The vision of my love

Chapter 1
Death

Some people say that the best way to die is in your sleep quick and painless but it's not. There's no best way to die because, in the end, you're still dead its all the same everyone takes their last breathe, says there last word, and lives there last day there's no stopping it,it's the bump in the road that everyone hits. But not for me I take part in many people last moment on earth see I'm not a doctor ,I'm not a murderer, I'm not a witch or a wizard I don't know what I am exactly since I was born every time I touch people I see there last moments,I feel what they feel,i see what they see it's all so life like and so I lock myself away in a farm  in the countryside  we're my only company is my animals because there the only living thing safe from my vision.  As I sit in the barn surrounded by animals I wish that I could have a normal life that  this curse  would end I longed for things that other people took for granted like walking down the street and being able to shake someone's hand or even stand in line to get a cup of coffee or to pay for my shopping but the one thing I longed for the most was a relationship. And one day I got what I wished for but I didn't know it until it was to late...

Chapter 2
The first encounter

As the summer heat rolled in and the pigs bathed in the mud a van appeared on the horizen of the hill. As I stood behind my metal gate like a prisoner in a cell the van passed me and made its way down the road were it stoped In front of the old cottage that once homed the Myers family who sadly fell victim to my visions. To this day I do not know if the family of 5 are alive or dead because my visions block me from any more information then the few seconds that seal the fate of the person I encounter. But after I got a vision of the Myers youngest daughter Hayley drowning in a bath tub full of blood, eyes covered with a white sheet of death.I promised myself I will not be tormented by my visions or the temptation of friendship so I helped the family gather the funds to be able to move to the city in pursuit of a big law job for Mrs.Myers two years later and I don't know if Hayley is alive or lays buried in a cocoon of wood .As soon as I saw the van pull up I told myself that I will shut out this new neighbour and everything will be fine but I did not yet know how hard it was going to be. For a few minutes, I gazed in wonder wanting to put a face to the mysterious driver but I was interrupted by Clarity my 5 year old mare running across the path to the chicken coops. Once Clarity was charmed by the last of the carrots and all was settled again I went to get changed.  A few hours passed and I was In my kitchen feeding the dogs when I heard a loud bang coming from outside I cautiously walked outside my gate and looked down the road to see a bright light . I walked closer until the bright light was to bright for my eyes to make out anything but a shadow as I squinted  a figure of a man appeared from the brightness he looked down at me looking like a guardian sent down from God . Before Either of us could say a word everything went black.I slowly awoke realising I lay on a long red sofa with tanned leather lining with Imperfections that resembled that of a crumpled paper ,the dust that covered the room like a thick sheet of time burnt my throat every time I took a breath. As I gazed around the room my eyes were met by a man standing in the doorway a glass of water sat in his hands.He smiled as he walked closer to me and perched on the boxes at the end of the sofa.Our eye contact never broke as he handed me the glass.
"what happened to me" I said
"One of my boxes fell on you,and knocked you out I had to carry you in,I'm sorry I didn't take you home but I didn't take you home but your gates were closed"he replied
"Wow that box must have been pretty heavy to knock me out"I giggled
"Yeah,it was full of books and not pillows so what more can you expect"we both sat there smiling at each other for a second before I said "I didn't think someone as hot as you would read"
He looked at me for a second without saying a word and I worried I had already ruined it but his comeback was "And I would of thought you had learnt never to talk to strangers yet here you are in my house" he grinned I watched the dimples appear on his cheeks they complimented his lips like a diamond on the finger of a bride. His coal coloured hair fell perfectly and his eyes were like a thousand stars collected into one bag.That was the moment I realised I liked him and I knew that I had to stand by my promise and shut myself away from him and the world. I quickly jumped back into reality and stood up "I have to go" I ran out of the room and out of the front door I passed the faded white gates that rusted hinges screamed as I opened them.As I ran through the rain out of site of the house I could see the glimpse of the nameless man I had just met stood there in the door way.

