Chapter Six

Janelle didn’t hear from Jake for almost two weeks.

Some part of her was surprised although she didn’t know why. She thought that he would have wanted to talk to her at some point after their last conversation. Things had been going so well until the very end. It somehow felt like her fault but she wasn’t sure why.

Life fell back into its monotonous pace. Working, Cheryl announcing that she was moving to the city, helping her pack, the holidays creeping up. At night, Janelle would research legends of St. Neuri, trying to learn more about the place she lived her whole life in.

But she couldn’t stop thinking about Jake. She wanted to talk to him again, to be around him. For the first time in her life, someone knew all about her. They knew about her visions. And now they just weren’t around.

She didn’t feel comfortable going back to his house and seeing if he would talk to her. Somehow, Janelle knew he was avoiding her.

That left her on her own. With Cheryl getting ready to move, Janelle felt lonely. It hit her just how alone she was due to her visions. She kept people away, had secrets that lay buried underneath her surface. Now that someone knew her secrets, it put just how alone she was into perspective.

“Can’t believe you’re moving already.” Janelle said after work as she helped Cheryl move a box into her car.

Cheryl closed the trunk and smiled. “Yeah, right after Christmas. I know it is fast. But it’ll be worth it, I think. A nice change of pace.”

Janelle had been mostly silent on her friend moving away because she hadn’t wanted to make it all about her. She wanted Cheryl to be happy, not worrying about someone else adjusting to her move.

But her strength faltered a little as she remarked, “I’m gonna miss you.”

Cheryl looked surprised at this. “Really? No offense, J, but you have seemed to be totally checked out recently. You’re a walking space cadet. I didn’t think you would care too much.”

The guilt ate at her. Janelle knew that she could be a better friend but her need to keep secrets left a gap in between Cheryl and herself.

“I guess I have been pretty bad lately, huh?” She replied. “I’m sorry. I want to be better. Life just feels…out of sorts lately.”

“Hey, I get it. I just wish…I don’t know.” Cheryl chewed on her bottom lip. “Sometimes I get the feeling that even though I know you, I don’t actually at all. You keep to yourself. But listen, I get it. Everyone has their own life shit going on.” She pulled her car keys from her purse, signaling the end of the conversation.

Janelle wished she could say more, explain exactly what was going on. But Cheryl wouldn’t believe her. The only reason Jake did was because he also lived in that world.

“I’ll see you tomorrow.” Cheryl said with a wave.

Janelle stood alone in the parking lot, watching the car leave. Snow flurries had begun to fall, dropping the temperature even more.
