'Such a pretty thing,' his Southern accent was dripping with his perverted thoughts. He ran his hand across my cheek and I tried to move away, but he only grabbed my face and forced me to look at him. 'What's the matter? Are you scared?'
"Brenna!" Teddy said as he waved his hand in front of my face. We were all at the mall, and I had been eating my taco, but for some reason, my attention had been drawn to my flashbacks.
"Huh?"
"Are you ok?" He laughed. "You didn't even say anything when Alyssa told you she was going to Victoria's Secret."
"She went where?"
"Victoria's Secret." He said again.
"Oh. Ok." I shrugged as I took a bite of my food and he kept staring at me. "Are you sure you're ok?"
I nodded. "I am fine." I lied. I just wanted the stupid memories to stop.
----------
This memory was different. I was watching every movement the two of us made that night like I had been a fly on the wall the whole time.
It hurt even more to see it the second time. He pulled his arm back and then plunged it hard to my body, bringing my mind back to reality.
I was gasping for air like I had just ran a marathon. Everyone was looking at me from their respective spots in my living room. Teddy on the other end of the couch, Ian in the recliner, and Alyssa hanging her head off the edge of the rather large ottoman.
Ian started to move, but Teddy beat him to it and I saw the instant hurt in his eyes. "Bren..."
I just stared at him.
"Bren, you screamed..."
"I did?" I asked. I wasn't sure what I had done, since I had been asleep.
He nodded as I heard Ian stand up and move to the floor in front of me.
"Hey babe, are you ok? What did you see?" He tried to pry the memory out of me. He knew I had been lying about a few things that happened that night.
I shook my head. "The same thing I see every time," I reminded him.
"Are you going to be ok?" He asked as his Mom walked through the living room and handed me the newspaper.
'HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?' Was printed in bold, black letters across the subject heading with his picture right underneath. His dark, dirty looking blonde hair hung down to his chin like always and he squinty blue eyes seemed to glare back at me, but I was sure he wasn't trying to look angry in the picture, seeing as it was probably taken from his Mother's - or maybe even his own - house.
I covered my mouth with my hand and read the article. The previous night after leaving the coffee shop, he robbed a gas station and murdered the man inside. They mentioned that he was also the man that fit the description of the guy I described. He more than fits the description, I thought.
After I read it, I sat it on the coffee table and then went to the kitchen to get me something to drink. My mouth was suddenly very dry, and I needed something to drink.

"Oh my gosh. Do you realize what Friday is?" Alyssa squealed.
I shook my head in confusion. "Should I?"
"It's the day we all camp out like goofballs in your backyard. Duh."
I couldn't believe we still did that after five years. "Oh."
"What? We can invited Ted this year!" She clapped her hands. "I'm sure he'd love that one."
I raised my eyebrows. "Yeah... I'm sure he'd... love it."
"What's wrong?"
I shook my head. "I'm incredibly tired."
"Would you sleep easier if this guy wasn't running around?"
I nodded. "Sure. And if Jaimie wasn't going to be home this weekend." Jaimie was my step-sister. Everyone loved her. She was perfect and sweet and always had a smile on her face no matter what the situation. She'd been away at college for the first time and it seemed to me like the first time everyone didn't compare me to her.
People thought we actually looked alike, but I'd always remind them she was much prettier and I wasn't related to her by blood.
"Oh, I see. You know, she's really not that bad." Alyssa tried to reason with me. "I mean, she may be dating that Hayden guy with the ridiculously hot body... But she is your sister."
I rolled my eyes. "I know, and I can't help but like her. She's always so d*** perky. Maybe if she'd act human for once I'd like her."
----------
"Brenna, get down here! Jaimie's home!" Ian called. He wasn't too fond of her either, and she was his own flesh and blood. He only sounded excited because he had to be.
I descended the stairs as slowly as humanly possible just to put off seeing her.
