Every night, I get nightmares somewhat like the one I received first. The ones with mom killing herself before my very own eyes. Every night it just gets worse until I dread going to sleep each night. I've been considering telling dad but just can't bring myself to do so.
Someone knocks on the door.
" Enter!" I scream before they can knock again.
" Hey Lexi. I brought you doughnuts!" my dad said. He brought in a box full of doughnuts.
"Thanks, dad," I replied
"Where were you last night?"
"No where," I replied quickly. I didn't want him to get suspicious.
" Well, I have to go to work." he gives me a hug and leaves.
For some reason, I start wondering around the room and then sit down.
"Lexi!!!!!" something groans beneath me. I jump off and realize that I was sitting on Justin. I rush to his side and start cracking up.
" Sorry sweetie." the smile lingers on my mouth as we walk, hand in hand towards the kitchen. He spun me around and then pulled me close. I gently pull away and hit our breakfast ready.
The silence gets to me and I start thinking about my mom. Out of nowhere, tears blur my view and soon, they're rushing down my cheek.
"Lexi, are you okay?" I hear Justin ask.
" Yea, there's something on my eye and it hurts. I blink rapidly, pretending to get the thing away.
" Are you sure?"
" Yea."
Someday, I thought to myself, I would have to tell them.
