I watched as they went off to California, and not only just for their lovers vacation but also so CJ Detweiler could check out where he wants to become an actor. You know for a couple of smart kids they sure don’t like to follow through with professions that require them to use their extensive knowledge. What a waste! If I had their brains I’d become a neurosurgeon or something. But hey you still make a lot of money in both the fashion and entertainment industry; but of course there still both incredible hard.

As Reenee and I were planning on what to do tonight on our drive in her car, I interrupted to tell her about D….or should i say Damian.

“Seriously he said that.”

“Yeah. It was almost perfect. It’s like fate wanted us to be together so they made it happen.”

We both shrieked in excitement like how teenaged girls do on TV.

“Man I could see it now. 10 years from now you and Damian vacationing in a foreign country, watching your 4 kids run around enjoying the sites.” Reenee fantasized.

“Yeah I could– wait 4? 4 kids are you crazy? That’s like a suicide mission. Maybe two or two in a half.” I snapped back.

“Hold up, how do you get a half child.”

“Twins!”

“Twins?”

“Yeah they don’t count as two separate babies, one in a half.”

“I don’t know where you get your math Ammy.”

We both laughed.

Reenee drove me home and said she’d come over when she was done getting ready. I told her about the party at the club that Damian invited me too. Reenee at first had her doubts because neither of us were old enough or even close enough to be believable as 21. I mean it’s only been a week since we graduated from high school, I’m sure we still look like high school students.

But Reenee did raise a point, how the heck were we suppose to get in? We don’t even have fake ID’s. Well we used to, but we had to scrap them because the school caught on to the student scam trade. I don’t know, maybe we could rely on our looks and flirt with the bouncer. We’ve done that before but it only actually worked like twice.

Before I started to get ready I hopped in my bed to rest and to just think. I was pretty physically exhausted from playing in the park all day and my mind was still swirling with questions about this S.W.I.F.T business. Something bites.

I soon found myself drifting off to sleep, dreaming about my dad. I missed him so much. He’d know exactly what to do in a time like this…..well maybe not but he’d have some good advice though.

My daddy and I were home alone playing together. I was 12 again and I could even remember the way the house looked when he was alive. All his things everywhere all tossed about. Daddy was really messy and I could remember how mommy used to always throw a pillow at his head which meant to clean up his mess. Onyx, Topez and I always made fun of him because of that; saying how he may be the boss of us mommy is the boss of him.

I could see daddy pulling me on his back playing horsey. I loved that game. Sometimes he’d even race me and of course I always won. I used to want to be a cowgirl so I could just ride a horse everyday and be an outlaw or capture bad guys; whichever came first. I was definitely a daddy’s girls. When mommy got mad at me I would go cry to daddy, they were usually fake tears but I’m sure he knew that, but he always made me feel better anyways. Daddy was the fun parent and mommy was the responsible one. Mommy always had to have everything be on time and on schedule, daddy was spontaneous and indecisive. Mommy loved and hated it.

In my dream, it was like I was watching a little family movie of all the times me and daddy spent together. I absolutely loved it. I started to remember everything we ever did together. We always had fun and rarely disagreed. I guess I might have had this special bond with my father because we both stuttered. We were the only two in the family. His was always worse than mine but it was ok because we could both comfortable speak to each other and not have to worry if someone was gonna make fun of us.

Then my dream changed right when things were getting good. My dad started shouting my name.

“Amethyst! Amethyst! Amethyst! Amethyst!” I started to get scared; it was like he was screaming actually. Like were so far away or something and he thinks I can’t hear.

“Amethyst! Amethyst!” We were in a white room except I couldn’t tell if they were walls. Everything around us was just white.

“Daddy I’m right here. I’m right in front of you. Look down.” I shouted to him as loud as I could but he couldn’t hear me for some reason even though I was literally right in front of him.

He walked away from me still screaming my name. His eyes then turned blank like he was frightened with fear. I realized my body changed back from a little girl to who I am now. The whole room changed too. We were now on the side walk in front of the car. I turned and looked up to see what he was looking at and that’s when I saw myself. The 12 year old me again; I was crossing the street looking happy but daddy was scared and so was I now.

“AMETHYST!”

“Ahhhh!” I woke up panting like crazy. I was sweating a little and frantically looking around the room.

