Eve “Are you okay?” A all too familiar voice spoke behide me. Laying a gentle hand on my shoulder. I open my eyes and turn my head to see the face of the voice talking. As my eyes widen hers didn’t, she wasn’t surprise to see me at all. But i was in complete utter shock. I stood up slowing as i place a hand on the ground to level mu body to stood up until two feets. My mouth wide open, still can’t believe at the person in front of me right now. I didn’t know whom will answer my prayers, at this rite i didn’t aspect anyone to come and help me. I figure i’ll be stuck here forever. Just waiting in pain, alone, scared and cold. But she came, out of all the screams and effort i try so hard. She come to help me. “Eve, its its..” i stutter my words as i stare at my younger self in the face. “Yes it me. The old you. Will not old old. More like the past you” she answer with full confident. She wasn’t confuse are shock to see me. “How, how can this be real. I mean how am i talking nor the less seeing my younger self?” Keeping a pag look on as i try to control my stutter “You know this isn’t truly real right” raising an eyebrow at me Gezz i had so much pride and attitude back then. I walk forward as i look my self up and down. I pick my hand up and place it on to young Eve’s cheek. Thinking my hand may go through her. Like she a holly gram or something. “You feel real” spoke softly as my touch, my hand touch young Eve’s face. It didn’t go through me. I can see, hear, talk and touch young me. “It’s not intitlely real. Its all in your head. After the accident you went in a deep state. And now here we are.” Young Eve spoke “My accident?” Confuse as she explain to me “Eve this is in your head. You are just reliving all the pain you been suffering. I am here because you call.” Taking my hand away from her face “Why did it take you so long to answer me. I try so hard to get you away from him” raising my tone in a mom like way “It wasn’t the right time.” Young Eve look down to the ground “The right time! What h*** you mean right time. Was i just suppose to sit her as i watch me or you slowly get hurt over and over again!” I can feel the vein on my forehead poping out “Eve listen..” i ignore her “No! I try to save you from him and you just ignore me. You we’re suppose to be smart and your dumba** fell in love and married that narcissists cheating b******! How could you?!” Throwing my hands everywhere as rage boil through my whole body. I start to cry angry at how hurt i was. “Eve, i couldn’t do anything because it all already happen. You did all this already.” Young Eve stood there just staring at me and i just stare at her too “I was suppose to show you everything, show you how we got to where we are.” Young Eve place a hand in my arm. I guess she can touch me too. “I was only able to help you once you truly need me to. And now i am here. To tell you. That you are still you. The young old you. I am still inside of you, you just got to embrace it.” She came to help me “I was never gone, i felt everything you felt. I know the love, the pain, the sickness. All of it. This is too show you your way back to yourself. Don’t let him take anything from you. Be the bada** you use to be. I know you can.” Young Eve smile at me as she remove her hand and look away We where in a white space. Like for real everything was white. I look around us and nothing for mile and miles. Just white empty space. It was weird as i stare at my young self not faze at all of this. She was me and i have fail her. I became some kind of person i hated. And i truly do hate myself from everything that has to do with Mark. “What is all this?” I turn to face where she was look at. I don’t know what see was staring at as there i say again, there is nothing “You haven’t figure it out yet” crossing her arms “No, just tell me?” Turn my head to look at her “Its your mind. We can do or see anything you want. And at the moment you arrived. You consciences wanted to relive you past. That why you relived of it. Because you , you Eve wanted to relive it.” Not turning to speak to me, just stare at the abase “I wanted to relive my biggest mistakes, why” i was so confuse. With me just finding out about Marks affair. Why on earth would my conscience want me to see this “Because it was you were thinking of at the time. You were hurting from the truth. The pain Mark has apose on you. You were already thinking of the past and when everything went dark, You escape to your mind and it brought you here” speaking in a very soft tone. “Whats next?” I look around before asking my question. “Its up to you, we can do and see anything you