Chapter 22 - Dreamland

Was that Eden, Earl pointed as she blinked rapidly and asked sluggishly as Eden ran out of the mansion, Eden, Triston called out to her before grabbing Earls hand and going after her, don't make me trip she yelled out running behind him through the crowd, just when the party was getting good, Earl murmured. She's having a panic attack, Triston said to Earl after getting outside and noticing Edens unstable breathing. Calm down Ede…, Eden enveloped Triston in a tight hug before he could pacify her, he melted into the hug taking in her scent, stroking her back in a bid to calm her down, her breathing stabilized and her heart beat went back to normal low sobs escaping her lips, she pulled away after finally calming down, Triston shocked to see the stream of tears down her face. They're real, she whispered, huh, Triston asked as he couldn't hear her over all the music.

Okay Eden, tell us why you ran out, Earl said after they got home freshened up, and gathered in the room. Before you guys say anything, I've been off my meds for like two weeks now, I'm no longer hallucinating so I know real from fake, she stood up and said, ok got it go ahead, they said in unison. They are real, oh please not this again, Earl stood up and said, if you keep this up I'm gonna have to tell mom and dad because it's just too much now, wait, Triston cut in. Look into her eyes, does she look like she's lying, Eden looks at Earl desperately nodding wanting her to believe, she was shivering the whole ride back, I see it the fear in her eyes, if all what happened to her in London when she was in a coma was a dream, then I guess we're in dreamland, he said and looked at Eden wondering why he didn't believe her sooner. Thank you for believing me Triston, I knew you were going to be the first one to do so, she hugged him tightly and said, no, I'm sorry for not believing you sooner, you went through hell, and we were just making you think you've gone crazy, he hugged her tightly. Okay, cut the shit, how do you know they're real, Earl questioned, that party we went to I knew the house looked familiar, but I just brushed it off. I told you guys that usually when I remember what happened it's blurry and I don't remember names, places, and sometimes faces clearly, but, when I went upstairs and saw Eden and Louise everything came rushing back as clear as day, it was definitely them and that was definitely Edens house. Wait a minute you me white Eden whose body you were in and your..I mean her boyfriend Louise, Earl asked in a flimsy tone, yes Earl I know it's hard to believe but I know what I saw, and now I think we're in trouble, what do you mean in trouble, Triston asked.

I knew the name of our school sounded familiar, Eden King and Eve Jewels, the school is a collaboration of their parents and seeing that she hosted the party their definitely going to that school. But there's now way for her to recognize you, so if we just stay focused and away from them we can stay safe, right, Triston asked. I don't plan on doing that, if all I'm remembering is true then they are terrible people, they ruled over high school which wasn't even theirs, then just imagine what they can do in the uni that's co-owned by their parents, I have to expose them one way or the other so no one else gets hurt, Eden said determined, not you, we, Triston put his hand out with a smile. Eden put her hand on his then they both turned to look at Earl who had her arms crossed, Okay fine I believe you, you're not crazy she rolled her eyes with a cute smile before putting her hand in, go Kirks on three, one, two, three, go kirks, they yelled with their arms up, before a group hug.

This big house is gonna be so empty with the three of you gone, Enid sobbed, don't worry mom, we're just three hours away, and we'll come back every weekend, okay?, said Eden, and we're not Even home much because of work, so it's fine, Thomas said. Family hug, Enid said still in tears as she hugged them tightly, bye mom, bye dad. Wow this school is huge, Earl exclaimed look at all those buildings, she pointed and spun around, stop that you'll get dizzy, Eden held her in place. Bye guys I'll go check out my hostel, you guys should too, Triston said and left. What, just the two of us in a room, must be scholarship privilege, I call the bed by the window, Earl plopped on the bed, before Eden could reply and started making snow Angels, sure, she replied with a smile. I got invited to a room party, wanna come, Earl sat up and asked, how are you even getting invited to parties, how do you know people, we haven't even started class yet, you know me I have my ways, so are you coming, no I'm fine. Eden felt Earl staring at her, really I'm fine, please go enjoy yourself. Eden was reading a book when Earl came back in, how was it, oh it was good, oh yh, on my way there, I saw someone who looked exactly like me in a car, she was probably rich, same hairstyle glasses and splitting resemblance, I almost thought it was you. What did you say, Eden asked taken aback, keeping the book aside, I said I thought it was you, but that's not possible. Do you remember how I said you were in my dream, yh sure, Eve, Edens best friend Eve, she looks exactly like us, she wears glasses and has short hair just like you, Earl let out a loud gasp. So those people are actually real, I already said that, I knew you didn't believe me, I know they don't know us, but we should try our best to avoid them, they might be fascinated by our striking resemblance with Eve and try to do something shady. Eden yawned and stretched, let's go to sleep, we'll talk about this tomorrow, she said before laying down.