I fell back on my pillow and thought about my dream. This is actually one of my few reoccurring dreams. This one is usually violent but over the years it has gotten increasingly calmer. I used to see blood in this type of dream. Although this reoccurring dream slightly changes each time. After the first few months I’ve been able to wake myself up before the really bad stuff started to happen. It used to be real scary but with my mom’s help I’ve been able to handle it.

I looked at the clock and realized an hour has gone by. I decide to get into the shower then pick out a dress for tonight because I’m not even sure when Damian will call.


Chapter 9: I Remember You! (Friday Night)

Damian finally called me when I was in the shower so I texted him back in response to his voice message. Reenee was already at my house talking to my mom and sister downstairs. My brother was sleeping over a friend’s house.

I was putting on my lip gloss when Damian called me to say he was here to pick me and Reenee up. Actually I’m kind of shock he actually takes the time to call, most people especially people who just met someone new rather text. I guess he’s still stuck in the past. Haha!

“Bye mom.”

“Bye Mrs. Fields.”

“Amethyst wait a minute!”

“Ugh what mom?”

“Er hem.”

Grrrr. “Muah. Love you too. Can I go?” I hugged her goodbye and so did Reenee.

“Be safe and don’t give in to peer pressure.” Topez added as I slammed the door shut as quickly as possible. My sister is so weird sometimes; she talked in a monotone type voice like she just did.

We saw Damian and his friend Shaynen standing outside. Damian was leaning against the driver side of his car and Shaynen was sitting on the head part of the front row passenger seat.

“Wow! You ladies look amazing.” Damian said with the most cutest smile.

Ahhh!

His compliment made me blush but not Reenee she was too powerful against the charms of men.

“Thanks!” I said.

“Thanks I know we look absolutely breathtaking.” Reenee said feeling strong and flipping her hair brilliantly. That’s Reenee all right; always have to make a bold statement.

“Someone’s a little confidant……or a diva.” Shaynen stated.

“Well you know what they say.”

“No I don’t. What do they say?”

“A diva’s confidence is only measured by the dedication of her fans.”

“Oh. Well looks like you just got one more.”

Shaynen and Reenee went back and forth with their witty banter. It’s just like Reenee to demand more followers.

We got in the car and drove off with the boys.

“So Damian what club are we going to.”

“Sinners.”

“Sinners!” Reenee and I both spit that word out with surprise. Sinner’s was the absolute hottest club in Calvoon City. Anyone who’s anyone goes there. Even celebrities who drive through our town are known for stopping by there. I looked at Reenee and she looked at me because we both knew there was no absolute way that we were gonna get in that club. Both our eyes met and said we should tell these guys were only 17/18 years old. But we were worried that they’d tell us to get lost then.

“You guys have been there before?” Damian asked.

I began. “Uh actually were - ”

“We’ve been there many times. Were actually regulars, the bouncer even knows us by name.” Reenee lied interrupting me so I elbowed her.

Damn it Reenee why would you say that. We don’t even have fake ID’s to continue with this lie. What are these guys going to say when we get there and the bouncer turns us away? Gosh Reenee you never think these things through.

“Oh by name? That’s convenient because were not 21.”

“You’re not?” I asked.

“21?” Reenee added.

“Nah were just 20.” Damian stated.

“Yeah, how old are you two?” Shaynen asked us.

Reenee looked at asking me with her eyes so how old are we?

I knew were in a bind. If I lied and said 21 we might get caught when we get to Sinners. But if I tell the truth they might dump us on the side of the road. I knew what I had to do.

“Old enough!” Reenee gave me a looked that said that’s the best you got. I shrugged a yeah.

“Haha cute. You two ladies sure are interesting.” Damian said looking directly at me in the mirror and I looked at him. I couldn’t help but blush.

As we were still driving to the other side of town the four of us keep up our witty direct indirect flirting. I wasn’t quiet but I couldn’t help blushing the whole time. And as for Reenee, I was starting to notice her wall crumbling down. The wall she puts up around guys she likes or is interesting in so she won’t ever be the one who wants the other more. She plays this stand offish game where she flirts then acts cold. Plays the cute and innocent card then wild and dangerous, so the guy would be so interested and confused all at the same time, he won’t be able to figure her out. She definitely knows how to play the field. But this guy Shaynen was definitely her match. Like I said before he talked, looked and acted like a rebellious prince. Weird but cute! He knew exactly who to say.

“So were here ladies.” Damian announced.

Shaynen flipped out the
