him.
“Yep, that’s the guy alright,” Dylan
said as he buried his face into the bed.
“Why is that such a big problem?”
the girl asked as she walked over to the bed and sat next down to the brunet.
“What happens in it?”
“He... he turns into monster that
attacked me,” he said softly.
“Aww, no wonder you haven’t been
able to sleep,” she said as she rubbed his back. She then asked, “Why are you
still dreaming of it if the creature was destroyed as you said?”
“I don’t know,” he said, “but it is
still there, haunting me.”
“Perhaps you could talk to one of
the counsellors at school?” Erika asked him.
“What good will that do?” he asked,
turning over to look at his friend. “They’ve already announced their version of
what happened,” he said.
“Hey, if it helps, I believe you,”
Erika said, smiling at Dylan.
“I know,” he said. “Thanks.”
“Anytime,” she said. “Come on, we
need to go out somewhere and have some fun, perhaps find you a nice guy to
date.”
“I’m not sure,” he said. “I don’t
think I could go out with someone else right now. I really like Jared.”
“I wish he’d show more interest in
you, but he’s attached to Micol’s hip,” Erika said. “It’d take an act of God to
make him leave her.”
“That’s real encouraging,” Dylan
said, pulling a pillow over his face.
“I’m sorry,” Erika said, “but it’s
the truth.”
“I wish it wasn’t,” he said.
“You know what I wish?” the girl
asked, grinning widely.
“What?”
“That you’d get over this!” she said
before she started tickling the other teen’s sides. Dylan let out a gasp of
shock as he tried to bat away his friend’s hands.
“Hey, come on, that’s not fair!” he
said, laughing.
“Come one, let’s go,” she said as
she pulled the pillow off of his face.
“I don’t want to,” he said. Erika
put her hands on her hips.
“I don’t believe you,” she said,
causing the boy to smile. “See! Your smile is giving you away.” She let out a
gasp when Dylan pulled her down next to him.
“Alright, alright,” he said. “I’ll
go with you.”
“What do you want to do?” she asked
him.
“Hmm... how about DiAngelo’s?” he
asked.
“That sounds great!” exclaimed Erika
as she rolled off the bed and stretched.
“I’ll race you to the door!” Dylan
said as he jumped off the bed and shot past Erika.
“Hey, no fair!” the girl called out
as she chased after him
Dylan took the stairs two at a time.
Maybe I should just let myself get over Jared, he thought. Erika’s
right. I won’t get him, but at least she won’t worry if I act happy. When
he reached the bottom, he ran across the foyer and pulled open the front door.
“Jared?”
he asked.
