EPISODE 29
Bella
It was Saturday morning, No alarm to wake me up but I woke up at the exact time my alarm would wake me up.
I got down from my bed and immediately made it to the bathroom.
Brushing my teeth and staring at myself in the square mirror in front of my eyes, all I think of is how far Fynn and I have come.
Well it’s just yesterday we started going out but, I feel like it’s since forever.
Like who would have thought I’d ever date someone in this stupid life. I’ve always been an anti-social and daddy’s little girl. I don’t really talk or want to talk to anyone. And now I’m dating well to be precise Fynn isn’t a normal human being, he’s a magical being, but who cares, normal is so boring.
I took my bath happily and the warm water from the shower seemed to be warmer than ever.
I dried my body, applied lotion and put on my clothes, just as I made it to the door, about to open it, it opened and Jane walked in.
“Hey. I made breakfast!” she smiled.
“Oh really, thanks.” I replied and she looked around my room.
“What are you looking for?” I asked looking around to see if my eyes could get what she was looking for.
“Fynn!” she said without hesitation.
“What? Why would Fynn be here?” I asked nervously.
“Oh you’re asking that? I don’t know, maybe because you two are going out and maybe it’s because I walked into your room at 2am in the morning to see Fynn still here. So how is it not possible he might be here!” Jane said.
I laughed nervously. “Well let’s go before breakfast gets cold.”
I pushed Jane outside and followed her too closing the door behind us.
Well it is true that Fynn came at my house yesterday, after spending half of the day at his. I can’t remember what we talked about though, it’s funny how we can’t get enough of each other.
Jane joined me on the dinning table. Placing the plate of bacon beside me.
“So have you called Jen to come have breakfast!?” I asked.
“Yeah, she ignored me but I know she heard me she’ll be down in a few..” Jane said and I nodded.
We both started to eat without Jennifer and when I tasted the bacons I stopped eating and looked up at Jane…
She laughed.
“You tasted it too right, there’s too much salt” she said nervously.
“Yeah… How… Come?” I was speechless for a while.
“Well I don’t know… but wait was I supposed to add salt in the bacons or was I…
Jane laughed seeing the surprised look on my face.
And she gave a small pout
“You can’t blame me I don’t cook.”.
Jennifer joined the table with her phone in her hand. And starts to eat and just like we expected she yelled.
“The bacons.”
“Yeah yeah it’s salty, I made it, just like you like it!” Jane said and Jennifer rolled her eyes.
“Just admit you’re bad at cooking”.
Jane smirked. “I admit, I am bad at cooking but, I am way better than you!”
“You wish.” Jennifer scoffed.
“Remember when mom and dad went on a business trip last year and you decided to cook just rice for the house and you ended up putting noodles in rice. I mean who does that! If we hadn’t order pizza that night we would have starved to death or would have eaten your poison.” Jane expound leaving Jennifer speechless.
“But I’m still prettier than you.!” Jennifer suddenly said.
“Wow.” Jane laughed. “you’re such a child.”
I smiled as I watched the girls bickered at each other.
Jennifer suddenly turned to me.
“Now honestly, Bella look at me and now look at Jane, who’s prettier?” she asked placing her hand under her chin.
“Seriously Jennifer.” Jane rolled her eyes pretending not to care, but the glance she threw at me made me know she was actually curious.
“Okay honestly, the prettiest is… Janeiffer” I said with a laugh.
“What the h*ell?” Jennifer expression changed.
“Was that supposed to be the combination of our names?” Jane asked.
“Yeah cause. I can’t really pick who’s pretty. Cause you’re both pretty in your own way!” I tell him.
“Ugh those cliche words make me cringe” Jennifer said.
Jane rolled her eyes at her sister and the three of us continued to eat without saying a word.
We were all done with breakfast and Jane did the dishes, I always did the dishes.
Jennifer seemed happy and hyperactive today, well Saturdays are always filled with energetic spirits.
I got back to my room and immediately saw my phone blinking, it blinks when I’ve missed a call.
I ran up to my phone which was laying on the drawer beside my bed and picked up to see who would call me.
When suddenly a hand circled around my waist.
“Fynn” I called and he laughed.
I looked at my phone to see it was Fynn who called.
“Seriously?” I rolled my eyes as I dropped my phone.
Fynn spun me around and smiled when we had to look at each other face to face.
“Wow.” escaped my lips, I don’t know but I think he’s getting prettier everyday.
“What?” he asked.
