She held onto the blanket tightly, slowly got up to sit on the bed, drawing the covers to herself.
The little yet slight action got Erin up. With her eyes half opened she said sleepy "What's it, bad dreams. " tossing her head around.
Trying to find her voice, a bit in daze. "It's nothing Erin, go back to sleep." The darkness blinded the tears from Erin.
Rubbing her eyes, Erin drew herself up, taking a turn to the side lamp to flip it on. The dim light brought a glow, revealing the well range bedroom.
Using the blanket, she cleaned the wetness off that seized not to stop. She could not control the tears. it kept on flowing like a river.
She erupted. The tears were choking her, making her heartache; she held her chest as the cry went out her mouth; the tightness was increasing every second. What was happening to her?
"It's okay, it will pass. Hang in there. " Erin said, memorizing the same lines like always.
Suffocated in the tearing," it's different. It's not a nightmare, it's just I can't explain it. My heart is heavy." Her tone breaking down in tears.
The difference in the way she said it overshadowed the sleep from her, wary by her muffle. "It's different. What happened?"
"I don't know what to say, it's just different, there were no screams of pain, the only thing I felt was heaviness, the indescribable urge that something is hurting." Squeezing her gown.
"Tell about, " curiosity about what kind of dream that caused her to cry.
Tell her about it. She herself doesn't even know what to make out of the dream. She was confused, what was wrong with her.
"I don't know what to say," she confessed.
"Anything, Arya, a clue that will help me understand was going. This is by far strange. " patting Arya's legs over the blanket.
The nightmare was usually an occurrence, mostly when she's stressed out. It was the same dream over and over again. For the past Five years this was the first time she dreamt something different, along with tears.
"Mirrors Erin, mirrors of my reflection." Finding a way to put it. Her brain went blank, trying to remember it, but the dreams were fading with ticking second.
The just risen sun shone softly on the streets, bringing a flurry of the early morning activities of the hustle.
Landing down, backing the soft bed, consciously awakening, sleep deprived. Ayra tossed around before coming to a halt.
Noticing Erin deep in her sleep, she groaned, covering the blanket up enough to bury her face.
In the early hours of midday, the weather was hot enough to have sweat coating on people's shirts. Heavy shopping bags, of preferably expensive items, pushed and pulled from one hand to another.
The large mall located in the heart of parks city, high and tall breaks built to six story buildings. Carts and wheels of all kinds held goods and more shopping bags.
The plain ripped jeans hovering on top on the bugging black top, as her walking cane was safely hidden in her cross bag. And like any other time, her blond hair were let loose, creasing her waist.
Entangle in the holds of Erin, who was glued to the phone screen, her complaint lasting since they got out in the open. Both of them, wearing matching outfits, the only thing that made difference was that while the other one kept on with her rambling, the other was keen on the ice cream cone in her hands, replying Erin with one or few words repeatedly.
"Yes Erin, I know. Keep calm before you will attract more eyes to yourself." Arya said, dumping the cone in the waste bin as they kept ongoing.
"You don't get it, it's on the top news hub, the video is trending. God what came over me last night. I must have been possessed to have beating a celebrity." She said, now realizing what she had done.
"I do right. We are in deep shit. " agreeing to her words, "Why don't we fly out of the country or something, am sure by now the girl must have been ramping the country looking for you."
It was a miracle that no one recognized them, the face slapping video that was tagged, ' face slapping the bitch." had close to a million sub. How could the media be so unreasonable to have posted the video? What were they thinking?
"I don't think she's going to sit down and see her reputation trending to the dirty. They should have taken down the video." Her hands strolling down on the phone, missing the familiar face that came out from the store they passed.
"Sister! " the voice shouted,
Sneakers over a long gown, matching the eyes of the lady that was merely a resembles of Erin because of the same blue eyes she had.
Their foots came to a pause, as the legs steadily stood rooted to the floor. Erin's hands balled in a fist, as her eyes were closed, clutching her teeth.
The girl hurriedly walked up to in a stylish way, tucking her behind her ear while smiling at them.
"Sis, what's with the sunglasses and the scarf? You are not famous so there's no reason to hide your face," she chuckled.
Raising her lips slightly shifted to the side as she said, her gaze lined at the spoiled brat, "Well if you viewed the internet lately, I am on the top ten trend right now which equals me internet famous. "
Her chuckle became more evident, with a mocking look. "Right, it escaped. I saw the shitty thing you pulled out there. I can't tell how grateful daddy was as he breathed out in relief, thankful that you were no longer bearing his name."
"Yeah, I am relief too, " holding the side of the scarf, so that it won't reveal her face. "So you finally got out of your cocoon, I thought you said that you were uncomfortable with public spaces what gives."
She breath out, "Mmmm, I'm pretty tired of flying from one private setting to another, and you know last week was my birthday, so daddy gifted me with a black expression unlimited credit card. " dipped her hand fishing out the plastic card, waving it at Erin.
"Did I mention it has no limits, whatever? I came here with my new boyfriend to have some fun. Too bad you couldn't attend, but don't worry, it went perfectly without you."
With her lift hand under her cheeks, Erin was just nodding at her every word, "Good for you, so it seems that eldest sister is not yet back. "
"she's with her production team. They are shooting a new movie there, but I think she was last spotted in Khew . You know how she can be looking for on social activities or th-"
"Babe! You just walked out, don't you like the design? " The male voice cutting her words short with the air, bringing out forgotten memories.
His head filled with pale black hair color, half his shirt tucked in his pants, holding a shopping bag.
Coming to stand beside the girl, he pecked her cheeks. "How about the diamond necklace? "
Erin licked her lips, her teeth catching hold of her bottom lip,"Is this the brand new boyfriend?" she sarcastically said, removing the sun shades, to have a good look at her ex boyfriend who was being touchy with her stepsister.