want Eve” turning to look at me with a gentle smile “So what is it gonna be Eve?” I was so lost. I understood how i can talk to young me but not how i got here. What am i suppose to do now. What can i do now. I look at young Eve and stood there waiting for something to pop up. Just anything. “Can i see what my life could of been like, if i haven’t met Mark?” I don’t know what to expect. It was the first thing that came to my mind. I felt like i was floating. I just want to know if i could of had an happier life without him. “Of course we can, follow me” she took my hand as she walk me to a door that appear out of nowhere “Where did the door came from” looking around to see anything else popping up. Nope, it was just the blue door. I just follow young Eve as she guide me. We stood there in front of the door waiting. The room got silence. As if the atmosphere can get even more silence as it could be. “Go ahead Eve, i’ll be with you. Just open the door and walk through it. And you will see how life without Mark will be” Young Eve stood there, holding her hands. Speaking in a very gently clam vice. It smooth me, her tone made me feel safe. was kinder than anyone i knew. She was sweet and brave. I adore her so much, i hope i can embrace her again once i get out of here. I nod my head as inhale and exhale through my nose. I need the boost, for what awaits through the door. I turn the knob and walk through a foggy tunnel. As i walk through the tunnel i keep my eyes forward.I just kept walking until it was clear. The while time i felt my heart pumping. And i started to feel less cold now, i was feeling warmer. And my body didn’t hurt as much anymore. My body just felt tight. Then i saw me I was back in the cafeteria in high school, this was the day i met Mark. I saw how he bump into me and i just gave him a dirty a** look and roll my eyes at me. And then the next day he did it again. I watch as myself got up and walk away from the table. Mark turn to watch me walk away. As he was about to say something but i was already out the room. “He didn’t follow me?” Was shock at how he didn’t try harder to get my attention “Watch Eve” young Eve tap my shoulder and pointed ahead The scene change to show me in an gown. No it wasn’t an wedding gown, i was wearing a dark green matching gown and hat. I had a sash wrap around my neck with two cords. I walk through the stage and shake all the professors hands, the last professor hand me a degree and i walk off with joy and pride reads on my face. “I did it, i graduated college” a huge smile showed on my fave from one side to another. I couldn’t stop watching myself holding My degree “Wait that not the color of the college i went to thou?” I turn to face young Eve “When you and Mark where dating, Mark convinced you to go to the same school. He brain wash you to go to an instate school instead of out of state” Young Eve look at me with grace, trying to expose the deepest lies of Mark’s well on me “Without Mark, i went to an out of state college and i was able to graduated with honors.” I was happy for myself, i went for my dreams. I had forgotten how Mark ask me to be his wife, while i was still going to school. I had never plan to be a stay at home wife but we plan the wedding in under a year, more like just a few months. He had convince my back then to quit school and never have worry about anything. He had promised to always provide and take care of me. And i believe him back then. I believe everything he had said to me. And it was all an scam. I watch as i see a road ahead, feeling the wing blow against my skin. I close my eyes to inhale the moment. Adrenaline boosting through out my body, i feel at peace and an old feeling came rushing back to me. “Ahh i use to love this feeling, back when i …” i stop my sentences as i realize what i was feeling. I watch as i see a women drive a custom wrap purple Ducati Streetfighter down a curvy hill road. Just the sound of the bike brought true happiness back. I had miss the rush of riding my bike. It was a escape and fun at the same time. My true friends supported me riding but also worried for my life. As everyone know, riding a motorcycle is very danger. Most vehicle accident are motorcycles alone. I knew the risk i was taking when i first started riding and once you start its hard to stop really. I just always had to reassure my love one that I will be okay. Because no more how long or good you are, your never know if this my be your last ride. That why i always pray for a safe ride before heading off. “I can’t believe it, i got another one after my accident with lucy” my eyes tear up