"JEWEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Someone screamed
I quickly open my eyes and sat up on my bed.
"HELP!!!!!"
I went out of my bedroom and ran downstairs.
I heard a voice from the kitchen. "Jewel!"
I ran in and I saw...
5 men dressed on black with a ski mask on, standing behind each of the family members.
Dad carrying Brock, Mom holding the baby, Gavin, Avia, and Emmi.
Each men was pointing their knives at their necks.
My eyes widened with fear.
"STOP!" I yelled.
My family looked straight at me.
I heard a match getting lit.
I looked to my right and I saw a man in black also with a grey ski mask.
"Stop him." I heard my Dad's voice in my head but his lips weren't moving.
"They covered the place with gasoline." My mom's voice said.
"Let's light this baby up." The grey ski mask man said.
"STOP HIM!" Gavin yelled in my head.
I ran towards him trying to tackle him.
My hands went through him. I'm a ghost?
Why can my family only see me?
"Oh no." Avia said.
The man threw matches on the counter.
Fire, fire, fire, fire everywhere.
"Burn, baby.. BURN!" He yelled.
The fire grew bigger.
Daxton cried loudly.
"SHUT UP!!!!" The man yelled.
We were surrounded by fire. I felt the heat and smelled the smoke.
"Slit their throats." He demanded.
"3.."
Oh no oh no oh no!!
"2.."
I dropped to my knees. "Stop please! Stop!" I cried so much.
"1..."
"No!"
I watched them have their throats slit, fall to the floor, and die.
I screamed as loud as I could.
+++++
I woke up screaming.
My dad and mom came barging in my room.
They found me crying my eyeballs out.
They sighed in relief thinking I saw a robber or something.
I sat up covering my face with my hands.
Mom walked over and rubbed my back.
"It's alright, sweetie."
I tried to stop crying but I imagined the scene over and over again in my head.
"Had a nightmare?" Dad asked and he turned on the light.
I wanted to say yes but it would sound like : hhhh... iiiit... ehgu... wa-wa-wassszzz a *sniff* a night huheguuh m-m-marrrreeee.
"I'm pretty sure." Mom said back.
"What's going on?" I heard Avia ask.
"I heard someone scream." Emmi said.
I wiped my tears but I couldn't stop crying.
I hugged Mom tightly.
"Awww."
"Jewel had a nightmare." Dad said.
Emmi said, "It probably was a really scary nightmare."
"Yeah."
I let go of Mom and reached out to hug Dad.
He hugged me back and I felt his beard on my neck and shoulder.
He kissed me on my forehead. "It'll be okay."
"I wanna hug her too!" Avia said.
Dad and I let go and Avia and Emmi hugged me tightly.
I felt the family love. I started to cry harder.
"It's okay." Emmi kissed my cheek.
They let go and Dad told them to go back to sleep.
They ran to their bed room.
Dad said, "You have to go to sleep too, okay? Goodnight. I love you."
I responded back, "I lu-lu- luhh *sniff* love you t-too."
Mom kissed my head and said, "Goodnight, my precious Jewel. I love you so much."
"I love you too." I managed to say.
I lied back down on my bed.
My parents turned off the light and closed the door and walked quietly to their room.
I sniffed and I wiped away the tears.
I looked at my clock. 5:28AM. God damn I hate Mondays.
2 more hours then I have to wake up. Kill me now.
+++++
School was okay.
Today Jessica gave me a bright pink card to me and Luke which said in girly handwriting.
OMG! You are invited to my party! You are very lucky! Bring your swimsuit because we are going to be chillin' in the outdoor pool at my house! We are going to be dancing and we're going to have so much fun! Come talk to me or text me if you have any questions! See you there!
Then she wrote the date which was Friday and her address. So James is going to be there? :3
+++++
After school I met up with Luke with my navy coloured bike.
I met Lily and she was so cute and adorable! Her hair was the same hair colour as Merida.
I met Chris afterwards and he was a tall guy. He had dark brown hair.
Luke carried his emerald green bike and Chris carried his bike with Lily's bike outside.
"Jewel," Lily tugged my shirt.
"Yeah?"
"Did you choose that bike?"
"I did."
"Why didn't you get the colour pink? Like me?" Lily pointed at her tricycle.
It was hot pink with glitter and it had a basket with a bell.
"Why couldn't I get this colour?"
"Because blue is for boys. Pink is for girls!"
"Not all girls like pink. They can like boy colours too. Also boys ca like the colour pink, Lily."
She made a cute confused look. "Really, Jewel?"
"Yup!"
"Okay."
We all got on our bicycles and Chris biked in front. Then Luke was at the back.
The park had a concrete path with playgrounds, fountains, statues, rivers.
Chris and Lily were biking together side by side, at the same pace.
Unlike me and Luke, we were peddling as fast as we could. We were racing and we played tag.
Until, I didn't watch where I was going and I peddled straight into the bush.
Yes, that was VERY painful. I had scratches and cuts by the sharp branches and my hair got tangled. I got huge bruises.
Luke was an awesome friend and laughed at me.
He stuck a hand out. "You okay? Haha!"
"Yes! I'm totally fine!!" I grunted and grabbed his arm and pulled him in too.
"Ow! Why'd you do that?"
"Payback, 'cause you laughed at me!!!"
We got out and Luke had not as many scratches as me.
We walked with our bikes to the nearest bench.
He picked a leaf out of my hair.
"Thanks.."
"There's more."
"You know what? Leave it. I'm friends with nature today. I like leaves in my hair."
He laughed.
I wondered if I should tell Luke about James. I had the urge to say it. But then I'm like, "nononono. Another time?" I really want to tell him. But again, "nononono."
"Luke I have a crush on a guy I met at a pool and we exchanged phone numbers and my family is teasing me about it and what do I do?" I blurted.
His eyes widened.
"What's his name?"
"James." I said but I said it like it was a question.
I bit my lip.
"JEWEL HAS A CRUSH! JEWEL HAS A CRUSH!" He sang.
"Stop! Shush! Zip that mouth and chuck the key away!"
"Jewel and James sittin' on a tree! K-I-S-S-I-"
I slapped my hand on his mouth.
He took my hand off his mouth and shoved it away.
"OOOOHH! Two J's! Jewel and James start with a J so on the tree, you two will carve out J+J with a heart around it." He pointed out.
I rolled my eyes.
"Can you shut it?"
"Yup! I'm done." He wore a derpy grin on his face.
After a few moments later, "K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" He yelled.
"Are you done yet?"
"Now I am."
My cheeks got pink.
"Good."
After a few hours of biking again, we walked back to Luke's house. Said our goodbyes and I walked back to my house, putting my bike away.
I locked the door.
I hear a voice from upstairs.
"So then you always have to stay positive and-"
"I'M BACK!!" I shouted.
Dad comes running down the stairs, holding the camera.
"How was it?"
"It was fine."
"Oh my gosh what happened?"
"I.. Uh... Had an accident?"
"ACCIDENT?!" Mom yelled and runs as fast as she could down the stairs.
"Are you okay? Are your bones fine?" She asked worriedly.
She thought I meant car accident.
"My bones are fine. I biked straight in a bush."
Dad started chuckling. "You biked in a bush?!"
"Always watch where you are going okay?" Mom picked a leave out of my hair.
I nodded.
"Ouch. You have a deep cut beside your eye."
"It's not bleeding though, is it, Dad?"
"No, but still wash your cuts."
"There's germs! Germs everywhere!" Mom said in a British accent.
Dad laughed.
"I think you might need to shower.." Mom says.
"I agree."
