Stranger in the Rain: A New Place
Before I do the next chapter in The adventures of Jet, I wanted to do this. It's a little unsettling and dark and I'm sorry about that. Also a Warning, it contains violence.
Stranger in The Rain:
A New Place
By Jet D. Wolf
Dear Journal,
** YAY!!!! Doctor Jay says I do not need any more therapy sessions. He says that I am the best patient he has ever had. He let me keep you though, he says I can write in here if I ever feel like I have to express my emotions about my parents' death. I don't think I will need you anymore though; I haven't had a nightmare about my parents in a week. And the court granted me my appeal to live alone, thanks to Doctor Jay. I am moving out tomorrow. I already got a place in mind, he said I'm well enough to go home. The only thing that sucks is that the jur the court is only giving me a certain amount a month, so that I don't spend it all at once. Well, I will write later, I am in the car, Doctor Jay drove me to Mr. and Mrs. Kell's house.**
Write to you later,
Trace
Hey Journal!
_ I can't believe I found you underneath all my old stuff. So much has happened since I moved out and I'm doing good on my own. I was just writing in this before I leave for a party. Now that I think about it, I should have dated my journals. Oh well! Hopefully I can write later and record all that's happened._
See you later,
Trace
Oh my God journal!!
_ This has been the happiest 2 weeks of my life. I haven't been this genuinely happy in a while. I met a guy. Heh, yeah, who would've guessed I was gay? Or maybe I'm Bi? I still haven't figured it out yet. But anyway, his name is Jake from another dimension!! I think I'm in love with him, he is the only thing that I've truly loved ever since my parents' death. Right now he is parading around naked. Oh, now he is looking over my shoulder trying to read what I'm writing. Heh, I can tell he's horny, his erection is hard on my back. Heh, now I'm glad I got a stool and not a chair. I will be right back, I'm going to have some fun with this tiger. Ok, I'm back, sorry for having you wait so long, he is an extremely horny tiger. I should probably write some more because my last entry was from 3 months ago. I will talk to you later, Jake is trying to read what I'm writing again. He is so nosy. He is really curious about my world. He had me rewrite that. Heehee, ok Talk to you later._

OMG, I hate him! He LIED to me about almost everything, or maybe he did lie about everything!! I DON'T CARE! His brother or whoever he was just proved that everything I knew about him...was a LIE!! He was a selfish jerk!! And I was his stupid pawn in his little game. I hate having saved him that day! This is just like with my parents! I'm sorry journal but I
Hello Journal,
** Don't worry, I am feeling much better. I am seeing a therapist again. I wish it was Doctor Jay, but he passed away. My new therapist says I should write down my emotions again. So I decided to use you journal, on the side at least. It's been 2 weeks since he left. My room is a mess from that night and I need to do more shopping because my food spoiled and such. I lost a lot of things, I almost burned you journal. The court is thinking about revoking my freedom to live alone, so I've been going to therapy. In all honesty, he was like my parents. They lied about everything and so did he. But when he hurt me, it was different from when I found out about my parents. It hurt me harder. I am hoping these journals help because I've been having nightmares again about my parents and him. Every time I come home, I can sense him there, welcoming me home, and I wonder what I would do if he did come back. Would I want to hug him or hit him. I guess I still miss him. Am I wrong for feeling this way? I know this makes me sound crazy but I wish for him to come back, so I can at least know why he hurt me so bad. Well, I discussed everything. Hopefully, I get to write in you again, because my therapist didn't even want me writing in this journal since it is already halfway full and he wanted me to start clean. I just wanted to write in you one more time.**
Sincerely,
Trace
Journal,
** The court said I can live alone again. I am writing in here as a celebration. I am feeling so much better and I actually talked to my old friends. I gained back some pounds. Oh wait, I didn't tell you that. Well, last time I wrote in here, I was severely underweight. I had starved myself after he left. A lot of things happened while I was shut out from the world. My friends were talking about all this stuff I hadn't even heard of. I really need to reconnect again. I haven't had any nightmares in a week. So far, it's been 2 months since he left. I've been getting along pretty well. I don't miss him at all...Actually that a lie. If I see him again, I would kiss him and then probably hit him right in the nuts. I'm evil like that. Heehee, I'm just kidding. But I've been somewhat happy even if it isn't as happy as I was with him. Well, I should probably get going, I have to go to the store. When I come back, I promise I will write in you again. Heh, it won't be long, it's just down to the store and back, nothing should happen in that time. I might make an hour trip. Well, Write to ya later.**
See you in a few,
Trace
I'm sorry, and I will make it up to you.

