2. Nightmares

I woke up in the hospital. It took me a while to realize what had happened because my mind was in a fog from the medication the hospital must have given me.

I looked around me and saw that Jeff was sleeping in the chair next to me. He must of stayed the whole time I was in here. I saw him yawn and he lifted his head. Once he saw that I was awake, he greeted me with a smile.

"How are you?' asked Jeff.

"Pretty good, I just have a slight headache, but other then that, I’m good."

"You almost gave me a heart attack when I couldn't wake you up in my car. At one point in that moment, I thought you were dead!"

"I’m sorry I scared you Jeff. I just don't know what got over me. It was all my fault." Jeff took a moment to collect his thoughts.

"It wasn't your fault Sam, just try to postpone that until I’m not around. Anyways, you’re allowed going home today if you feel like it."

"Good, but wait, did you find out from the doctor what’s wrong with me?"

"No... there’s nothing wrong with you. They think what happened was because you haven’t been sleeping well lately, and that your brain couldn't take it anymore so it shut down for a while." It was hard for Jeff to tell me this. He's really been affected by this.

Then, I commented his answer to my question with a dull "Oh."

Only I know the reason why I haven’t been sleeping well. It’s because I had a horrible nightmare, and I doubt that’s the only one and there’s still alot more to come. I wish I could tell Ben, but I don't want him sending me to a crazy hospital in a straight jacket. So, for now, I’m going to have to keep this to myself, or I could always tell Jeff, maybe he will understand what’s going on with me.

I had another nightmare, and it was the same one too. The guy needed my help, but I don't know for what, or even how to help this missing mystery boy.

I got out of my bed and realized it was 8:05, and Jeff will be here in 10 minutes to pick me up! Remember, my truck is still at the school. I quickly got dressed and went in the kitchen to get a muffin for breakfast. :)

Once I finished, I heard a horn honk outside in the drive way. So, I quickly got my shoes on, grabbed my light jacket, and went to get in the car.

Since Jeff drives like a maniac, we reached the school in 2 minutes with 3 more minutes left to spare before school begins. So I took the opportunity to have a talk with Jeff.

"Jeff..." I could feel my throat closing, making me choke out the words, "two days ago, the day I passed out in this car," my cheeks are starting to go red, "You were about to tell me something somewhat important. I was wondering if you could tell me what you were about to tell me that day."

Jeff just looked at me, and I could tell that he was debating in his mind on to tell me or not to tell me, but as soon as he looked away, I could tell in his facial expression that he made the decision to tell me, so I prepared and got ready for the worst, which turned out to be wrong.

"Well, it’s not really important. I... I was just wondering if... you would like to go out to dinner and the movies with me this Friday night." At that moment, I realized that Jeff wanted to be more then just friends.

"Umm... sure, I'd love to Jeff." After I said that, Jeff got on a smile and it looked like it was the happiest moment in his life.

* * * * *

Jeff is taking me to see a new movie Death Beyond Belief. It’s supposed to be a really scary movie, and that’s bad because I HATE scary movies. Then after the movie, he's going to take me to dinner at some place called El Lambindo. I've never been or heard of it before.

I woke up to a very rainy and stormy day. They’re my favorite because if when I’m crying in the rain, no one will be able to se the tears. That's why I try to cry only on rainy days. I know, it sounds silly, but that’s who I am, and no one will ever change that about me, only I can.

Sometimes, I wonder why I do that, but it always comes down to one answer, I like doing odd and strange things. Yup... I’m cool like that. Ha hah. :)

* * * * *

It’s Thursday, and I’m nervous because there's a big French test tomorrow, and it's only going to be my fourth day of this school! It would have been fifth, but I was in the hospital all day Wednesday. You know, from my blackout in Jeff's car? Well, yea, so now I’m screwed.

I’m really surprised that I didn't have a nightmare last night. I dreamt about my parents last night, nothing unusual. Well, moving off this subject.

Me and Jeff can't really go on a date tomorrow night. His boss made him work overtime, so he had to cancel. So, it'll be a Friday night, and I’m all alone. I’m going to get some laundry done tomorrow to past the time.

* * * * *

"Hey...Sam!" Alana yelled.

Alana's the second person I've met on my first day here. She's in my French class. We've been talking everyday and we eat lunch together with Jeff.

Alana has red hair past her shoulders and big brown eyes to go with it. She's a small girl with fair pale skin. She's very energetic and talks alot, you can never get her to shut up. Oh, and she also has a very colorful butterfly tattoo on the small of her back that I’m adly jealous of.

"Hey Alana, what’s up?"

Alana's out of breath from running to me from her car.

"Nothing. Oh my God, I just heard that Andy's single now!"

"Well that’s surprising."

Alana gave me a shove.

Andy is the guy that Alana is madly in love with. He has jet black hair with blue eyes. He's very muscular and very popular. Oh, and I can't forget to mention that almost every girl in school likes him!

"Ok... I've decided what I’m going to be for Halloween."

"Alana, Halloween in a month. You still have lots of time."

"Oh, you wait, but I’m not because Halloween’s going to be here in no time.

Halloween is my ultimate favorite holiday. I love how you get to dress up however you want and you don't have to care about what people think because you’re not the only one dressed up as the way you are. Every Halloween I’m always something different. I wonder what I'll be this year, and I really don't care if people think I’m too old, because no one's too old for Halloween. Maybe I should be a slut. Oh, what I would give to see the looks on the faces of the girls at my school. Priceless. Just maybe, this year might be great after all.
