chapter 7

How do you know if someone is lying?

The signals that someone can give are to stare at the person they are talking to, move their feet, give more information than they should and are nervous.

In the case of Mrs. Heaven, she gave all kinds of signals that she was lying, when I asked her, she just kept quiet, turned pale, and didn't know what to answer me.

I wonder if it was a bad time.

-Jack?

-Yes Mrs. Heaven.

-He...- is silent thinking something to tell me, is he thinking of a lie? - From... where do you know him, dear?

- Do you remember that you told me that in the morning some screams were heard from my room?

-Yes dear, did you have a nightmare? Do you want to talk about it?

Mrs. Heaven is too good and very patient, I feel bad for asking her all this without knowing me well. I took a deep breath and told him about my dream, from how little Jack is happy to listen to his sister when she tells him a story. How that girl looks like me, but she tells me about a promise that I could not keep and all the blood that was on her face.

Mrs. Heaven listened to me attentively. She was serious and quiet, she was prepared for any kind of questions.

-Is that boy named Jack the one who most caught your attention?

-Yes, Mrs. Heaven, the little boy's voice became familiar to me and I thought you could help me.

- Where do you know him from?

-I don't know, but there was a photo on their door and they were a very beautiful family.

- Remy, it was a dream, you better forget it, I don't want you to stress to find the meaning of this dream.

-But Mrs. Heaven...

-Hey enough, we're getting late, help me with dinner, darling.- she tells me in a very sweet tone and kisses me on the forehead. I was very disappointed to see that Mrs. Heaven was unable to help me.

I don't know what to think about right now, whether to continue or leave everything behind, Jack is a little boy and I may only see him in my dreams but I also want to know about that promise.

Upon entering the house again, I took off my gloves and put them on a small table, I wanted to know where Dylan was to help Mrs. Heaven and me with preparing dinner.

I knocked on the door of her room, no one answered, knocked again on the door of her room and I started to worry.

"Dylan? Are you there?"

I suppose he is not in his room, maybe he went to take a shower or is helping his father, maybe later he will see how he is again.

I entered my room, closed the door and Dylan was standing on my balcony, holding my book in his hand, I did not know why he was here, or if he needed something but he does not turn around, his eyes are still down seeing the book.

-Hi Dylan, do you need help with something? - I ask a little nervous

"Remy, did you know that when you read and stay on a page, shouldn't it be folded?" He showed me a folded page made by me.

- I did not know how to mark it without losing myself.

-For that there are dividers, I put it next to your night table.

- Is that what they are for?

- Yes, She returns the book to me with a different separator - Please be careful, these books are very old and...

-Why did you come into my room? You know it's rude for a boy to enter a girl's room.

-I wanted to tell you about something, Remy, and please tell me the truth.

-Okay, what's up.

- You and my mother were talking about something in the garden, what were you talking about?

-I just asked her if she knew anyone and sher ...

-She got nervous, lose, I saw everything.

-Sorry, it was not my intention.

- If you had doubts, it was that you ask me, she is usually a little nervous.

-Sorry, I was going to ask you but you were busy and...

-The next asks me what you can, my mother is at a very worrying age and I am afraid that she will get sick.

-Okay.-Dylan can be very bad and very good at the same time, and I didn't mean to speak to his mother like that.

He leaves my room with a serious look and before I forget I warned him that it would be better for him to come down to help his mother with dinner.

- Okay Remy, you will come down, right?

-Sure, I just have to tidy up my room.

She looks me straight in the eye and smiles as if she apologizes for having raised my voice a little, I still look at her with a slight smile.

When he leaves my room and closes my door, I started to organize everything that was on the floor and when I picked up a book, there was a brown book, the cover was old, when I lifted it I saw that there was inside the sheets and One caught my attention, that it was bent, when I opened it I dropped a leaf, when the lift was a photograph, just like the one in my dreams, only the only face that was blurred was that of the girl, the one that appeared in My dream, who is it? , but the problem is that I am not sure, in the whole mansion there is not a mirror, they are all covered or hidden, if only there was a way to look for a mirror and. ..

Mr. and Mrs. heaven's room, maybe I will find a mirror and can see what my face really is like and thus see my face for the first time.

In the photo you can see the whole family, only the face of the father and mother, is more remarkable, they are smiling, they are happy, and the child is with a smile and the soccer ball.

Did Dylan leave this? I have not seen this book since I arrived, the other pages are blank, some are written in another language, I hope to know what is happening here.
