Close your Eyes

Chapter 1: Close Your Eyes•*•* 

---------------

It was very late well, it could also be taken that it was very early. Considering it was too early for me to be awake because I had school in in the morning but sleep wouldn't come to me. It had never been easy for me to sleep ever since...,

I looked over at my clock in bright red and blue numbers it read; 1:37 A.M. I had to be up at 6 and exams were soon enough for me to have to start cramming it up. I woke up and went downstairs to make some hot coco it -for some weird unknown reason- helped me sleep going back up the stairs and laying back down I closed my eyes and saw darkness and tossed and turned then I eventually sat still for a while....then a minute.....then two. Sleep finally came to me.

•*•Dream•*•

"Hey!"

I heard someone yell at..me? The voice was coming from someone a distance away I turned my head in both directions. I was in a field of flowers of all colors like a rainbow. It was beautiful but the person yelling was distracting me an making it impossible to focus on the beauty here.

"Hey!"

The voice yelled again.

I shrugged my shoulders and yelled back. Couldn't anything evil be here my brain told me.

"Hey I'm this way!"

I heard the call and saw a figure as it came closer and into view i realized and shuddered it was my friend Cassandra from 3 years ago she died in a car crash and ever since then I haven't been the same. She was one of my only friends at the time and I lost her and as she ran to me I was extremely happy for once in my life. You know the corny slow motion runs in romance movies? That's how we ran to each other. We embraced and-

*•*•*•*

I woke up. I don't know if I wanted to wake up to prevent it from sinking in that she was never coming back but then I realized that I didn't want to wake up because inside I wished that she could. I glanced at the clock 4:21. I could go back to sleep if i wanted but for some reason I decided not to. I decided to get up and start my day because I figured after a dream like that sleep would be even harder to find.

I walked over to my closet and picked out my outfit in my closet they are organized by day today's choice of outfit was a light blue tee shirt that had the words 'Fly High' on it in black and some white skinny jeans along with a pair of black flats with a black bow for my brown hair.

I walked out if my room into the hall and immediately started tripping on my little brothers skateboard and cursing loudly.

"Watch your mouth young lady!"

My mom yelled at me from her room.

'Well then tell Derek to move his damn skateboard out of the hall." I mumbled

"What did you say?"

"Nothing."

I hated my mothers stupid hawk ears. I got in trouble more times than I can count due to the way I grumbled and my mom just caught every word it was a trait I hadn't gotten. I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen and hunted for my stash of cereal. Yes, I said my stash due to the act that my brother always pulled that caused me to start doing so.

I used to leave my cereal out until one day I noticed that my cereal had no marshmallows in it. I sat there dumbfounded looking at the star shaped cereal with its missing tidbits of goodness. My brother bounded down the stairs.

"Good morning dear sister!"

I knew that he had something to do with it. Just by the way he greeted me.
