Whispered Dreams Chapter 7

Zoey's point of view

Ignoring Jake would have been a nightmare if it wasn't summer vacation. But the fact that I dream every night of him doesn't help either. His mere absence from my life itself became the presence of him, a very disturbing presence I might add. Since the day we stopped talking, I started having those dreams every single night

In one of my disturbing dreams Danny and Jake were fighting like idiots, and it was one of the most weird and fuzzy dream. One second they're in the school gym the other, they're in my backyard. The weirdest part is that I have Danny in my dreams. The guy I met and talked to once in my life, again missing Jake too much. I haven't seen him for almost two weeks now.

In these two weeks, I got really close to my little bro Noah. Damn I feel so guilty. It's like Noah , my sweetie little two year old brother wasn't even a part of my life until this summer vacation started. He is the sweetest two years old ever!!!(And the only one I know) I am trying as hard as I can to show him how sorry I am and how I love him so much, I am practically gonna raise him until this vacation ends. I feed him, I get him to sleep, and I spend all my day with him. It also helps me take minds off stuff. (you know I mean Jake when I say stuff, right?)

Well, I guess I went a little too deep in my thoughts and reached the other world, Noah's not where he's supposed to be, i.e. in front of my eyes. Damn where did he go?

"Noah, Noah"I yelled starting to panic. He is just two years old and he can barely speak a word clearly. What if he falls down or something? Will he cry? Is he hurt?

I went to his room, it was all messed up. He loves taking out all the stuff from his toy boxes and look at em for hours. Just when I was about to leave the room, I heard a giggle from what seemed like one of the box.

I went over to the box standing the wrong way, it's opening to the side, and inside of it was Noah. He was a troublesome kid. But I couldn't even get angry to the expression he was showing, His bronze hair shining in the sunlight that was streaming down the window, his clear bright blue eyes gleaming showing how happy he was that I found him. How can I get mad to that? I mean I love him... and he looks so cute....

"Noah, you know Zoey gets afraid if you go hiding like that... Zoey was so scared.."I said in the most childish tone pulling him out to take him to my backyard. Of course he wouldn't reply, all he does is make silly sweet noises and giggle like an angel.

"zzhhoey"

My heart skipped a beat, and sped like it was in a hurry to get out. My little brother just said my name, my name...Zoey... my eyes must have been the widest coz he giggled and repeated himself again.

"zhhoey... chhoey...Zoeyyyy"

I was carrying him and I forgot the whole world. I gripped him tighter and obviously turned on my silly mode or was it emotional mode that made me chatter without my brain's permission? I don't know... I was utterly happy...

"That's.... that's my name... you...you know...you know my name?"I asked stupidly stammering ... tears rolling down my eyes, I looked around, I was outside in the front garden. I must have taken the wrong turn. I didn't care.

He nodded and again said with a bit of seriousness in his voice that his cuddly voice allowed, "Zoey".

I raised him high in the air and spun around squeaking and squealing like a child myself. At that moment I forgot every shit that I'd been through. My lil Noah knows my name! He said my name... MY NAME!!...the very first word he ever spoke from his very mouth in the most innocent way I could ever imagine. I was so happy that I was crying. I couldn't believe I didn't spend more time with him before. I am an idiot.

"ohhhhhhh ...my honey.... My Noah... you know my name... you know my name.... yes yes... me Zoey... you Noah... no aahh"

I kept saying stupid stuff like that... But all he said was my name... I had never loved my name like that before. It was out of this world. I was out of this world out to the other world where I was the happiest girl alive. Suddenly a husk deep voice coughing... okay fake coughing brought me back to the ground.

"uhum ughhhhuuuummmm"

I turned around...What the hell is HE doing here???
