ASTRAL PROJECTION—-the concept in which it is an intentional out of body experience that assumes the existence of a soul or conscious referred to as an astral body.
something that only some have the self control to actually do.
"what do you mean you had dreams about us?!"
"i-i used to always see you two in my dreams! like i've heard your names before a-and i've seen you guys!" she responded,
"bullshit" miles said,
"i know she was pregnant" amelia crossed her arms,
miles didn't tell her that part, so how the fuck would she know?
"okay now you're scaring me" miles have her a look,
"you live with two loud people that radiate amazing energy"
he really didn't mention that either, he kept it strictly about lexie.
"jack and noah" miles replied,
"and you also have a crush on your best friend" she smirked, miles coughed loudly,
"w-what?! i do not!" he shouted at her, sounding defensive.
"you do, lexie went missing and you were so heart broken because you already broke up that you didn't know what to do so you drank your feelings away, only to start feeling something for your best friend because she was the only one who helped you when everyone else left you and it meant the entire world to you..."
"...am i right?" she smiled,
"no"
"liar"
"—i don't! we always said no feelings, so no" he stubbornly said,
"just because you said something doesn't mean anything, if you can't tell i'm super cool and can move stuff with my mind" she smirked,
"so very cool" he muttered,
"listen, i'm not trying to offend you, you're still in love with lexie i believe that, but you also feel something for your best friend, it doesn't mean you'll do anything it's just that the feeling is there" she softly said.
"fine" miles crossed his arms, she furrowed her brows, he saw the look on her face before sighing,
"fine yes! yes it's true and no one was supposed to know that" he said,
"YAY! i'm always right" she jumped up and started dancing, he stared at her for a moment,
"can you read minds or something?" he asked
"kind of"
"you know, i'm gonna call you lia" he pointed his finger at her,
"why?"
"it's pretty" he shrugged, she looked at him weird,
"i'm not hitting on you, it's just a pretty name" he explained, she nodded.
"do you ever have dance parties?" she asked,
"i'm not thirteen"
"you're lame, cool people have dance parties" she jumped around.
"you look stupid" he laughed,
"i look like the coolest fricking person on this planet" she replied,
"fuck" miles groaned at the shooting pain in his side,
"GASP, watch your profanity!" she pointed a finger at him,
"i'm a twenty one year old man" he looked up at her,
"i'm an eighteen year old woman and i don't swear" she crossed her arms,
"oh little lia, you're a child" he stood up,
"you're really tall" she looked up at him,
"you're really small" he patted her head,
"DOUBLE GASP, i'm 5'7, that's not short" she crossed her arms,
"next to me, it is" he said, causing her to frown,
miles looked around for a few seconds before speaking,
"do you have a phone? i need to call someone" he said,
she sadly shook her head no,
"i don't have enough money for one because i live on my own now" she sadly said,
"it's okay, don't worry" he said as he tried to walk around, it hurt like hell though.
"you going to college?" miles asked as he leaned against the counter,
"yeah, i want to be a surgeon"
"oh so i was your test dummy?" miles laughed, she smiled a bit before responding,
"give or take" she shrugged,
"where are you going for school?"
"well..." she sighed,
"...i got into harvard" she said,
"no way" he smiled,
"yeah, i did" she smiled again, it was her biggest accomplishment
"can i tell you something that hardly anyone knows?" he asked, she nodded,
he walked over to her before whispering,
"i got into harvard too" he said,
"WHAT?!" she shouted,
"i dropped out though" he shrugged,
"holy cow you're a literal harvard drop out" she said with wide eyes,
"i am, i wanted to be a doctor at first and then i just didn't want to do it, i'm happier now but either way i became successful" he shrugged,
"you're a cool dude" she responded,
"you know, i like you" miles said to lia,
"how could you not like me?! i'm so cool" she smiled,
"you remind me of a little puppy" he said to her,
"good or bad?"
