The Trials and Tribulations of a so-called Trouble Teen

Chapter 28 - The Idiot

Last night was terrible for both Maya and I. She kept having nightmares, I kept having nightmares, we both found ourselves struggling to not freak out over it all. I'm definitely very shaken from the whole thing, I'm pretty sure Maya's gonna have another bruise after I started acting out my dreams again. Gross, I'm so tired. I can barely keep myself awake right now. I've spent enough time lying around in bed. It's about half 11 now, so I best be getting a move on with everything. Papá had the courtesy of making my smoothie this morning and leaving it for me to have whenever I got up. A quick breakfast and then stuck into some coursework, perfect.

B: [rings doorbell]

E: [sleeping face first into dining room table]

B: [loudly knocking door]

E: [snoring]

B: Strange... [moves to kitchen door and knocks loudly]

E: [wakes up, scared] What the? [looks] Oh shit, it's you. [gets up to open door]

B: What has you asleep like that?

E: Why do you think?

B: Bad sleep last night?

E: Yep.

B: I was worried something had happened, you didn't answer your phone for over 2 hours.

E: Was I out cold cold?

B: You must've been.

E: It's Friday, I'm exhausted.

B: Evin, it's Tuesday.

E: What?! Aw fuck.

B: What's wrong with Tuesday?

E: I just don't like it.

B: Did something happen to you?

E: I mean, other than a traumatic birth, no, not really.

B: Not like that, I meant more to do with Maya and stuff.

E: Oh her?

B: Yes Evin.

E: Nothing.

B: You're hiding something. What is it?

E: Nothing's happened outside whatever's already happened. 

B: You sure about that?

E: Am I sure about anything?

B: You were sure of drop kicking that student.

E: Shots fired. [sits back] Is there anything you can't do? You've just murdered my entire argument.

B: Are you going to tell me now?

E: There's nothing to tell.

B: I know there's more to the story.

E: My life's a telenovela.

B: That's still a story. 

E: I might've, you know, done something really bad last night that I didn't tell anyone about up until now?

B: What have you done?

E: Maybe had a nightmare so bad that I kicked Maya off the bed and onto the floor but in reality was so unconsciously unaware of my actions I'm not sure if it even happened?

B: Evin...

E: Sometimes I give myself the creeps, I'm psychologically messed up with everything that's happened to me and is currently happening. It's just a sleeping disorder causing the problems, nothing else.
