Answers to almost everything

“How are you feeling?” Taine asked as I stumbled on the way to the couch.

“Funny, I think I’m tipsy.” I laughed.

“Give me that!" He exclaimed as I was about to take another sip.

“That’s mine!”

“Jane listen.” He stated seriously and asked, “Remember that time I told you we need to talk.”

“Yeah, but we got busy.” I smiled as I pulled on his shirt.

“It’s about Sebastian.” He stated and all the happiness drained from me.

“What about him?” I snapped as I got up and walked over to the window.

“I’ve been noticing some weird things about him…” He began, waiting for me to defend Sebastian but I just kept quiet and let him continue.

“I know you won’t believe me.” He added, “Sebastian is not normal. What I mean is he doesn’t seem to know how society works, like he used to follow you around at school and he’s constantly watching you. Maybe he’s madly in love with I don’t know but he seems obsessed.”

I laughed and Taine blushed embarrassed.

“I heard that the police were looking for him and they searched your apartment for evidence. Is he on the run? He keeps disappearing and he doesn’t seem to talk to anyone besides you and occasionally Rocksyn. I followed him home one night and he just drove around the block, parked his car again in front of your apartment and stayed there. What was even creepier is that he got out of the car clean and dressed in different clothes! I swear he didn’t stop anywhere to shower or even change.”

“You were following him?!” I asked shocked.

“Yes, I even tried to follow him that time before Valentines but I lost him in the traffic. Which is not the point…”

“You weren’t even talking to me then but you decided to follow around my friend!” I shouted.

“I didn’t know how to approach you. You haven't been with anyone since you broke up with me in grade 8… and for 4 years I was okay with not being with you. But then he showed up and seeing him with you made me realise that I was still in love with you.”

“In love with me? You f*****g told everyone that you would never be with me and that you were just playing around. That’s f****d up Taine cause I was the one who loved you.”

“I was a stupid boy. I was just scared of actually developing true feelings for someone.”

“Whatever that’s in the past.” I shrugged.

“Back to Sebastian. He seems creepy and I don’t like it. He might be mentally insane or an axe murderer, I won’t let anything happen to you.”

“It’s cute that you care but you can’t decide who I can or can’t see.”

“You can’t you be friends with him.” He stated.

“Don’t be silly Taine.” I laughed.

“Jane I forbid you from seeing Sebastian.” He yelled.

“I don’t need this right now.” I rolled my eyes as I got up, grabbed my phone and walked out.

“Jane wait…” I heard Taine call as I walked across the street.

Sebastian lies to me and now Taine wants to rule my life. Urgh! Stupid boys.

I have to walk home and it's getting late. Taine lives so f*****g far away from my neighbourhood. Maybe I should phone Aunt Lydia? No, she’ll ask too many questions. Rocksyn! Yes of course. I dialled Rocksyns number but no answer.

I was about to dial again when Taine’s car drove slowly next to me.

“Jane I’m sorry.” He shouted.

“That’s nice,” I stated as I carried on walking.

“Please let me give you a lift home.”

“No.”

“You can’t walk, it’s too far!”

“Taine, go away,” I begged.

“I’m sorry ok!”

“Rocksyn is on her way to fetch me.” I lied.

“Oh well, can I wait with you until she comes?”

I stopped and turned to face the car, “f**k off.” I remarked then continued walking. The car then drove off in a hurry and I happily returned to watching the ground.

In the corner of my eye, I saw the car slow down next to me again. Oh My Soul, doesn’t this boy understand English.

“Leave me alone!” I shouted and turned to see Sebastian in his car.

“Jane get in.” He ordered so I ignored him.

“No, I’m happy with walking and…” I began as I felt a pair of arms pick me up and threw me over his shoulder.

“Sebastian put me down!” I screamed and hit his back.

“You’ve dehydrating, drink that water.” He stated as he threw me into the back seat. I looked over at him shocked as he closed the door, ran around and jumped into the front. I looked over at the water frustrated and took a sip as he drove off.

“I’m cross with you.” I giggled as I took another sip of the water. I swayed as my eyes started to feel heavy.

“What did you put in this water?” I mumbled as I grabbed the door and tried to open it. Locked.

I fell down onto my arms as my whole body became weak.

Everything is going to be just fine. Sebastian said telepathically as the bottle fell from my hand and I fell asleep.

***

I woke up in a wooden type of room with closed grey curtains and two old-looking chairs facing a small television. I sat up in the bed and pulled the blankets away to find myself dressed in a white dress and white underwear.

“Good you awake. How are you feeling?” Sebastian asked as he pulled a chair over to the bed.

“How long have I been out?” I asked as I grabbed the water next to the bed and downed it.

“About 2 days.” He shrugged.

I jumped off the bed and ran over to the window, “Where am I?”

“In a room at the hotel.”

“You drugged me!” I yelled as he walked over to me.

“You wouldn’t come if I asked you to.” He smiled and I stepped forward to slap him. He caught my wrist and held it firmly against the wall.

“Sebastian, what do you want?” I asked panicking.

“I want you, but this is what you want.” He explained as if it made perfect sense.

“What do I want?” I pressed. Keep him talking; it might give me a chance to escape.

“Answers.” He simply replied as he stepped away from me and backed off.

