Chapter 2: Déjà vu Part 4

Image
     Ever since that afternoon with Logan and the lifeguards, life seemed easier and less complicated. I don't know why, but his presence makes me feel relaxed. Like I can tell him anything and he won't judge me. Before I could realize it, I spent most of my time with him and his group of friends. Even though it was nice to meet new people I knew I had to tell my friends what was really going on. They were concerned because of my recent absence. Specially Madeline. Though I could tell she was also a little suspicious about me and Logan. I couldn't avoid it. I had to trust them.      It was during the last weeks of summer when I decided to spill the beans.

''Oh, it's you, Olivia. I thought somebody broke in'' she said relieved. There was so much I wanted to know that my mind got overwhelmed. I just couldn't talk.

First of all I need to apologize for posting this instalment so late. I wanted to post it in February but things got a little hectic and I really didn't have much time. Nevertheless I hope you'll enjoy reading it and if you like it you can leave me comment below. :)   Just when I thought I wouldn't have nightmares anymore they came back for more. Events of these past days occupied my mind. There were no answers to my questions. And the person that could give them is nowhere to be found. It makes me nervous, uncertain what should I do. Do I trust her? Should I wait and not jump to conclusions. If I would only knew the reason behind her disappearance. I guess time will tell. I can't lie to others where my mom is anymore. But especially I can't lie to myself.     It was the fourth night I spent in a house alone wondering what will happen next. Neighbours already became suspicious but I managed to convince them that mom is on a business trip. I hated it. I ...
