Chapter Eighteen
"First stop is Abigail's
room. She's a sweetheart, I'll go in, and then I'll
introduce you, so hold on a sec," he said, walking inside the
door, and closing it behind him. I looked around the deserted
hallway, the nurse's desk on this floor was down the hall. My
breath started to quicken and I felt butterflies in my chest. I
felt my pockets for my phone, to distract myself, but I kicked
myself when I remembered I had left it in the car. What was taking
Jesse so long? I should have told him I wasn't going in, this
wasn't my thing. Now I'm left here having a panic attack
over a empty hallway.
I leaned against the wall, trying to let my mind wander. But of
course what came up was what if there were ghosts in this hallway
that I couldn't see. I suddenly felt colder, and I hugged my
cardigan closer to my body. Wait...isn't that a sign of a
ghost? The tempature suddenly dropping?! Ohmygod, I'm going to
get possessed and become all psycho and then I'm going to have
to get an exorcism and...
"Hey, you can...are you okay?" Jesse asked, poking his
head through the crack in the door.
"Yeah, just a little cold." I said, trying to act
normal.
"Well you're standing under an aircondition vent," he
said, and I looked up, and he was right. So I wasn't being
possessed.
I laughed, trying to play it off cool," Oh right, that would
be why I'm cold," he must think I'm a basket case,
whatever I don't care. I followed Jesse in, to see an elderly
woman sitting in a chair by the window. "Hi Abigail," I
said, sitting down across from her. "I'm Olivia," I
held out my hand as a peace offering of sorts.
She took my hand and patted it gently. "Olivia, that's a
nice name. How are you dear?"
"I'm good, how are you?" I said, wondering why she
was still holding my hand.
"Oh I'm fine, just fine." She said closing her eyes,
my hand wrapped tightly in hers. I looked at Jesse, wondering what
was going on. He was removing dead flowers from vase and putting
new ones in. "I can tell you don't like it here, lots of
nervous energy." She said suddenly, "And you've had a
lot of pent up emotions lately. You need to let those out."
Her face wrinkled in deep thought before she smiled and opened her
eyes. "You're on the right track Olivia, keep faith in
yourself." She finally let go of my hand and sat back.
"Um...thank you?" I stammered, not knowing how to
reply.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, Abigail is a psychic. She
reads your energy. Ready to go?" Jesse said, walking over to
the window where we sat.
"So soon?" She said, disappointment on her face. "I
really like the company." The old woman looked at Jesse
sadly.
"Sorry Abby, we have to go now, but we will be back on
Saturday for a longer visit," she smiled at that, and thanking
her for her impromptu reading, we left.
That was an interesting chapter! Feedback? Sorry about the
delay, my mum shut the wifi off until I finished my summer reading
-.- I have to work tomorrow during the day, but another chapter
tomorrow night?