“Are you sure? I could want something more desirable.” I laughed nervously as I spotted a key next to the light switch.

“Care to demonstrate?” He smirked.

“We could always have a little fun,” I added biting my lip and lifted my dress a bit. He walked over to me and pulled me closer to him. I pushed against his chest for him to let me go and stepped closer to him so that we were only centimetres apart then whispered, “But we have to play by my rules.” I then took his hands and placed them behind his back and pushed him into the bathroom.

“Strip,” I demanded as I put on the shower. I turned around to watch him take off his shirt.

“Stop.” I snapped as he was about to unbutton his pants, he put his hands into the air and I told him to get into the shower.

As he did that I bolted for the door and locked it behind me. “JANE WAIT!” He shouted as he banged on the door. I grabbed the keys and ran out of the room, I ran down a pair of stairs and out of a door near an office, people stared at me as if I was a crazy person as I ran passed them. I looked back to see if Sebastian was following me as I ran into someone.

“Is everything alright?” The man asked as I pulled him behind me.

“Where am I?” I questioned as I looked around at my unfamiliar surroundings.

“Jane!” I heard Sebastian shout in a distance. I sprinted across the street and ran across an empty parking lot. My feet burned against the hot cement but I kept running and hid away in a crowd of people walking on the beach. I then ran onto the pier and stopped near the edge to catch my breath. Better safe than sorry, I gasped for air as I bent over and watched the waves crash against a rock.

My scar started stinging as I looked over to it and saw it was cut open in the centre, a yellowish like fluid started to pour out and my legs became weak. s**t, I was drugged. My head was throbbing and my eyes started burning, I lay down for a few minutes until I felt right and heard footsteps approach.

“Jane are you still alive?” Sebastian pleaded and he bent over and placed his hand over my heart.

“Yes stupid why would I die?” I muttered as I tried to sit up.

“Thank goodness it worked!” He cheered and pulled me into a hug. He was back to being the Sebastian I cared for and felt safe around.

“What do you mean ‘it worked’?” I asked confused as he helped me stand up.

“Hemid stay where you are!” An officer shouted as he walked over to us with his g*n aimed at Sebastian. Two cops were behind him as they moved in on us.

“Jane, do you trust me?” Sebastian asked as he made me look at him. The cops were halfway across the pier.

After all the secrets and mysteries, I still did trust him so I put my fear aside and nodded yes. He sighed a breath of relief as he bent down and kissed me.

Suddenly Sebastian picked me up into his arms and jumped off the pier into the water below as a gunshot went off.

My scream was silenced by the water as we dropped into the cold ocean water; I was pushed aside as a wave crashed into us but somehow Sebastian held my hand firmly as we sank to the bottom. Oh s**t, he’s dead and now I’m going to drown with him! I yanked on this hand but the grip was too strong, I felt my lunges start to give in as I panicked. I was going to die all over again.

“Breathe Jane.” I heard Sebastian whine as I saw blood flow upwards.

“I can’t breathe! I’m not a fish.” I screamed and water entered my mouth. Oh s**t.

“Don’t swallow the water, Jane,” Sebastian exclaimed as we reached the bottom. I took a deep breath and surprisingly I was still alive. I freaked out as a school of fish swam passed me, I turned around and looked at the column of the pier covered in muscles.

“Great I’m dead.” I laughed as I danced in the water, “Now I’m dreaming until they decide where my soul should go.” I added as a crab ran away. Why didn't I feel the suffocation this time?

“You’re neither dead nor dreaming.” Sebastian laughed as he took my hand and started walking forward. The temperature down here was warmish at least.

“Oh, so we just magically started breathing, talking even underwater?” I asked. Why did I have to be stuck with him and why underwater! My mind could have at least been a bit more creative with this dream.

“No the serum I injected you with has given you the ability to breathe underwater, in empty space and in Dolhq atmosphere.” He replied.

“OMW so I can breathe underwater now! That’s so awesome.” I sarcastically cheered.

“It only lasts two Dolhq months then it will wear off.”

“Right and let me guess you are a secret spy or a mad scientist that just somehow got hold of this serum that doesn’t exist.”

“Shit.” Sebastian gasped as he bent over and more blood circled around us. Oh damn, I guess in this dream he can’t just magically heal himself. I quickly grabbed sea sand and tired mixing it into mud, which didn’t work so I broke off some seaweed and wrapped it around his wound. He laughed as the seaweed fell off and floated away.

No don’t bleed out, I can’t be alone in this dream or what if sharks come and eat me! I quickly pulled my dress over my head and wrapped it tightly around Sebastian. At least it will help stop the bleeding.

“At least if I die I got to see the woman I love in only underwear.” He laughed.

I smiled and wished that what he meant was true and not a dream. I looked into the distance as I saw a metal like looking machine standing on the sand.

“Finally my transporter!” Sebastian beamed and he pushed a button on his watch. The machine disappeared and reappeared then moved forward towards us.

“What is that?” I asked confused.

“Every alien needs a ship.” He laughed.

“You’re an alien!?” I yelled shocked. My dream just got weirder.

“Dolhq to be exact. I’m kind of in-between.”

“This isn’t a dream is it?” I asked as something slippery swam between my legs. I felt a shock travelled through my body before everything went black…
