Book 2: In the Life of Mia: College Chapter 1
One month into my collage experience and I still could not believe that I was now a college student at one of the best schools in the world. I was actually doing great after only a month and a half of being there and starting a whole 2 weeks early. Which was great for me since I needed to get in the swing of the time difference. My parents only stayed the first 2 weeks before having to get back for work and life. They only had about 6 ½ months before my little brother would be born and change their lives all over again. I made sure to video chat with Sharene and Madeline on a daily basis and the rest of my friends and loved ones the best I could. My birthday was only a few weeks away and had plans of going home for a few days, as I was acing all my tests and finishing them ahead of schedule making my professors happy. I had met a few girls and guys in study group, and we had become friends quickly loving their accents like I loved Sharene’s. “I am so happy to be going home for a few days for my 19th birthday and see my girlfriend and her baby girl” I admitted to Abella. Who had lived just up the street from me and kept me from running back home after my parents left.
Abella loved that I was so open and that included my sexuality. “Yes, you must tell me more about this woman, and tell me more about being this way. I find it completely, interesting and I hope you do not mind that I keep asking you questions about it all. Only because I’ve never met anyone who was a lesbian. Well, I should say never conversated with others who were that way. I guess I was too busy with school to really pay that close attention” she shrugged as she tried to make it not that big of a deal. I cleared my throat as I sipped water. “No… um I don’t like labels…I actually like both men and woman and right now I’m just with a woman not saying it’s going to be forever, but it feels great. Actually, to be honest right before I left, she told me she was in love with me, and we have not discussed it since” I confessed shrugging like it’s no big deal and Abella gasped followed by smacking me in the chest. Abella told me how it was for her when she first told her boyfriend that she loved him, and he freaked out too. They had even broke, up for a few days until he came to her and apologized telling her that he loved her too. “Ya and now we’ve been engaged since sophomore year here at college now that we are Juniors it’s like becoming more real. He is studying to become a psychiatrist as you know, and he just would love to hear this shit you’ve been telling me the last week now” she said with a chuckle that reached all the way to her eyes.
Abella made me feel like I was about to be put on the block for her boyfriend to pick my brain apart. I knew it would not be good since I was not like any other person and was still trying to reach my mother considering now, we shared different time zones. “Umm I’ll see what I can do to help him out but I’m serious I’m not a good candidate for that for so many reasons which I can’t get into now” I say as I walked her out for the night. I called home before I headed to bed and spoke with Sharene just before Madeline got up for the day. "Sorry to call so early just wanted to hear your voice before I went to bed. Don't forget I'll be flying home in a few weeks for about 3 1/2 days or so. I can't wait to see you and Maddie, are your parents still around?" I asked hoping they were, so I would get a chance to meet them face to face. "Yea their still here... ummm sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to you yesterday just been super busy. I can't wait to see you in a couple of days and your mother told me to tell you to call her if I talked to you before she did" she says with her voice sounding a little off. "Ok well I'll let you go I am sorry for bothering you, I'm heading for a shower and then bed. See you soon" I whispered softly, and she sighed. "I'm...umm ya see you in a couple days" she said before hanging up. I was so confused until my grandmother Amelia came into focus "So about tonight and dreaming we have to hurry while your mother is still sleeping, it's perfect since she's more vulnerable and baby boy will help us" she said.
I showered quickly and started my breathing technique to help get me ready. I was in my dream state and gathered with my family and mins later I was into the dream state with my grandmothers who gave me extra strength to get through the fog that still choked me. The fog was my mothers’ defense against the other side trying to get her to come back to them and let them through again. After I finally got past the fog my mother was dreaming but she had her own unique dream stream. "Mommy.... let me in please... I told you I'd be back every night until you let me in. I can stay out here on the outside but I need you to at least trust yourself enough to know that it's real....." "Mia....I--I can't...." my mother started to cry a little. "Mommy I promise no one is going to take your little boy this time, and Ethan was sick, and you and daddy did everything you could... I'm confused about this and need your help. You let Jasmine in knowing that she has true abilities, yet you deny your own and doubt yourself everyday.... look I don't have much time since you are going to be getting up soon and this will fog up again. I have tried reaching you when you are not sleeping but you put up the damn walls up and guard this place like a fortress. When you are sleeping it's not as hard and baby helps me out.... please you know this is real, deep down and something tells me that father knows more then he lets on and is a good reason why we have bodyguards. Sooooo, I will keep coming back and when you're ready I'm here waiting along with Ethan and the girls who would love to meet you. I also met your father and grandfather... heavy feeling for sure and could really use your help to tell me I'm not just crazy and heading for a break.... this is one reason I won't commit to anyone because it would not be fair. Yet you and father keep pushing me and maybe that is why, because you don't want me to have these abilities. Ha-ha a little too....nooooo wait...." my mother fogged me out as she woke and fought it all over again. "FUCK!" I screamed out and shot straight up in bed panting and a second later Lola ran in with a gun and searching my room. "I-its ok.... just a dream.... did I scream out again?" I asked since I had been for the last couple of weeks.
Lola just stood there looking at me for a min and finally went to the bathroom and got me a washcloth. "Here... you look like you could use it and try and get a little more sleep. You don't sleep like you should and could be why you wake up in a sweat. Should I call your folks, just asking since they did leave us contact information" she asks sweetly and thank her for the cool rag. "No really it's ok and I'm a big girl and don't need my mommy and daddy" I say smiling before going back to bed. I had decided to stay focused on school and my mother for the next two weeks before leaving for home. I had put all my calls through to Lola and the team to have them just let everyone know I was fine and just busy with tests and needing the time to focus. My mother was starting to trust me a bit more but still kept the walls and guards up along with the door. We had talked for what seemed like hours on end and she had told me about her side of the family a little more each night. Ethan even sat with us some nights along with the girls who were whatever age we wanted them to be. "It's very weird for me still and being with them feels so good that... in the beginning I wanted to find a way to be with them permanently. I knew though that I could not leave everyone else heartbroken and I know what it does to people...." "How do my parents look? Are they still amazing and loving, Artemis has the most amazing since of humor. You obviously have figured out that all the woman are named after one another and that's why I named you Mia. My mother named me after her mother... this is I’m sorry hard for me and it's not that I don't believe, but it's the abilities that frighten me and I know all too well the feeling of wanting to be there as much as possible..." she said sighing and I could hear the wanting in her voice.
