CHAPTER 13
I awoke the next morning feeling greatfull and well rested. Next to me there was a plate of crispy bacon, still hot to the touch.
I dropped some into my mouth and shivered at the delectable taste. I blinked and they were gone, I hadn't realised how hungry I was.
Slowly, I sat up. For a few minutes I just sort of looked around the room, at all the pictures and the decor as I woke up fully.
I picked up the greasy, white plate and walked around the hall space to the kitchen, it was small but cosy and was perfect for an elderly couple. Gently, the plate slipped down into the sink. "Thank you" I whispered to myself even though nobody could hear me.
It felt strange leaving the bungalow, I felt like a normal person but I didn't have to worry about my appearance or really anything else.
Lazily, I made my way to the café, I had forgotten how long the walk was.
After about 20 minutes I finally made it to the café. The sign said open which meant that Amelia was already there working.
Amelia was behind the counter faffing with the till as I pushed open the heavy glass door.
"arh!" she jumped. "oh my.. I'm sorry, I just got a little startled, come in I reserved the booth for you." she spoke confidently as if I was there with her.
We were the only two in the building because it was early and the seaside looked almost completely deserted.
The sky was grey and the sea was a sandy brown colour. There weren't going to be many customers today, they forecasted bad weather for the whole week so Amelia might come into some money troubles soon. I thought to myself.
Why was I even thinking about Amelias troubles? It wasn't my place to do so. Yet it felt like it should be.
"So, mystery man" she exclaimed as she came over and sat at the booth with me.
"I've been doing some research on comas and out of body experiences" she continued. "and I want to help you get back to your body!" Amelia slid her phone to the middle of the table and pulled up a Google page.
"it sais here that you have to get into the exact position from where you woke up or find your body and be as close as you can to it." she was explaining the words on the screen to me with a voice as soft as marshmallows.
"but because I can't see you, you'll need to be constantly carrying something" she frowned a little. "hmm" she pondered as she scanned around the room. Her gaze fluttered down and back to her phone. "maybe you could hold my phone!" Amelia exclaimed excitedly!
"tell me, which do you want to try first?" she opened the notes app on her phone and slid it back to the middle of the table.
I took the phone and typed. Everytime I looked up I could see her staring at the phone that just floated there almost magically. I put Amelias phone back down on the table.
It read.
- Maybe we should try the place I first woke up? I don't remember very clearly but I could probably find it! -
~ Also, ta for the bacon is was delish 😁 ~
You knew which part Amelia had read because she chuckled. "no problem!") she beamed. "Right, you take my phone and ill follow you" she said whilst getting up.
I grabbed the phone again and held it tightly in my grasp. Finally I felt closer to becoming myself again.
