We ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But I was the only one in a lot of pain. I bet if our parents were home they’d know what to do. But our dad is away on a business trip and he took our mom with him. They gave us one month worth of food just in case they are gone long. So far it has been three weeks.

At five o’clock at night my arm felt like it was on fire. Just like in my book. I put ice on it but the ice melted instantly. I was scared and Bren was to. I forget what happened in my book next and Bren wont tell me. I keep telling him it would prepare me but he wont listen.

About five thirty my arm was cold. Once I put it over a fire, it died right before my eyes. I nearly jumped out of my skin… again! Bren covered my mouth.

“Stop screaming.” He told me. I didn’t know I was screaming at all. He dragged me to the couch and sat me down. “You have to calm down.”

“I can’t… I can only if you let me see what’s going to go on next.”

“You know I can’t. I don’t want you to freak out. Well more anyway.” He looked at me with more concern. He ran his hand through my hair and told me to relax. Then he went to go get some water.

Once he left, I went back to my own section of space. But instead of questions, I tried to walk. I took a few steps and nothing. Everything stayed the same. Nothing moved, not one sound. I looked at my feet and saw a weird red light. It made curls around my feet and up my legs. I checked my arm and saw the same pattern. When was strange was it wasn’t red, but a purple color.

I heard Brenden’s voice calling my name. I looked around and only saw space. Then I felt something on my shoulders but no one was there.

Automatically the lights were back and Brenden was shaking me. I quickly broke free of his grip and turned around to look at his concerned eyes.

“What do you want?” I asked.

“Are your ok? How is your arm?” He looked down at my arm. I looked at it to. It was like it was before my trip back to space. Plus it wasn’t hot nor cold nor in pain.

“It’s… fine…” He picked up his head. “You feeling alright? Your pale.”

I shook my head and the color came back into my cheeks. Bren gave me my water and told me to drink it slow. He then ran to the kitchen again for something for me.

I could barely walk now. For some reason my legs won’t work. Actually, all of my body wasn’t working! My breathing slowed down, my body went cold, and my eyes went black. I was blind and deaf.

I have no idea what happened but it was eight o’clock now and I was in bed. And, Brenden was pacing the room.

Once I sat up and asked what was wrong he hugged me. I was confused but I hugged him back.

“You were knocked-out for a few hours. Me and Dillon were worried about you.” Brenden said.

“Wait Dillon is here?” I almost shouted.

Then in the door-way came a showed figure. It just stood there and stared at me, looking right into my soul. We all stayed still for five minuets then the figure came towards us.

My heart speed up a it. Then a lot once the light hit the figures face. It was Dillon.

His hair had reached the middle of his neck. His face was clear and no glassed. He wore an Eagles jersey and black jeans. He was also a little shorter than my brother who was standing next to him with his shirt on.

I wanted to hug him so bad but he beat me to it. Dillon quickly had his arms around me then he kissed me. His cheeks were wet so he must have been crying before.

“How did you… When did you…” I asked. Dillon pressed his finger to my lips and told me not to worry about it. How could I not worry about it? Its late Saturday night and he is here with me.

“Honey all that matters is that I’m with you right here, right now. Love you.” Dillon then hugged me tightly.

I hugged him back and checked my arm. There wasn’t anything there. Thank goodness.

Dillon told Brenden to go watch T.V. or something and that he’ll take care of me. Once Brenden left he closed the door and sat next to me.

“Brenden said you passed out. He said he found you on the ground with your hands around your neck. Do you remember any of that?”

“No. I don’t know what you are talking about.” Dillon started to pet my hair. He was worried. I can tell. You could see it in his eyes.

He drew me close and rubbed my back. I didn’t do anything back to him. He was talking again but I couldn’t hear him anymore. But I could still see him. I bet he could tell I didn’t hear him because he stopped talking and looked at me.

We stared at each other for a few minutes. There wasn’t any sound in the room. Just our breathing. Then all of a sudden my cheek hurt. Dillon slapped my cheek to wake me up and it worked.

“Are you alright?” Dillon asked.

“Yeah I think…” I said.

He kissed me again and held me against his chest. He held me tightly and didn’t let me go. Even when Brenden came back into the room.

“Dillon let her go. She needs to eat.” Bren said.

Brenden cooked! That was my first reaction. He brought me soup and Dillon finally let me go.

They left the room and let me eat. They started to talk outside the door but I couldn’t understand what they were saying. My guess is that they were talking about video games and stuff along those lines.

Once I finished eating I laid down and closed my eyes. I tried to sleep but I couldn’t. In a few minutes the bedroom door opened and closed. Then there was a soft hand on my back.

“Don’t worry about anything. I’m here and I’m staying until your better.” It was Dillon whispering in my ear. I guess he though I was asleep.

He then curled his body around mine and fell asleep. I did to with him against me.
