and had us follow him. He showed us to a red 2012 car. It was new everything. My eyes lit up.
“Do you want that one?” My Dad asked. I nodded my head vigorously as I sat inside the drivers seat. I felt the interior and I knew I was in love.
“Do you want to take it for a test drive?” The man asked me.
“Yes.” I told him. He threw me the keys and I put them into the ignition. The sound was so smooth when it started. It was like music to my ears. I slowly backed out of the parking lot and drove a couple miles down the road. It drove so smooth and quietly. I was in love with this car. After I turned around and headed back I looked over to the passenger seat and that guy was there.
“Ah!” I screamed and pulled over.
“Ah!” He screamed back.
“Ah!” I screamed.
“Ah!” He screamed.
“Ah!” I screamed.
“Wait, why are we screaming?” He asked.
“Where the feathers did you come from?” I asked. My heart was pounding so fast I thought I was having a heart attack.
“Well, I came from my mother and then the rest, I don’t want to talk about.” He said.
“No! I mean how did you get into the car?” I asked him trying to get my breathing back on track.
“Magic?” He laughed.
“Why do you keep following me?” I asked him.
“I told you. I’m your Guardian. I’m not going anywhere.” He stated.
“Why do I need a Guardian?” I asked him.
“Because, although this world might seem dandy, there’s bad too. You just haven’t met it yet.” He said.
“Well, what can the bad do?” I asked him.
“More than you can imagine.” He told me.
“I want to wake up now.” I said while pitching myself. It didn’t work though. All it did was hurt.
“What are you doing?” He asked me.
“I want to wake up.” I said.
“Don’t you know that you have to go to sleep in your bed to go and get to this world.” He told me.
“I knew that. I was just testing you.” I told him and then drove the car back to the lot.
“That took a while.” The man said.
“Sorry. I drove slow.” I said and looked over to the passenger seat but the man was already gone.
“So, do you want it?” My Dad asked giddy. At first everyone being happy scared me a little and I was skeptical about this place but after I while I realized that its just a dream so what could happen.
“Yeah!” I said.
“We will take it.” My Dad said.
“Okay. Come this way and lets do some paper work.” The man said and showed my Dad into the car place. I walked around the car. Touching the paint and looking at myself in the reflection.
“Nice car.” That guy said and then I jumped.
“Oh my gosh! Stop doing that!” I yelled at him.
“Okay.” He said. “The names Shawn.”
“I don’t care.” I told him.
“Well, you’re going to be seeing a lot of me so I thought that you should know my name and don’t worry, I already know your name, Jasmine.” He said with a wink.
“You know, I would peg you as a raper.” I told him.
“That’s not nice.” He said back.
“Well, I never said I was nice, therefore I can’t promise you anything.” I told him.
“Why can’t we just get along?” He crossed his arms over his tight red shirt. I took a good look at his face. He was pretty cute but really annoying.
“Because you are kinda creepy.” I said honestly.
“Am not!” He argued.
“Really? You follow me to school. You pop into my car and chase me down the street. Call me crazy but thats creepy.” I told him.
“Okay, so maybe that is a little creepy but I have to watch out for you.” He said.
“Why?” I asked. “I’m not a child. I don’t need someone watching over me.”
“Yes you do.” He said.
“No I don’t.” I argued.
“Yes.”
“No.”
“Yes!”
“No!”
“Yes.”
“No.”
“You’re acting childish just by arguing with me!” He pointed out.
“I don’t care. I don’t need a chaperone.” I made clear.
“Okay then, jus think of me as a watcher.” He said.
“Stalker.” I corrected him.
“You are so reluctant!” He yelled.
“What can I say? I love to argue.” I said.
“We will never agree.” He said.
“That I agree on.” I replied. I turned back to the car. I looked at myself in the bright red paint. This world didn’t even seem fake anymore. I didn’t worry about it because it was a refreshing change. I turned around thinking I would see Shawn but the was gone.
“I really hate when he does that.” I mumbled to myself. I saw Dad and the sales guy walking out of the store shaking hands. Dad threw me the keys.
“Its all yours.” he said.
“Really?” I asked.
“Really.” Dad replied. He got into the passenger seat and we headed home. When I pulled in the drive way my Mom came out.
“Oh, its so beautiful. Say Phil, are you going to buy me a car like that?” My Mom asked my Dad.
“What ever your heart desires.” He replied and then kissed her.
“I love you, honey.” She said.
“I love you, Lily bear.” My dad replied. I shook at the disgusting, mushy talk they were talking.