Walking home, the sun makes blind me to what's ahead. The trees gently whisper voices to the wind. Life continued normally but every time I come home, I sense him, in the halls, by the door. The silence does nothing to help me forget him either, for it still sounds like his silence. I know that he hurt me and that he lied to me, but still I miss him. I like have to go outside so that at least the birds and sounds of nature can help me feel better. Finally, I make it home. I take out my headphones and put them in my ear as I open the door. I look down at the screen on my music player and pick some slow song. I have been in love with slow songs recently. I take a step inside and look up and drop my mp3 player.
I can see him on the couch. This must be a dream, I think as I take a step backwards. Words that came from his mouth I did not expect. Even though I had music playing in my ears, I can hear the words clearly as clear as day.
"Please come with me."
This is no dream.
I stand speechless as he stands up. "No you can't, I'm just imagining things." I say as I stagger back again.
The artificial light makes it seem unreal-which I kept trying to tell myself that it is-but him getting up and heading towards me seems so natural that I do not move. "Time to go and show you what I ran away from," he says in the most suave voice that scares me but mesmerizes me at the same time. Before he can touch me, I turn to leave. The tears well up in my eyes, but he grabs me, turns me around and kisses me. As he does, I start to have the same feeling I had before when I first kissed him. This time though, it feels unreal, as if I am being lifted off the ground and that it is just him and me. I then remember what he did to me and I break away. As I back away, I yell at him, "what the heck! Why would I go with you anywhere? You can't just come back and expect everything to be good again." I take this chance to try to escape but when I turn around, I am not in or out of my house. I am in some place that looks foreign to me.
Where... am I? I think to myself.
I hear a sound to my right, I look over there and I quickly duck as something flies over me. What is this place? I turn and look to see what had passed me. It was a floating object of some sort and it was floating away.
"That was one of the toys used by these people." Jake says to me.
"Where am I?" I respond.
"Let's move from this area."
"No, I want to go home."
"Not yet, there is a lot that you need to see." He turned around and slowly started to walk away.
"So, once you show me whatever it is that you want to show me, then will you bring me home?"
"Yes" he said, stopping for just a second then he turned his head and looked back at me, saying, "So, are you coming?"
"Might as well, seeing as though I wont be able to leave unless I come with you."
I followed after him. All around me there was things flying, many people talking with different people about unknown subjects. We walked past a few houses, most of them in really bad shape. I looked around at the situation of some of the houses; some was missing a roof, parts of a wall or even the whole wall and roof with it.
I was paying so much attention to the state of the houses around me, that I didn't notice Kay stop. I ran into him and knocked him over, by accident. "Oh, I'm sorry, I-"before I could finish, we were surrounded by many officers, or what seemed like officers.
One of them spoke, "we received word that you were sighted in the area, and then we saw this commoner following you." They grabbed hold of me, pulled me up forcefully, and then restrained me. "We didn't want to trigger him going off, so we just waited. Your wife-to-be has been worried about you."
The officer's comment came as a shock and I couldn't help but interrupt, "Wife-to be?!?!"
The officer who was speaking then spoke to me "Shut up commoner!" He then took something black and was about to hit me with it, but then Kay appeared right in the middle and stopped the officer.
Kay calmly spoke with some sort of royal tone, "don't worry; I was just walking around with a...friend. He is not to be injured; if he is then my hands shall murder the ones who dealt the damage. Now, if you would kindly go and alert Alice to my whereabouts and tell her I am just fine, then I will make sure that you all get a fine dinner tonight."
The officer quickly straightened up and replied, "Yes sir! But if I may, I suggest that at least one officer accompanies you on your trip. This is a highly dangerous area you are in, Prince Kay."
Smoothly Kay spoke again, "Do not worry, I am capable of defending myself and I have my friend here to assist me. So now go off and do what I have told of everyone to do."
The officers bowed and then rushed off and Kay turned back to me, only this time he said in a non-royal tone: "Are you okay?"
I looked up and in one swoop; I punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground. "Wife to be?!" Trace stood up and looked straight at Kay, "That was only because of that information, but don't expect that I am over what you did earlier. Breaking my heart, bringing me here; I hope you have a good reason for all of this."
He looked away and then wiped off a little bit of blood, finally saying, "don't worry, I have my reason."
