"No !" "Leave me alone"

I woke up with a sudden jerk in my body. I opened up my eyes to the fan up on the ceiling which calmed me down that it was a dream or should i say a nightmare..

My whole body was sweaty with a dizzy head. My heart was beating so fast with a buzz in my brain and together they are as panic with jump-leads.

It was morning. Upon waking , I burrowed myself in the soft sheets of my bed. The comfort was too much forcing me to sleep again to have beautiful dreams.

I looked around the room and clock was stuck at 12o'clock.

At first , it was comfort I was feeling but then it all started to come together , vivid memories of me having the living nightmare. It felt like a hungover , not from drink but from the fear and this nightmare demand solution.

"Why all of a sudden ?" I whispered.

Something was suffocating me deep inside like I lost something precious.

Like I meant to woke up and stand.

.

.

"Hey, you up ?" A sudden voice interrupted my thaughts.

It was Andrea . She came to me dressed in her school uniform.

"Get up , mom is waiting downstairs , she really want explanations for last night " Andrea said slipping the sheets away from me.

" d-did you told mom ? " I asked being anxious knowing the consequences I had to face.

" Wait , me ?! No I didn't ! " She refused. I know she will never do that. She is the only one I can rely on .

"How am I supposed to explain to her what is happening ? S - She never listens" A ripple of fear creeped inside my body.

"but get up, we are gonna be late for school ! " Andrea yelled at me revealing the time on her wristwatch.

"can I ask you something ? What happened last night ? I know something happened but I also know you won't tell me but whatever it was, if it does include the moment we will live in near future , please tell me . I have never seen you this much disturbed"

With that She left my room leaving me solely. Maybe I was quiet but there was so much I wanted to tell her. My words wanted to escape my mouth but ceased with in me. I wanted to bury this storm , burn this unwanted silence and wanted an escape.

.

.

.

I collected my thaughts and went to shower. I looked away from the mirror as I don't have enough vivacity to face myself.

This is breaking my heart how mornings were interesting for me. But everything have switched.

I dressed myself wrapped in the school uniform just like a plane lie wrapped with the deceptive outlook. I wanted to run away and maybe I will do it. But first, I had to make it clear for my mom.

.

.

"Here you are ? already dressed ? would you mind telling me something young lady ?" Mom asked standing in front of dining table blocking my way.

"Mom I'm tired can we please start this later?" I said with an emotionless face heading towards the table.

"You really have no sense of responsibility! do you ?! You said you will be back soon and you lied that you went on some sleepover ! " She yelled at me throwing hands at the table. She really doesn't have no patience when it comes to me.

" Mom, we can talk about it later. we are getting late " Andrea Interrupted as she doesn't want no drama in the morning. Of course she saved me though.

Our doorbell rang and mom went to answer. I was clearly terrified to find what was out that door. I peeped from behind as we could see the door from here.

"Could it be - " I was horrified to see what was waiting for me outside.
