Part 11

Linda's P.O.V.

I was wandering in a school building. I could see the lockers right and left, although the only light was coming from the moon. I suddenly realized that the place wasn't completely strange to me. It was my old school at Sheffield. I didn't think of it at all so I couldn't consider one reason that my dream was taking place in it. I heard music coming from the gym. I looked down at me and saw that I was wearing my prom dress. I understood where I was. It was 23rd December, our prom for the end of the year. I opened the doors and the crowd and the music invited me in. I recognized our school band, the 'Pencils', and our teachers. I froze as one of them headed towards me. I knew him but I didn't remembered him being to my school. What was he doing in my dream?

“ Hi Linda” he said in a friendly voice. Only I could hear the danger that was hidden behind it. “ Let me clear your mind from all this fog in here”

“ How do you...?”. I left my sentence half. How is it possible that Brandon knew that? I had never told anybody about these moments that I couldn't recall anything from my life before I moved to Alicia's.

“ Don't bother your mind with such things. This is your memory from the school dance. But things didn't happened this way...do you wanna know how they happened?”. He sounded honest.

“ Yes” I said without thinking it twice. I would give everything to solve the mystery.

“ Okay then, look me in the eyes and everything will be cleared”. His voice was attractive. I did as he told me. I got lost in his brown eyes. I felt dizzy but I couldn't stop looking at him. For a moment there was silence. Then, the house music sounded louder. I looked for Brandon but he wasn't anywhere near me. He was with the other teachers, talking to Mr Stanton. I remembered why I had gone there. Because he was there. Daryl was waiting for me. I saw him coming. He was dressed all in black and I gotta say that he looked great. Okay, more than that, he looked hot and a little...wilder than now. I thought that the intuition that I knew him was right and that he had lied to me. My phone rang and I read the text : When you wake up you'd better look for photos- Brad.
I was thrilled that Daryl was my date and apparently my boyfriend, but I got to live in the present and for that I should wake up. Wake up, wake up...

I woke up trembling from fear and sweat. I stood still till my thoughts were rational enough to make sense. Brandon and Daryl were both parts of my previous life, but somehow I couldn't remembered them. And if they were actually there, then there would be proof. I was temped to go look at the photographs but I decided to do it in the early morning.

5:00 am

I couldn't help myself stay at the bed. I hadn't slept at all and it was a miracle that I waited until now. I wore my shoes and I went downstairs and looked for my old chest- it wasn't too big to cannot be carried. After messing up the living room, I went to the attic. Some minutes later I dag it up. I found the album in the bottom. I opened it and searched for photos from proms. As I was passing the pages I took glimpses of me when I was younger, mom and dad, my old friends... I saw myself at 1st grade. I was with my date, Jack. At the 2nd grade I was alone... I stared at the picture. Daryl was a few steps behind looking at me. His smile was like the one he gave me the first day we met at school. No, that was wrong. Clearly it wasn't our first time and therefore, he had lied to me. I was too furious to think logically. I ran to my room and dressed up with a gray sweater and jeans. My mood wasn't better than the colors in my clothes. I let a note to Alicia to inform her that I had taken her car and I left for his house. I was holding the photo I had found, as I was driving. It was one proof, the other was my dream. Even thought I was angry at him I was jealous of Linda-in-the previous-life that had the chance to be with him.

Daryl's P.O.V.

After that kiss Linda wasn't talking to me. I was depressed, I had ruined everything. Damn, why could I not just keep my mouth closed? Why could I not stop myself from kissing her?

The last few days all I was seeing her doing was to be with Jensen. It hurt me so much to see her with him that I stayed home for a while. She seemed happy with him. Maybe, I should let her be and just leave. No, I promised myself that I would fight for her. Maybe, I had to let her remember about 2 years ago when everything was better, kind of. Who am I kidding? She would hate me forever and I couldn't stand that.

My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of tires in the road. I knew that it was pretty far from here and probably was just a random car, but that didn't stop me from thinking of her coming to me. I heard the car stopping by the house. I looked outside the window and for my surprise, there she was trying to decide whether to knock or not. I couldn't help, but think that she was adorable when she was trying to make a decision. I ran downstairs and opened the door with a “casual” look. I noticed that she was holding a piece of paper and seemed concerned. My nerves tightened as I figured out what the expression meant. Within just a minute everything went black. She couldn't tell what happened in the second of her hesitation.

“ Linda” I said in a fake surprise. “ What are you doing here?”

“ I'm here about this.” she answered. Her irritation was almost gone. My cold tone hurt her and I knew it. Some things didn't change for her. She showed me a photo of her two years ago. The ball at her old school was one of our happiest moments. We danced all night. It was one of the rare opportunities that I had to hold her in my arms. To kiss her.

“ You lied to me!” she almost whispered. Tears filled her eyes, but she wiped them before they fell. “ You said we didn't know each other.” she said louder. “ But of course you lied. Why?” she whispered again.

I knew that something like that would happen. “ Linda, look I -” I held her hands in mine.

“ Don't touch me!” she yelled and took her hands away. “ Who the hell are you?”

“ I – I can't tell you.” I wish I could, but it would be a disaster for both of us. “ if you trust me, even a little piece of you, then you'll accept me the way I am now.”

“ I can't” she shouted. “ How can I possibly trust you when you were the one that has been lying to me from the very first day?” she took a breath and continued in a more sharpened tone. “ You know what? I don't care! Just stay away!” she finished and ripped the picture into little pieces. She turned her back to me and walked – run – to her car. I picked up the pieces.. they were just like my heart's...

Erin came on time. I needed her support and she knew it. “ She didn't mean it, you know” she said calmly. My respond wasn't as soft as hers.

: How do you know that? How do you know everything about love? You have never fallen for someone.” I was yelling.

“ Do not shout at me!” she said. “ You don't know a thing about my feelings. And if you want an advocator find someone who puts up with your nerves” she left me alone and regretful. I followed her and found her by the lake. She turned her head and tried to escape. I caught her hand and pulled her back. “ I'm so, truly sorry. I didn't want to yell at you. I know you're just trying to help, but I can't stand the idea her hating me.”

She sighed. “ Ah you know that I can't stay mad at you!” she hugged me and I hugged her back. “ Okay so how about doing something fun?” You have to get your mind off Linda.” she smiled at me.

“ Fine!” I gave in. “ What's on your mind?” I followed her and wend back home.

Linda's P.O.V.

I shut the door pretty much. I heard Steve's voice calling my name and Alicia's shouting something like what's up with you, Linda? , But nothing mattered. I run to my room and locked the door. I headed for the window. I closed it and its curtains. The room was now black, just like I was inside. I didn't know and couldn't tell why he had that effect on me. Everything he did affected me in odd ways. He was always made me cry for him... I laid on my bed and closed my eyes. I just wanted to fall asleep, because lately my dreams were better than reality. Well, when I wasn't dreaming about him. Unfortunately, I did that night. He had haunted my dreams, literally.

We were fighting, once again. Seriously, we were fighting in my dreams too?

“ Just stop okay? I don't want to answer any other stupid questions.” he yelled at me.

“ Fine! If you don't want to tell me the truth I think we are done here!” I felt the tears coming. I had never cried so much in my life. I felt that even in my dreams, he ruined our chance to be together and had proved himself dishonest. The fact that he kept me out of his life was painful. I had got over my fears and instincts so we could be together and he only thing he did was put another wall between us. I run away from the only thing I cared about... that I loved.

I woke up with tears in my eyes. It was so real... I just couldn't distinguish reality from my dreams anymore...

“ I will not cry for you ever again.” I muttered and tried to fall asleep...
