This Gift I Was Given (The Boys That Lives In My House)

Chapter 67

I sit at the local coffee shop, and sip my iced coffee.

That guy Jared walks in and we make eye contact, he walks over to me "why haven't you been answering my calls?" He asks as he reaches my table

He did call me but I didn't understand why so I didn't answer "sorry been busy" is all I say hoping he goes away

He sits down "did you want to see him again?" He whispers

"Who?" I whisper back

"Felix?" He says

"He's at his uncles" I tell him kinda getting freaked out

He stares at me and it's like he thinks I'm kidding "are you okay?"

"Yeah are you?" I ask back

His eyebrows scrunch up together like he's confused or something "I thought you wanted to help Felix?"

"I barely even know the kid" I say about to get up

"Barely even know the kid?" He repeats then asks "does anyone know about you seeing Felix?"

"Listen I'm going to ask you to leave " I ask him getting tired of him

"Oh no" he whispers "I'll go" he nods "but remember this Jess. Your a fighter so fight" he says and gets up

That was weird.

I don't understand why everyone being so weird lately.

As I walking home I can't help but look over at the cemetery for some reason, I almost feel this pull to go in but that's really weird.

As I walk inside my house I see aunt Lora on the couch and next to her is tom.

"Hey" I say as I walk inside

"There you are" aunt Lora smiles

"Hey kiddo" tom smiles at me

"I'm not interrupting anything am I?" I ask and try not to laugh

"No I just came over to see how the two of you were doing" tom says

"That's nice" I smile at him

I feel like he's almost studing me for some reason "well I'll be next door"

"Bye" me and Lora day at the same time as he leaves

As I lay in bed I can't help but keep thinking I'm forgetting something, I don't know what though.

I can't help but look over at the neighbors window from time to time.

I don't feel right, I don't feel like myself which is odd.

I don't think about it too much and I feel my eyes getting heavy until I'm asleep.

I open my eyes and see I'm outside on a porch, I look down and see I'm wearing a white dress.

I open the front door and walk inside, the house seems familiar but I don't know how.

There's nothing here, no furniture just cobwebs and a big red stain on the floor.

I walk up the creaky stairs and walk pass a couple of door. I open this door for some reason and walk inside. There's nothing in here either, I walk over to the window and look out side.

As I'm looking out the window at nothing I hear something almost like a creak from downstairs, I leave the bedroom and follow the noise until I'm standing in front of a basement door.
