When Roses Grow Black Chapter 28 Past lives. The notion just popped in to my mind out of nowhere. With dreams like these, the idea wasn't all that crazy. I had always had a feeling that the super natural was real, but no one ever believed be. At that moment I really wished to laugh in all my friends' faces. But I couldn't do that. I didn't have a good reason not to, but I knew I couldn't make any contact with my past life. It was as though my that part of my life were over and a whole new chapter was beginning. "These aren't dreams are they?" AJ asked with knowing shining in his eyes. I slowly shook my head, "Past lives. Who would have thought." I laughed bitterly at my luck. I felt reality strike me as I realized I would never see anyone I grew up with ever again. No more Justin, no more Auntie, no more Krystal, no more Kristen, no more Mike, no more Dad, no more Grandma, no more Gerry, no more no body. I quickly took a deep breath of air and shook the depressing thoughts far from my mind. This was neither the time nor the place to mourn the loss of the idiotic life I had accomplished. "So, the dreams really happened?" AJ asked in to the silence. He wasn't really talking to me. He was sorting it out in his mind, and looking more for me to confirm his thoughts than to tell him what was happening. "Who the hell is going to believe that!?!" he burst out suddenly and I jumped about a mile high. "I don't know!" I snapped back at him, pissed off that he had scared me. That was something that I only let Justin, my older brother, do to me. "Arguing like true siblings," Kevin said as he opened the door and stepped in to the room. He held his right fore-arm which was dripping blood on to the tan carpeted floor. I already knew the wound was from the dream. That was the one thing that still got me. If it was just a past life, then why did we really get hurt when we were hurt in the dream or memories or whatever. "That was a past life, dude. That doesn't still make us siblings," AJ retorted while standing up. "What do yo know any way?" "He remembers," I stated more to myself than to AJ. Kevin looked at me and nodded his head. "What do you remember?" Kevin came further in to the room and took the seat in which was vacant next to me. He held out his arm and I carefully began cleaning and wrapping it. "AJ, stop pacing back and forth, and sit down," Kevin first reprimanded. "I don't remember much but I remember enough. I remember the magic and your parents most of all." With out warning, the bus lurched to the right and the three of us were tossed off the couch. I felt the bus pick up speed as we were tossed from left to right. I heard a loud thud in the hallway and figured someone had fallen out of one of the bunks. I no longer saw street lights passing by the window above our heads, and my heart beat a little faster. Trying to steady myself, I grabbed on to the closest thing and braced myself.Next: Chapter 29 |
