I was looking for Cameron in the hallway at school the next day. Once I found him, I approached him. "Cameron."
"Vanessa, you know I-"
I knew Mercury hated the sight of him and I together. Buy I had to say was important. Even life saving. "I know, but you have to know something. You might think I'm crazy, or probably still do, but Mercury is a...", I searched for the right word. "A mythical creature."
"Not this crap again, Vanessa."
"I know you think I'm crazy, but I'm telling you the truth. She's something called a sea witch-"
"Just because she's not as nice-"
"No, not a witch. A sea witch. And if you don't believe me, your life may be at risk."
"Are you serious? Vanessa, if this is a way to get me back-"
"It isn't." Why does everyone think that? "Please Cameron, all I want you to do is behave around Mercury. Don't get her angry at you."
"Why?"
"Just please don't." I saw Mercury walking down the hall towards us. "I should go. But please, don't get her mad." I turned and walked away.
-After School-
As I was boarding the school bus, Cameron came up to me. "Cameron?"
He pulled me to the side. "Vanessa, I want to know why?"
"Why what?"
"Why can't I get Mercury mad?"
"Because she'll kill you."
"How do you know?"
"Because I know what sea witches do to men who anger them. I also know she's a sea witch because I saw her eyes glowing red."
"What? When?"
"When she-" I saw Mercury walking towards us again. "I have to go." I got on the bus before Cameron got to say anything else. But then I realized something. Cameron came to ask me more questions about what I told him about Mercury. Was he starting to believe me?
-At Home-
AfterI finished my homework, I got a call from Cameron. I answered it. "Hello?"
"Vanessa, tell me about when you saw Mercury's eyes glowing."
"Okay." I told him what occurred that day in the bathroom, except the part about me still having feelings for him.
"She hurt you?"
"Yes, but just forget-"
"No Vanessa, just because you're my ex-girlfriend doesn't mean I'll allow Mercury to hurt you. Wait, why did she hurt you again?"
Because she knows I'm still in love with you. "Because she thought I was trying to take you from her."
"Her and I are going to have a talk-"
"No!" If Cameron did that, Mercury'll kill him for sure. "She'll get angry and then-"
"Vanessa, she won't-"
"Cameron, if I really believed she wasn't going to do something to you, I wouldn't have told you. If this is a lie, why am I trying so hard?"
Cameron was silent for a few seconds. "I guess you're right. Fine, I won't talk to her."
"Good." We were silent for five minutes. "Bye."
He hesitated. "Bye." He hung up and so did I.
"Vanessa, you know I-"

Dear Well....You,
I love you, you know that? I think your absolutely astounding, and amazing, and I hope you never change. You make my day in every way, and as far as now, you’ve been completely supportive.
I love how when I shiver just a bit, you hand me your sweater.
I love how you kiss my cheek when I blush.
I love you how you smell, and how you taste.
I love how you tell me I’m beautiful, even when I look like crap.
I love how when I’m just the tiniest bit scared, you tell me everything’s going to be alright.
I love how when you speak, sometimes, the most awkwardness things come out, and we joke about it.
I love how when I mess up my words, you tease me about it, but don’t make a big deal.
I love how you kiss me.
I love you completely
Please never change.
Love Me

I sit in the dark. Thinking about Jack. A single tear comes out of my eye, then another. I start to laugh quietly, trying not to wake up my sister. Then, the horrible memory from my awful dream came back to me. I went to the door and paused. I sighed and told myself that nothing is out there but the hallway, the dining room, living room and the kitchen. I took out my phone from my jacket and looked at the time. It's 5:59. I rolled my eyes and opened and closed the door quietly and sat on the soft couch. I started to drift into thoughts about Degrassi, and what it would be like if I went there. Then, a black figure moved across the kitchen. Spooked, I quickly walked to my aunts' laptop and looked up some funny videos on youtube.com to keep m off track from the figure. Hours passed, and I am still freaked. Ten minutes later, I calm down and look up some more funny stuff. Ugh! I must be haluccinating from lack of sleep. I rubbed my eyes and went back to my bedroom and passed out.
