So This Is Love ~~~~ R.P.

vii. Embrace for Impact

Gusts of wind push against my body as gravity pulls me down. My eyes try to open, but the wind brings tears to my eyes. Suddenly. I found my voice and began to scream. 

My final destination is a black box. I land with a thud and groan. Finally, I open my eyes.

I open my eyes. 

How?

I'm supposed to be dead. 

"Hello?" My voice echos through the darkness. "Hello?!" I ask, louder. I scratch my wrist as I sit down. I bring my knees to my chest and rest my chin on them. "Alone again." 

I stayed that way for an hour. Then, the floor started to crack. First from the middle, then it slowly grew towards the edges of the box. 

"No. No!" I worry. I get up and run to the corner of the box. "Please, stop. Stop!" Pieces of the bottom of the broke broke quicker, and they seemed to fall into an endless black hole. Before I knew it, the piece of ground under my feet split in two, and I was falling again. This time, I didn't scream.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My hair flew above my head. I turned onto my back as I fell. Spreading out my arms, I felt wind surpass my body. This fall felt different from the first. I felt.....free. As I turned over to my stomach, I saw a light. It grew brighter the more I fell. It was bright to the point where I had to cover my eyes. Suddenly, I had entered the light. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I let out a yelp as I hit the concrete floor. I groaned and held my head. I jolted upright as I heard a high pictched scream. As I looked up, my eyes met the ones of a young girl with curly brown hair. She held a cross in one hand, and a small rectangle shaped box in the other. 

As peer pressure overcame me, I screamed too. But mine was sort of montone, unsure why I was screaming.

"Okay oka! Please stop screaming." I finally say as I stand up, brushing the dust off my pants.

"But you're..How did-.. I don't.."

"Breathe." I say flatly. "Think about what you want to say, then speak."

The girl looked scared, confused, and curious at the same time. She turned to her right and said, "I'm talking to her.", then turned back to me. 

"Can you see them too?" She asks.

"See who? Wait. How can you see me? I'm supposed to be dead." I wonder aloud.

Again she looks to her right, then back to me, "So you guys can't see her?"

"Who are you talking to?" I ask, slightly irritated.

"Them." She motions to her right side. "Wait. You can't see them. And they can't see you. But I can see both of you? What is going on?" She seems to be having a conversation with herself. 

"You tell me." I respond.

"You're Jaiden. Jaiden Parker, right?" She asks, but it's more of a statement than a question.

"Maybe...Why do you ask?" I say slowly. 

Sliently, she walks over to the stereo and presses play. 

"Shh."

"I didn't s-" 

Now or Never  begins to play and I smile. Suddenly I'm hit with a jolt of light, as are three other objects around the room. The force was so strong it pushed me and the three figures back. I look down as I rub my head.

"Oww."

"That hurt more than the first time."

"Why'd you do that?"

I know those voices, but I couldn't figure out who they were. It was silent for a few seconds until one of the voice spoke. 

"Jaiden?"

By the call of my name, I looked up.