Chapter 3
Apple pie

As I reached my gate I strange feeling grew in the pit of my stomach I was confused about what it was until I sat down in my living room and I looked over at Bruce my 4 year old Mastiff his eyes looked sad but his tail told another story it wagged against the wall making a load bang that wallowed through the walls.That was the moment I realised it was happiness the feeling inside me was joy,i was shocked how can someone I just met for such a short time make me feel this way. I tried to brush it of I convinced myself that I only had felt that way because he was the first person I had talked to in months, the only other person I talked to was Jenny the woman who drops of my groceries at the gate every Tuesday and even then it was a wave and if she was leaving me behind to go back to her life free from the chains that tie me down. A couple of days passed and the truck that my nameless neighbour had come in was gone and replaced with a blue jeep that shone in the light of the sun making the floor around it look dull in comparison. i went and fed Lou the pig when  I heard the gates open I was confused and went to investigate further. As I passed the coops I could see the nameless man stood there looking at me holding something."Hi" he said
Still shocked i managed to say "what are you doing here"
"Well I came to formally introduce myself...again"
"So...your name"I said still unsure
"Oh right I'm Jamie Stomen,I live down the street as you already know"he said as he handed me a pie "ahh store bought fancy"
"Well it would of been home made but the kitchen hasn't got an oven and my cooking ability stops at noodles and toast so that is the next best thing I'm afraid"we stood there for a second both looking at the pie a slight grin on both of our faces."so why don't we go in and cut it up..."
"No!"I interrupted "you go sit on the swing on the patio and I will bring you a slice"
"Oh okay" I watched him through the corner of my eye swinging on the chair slightly his head tilted away from me made his jawline even more prominent.As I walked out of the door struggling with the tray Jamie jumped up and took the tray of me with a smile i stood there shocked I've never been treated this way before he was a gentleman and I'm sad to say I was falling in love.He handed me a slice of his store bought apple pie with his cheeky smile on his face "what's this" he said as picking up one of the glasses "Umm it's peach ice tea,I hope that's okay"I said still stood six feet away from him holding my plate "that's grea I love Ice tea" he said while drinking the entirety of the glass I chuckled at how much he had enjoyed it "you coming to sit I'll move over more if you want" as he a shuffled over I debated my options allow myself to fall for a man I just met or be clever and not go through the pain of seeing another's death,it was a classic cliche story line.But curiosity took over me so I joined him on the seat."so where you from apple pie"I said to him
"Missouri born and raised I actually lived in Columbia before I moved here"
"Nice, why did you move from a big city to fellas and pig poo" I chuckled as I looked over at Lou loving the sun "to get away from a relationship actually,my ex-fiancé and I didn't end in the best of terms so I decided to escape and take time to work on a dream I've had for awhile,what about you?Any family?"
"Well I've got no family left my parents died in a house fire when I was 15 in Germany and then I moved here to live with my mothers childhood friend and here husband"
"Wow I'm sorry it must of been hard to go threw that at such a hard age"we again sat in silence for a few seconds I realised we did this often but it didn't matter because it was this that made our connection stronger I just hoped he had felt the same. "So what is this dream that you decided to peruse then"I asked him to get of the sad topic that was my life."I'm a writer,well I'm trying to be one"he said with doubt
"What sort of books do you write then comedy,fiction,romance"
"I actually write about the phenomenons of the world"
"Wow..." I said I don't think Jamie knew that a phenomenon was sat right in front of him eating his store bought pie "so are you published"
"Oh yes...two of my books were published years ago"
"Wow so I'm talking to the jk Rowling of phenomenons"
"No definitely not.Two published box 3 years ago is hardly a beloved book series with a movie franchise"
"Well never give up maybe your next big thing is standing right in front of you"
"I hardly think Lou the pig or Charlie the chicken is a natural phenomenon,unless they can talk"
"Talking about the animals I have to carry on with my chores so if you may" I gestured to the gate and smiled "yes,I should get back and wait for my fridge to be arrived"we walked past cups and plates that were licked clean of any trace of sauce or crumbs and down the stairs but then I tripped I fell down the three steps that lead on to the hard floor,but you see this isn't my problem everything became slow motion I saw Jamie leaning in to catch me my heart stopped I didn't want to have a vision I tried to move but by the time my body had listened to my brain Jamie was cradling me in his arms "careful"he said.
