Torn In
Between
Chapter 5:
The knock at the door surprised me the next
morning. I crawled out of bed, and Mrs. Kelly, the school nurse,
was standing there. “Come with me” she said. I nodded,
and followed her down the long hallway to nurse’s office. I
sat in a brown leathery couch, and gulped. I knew something was
wrong, and from the look on her face, I could tell she knew what it
was.
“This may take you by surprise when I
ask you this but, have you ever entered the Otherworld?” she
asked, handing me a tissue. I hadn’t even noticed I was
crying. I shook my head. The
Otherworld???
She let out a long breath, and mumbled
something under her breath. “When you were out..What did you
see?” she asked. I wiped the tissue under my eyes. I
explained to her my experience, and she nodded. “Like I said,
I think you must have a connection with the Otherworld.. What you
had was a vision. A vision of someone close to you. It wasn’t
you.. It was Peyton Kristens.” She said.
Peyton Kristens? I knew the name from somewhere.
“Peyton is one of your friends?” she asked.
“That’s where I know that name from! I went to school
with her in kindergarten. What happened to her?” I asked. She
bit her lip. I frowned. “She died last night..” she
said, sighing heavily.
“What? How?” I asked, holding
back the tears. “It’s all going to be okay! I’ve
made arrangements..You’re going to attend the funeral. That
is if you want” Mrs. Kelly said. I nodded.
“You ignored my question.. How did
she die?” I asked. “Car crash. The roads were really
icy and a big log truck…It tried to stop, but it
couldn’t. It slid, and turned completely around, and it
went through her skull” she said, almost to tears
also.
I walked back to my room, trying to do like
Mrs. Kelly had said, and forget about it. The door was already open
and the entire baseball team was inside. I felt kind of awkward.
“Hey we were just talking about the next game.. You can sit
and listen if you want” Coach Ryan said.
“It’s fine.
I’ll just go to the library or something” I lied. I
walked outside, and headed towards the ocean. The crystal blue
liquid lapped against the shore. I put my feet in the cool water.
“Hey there” said a strong, deep voice behind
me.