"adorable"
"that wasn't on my list" she crossed her arms,
"tell me a random fact about yourself" he said as he laughed,
"uh well if i was an emoji i would want to be a taco because tacos are good and i like being good and you know— as a society we need to come together and be better i mean like we need to recycle more and take care of our beautiful earth because ice is melting and animals are losing their habitats and the poor animals don't have a home and that's really sad imagine your home being destroyed—" she rambled,
"—stop talking, it's adorable, but stop talking" he grabbed her shoulders.
"and yes, taco emoji's are cool, and yes recycling is good" he said to her,
"i also like the color green, it's pretty— OH MY GOD WAIT YOU NEED TO MEET WLIBUR!" she screamed,
"who's wilbur?"
she ran away for a few seconds before coming back, he stared down at her.
she was holding a stuffed frog.
"this is wilbur" she handed the stuffed animal to him, he stared down at it.
"wilbur is cool" he said,
"he's even cooler than me" she nodded as she took him back,
"you're lame"
"TRIPLE GASP!" she screamed before grabbing a pillow with her mind and throwing it at him,
"hey! don't use your powers on me!" he pointed a finger at her,
"i will throw you at the wall"
"i don't need you losing control of them— wait, how long have you had powers?" he asked,
"uh, well freshman year i was doing algebra homework and i got really mad because i kept getting this one problem wrong and i kind of made my dog start flying across the room- so uh like three years" she said,
"you made your dog fly?!" he shouted at her,
"yeah, he was okay though! but then i thought i was like a superhero or like a wizard— OOH like the main character in a movie and i was going to get taken away to hogwarts and— ooh maybe i'm a hufflepuff or a ravenclaw" she snapped her fingers,
miles nodded, she talked a lot, but in a good way, he actually really liked her personality.
"oh and also, i will help you find lexie, this is like- like romeo and juliet! star crossed lovers! oh wait i could be wrong but like i'll help you because i'm super cool and i have superpowers"
"wait really?" his eyes lit up,
"yeah, i can try"
he looked sad though, he was so close to her and he messed up, and now he has to drag another person into it,
"i'm sorry, about her being gone and stuff, i-i know this isn't the same thing but in third grade my best friend rosie moved to florida and i was so sad and i haven't seen her since but i don't know if that makes you feel better, uh want a cookie?" she grabbed a cookie with her powers and gave it to him.
"i'm fine"
"when's the last time you ate?"
"i don't remember"
"EAT COOKIE!" she put the cookie to his mouth.
he rolled his eyes before taking the cookie and eating it,
"there's two rooms here so here's your bed" she pulled his arm to his room,
"you can sleep, stay as long as you need i'm lonely so you can be my buddy and i'll help you" she said as he went and sat down on his bed,
"thank you, really, you're so sweet, i would've been dead if it wasn't for you" he said, she smiled,
"no problem" she shut the door
—
a few hours later, miles was laying and staring up at the ceiling. he wasn't tired, he couldn't sleep
the door opened, lia was there, holding wilbur, the stuffed animal.
"you're not sleeping?"
"no, i cant sleep"
"are you not comfy? i can sleep on the couch and you can sleep in my bed i mean you just got stabbed so i'm fi—" she began saying,
"—lia, it's fine, really, and i'm not uncomfortable, it's just that im not tired" he explained, causing her to nod.
she walked over and sat on the bed,
"my parents kicked me out" she said,
"what?" he looked at her with wide eyes,
"my parents, they kicked me out, that's why i live on my own" she explained,
"...they're like very hardcore conservatives and i um, i'm bisexual and they find out, and they didn't like that" she sadly said,
"they told me that i had to be straight or i couldn't live with them, so i told them if they didn't love me for me then they failed their job as parents, and then they threw me out" she frowned,
"i'm sorry" he whispered,
"...do you have any siblings you can go to?" he asked,
"i have two older brothers and a younger one, they agree with my parents, so no." she shook her head,
"that's rough, i'm really sorry" he frowned,
"it's okay, like you said, life goes on" she shrugged,
"...well you need to sleep, now, i demand you to sleep" she pointed a finger at him,
"fine"
"goodnight miles" she stood up and walked to the door,
"goodnight lia"
