Title: Part 2: Memories

[Author's notes: It may be a little bit confusing from the last chapter. 1. Different Setting/time 2. Different first person narrative. (if it's confusing at the end, tell me, and i'll see what I can do.)]

Part 2: Memories

-Lyn

“Lyn…Wake up.” I heard a voice calling out for me…something, had made contact with me…

“Wake up, wake up, WAKE UP!” The voice is getting impatient…the thing, is patting me lightly

“For the last time…WAKE UP!” The voice is annoying.

I rolled around in my bed a few times, settling myself in another position, keeping my eyes closed, I decided to ignore the annoying voice. But the voice wouldn’t give up. It keeps getting louder and louder and louder. Till I feel something shaking me violently.

Unwillingly, I opened my eyes slowly, sensitive to the bright light coming in from the windows. Blinking a few times, I covered my eyes with my hands. “For god damn sakes, can’t you just let me sleep?” I sighed, “It’s a Saturday morning…” moving my hands away from my eyes, I slowly sat up on my bed, hair messed up, still in my pajamas, I looked up, staring in to the sky blue eyes that belongs to my best friend. I insistently got irritated from her amused smirk.

“It’s 11AM, you’ve slept long enough.” I rolled my eyes at her reply.

“I was with Kyle at a party last night, I didn’t get to sleep till 4AM…” I went back to my bed, tugging myself inside the blankets comfortably. Hoping she would leave me alone. “Right now, I need my alone time with my bed.” Mumbling, I went back to sleep, or tried to.

Sadly, the stubborn woman wouldn’t give up, in a swift movement; she took my blanket away from me and stole my pillows, dropping them on the floor, leaving me with nothing to sleep on, or with. Just to piss her off, I pretended not to notice, and resumed my sleep. Grinning inside, thinking that there’s nothing more Jessie can do to spoil my beauty sleep.

Oh, was I wrong.

The next thing I know, I was picked up from my bed in bride style and was carried out of my room before I could even open my eyes. Damn her and her 5’10, and why do I have to be so short…LIFE’S UNFAIR!

“PUT ME DOWN STUPID!” I shouted, “YOU’RE GOING TO DROP ME!” I started to shake her so she would drop me, but then I realized that we’re approaching the stairs, out of the fear of falling and injuring both of us, I stopped shaking her and gave up. She smirked, knowing that she has won.

“Remind me again why did I give you a key to my house?” I sighed, fully aware of the reason…

“’cause you love me, and that your parents are almost never home, so you need someone to take care of you.” Rolling my eyes, I sighed again, keeping my comments to myself.

A few seconds later realizing we’re approaching the living room, I asked, “Can you let me down now?” Looking up, I saw a glint of amusement in her eyes. Smiling she walked over to the couch and lay me down on it, then she sat herself comfortably next to me in silence.

Suddenly she asked, “Do you regret meeting me?”

Blinking, that was random… “Only every other minute of my life…” I grinned, replied without thinking much about it.

She turned around and stared right in to my eyes in dead seriousness; she then turned and looked away slowly, in a hushed voice a simple word rolled off her tongue, “really?” She turned and looked at me again with the saddest eyes I’ve ever seen…

Blinking, feeling puzzled and confused, I stood up from the couch, stretched a little… and… jumped on Jess, causing the both of us falling on the couch in a bear hug. Grinning, I said “No, not really…” Smiling now, I moved myself on top of her, once again I looked into her ocean blue eyes, leaning down next to her ears I whispered, “Because…you…” I purposely let her feel my breath on her neck, “…are…” smiling to myself again, “my…”

I jumped up from the couch that we were lying on and sat myself down on the smaller one-person couch, turned on the 52 inch Plasma TV, I started to watch it. Leaving Jessie dumbfounded. “Your….what?” she asked quietly…

I turned away from the TV, setting it on mule, and looked at Jess sternly, seeing her curious expression; I grinned, and replied, “My best friend…” in a faster tone, “who’s blushing really hard right now!” Then I burst out laughing. This girl is so cute, in a five-year-old little kid kind of way “What else were you expecting?” So innocent…

Without waiting for an answer, I got up and pulled Jessie up from the couch, I said “C’mon lets go out, since I’m wide awake now…no thanks to you,” blinking a few times, then it hit me… “Or we can go in 30 minutes, since I’m still in my pajamas, no thanks to you again.” Then I ran back upstairs to change.

While I was running, Jessie shouted, “Whatever! AND I wasn’t blushing! You were strangling me with that death hug of yours!”

“Sure! Keep believing in that.” I shouted before getting in my room and closing my door.


As soon as I was ready, Jessie and I were out the door. We walked around the city and went out to eat lunch, then we went shopping. I found a pair of Jeans, a pair of new shoes, some T-shirts. And she found another blouse that you can't even tell was designed for girls, unless you closely inspect it. Jessie had short brown hair, with some scattered blond highlights that doesn't stand out too much, the colours blends together nicely. If she puts a hat on, you couldn't even tell that she was a girl from ten meters away. Now that I think about it, I think she was always like that, a bit tomboyish. Though if you get to know her, she's actually a very sweet girl, she’s probably more feminine than a lot of girls who are more physically feminine. Amused, I automatically smiled to myself.

"Why are you smiling?" Jessie noticed this and asked me.

"'cause...I like to smile, duh." I lied.

"Liar," She replied.

Smiling to myself, I spotted the park that we met together across the street, "Lets go to the park!" Pointing at the direction of the park, soon as I got Jessie's attention, she smiled. Taking that as a yes, I grabbed her hand and ran across the street, seeing that there's no cars around.

While at the park, we automatically found a bench together and sat down, since we have been walking around for the most part of our day. Putting our shopping bags on the grass. I felt sleepy and tired. In silence, I moved closer to Jessie and leaned on her shoulder. Without knowing it, I fell asleep.

A while later, I woke up and I saw Jessie standing around ten meters away from me. I smiled and got up and walked towards her...

Only, I couldn't. I walked faster and faster and faster, but I couldn't reach her. We are no more than ten meters away! I got mad and started to run after her. I couldn’t reach her.

"Jess!" I said…there was no reply.

"JESSIE!" I yelled…there was no reply. Jessie started to move further and further away from me...

Scared, I opened my eyes. Only to realize Jessie is right next to me, with her eyes closed...Realizing, it was all a dream. Everything. From waking up to going out for lunch, to going to the park.

Wait...no...

Those things really did happen. They happened earlier today! I just dreamed about them in my dreams...Everything was real, other than the last part.

Just to check that this time things are reality, I reached out for Jessie's hand...
