The One Who Picked Me Up

Chapter 3

Felicia's POV

I heard the deafening sound of a gunshot ring through my ears and I sat up in bed. It must have just been a dream...but it seemed so real. I was sweating profusely, and yet, I was shivering out of fear. I started crying. I was still shaking badly, but I couldn't calm myself down no matter how much I tried. I started to get up but instantly collapsed back on my bed.

"Brittany? Are you alright?" My mom asked as she cracked open the door.

Evidently, she heard me crying. When she saw how upset I was, she rushed over to me and say beside me on my bed. She took her hand and started rubbing my back in an effort to soothe me. I buried my head in her shoulder and started sobbing. After about 10 minutes of this, I had calmed down a bit.

"Do you want to tell me what happened?" My mom asked.

I nodded and began to tell, in detail, the dream that I just had. She looked somewhat shocked when I had finished.

"Honey, this Cate, is she bullying you at school?" my mom asked with concern in her voice.

I bit my lip and slowly nodded. My mom took me in her arms as I started crying again.

"Sweetie, why didn't you tell me this before? I could have done something about it." She said. I instantly shot up.

"Oh, Mom, please don't tell anybody. I know for a fact that if you tell anyone about it that it will just get worse!" I pleaded.

My mom looked at me with sympathy in her eyes. "Are you sure? Because I could easily just tell the principle and, more than likely, Cate will get into some serious trouble." My mom asked.

I shook my head yes. "I'm positive." I said although it would be nice to see Cate get punished for her actions.

"Ok, well are you alright? Because it's only 2:30 in the morning and I'm still tired" she said with a yawn.

"Umm...yea. I guess. 'Night Mom" I answered hesitantly.

"Night sweetie." She said back as she closed my door.

I lay back down in bed thinking about the dream I just had. I'm so glad it was just that, a dream. I laid awake staring at my moonlit ceiling for about an hour. Eventually, my eyes closed and I drifted off into a more peaceful sleep.
