Unique

Chapter 9

  Oh oh. I didn't expect that, now all my nightmares can come true.

  "Bess?" Alex cuts me from my thoughts.

   "Yeah" I reply bluntly.

  "Aren't you gonna say something?" Alex asks curiously.

  "None of this seems real"

   "I know" He accepts.

  "Alex?" I call.

  "Yea?"

  "Were you planning to take me to the Trizex?"

  "Yes" He says honestly.

  "What made you change your mind?" I ask curiously.

  "I don't know" He replies. Lier lier pants on fire.

  "There must be some reason?" I try to push 'it' out his mouth.

  "You seemed good-hearted"

  "That's it?" I ask dumbly.

  He looks down.

  "And I felt something in you, something I've never felt in anybody else"

  "Oh" I didn't know what else to say. I wanted to know what that feeling was. Before I could open my mouth-

  "You didn't sleep yet?!" Kayla shrieks.

  "Oh umm" Alex mouths bye and goes to another room. "Sorry"

  "Okay. Now go to sleep. We have a busy schedule tomorrow" She orders.

  I lie down, close my eyes and try to sleep.

  "Bess?"

  I open my eyes to see who that was.

  "Oh hi Aiden" I smile and sit.

  "How are you?" He enquires.

  "Mentally damaged bigtime" I answer giving a weak smile.

  "You're mom loved you. She was proud of you. She didn't just die, she fought, for you. All she wanted was for you to be happy. Never forget that" He consoles and places his hand over mine.

  "Thanks Aiden" A tear escapes my eye. All those memories are rushing in. "How are you?"

  "Good" He smiles. "Bess, you're very special"

  And he goes out.

  I close the door and bury my head in the pillow. I try my best to make sure others didn't hear, but sometimes my cry gets too loud. The pillow's drenched in my tears. My memories with mom just doesn't seem to stop.

  I manage to sleep after sometime.

  Next Morning

  *yawwn*

  That is strange. Why didn't I get any nightmare yesterday? Alex is near, so I should have had one.

  "MOM! CAN YOU MAKE BREAD AND NUTELLA FOR BREAKFAST?" I scream.

  Then I realize she's not here.

  "Are you okay?" Kayla comes in.

  "Uh yeah" I sign. "Good morning"

  "Good morning" She smiles.

  I take a shower and go down. Nobody's there other than Kayla.

  "Where's everybody?" I ask curiously.