“Nothing!” I gave him a small hug.
“So… I Have something to tell you.!” Fynn said gently pushing me away from his body and directing my body to my bed and helped me sit.
“Something to tell me?” I said as I adjusted my body on the bed to be comfortable.
“Okay so this may sound… I don’t know, but Jojo and I found a way, to take that necklace off you!” Fynn blurted.
“Off me? I don’t understand”.
“Okay you know how the necklace is enchanted and how it has linked your life to yours and also gave you the special ability to heal faster but also an end to your life if you take it off!” Fynn said and I nodded, I mean how could I forget that from this necklace which has put me through a lot.
“Well I didn’t know the solution to it, was if I just spilled my blood on it like you did. It will be linked to me and not you!” Fynn explained and my jaw dropped.
“Really? Like! That’s it? And I’ve been here thinking I’ll lose my life to a necklace.!” I scoffed. Well happily.
“That’s it! If I just make my blood lay on that crystal you’ll be free, no more healing no more linked life.” Fynn explained happily seeing me happily.
I sighed. “Okay so this is great news but somehow I don’t want you to.”
“What why?” Fynn was surprised.
“Cause, somehow I feel very close to you with this necklace on me and I’m feeling like If I take it off now I won’t be connected to you!” I explained and fynn’s eyes wouldn’t leave mine as he held up the most proudest smile ever.
“Can I kss you?” he asked dumbly.
“Now back to the necklace!” I quickly changed the subject and he laughed hysterically.
“You’ve been pestering me about how you want this necklace out of your life but now you want them to stay?” his smile was gorgeous.
Honestly Fynn doesn’t look very humanlike,
He looks like… Something, or someone that should exist in heaven.
And I can’t believe he’s my boyfriend.
“Okay look, the necklace can stay with me for a while and maybe soon you can finally take it away from me.” I sighed.
“Okay i can’t believe your hope is filled in this necklace, cause no matter what, necklace or no necklace, we’re still connected.” Fynn said those beautiful words into my head and gently kssed my lips.
I smiled against his lips and pushed him back a little.
“Fynn?” I called and his eyes looked at me curiously. “what?” he asked.
I laughed. “Okay so this may sound ear breaking but since whenever did you become so romantic with words? I knew when I first met you, you were as dumb as my ceiling fan.” I teased.
“Wow. That is one big insult there.” he laughed.
“I could have said no offence but it’s the truth.” I nodded at him and he bit his lips and smiled.
“You know sometimes, we don’t understand what we can do or say unless we meet the right person, this words just comes out from my head and I’m serious Bella, your face says a lot that I’m still not able to decipher” Fynn said making my face heat up, he really does have a way with words.
“Well thanks.” I said shyly.
“Thanks for what?” he asked.
“For…” I sighed. “nothing” when I realised he was about to tease me.
Well Fynn and I spent the day like every other days, being obsessed with each other.
He had lunch with Jane and I. And so with dinner.
During nighttime I went over to his place, spent almost half of the night there before coming home and getting under my covers. It was like my life finally turned right side up, who would have thought my aunt would like or noticed me or who would have thought I’d get along with my sister. And lastly who would have thought I’d get along with Fynn and also be in a relationship with him.
I woke up to the sound of my alarm, and my head calculated before opening my eyes. Why would my alarm ring on a sunday.
I opened my eyes and was shocked when I realized this wasn’t my room.
I quickly sat up and looked around.
Wait this isn’t my room.
I looked around again, but it’s also my room.
Huh.?
I was confused, supper confused.
The door to the room… My room opened and my dad walked in.
My Dad?????
“Morning sunshine.” he said as he bite on the banana he was holding on one of his hand.
“Dad?” I called, befuddled.
He studied my bewildered face and let out that amazing smile that I missed.
“Oh Right, sorry, I couldn’t wait for the mail man to drop it in the mail box, I had to take it from him and bring it to you here!” my dad smiled, and wiggled the bunch of papers he held in the other hand.
Fynn was the first person that came to my mind.
“So here, open it!” my dad said and dropped a white envelope in front of me. “I know you’d get in, but let’s just see sometimes some universities buy the wrong computer.” my dad said nervously and as I looked down at the envelope to see a familiar diagram, I suddenly remembered telling my dad yesterday about the type of bed i want if I get into college.
I remembered a whole lot more, before I could put down my head, I made sure I gave my dad a warm hug before sitting back on my bed. I mean I missed him. He died.!
Or.