See, in my world I wouldn’t even be getting a car and If pig flew and I did get a car that conversation would have gone like this,
“Oh, its so beautiful. Say Phil, are you going to buy me a car like that?” My Mom asked my Dad.
“In your dreams.” He would have and then passed her without a second look. He would have gotten in the house and then yelled, “Where’s my beer?”

My world is much different than this world and some times I never want to leave.
I walked in behind them and sat on the couch. I surfed through the channels when the television froze. I hit the remote but nothing happened.
“Mom! The tv froze!” I yelled but no one replied. In fact it got really quiet. I looked over at my Mom and Dad. They were in the middle of kissing but they weren’t moving. I looked out side and saw a bird stopped in mid air.
“What is going on?” I mumbled to myself. I turned to go back to the couch but stopped when I saw Shawn.
“What the-” I began to say.
“Watch your mouth.” He said.
“Don’t tell me what to do.” I said and sat next to him. “What do you want?”
“Nothing. Just came to ask how your new car is doing?” He asked.
“Its fine.” I said and got up. I stubbed my toe on the corner of the couch.
“Son of a Mother fo!” I screamed while clenching my pinky toe which had just turned purple.
“Ooh. That looks like it hurt.” He said while pointing.
“You are such a Jack-” I began to say again.
“Ahem.” He coughed warning me not to swear.
“Jack-wagon!” I finished. Not the words I wanted to say but it was better than what I suppose I was going to say.
“Better.” He said.
“Why do you keep coming around?” I asked him.
“Because, Jasmine, you have to know this world isn’t fun and games.” He said.
“What are you talking about? This world is just my dream.” I told him while hopping back to the couch.
“No, Jasmine. This isn’t a dream. This is real. You have a gift.” He said.
“Gift?” I questioned.
“Yes, a gift. You can go into a parallel universe where most everything is opposite. It may seem all fun and perfect but I’m warning you that its not.” He began to say.
“Are you high?” I asked him with a chuckle.
“Jasmine, I’m being serious.” He said and held my hand. I looked down at his hand which held mine and was thinking about pulling it away but for some reason I liked having him touching me.
“Okay, I’ve giving you the benefit of the doubt.” I told him. “What if this wasn’t really my dream, what if it really is a real world? What I’ve seen so far this world seems perfect. I haven’t met anyone mad or sad or anyone who isn’t smiling. Whats so bad about that?”
“Don’t you think its weird that they don’t know any emotion but happy?” He asked me.
“At first but I just thought this was my dream and I must have been tired of seeing so many hurt, sad, mad people.” I told him.
“Don’t try to find a reason for things because that will make your brain try to find a reason and then you wont see whats actually there.” He said. It kind of confused me but I thought hard about what he just said. It started to make sense. Sometimes the human brain really does try to find a reason for some things that aren’t mean’t to have a reason for.
“Okay.” I said quietly. “I believe you.”
“Good. That’s a start.” He said. I looked down at my toe. It was throbbing and was still a purple color. He looked down at my toe. “That looks like it really hurts.” He stated. I nodded my head and he walked over to me. He knelt down and put both of his hand on my foot and he covered my toe. His hands began to glow yellow and a light came from it. When he removed his hand my toe didn’t hurt anymore. I bent my toes and they still didn’t hurt.
“How did you do that?” I asked amazed.
“Its one of my gifts.” He said.
“One?” I asked him.
“Yes, one.” He answered. “I heal people. Other than that I have the same gift you do. I can cross between parallel worlds too. People who usually have this gift are people who were alone. People who know what its like to be on your own and who know what its like to be rejected.”
“How do you know what thats like?” I asked him.
“I was that person.” He said.
“You? You’re handsome and strong and really cute. How can you be that person? I know what its like because I’m that person. I’m geeky and I wear glasses and I’m always alone. Always.” I told him as a tear rolled down my cheek. “I’m ugly.” Shawn took off my glasses and brushed my hair out of my face.
“I think you’re beautiful.” He said. He touched my cheek and pulled me closed. His lips gently pressed against mine. They were so soft. So warm. As he pulled away my lips stuck to his. He kissed me again. I’ve never had anyone make me feel the way I do right now. He pulled away and looked at me.
“I’m, I’m sorry.” He said and stood up.
“Its okay. Its somewhat my fault.” I told him. He smiled. I stood up with him and looked into his amazing eyes. They were so beautiful and mysterious. They were red but orange with a small mix of brown. They looked into your soul. I ran my hands through his dirty blonde hair and kissed him again. As I pulled away from his soft lips I stared into his eyes. He kissed me once more. He put both hands on my cheeks and lifted me from the ground as he kissed me. He leaned me back on the couch. Then we heard the door open.
