>>Maya (Present time)
Every time I had nightmares I woke up with a jump even though I would forget everything when I opened my eyes. But, unlike all those times, this time I woke up normally.
My eyelids opened slowly and I remembered everything. Every single detail of that day from seven years ago that was supposed to be special yet turned into the most horrific day of my life.
I sat up slowly and slumped against the back of the bed, took a soft deep breath and then gave myself a painful smile.
I placed my hand on my chest. It hurt remembering all that, the pain was exactly the same as how it was on that day, maybe because for me, it was a fresh memory or maybe it will always hurt like this.
Tears slipped down my cheeks but I didn’t make a sound.