with joy As i ride through the hill i make a stop in the near by town. This place was beautiful, seeing people smiling and walking everywhere. Yet i couldn’t tell where i was. I squint my eyes trying to pay attention to my soundings. I drove through the town and park near a local bakery. I noticed as few bystanders as i ride through an park, smile and wave at me. I had assume i made a print in a town. With very nice handsome and beautiful people everywhere. I mounted my bike and toke my helmet off. Made my into the bakery shop. I wave to more people whom seem to know me. I probably come by the this bakery alot. “Buon pomeriggio, di solito con un muffin ai mirtilli, per favore” ( Good afternoon, My usually with a blueberry muffin, please.) “Wait i speak Italian?” I turn to look at young Eve who just nods her head at me As i place my order and eat my muffin before leaving. I rode to a small but beautiful neighborhood. The house there where not close by but you can still greet them when walking out the driveway. I walk in to an elegant home with vines wrap around the outside. Walk up some stairs and into an office. I look at map with very fee pins on it. I grab a book and wrote inside. (Next stop Paraguay) “ I was traveling after college. I did if, without Mark i accomplish all my dreams.” I gasp as i place my hand over my mouth. I turn to young Eve “My whole life would of been an dream if i have just walk away from Mark” young Eve nod to me “You can still have this life” by sock i hear a voice behide me. As i turn around it was me AGAIN “What do you mean, i can still have this life” rising an eyebrow at other me “Well yes you could of accomplish all of this is you haven’t had relation with Mark. But i still believe you can achieve them after Mark” other Eve spoke very husky as she walk towards us “And will i do that, i’m here. Where ever i am?” Shug my shoulders “You will find your way out of this pain and live the life you desire” gesturing with hand movements “How will I start?” Asking other Eve “Eve do you remember how you got here?”nodding my head at her “Then you know you have to wake up and go back to reality.” Giving me a look that show a bit of concern but cariness “I don’t know how, before and after the accident i felt a hint of pain, i don’t feel it here. I don’t want to go back to being hurt” a sad scaried look wash over me “Pain is only temporally, it makes us strong again. And you have us” picking my head up so i look at the both of them “ How will i see or talk to either of you again?, If i go back. Am alone.” A tear ran down to my cheek I start to feel my self warming up and feel safe. I didn’t want to leave this place. If felt like home and cozy. I wouldn’t have to deal with Mark if i just stay “Eve we have always been with you, we are you BRAIN.” As other Eve spoke i finally connected the dot to the Eve’s and i. “For once you can see me, or us and i can express thing to you in my way.” “I thought you abounded me again, when i need you the most.” Widen eyes “No Eve, i brought you here so you wouldn’t be scared out there. I want you to know that i understand everything because we are one. We go through this together. I will always be here. And out there, inside your head of course.” Letting a small chuckle out “Thank for not leaving me” smiling at both Eve’s “Eve it’s time to wake up, someone is waiting for us.” Grabbing my hand “Who?” Wondering who will be at my side when i wake up “You will see, so sweet Eve lets go, your time is up here.” Gentle smile brush her face “What do i do to wake up?” Looking at both Eve’s confuse “Lets just hug. And everything will be okay. Mark will get what he deserves. And we will find true happiness again” both Eve’s walk close to me *breathing slowly* “Okay, am ready” and we embrace each other very tightly and in a second everything was black again But this time i felt a hand on mine and a machine beeping next to me. It was very familiar felling. I felt a shock wave ran through my body starting from my hand and up. Our fingers are interlock together. And their head was slightly on against my arm. The person who awaits at my bedside starts to talk. My whole body ace in soring pain as i listen to his words. And i squeezed the person hand very softly. Letting then know, i am here and listening. “Eve, Eve, are you awake!? Open your eye’s?” I realized i have been listening to Dom talking to my body as i waken from my deep mind. I open my eyes very slowly with a deep smile. It was a bit hard to smile but as i try with the my eyes burning from the rooms light. I felt Dom amazing embrace and everything felt 100% better.
