She brings Chaos

Chapter 2

Arriving home, I closed my door behind me and leaned against it. Allowing myself to finally let out what I had been feeling while at the hospital. All the pain and anger about my mom, all the helplessness I was feeling because I couldn't do anything and I wished I could do more. I wished I could take away all her pain and sickness, to make her better again. My body began shaking with sob after sob as I slid down the door and onto my knees, tears streaming down my face. Leaving hot trails as they made their way from eyes. I wished that I had more time with her because she's not only my mother, but my best friend and the person I count on the most.
I shakily raise myself from the floor and make my way to my room and sit on the edge of my bed. Still crying, I raise my hand to my mouth as if that would quiet my cries, even though there's no one around to hear me.
I take a deep breath and try to calm my cries and stand and take my jacket off, and look at myself in the mirror. Looking back is a face with red puffy eyes and pain. Someone who didn't know what they were gonna do.
I push away and go to my bathroom and turn the shower on hot and start undressing. I step in and feel the of the water hit my skin as silent tears get washed away by the water. With my face to the spray of the water I recall memories of growing up and all the times my mom has been there for me. From losing my first tooth, and graduating high school. I never went to college because my mom got sick soon after I graduated and I was all she had since dad died my sophomore year. I took care of her, was there for her when she needed me, right by her side and her right by mine.

After my shower I'm walking towards my room when another sharp pain through my head, except this time it's worse than the before. "Aah!" I continue my way back to my room but before I make it to the door I feel another sharp pain but worse and not stopping. "GAAH!!! What- what's happening?" I fall to the floor holding my head as everything spins and blurs in front of me. I try to stand but have no luck and fall to the floor once again. I've never experienced anything like this before. Things start spinning more and becomes more blurry, the sharp pain reaching an overwhelming level.

After a while the pain starts to subside and I pull myself from the floor, and into my bedroom breathing heavily trying to catch what breath I could. I look at myself in the mirror but what was looking back was something unexpected. It was me, but at the same time it wasn't. My look of shock and confusion weren't be reflected back, instead was what looked to be me but smilingly in an unsettling way. "What....how?" I say quietly aloud and step closer and reach towards the mirror. "Boo!" Was all I heard before everything went dark.

"Jorie..."
"Hahaha....weak"
"WAKE UP"
My eyes open as I gasp for breath and start coughing. I frantically look around, not sure where I'm at. I look down and notice that I'm still wrapped in my towel from when I took a shower. Around me is nothing but trees and woods and I have no clue how I got where.
I stand up and look around, for what, I'm not sure. "What happened?" I say to myself. I start walking in a direction I hope will lead me away from the middle of the woods. My head hurts as if I'm hungover after a night of drinking.
As I walk, I get this eerie feeling that I'm being watched. "Hello?" With no response back, I continue to walk but the feeling never goes away. I look behind to make sure there's no one there but as I turn my head a see something move. "Who's there? Show yourself!" My body ridden with fear but also determination, I stand my ground. "Show yourself whoever you are!" And from behind a tree steps out someone I wasn't expecting, which left me very confused. "Dr. Jackson?"