“So open it!” my dad said referring to the envelope, I opened the envelope and I as I opened it, I remembered when I was filling an application to get Into one of the best school in town, and my heart melted when my dad said. “Come on hurry, did you get in.”
His smile
I looked at the papers and like expected, I got the admission, and into one of the best universities.
“I got in!!” I yelled happily.
“Now that’s my girls!” my dad rejoiced and kssed my forehead.
We both heard noises from outside my window and looked down to see a moving truck and people moving things into the house close to ours.
“Oh looks like we got ourselves some new neighbors.! Anyways honey go get ready and come downstairs for breakfast!” my dad said and walked out of my room.
I paused and looked around. Like it was strange how my head was fixated on how my dad didn’t die. He never died.!
And then suddenly it hit me.!!
It was all a dream!.
A dream.
Fynn….
No it can’t be, how can a dream be so real? How can it be so real. I remembered everything so well like it happened, from when my dad died and how my life turned into Cinderella’s living in my aunt’s place.
What the h*ell.
A dream. All those dream, for just one night.
And it felt so…
I almost cried as I made it out of the door and slowly down the stairs.
Somehow I was disappointed it was a dream.
The word “dream” still hurts so bad.
I made it down the familiar stairs of my house and I remembered everyday I spent here like it was yesterday.
I met my dad in the living room and he pointed to the dinning table.
Just as I was about to go we heard a knock from the door.
“Don’t worry go have your breakfast, I’ll answer the door.” my dad said and I nodded.
My dad answered the door while I picked up the buttered bread beside my tea.
I didn’t feel hungry but still I had to eat, I took one sandwich buttered bread and as I took a bite, I head to the door to see who my dad was talking to.
I Froze when I saw Fynn standing at the door. He looked more taller and more masculine. His hair was longer, he was still attractive but still not up to the Fynn I know.
“Oh Mr George you didn’t tell me you had a daughter.”
My dad turned to me and then back at him.
“Oh sorry, this is my daughter Bella!” my dad smiled.
“Hey there Bella.” Fynn… No The guy standing in front of my door, said to me with a smile and a little wink.
My dad expression changed with the guys sudden wink. “HI” I said taking his hand that was waiting for a handshake.
“I’m Flynn by the way” He introduced.
Flynn,!! You’ve got to be kidding me.
That one was Fynn and this one is Flynn.
Flynn continued anyways, “We’re your new neighbors and we just came to say hi.”
We?
I looked down to see a shy little boy standing behind Fynn… Sorry I mean Flynn.
“Oh this is my brother Joseph” Flynn smiled.
“He’s twelve, we call him Jojo for short” Flynn said and ruffled his brother’s hair.
Jojo? No way?
Why am I feeling so… discombobulated
My dream. Its like I saw everything in my dream, instead Jojo’s a real boy and I don’t think Flynn is magical, he looks like a high school, jock, at the same time, a flirt and a player.
He still looks like my Fynn but there’s still a slight difference. He’s more built.
Flynn told my dad and I he’d come visit next time and we should come over for his family house warming party tomorrow night. He winked at me before walking away.
“I don’t like him, he looks like girls magnet” my dad said making me laugh.
My dad and I both had breakfast together that morning just like we always used to.
“So anyways, I never really told you this but uhh. My sister had an accident” my dad broke out and I looked up at him.
“Huh?”
“Yeah, your aunt Davina, she had an accident and she’s in a critical situation right now, I know she has always been a pain in my a$$, she totally hates me but I love her, her dear husband is with her at the hospital so I’m going to be bringing her two daughters over. I never really told you about them well cause, your aunt doesn’t take me as her family, but anyways those girls are your cousin, what are their names. Yeah Jennifer and Jessica, yeah right those two are brats but since I’m loving they’d be staying with us till their mother gets better.” my dad expound leaving my jaw to drop.
*
I stayed in my room and looked out my window.
Different thoughts running in my head.
So this is my real life. I’ve been dreaming about Fynn. It’s not even real. It was like I saw my afterlife all in a dream at once. My dad who died in the room, is still alive and now the person who’s almost dying is my aunt and Jane and Jennifer will be coming over here instead of me going over there.
It’s like I saw everything in one goal.
As I looked out my window I wondered deeply, After all the bond Fynn and I have been through, it was just a dream.
So it means that I saw a future I had yet to approach. And besides magic isn’t real, that’s why it is one positive feeling that it’s a dream.
So that mean I’ll be with Flynn later on??