"Brenna!" She said happily with her arms outstretched to give me a hug. I hugged back lightly and she returned to her seat on the couch where everyone was going through a ridiculously large stack of photos.
"What are we looking at?" I asked curiously.
"Just some pictures my roommate Kendra and I took at the college." She said as she stole a glance at the stack her Mother was flipping through. "OH! That's at the intramural football game. Hayden played and then twisted his ankle during it. There's his ankle."
Who takes a picture of a swolen ankle? I thought to myself and chuckled as I took a seat next to Ian on the floor who had his own pile of pictures.
"There's me and Hayden the night he proposed," she said happily as she held up a picture of Hayden and herself on some bridge. She held up her left hand proudly as Hayden walked through the front door with their luggage.
"So what about you, Bren? Do you have a guy yet?" She asked and I suddenly felt tense.
"She's been a little pre-occupied," Ian said for me.
"What do you mean?" She said giddily and I rolled my eyes.
"It means that I've had a ridiculous amount of flashbacks and this guy is still free so I can barely sleep without dreaming of him sneaking in and stabbing the sh** out of me," I snapped at her and my Dad gave me a look.
"Brenna Spencer." He warned me and I glared at him.
"Excuse me if I'm not as perky as her all the time. I'm tired. I think I'll attempt to get some sleep, but I'm not making any concrete plans."
I stomped up the stairs moodily and shut my door roughly before looking for a pair of pajama pants to wear, only to discover I had none.
Ian knocked on my door and held out a pair of his own flannel pajamas and I took them. "I saw Mom doing laundry earlier and figured you might could use these." He said calmly. "I understand the whole thing back there. It's totally normal."
"Thank you, Captain Obvious."
"Hey, I'm just saying... Maybe you could talk about it more." He sat down on the side of the bed. "And FYI, I wanted you to be the first to know that I'm taking Alyssa out on Friday."
"But I thought Alyssa and I already had plans Friday night."
"It's ok, she'll be back in time for your... camp thing." He laughed and kissed my forehead. "Night loser."
"Night turd." I laughed as I changed and dug myself under the covers to attempt sleep.
----------
"Brenna, are you awake?" I heard Jaimie ask as she pushed through my doorway.
"That's a stupid question," I said without moving from my position of facing the wall while laying on my stomach.
She let out a small laugh. "I'm not always perky all the time." She said. "Trust me. You have not seen me stressed."
I rolled my eyes and I turned over to face her. She was leaning against a wall. "I just wanted to let you know that a guy named Ted called for you."
I nodded. "Thanks."
"Hey, would you like to be my Maid of Honor?"
"Me? Seriously? What about Kendra or Lana?" I laughed.
"I haven't talked to Lana since graduation and Kendra would totally understand." She told me.
"Ok." I smiled and she nodded.
"Thanks. I'll see you in the morning." She smiled as she left my room. I still hated her for always being so happy.
----------
"I heard you called for me," I told Teddy the next day.
He nodded and smiled. "I sure did. Who was that that answered the phone?"
"My step-sister, Jaimie." I informed him and he nodded. "She's usually at college. She called the other day and said she'd be here for the weekend."
He nodded. "Sounds fun." I gave him a look as we stopped at my locker. "What? Do you not like her?"
"What I don't like is that it's impossible not to like her."
"Oh."
"Oh, so me and Alyssa have this... camping thing where we sleep in a tent and sleeping bags in my backyard every year on this day. I was just wondering if maybe you'd like to join... But it's cook if you don't because I'm sure Alyssa will do nothing but talk about her date with Ian and she'll probably be really hyper from all the candy and we'll probably do a lot of talking about guys... specific guys.. You can stop me anytime.."
He laughed at me. "Sure."
"Really? You're really going to come?"
He nodded. "I'll really be there."
"Awesome. I know it's totally lame, so if you want to leave early I'll totally understand."
He shook his head. "No, it's cool. Really."
I nodded. "Ok. I'll see you later then."
He smiled and waved. "See ya."
Why was I nervous about this?
