When I met you

Raven “Oh my God! I can’t believe that he did that! Was I just blind and didn't want to see that he’s a jerk, kissing another woman. Not just any woman but Kassy! Seriously! I can’t believe he would ever do this. Caine I give you permission to kick his ass for me!” I yell to my brother. Ring Ring Ring. I look down at my phone and it’s Ethen eww, I declined the call and look back at Caine who’s driving and then turn my head behind me to look at his girlfriend of 4 years now, Sarah. “Do you think I’m overreacting? I know I was only dating Ethen for a short time but still.” Sarah shakes her head “No, you are not overreacting! He disrespected you no matter how long you were together. He made a commitment to you when he asked you to be his girlfriend, meaning he knew not to kiss other women especially his best friend’s girlfriend. He crossed a boundary with both people he’s supposed to care about. He showed his true colors. He is trash! Right Caine!” She yells back. Ring Ring Ring. “Oh my God is he calling again! Dude take a hint. A**hole!” I look and she’s right, he called again and I declined again. “Yes, Sarah you are right, and you have the right to feel that way.” he looks at me and then back on the road. Ring Ring Ring. Caine turns back to me “Give me the phone” he holds out his hand waiting for me to give him the phone. But I decide not to. “You don’t have to talk to him right now. It’s 12am its dark you need to be paying more attention to the road.” I say to him. Anywhere else that's not in the dark surrounded by the woods I would have let him give Ethen a piece of his mind. Ring Ring Ring. “Uhhh that’s it” I power off my phone. “What is his deal!” Ring Ring Ring. “Oh my God! Now he’s calling me. What the hell.” Sarah says. Caine turned slightly. “Give me the phone NOW! This a**hole is pissing me off” Sarah then hands him the phone and he hits answer. “Listen here Ethen leave my family alone. If Raven wanted to talk to you she would have answered. Take a f**king hint dude. You f**ked up now leave it alone.” Caine says calmly but assertive He hangs up the call. “Who knows he might turn into a stalker if he keeps calling.” he laughed. Caine passed the phone back to Sarah. “CAINE LOOK OUT!!!!!!” I screamed. He turns the wheel but somehow the car flipped over and over and over, I hit my head on something and all of a sudden there was a splash like we ended up in water. I woke up hyperventilating, still feeling the water in my lungs that was suffocating me was really happening. Then realizing that it was just a dream, that what happened to me was in the past. What a great way to wake up! It’s been a few months since that real life nightmare took over my dreams, still reeling from the car spinning and crashing into a lake. I still don't know how I survived or how or what caused us to flip over. Maybe that's why I keep dreaming about it. But what should I know I'm not a psychologist, I’m college student that is studding for a history major. My friend Rebecka says that I should talk to a therapist but what is that going to do? Take more of my money that college is doing already. No thanks, I’m good. I shake my head getting rid of the thought and I crawl out of bed to peak through the curtains to see how early it was, disappointingly it was still dark out but you could see a few cars driving by so I know that it is probably five or six in the morning. Uhh well I can’t go back to sleep, I’ll be dreaming about it all over again, absolutely not. I walk out of my room to make myself a cup of coffee, turn on my lamp and pick up my book waiting for the coffee to finish. I use to read thriller and crime genres but I can’t. Even picking up a book like that just makes me sick to my stomach. Now I stick to light contemporary romance or fantasy. Eventually eight o’clock rolls around and it’s time to get ready for class. ~~~ Walking toward the building I realize I’m running a little late so I start to jog a little but of course with my luck I accidentally bumped into someone and my bags fall, spilling out my books “Oh my god, I’m so sorry” I said not looking at the person just trying to hurry up and get to class before the lesson starts. “It’s okay” the guy says and he put a hand on my shoulder and walks away. I turned to look up but he was gone. There were lots of people around but no one near me. That was odd. I grab my last book that fell out and I start to run again. I finally sit down next to Rebecka just seconds before Mr. Petrovich starts the class. “There you are! I was starting to worry, you’re usually the first one here!” She says. “I know, it’s just been a weird day.” I replied back. I look at her and then turned back to Mr. Petrovich. “Turn to The Histories Vol.1 where we left off on page 250” Mr. Petrovich said loudly and we got to work. ~~~ “Alright class! Your homework for the weekend is a 350 or more word essay about today’s topic and if you have any questions AGAIN you can email me. Just because I am a Russian man you don’t have to be scared of me, I am a teacher I'm here to teach. Remember!” Mr. Petrovich said. My guess that there are some people failing his class, he never “yell’s”. “Oh my god I thought that was never going to end uhhh Thank God it’s over” Rebecka whispers. She then grabs my arm lightly “Let’s go get lunch and talk about the new gossip!” We start to walk to her car to go to Tatte Bakery and Café shop which is our new favorite place since the accident. We both would go to Flour Bakery plus Café to meet our siblings but now that my brother is gone and her sister is still in the hospital, we can barley walk to the doors of the coffee shop. After reminiscing of our old place we got to our new spot and pull out our computers and paperwork. “Cafe Au Lait, right?” She ask’s me “Yeah! Large please, I need the caffeine after my morning” I reply. She walks away for a few minutes and I look at my phone to kill the few minutes to check my notifications. (2 missed) Text: From Momma (1 missed) Call: From Gangster G (my grandma) (1 missed) Text: From Mara-May (Rebecka’s Mom) (20 missed) Text: From Ethen Do Not Answer I look at My mom’s missed text first. “Hey sweety good morning! I hope you have a good day” “By the way dad still wants to go on your annual camping trip even though Caine won’t be physically with you both, he will be in both of your heart’s. It will mean a lot to dad if you could still go. Text your dad your answer when you decide. Love you lot’s Honey!” She means a lot but now that Caine is gone she is more clingy then she’s ever been. I understand why so I don't ever say anything. I guess it’s a good thing that she’s all up in my business. You never know when something bad will happen. “Here you go babe, Extra large. You still having nightmares?” she asked “That was fast, thanks girly. Yeah same thing nothing new. Your mom texted me I haven't looked at it yet I was just about to. Do you know what it might be about? She never texts me.” I tell her “I don’t know. I know Sarah’s birthday is coming up but that’s not till next month. Maybe she’s just checking on you. You are family.” she says looking down at her phone so quickly look at the text. “Hey Hon I just wanted to check on you and let you know I just talked to your mom and I suggested that John could go with you and your dad on your camping trip, You can try and get Rebecka to go but I doubt it. The girl wouldn’t play outside when she was little and I know she still doesn’t dirt. Just an idea I haven’t asked John yet I’ll wait for your call. Love you hun.” I giggled thinking about Rebecka sleeping in a tent ha over her dead body is what she’ll say. “She wants your dad to tag along on the camping trip and she suggested you go to” I laugh She looks up at me “Over my dead body. Has she lost her goddamn mind.” I laugh again “But I think it’s a great idea if dad goes. He’s been a little down since, you know.” she looks down and then takes another sip I turn on my computer and I'm in my focus mode. I want to at least get half way on my essay before the end of the day. The door opens and I can hear the bell but I don’t look behind but Rebecka does “Oh My God!” her jaw drops like she just saw a celebrity. I turn my head and I see the most Drop Dead Gorgeous Man I have ever seen.
