CHAPTER SIX!(:
~*~*~*~*~
“The ‘lost daughter’ what a load of crap” the boy she’d met yesterday raced in front of her. “Hey! Wait!” Scarlet yelled, rushing after him. turned towards her. “Yes?” “Spencer, right?” she asked. “Uh, yeah” he nodded. “That’s not your name…is it?” she stated. “You lied.” “Took you long enough to figure it out” he shoved his hands in his pockets and gave a ghost of a smile. “Who are you looking for?” she looked around. He shrugged. “I’m not looking for anyone” “I heard you muttering to yourself, I wasn’t surprised that you had a daughter but you’re only 18—” she started. “Okay, okay,” he interrupted. “First of all, I said ‘the’ not ‘my’ and I’m only 16.” “I’m still not surprised that you have a daughter, even if you’re only 16—” she said. “You’re not surprised? Should I be offended?” he kept looking down at her. “No, never mind” she shook her head. “Who are you talking to?” John came up behind her. “I’m talking to him” Scarlet pointed to the boy. “There’s no one there, c’mon let me buy you some food or something…” he took her wrist. “But John, he’s right the—” she turned to point at him again; but he was gone. “Are you alright, Aggie?” John asked once they’d stopped at Burger King. “Yes Johnny, I’m perfectly fine” she nodded. “But Aggie—” he started. “I’m not crazy” she interrupted. “I never said you were, but I worry just like everyone else” he explained. “Why? It’s not like I’m 4 years old anymore. John, I’m 16.” | “You’re 15 till the 29th” he said.
“The 29th of February is, like, 2 weeks away! Close enough!” she argued. “Leap year baby, huh?” the stranger reappeared at the table next to them. “I was born on a leap year, yes” Scarlet answered, turning to face him. “Who are you talking to?” John asked again. “Him” she pointed at the boy, but all John saw was an empty seat. “You’re trying to tell me your imaginary friend, Lucas, still talks to you?” he said with a sigh. “No, no, no…I’m not trying to tell you that.” She shook her head. “He can’t see me, can he?” the boy asked. “Obviously not” she groaned. “Obviously not, what?” John looked around. “She’s talking to me” the boy said, leaning back in his chair. “When did you get there?” John asked. “Just now” he lied. “You did not! You’ve been there the whole time!” Scarlet protested. “No he hasn’t, you need to go to bed earlier tonight or something…” John rubbed his temples with his forefingers. “But Johnny—” she started. “No buts” John said, sounding even more exhausted than he looked. “You’re her older brother?” the boy asked. “Nah,” Johnny shook his head. “She’s my best friend” “But you let him tell you when your bed time is?” “Yes, of course I do,” she laced her hands together. “He’s older” “Well, I think I’ve got what I need, see you around maybe” the guy just got up, and left. |
