when the darkness fades

Chapter 18

Indy POV

‘Indy, not everything is what it seems, trust yourself.’ ‘Not everyone has your best interest at heart and they are here just to hurt you’. When I look up I can see my mother and it is her words I am hearing. Next thing I hear is banging on my door as she restates what she just said. I just nod as I get taken away from her again. I wake up and I am on the laying with my back on the door. ‘Indy, what is wrong with your door it wont open’ Grammy worriedly said. I unlock the door quietly and open it.

‘Sorry Grammy I accidently feel asleep behind it, not sure how I did though’ I sheepishly told her. ‘Oh, Indy. I know things must be hard at the moment but please remember you can talk to me and I won’t judge you.’ She spoke. I nodded back to her and told I would be done shortly after I showered and changed. I shut the door, WTF is going on in my head, why would I be seeing Jax and Drake in my nightmare of the accident. I grabbed my clothes and headed for the bathroom. Once I was showered and dressed, I headed to the kitchen.

Grammy had already made it and was putting it on to my plate as I walked in. She looked at me and smiled, I gave a small smile back. ‘What is on your mind’ Grammy asked me, ‘nothing really, just a weird dream’ I replied. ‘I am here if you want to talk about it’ she answered back. I thought for a moment. ‘Is it weird to have a bad dream and it be about people you know’ I asked her. She gave me a puzzled look so I continued ‘like my dream last night had Jax and Drake in it and I am not sure why they were in it’.

‘You must have been thinking about them’ she replied. I gave her a question look and now it was her time to continue ‘Well, sometimes we dream of people we were thinking about. It might be a good dream and sometimes it can be bad, we just have to figure out if our memory is trying to tell us something’. ‘Ok, that kind of makes sense I guess’ I said. I was thinking about Drake before I feel asleep but was my dream trying to make me see that he was there the night my mother died.

We finish breakfast and I head back to my room and gather my things for class and head out, Grammy has offered to take me to college this morning and I jump at the offer straight away. I don’t know if I could handle being in a car with Jax or Drake right now, not until I figure out why my head is so messed up for. But I do send Jax a quick message ‘Hey it’s Indy, I am getting a lift with Grammy so you won’t need to stop by and pick me up’. I pressed send and put my phone in my bag and head out.

Jax POV

My phone beep as I was gathering the last of my notes and putting them in my bag, ‘Hey it’s Indy, I am getting a lift with Grammy so you won’t need to stop by and pick me up’. Hmm I thought to myself, how strange but I could not argue as I didn’t want to make her more upset with me then she was. Yesterday was the worse, I wanted to tell her she was my mate even though she wouldn’t understand but still it would have been a weight lifted off my shoulders. I never want to see her like that again. My mission today is to find her and apologies to her and hopefully she accepts it and we can return to how we where before this like the afternoon in the coffee shop. I hear someone clearing their throat and it brings me out of my memory and I can feel the goofy grin on my face and then I see the one who clear their throat. ‘Mum’ I say.

‘Hello my beautiful boy’ she said when bringing me in for a big hug, I hug her back and we stand like that for what seems like forever. We finally break apart and she brings me to the edge of my bed and we sit. ‘So, I gather from the look on your face then you have some news for me’ she questions. ‘And by the look on your face you already know’ I comment, she knows things before they happen, sometimes it is kind of freaky.

She just nods but waits for me to say it. ‘I found my mate’ I say quickly and I can see her smiling ‘Is it how I think it is’ she replies. I nod and answer ‘It is Indiana’ she gives me the biggest smile and I can feel myself blushing all shades a pink. ‘I am glad I had it right you two will be perfect for each other, just like the moon goddess has designed for most of us. I smile knowing she knows more about what is going on then I do. All of a sudden, she looks at me

‘Jax, you have to bring to me soon. There is no time to delay I need to see her, she may be in some danger if we don’t start trying to retrieve her memories’, my mother explains. I nod ‘I will ask her to come and see you when she is free’ my mother nods and get up ‘ok, now off to school with you’ she said over her shoulder. I just smile and get up gather my bag and keys and walk out following behind her. She walks into the kitchen and I walk out the door telling her bye as I go, I can tell she waves back at me.
