SECTION 4:

“Whitney, you probably know this, but my brother died a couple of years ago. I remember every detail of it like it was yesterday. I thought I shouldn’t cry, because I was supposed to be a man, but I wanted to cry every minute. Bryant knew me like no one else did. And I didn’t get to say good bye to him that day, because I didn’t realize I’d never see him again. I thought it was an ordinary day.  Just like you did. When I heard what happened to your dad, I felt an instant connection to you, because I know exactly what you feel like. Is that weird?” 

Tears start running down my face all over again as I shake my head. Great. I’m a human faucet.

“I haven’t talked about it much with anyone here, even though I know people are curious. Sometimes it makes it worse to talk about it- have you noticed that?”  I nod silently. “But sometimes, it makes it better. You’ll eventually notice that, too. It just takes awhile longer for that part.”

Everything he’s saying is exactly right.

GUARDIAN Synopsis:

  Sometimes, things that go bump in the night are real. 

My name is Whitney Lane.  I’m sixteen years old and at first, I thought I was crazy. 

I kept seeing shadows move along walls, and hearing whispers around corners, but whenever I looked, there was never anything there.  

Until one day, there was. 

Our world isn’t what we think.  There are things around us, good things, bad things, scary things.  

Things that we tell ourselves aren’t real, but they are.   

They’re very real, and they’re terrifying. 

I’ve been swept up now, in a battle of good and evil, confused about love and what is supposed to be love, but isn’t.  I don’t know what to think anymore.  I can’t trust my emotions and I don’t know what is true.  

There’s only one thing I know for sure. 

Nothing is what it seems.
