Chapter 9

Another sleepless night for Jess. She stands up, walks to the window and looks into the night. She sees the river and there he is. She sees the boy, while he walks through the river in his black shorts. He doesn't really looks like a bad boy, so she decides to go out and meet him. She has lots of questions to him, but when she arrives at the river, the river boy is disappeared. She looks around, but can't see him anymore. A few moments later, Dad comes out of the cottage and walks to Jess. Jess is confused, throws her arms around her Dad, but on the question what's wrong, she doesn't says anything about the river boy.
They get back into the cottage and go to bed. Jess can't sleep, because of the picture of the river boy in her head. She tries to sleep for hours and finally she stands up, walks to the window and stares into the night...

**************************************************

In this chapter, there was a change in my mind. I thought that the river boy is a real human, but now I'm not sure anymore. How could he disappear in such a short time? Who is he? Is he a human or just an illusion? An illusion which only exists in Jess head? But why does Pop seems to know something about the river boy, if it's an illusion of Jess? Can two people have the same illusion?
