Sunshine peaked through the window of my meager room. The bed that i was laying on was as soft as a babies bottom, and my pillow was light and squishy. I hadn't slept this good in a long time. When i got up to put my hoodie on, there was a knock at my door. "Come in!" I hollered. Chrissy Walked in carrying a cup and a bowl. "I made you some vanilla tea, and for the side a bowl of brown sugar oatmeal with strawberries on it." She smiled warmly and put it on one of the desks in my room. "Thank you! I really appreciate it!"
"Of course Alex."
As she walked out i got a hint of her fruity perfume. It smelled like ripe peaches mixed with crisp strawberries. As i took in the smell, i began to feel sad. Grandma. It smelled just like her. I really hope she's guiding me down the right path. If she saw me right now...actually never mind, i don't know what she'd say. But i do know that she wouldn't be proud. I mean i wouldn't blame her. I ran away, i left my little sister behind with my abusive, alcoholic parents and somehow hope to live in the city for the rest of my life. Yea no. I don't know what i'm doing. This days going to feel different. Not just for me, but for Sophie as well. Go home. Go home. Now. What the fuck am i thinking?! I can't even get back now! What am i going to do?! What will i say?! I put my hands over my face and then picked up my spoon and started eating. It tasted sweet but bitter at the same time. I took a sip of the tea, my mouth watering. My eyes widened, "Oh my gosh this is so good." I whispered. In the corner of my eye Chrissy was sitting on my bed. I spun around in shock. "Oh hi Chrissy..." She put her finger to her lips, motioning me to be quiet. Holy shit. Is she really a good person? What if she kills me? Oh my god. "Why can't i talk?!" I snapped. She narrowed her eyes directly at me and removed her hand from her lip. "You will find out soon."
I shivered.
"What do you mean?!"
"You will see."
"What the fuck are you talking about Chrissy?!"
"Shhhh."
"NO!"
I felt my face getting hot, and i couldn't hold it in any longer. "AAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
I screamed at the top of my lungs and didn't stop. She didn't look fazed at all, which scared me. "Are you finished?" she questioned.
I flipped her off. "Fuck you. Fuck your life. Fuck yourself. Fuck me. Fuck your house. Goodbye!"
I slammed the door as hard as i could.
That ladies weird. I looked around, confused. I walked to the right and saw no exit to her store. It was a long narrow hallway...leading somewhere? Suddenly the lights flickered. "Uhm...That's strange." Then they went pitch black. Great. Creepy, but great."Now what?!" I snarled. I started to hear a voice. "Hello?"
I heard something, but i couldn't quite figure out what it was. "Hello?!" I repeated a little louder. Suddenly i felt someone grab my shoulder. ALEX DO SOMETHING! "WHO ARE YOU?! WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" I demanded. "Everything will go away." The voice said. "You Won't feel anything"
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!"
"Alex everything is going to be okay. Trust me."
"Tell me what's going on, please!!" I wanted to know who this mysterious person was. "You will understand later."
"Why?! I'm scared... please don't hurt me. I left my sister, i need help. I want her back. I want to go home. Please." The room went quiet, and all i could hear was myself breathing. I burst out crying. Grandma, please forgive me. I'm sorry. I need your help though. I don't know where i am. Please. I love you. I felt a tingly feeling in my tongue, and then my feet, and i felt like i was going to pass out. My eyes slowly shut. Uhm...strange. I can't see or feel anything but i can hear. I'm so fucking scared though, don't think i'm not. I'm just pretending that i'm not scared so i don't get myself scared. If that makes any sense at all.
"The voice person, hello? Can you hear me?"
I trembled. No response whatsoever. Great, i'm stuck in this random darkness, i don't know where i'm at, i can't see, i can't feel my body, and i'm fucking scared!!! What the hell could happen next?! Everything is just going wrong. One after another. "1..."
I heard someone.
"2..."
Are they counting?
"3..."
Oh shoot. They are.
"4..."
Please don't tell me i'm gonna die.
"5..."
What is going on?
"6..."
Uhm...?!
"7..."
"Alex trust your instincts."
"8..."
"Think of a memory that made you beyond happy."
"9.."
"Think of that one person..."
"10..."
"Take one last deep breathe."
