"It's a dream,it's always coming back,"

"My mom lying  on the floor and I come and weep as she breathes her last.Just then,a dark figure with fangs and all long,black and sharp finger nails, grotesque in nature and his sapphire eyes turn coal black regardless of the iris or the white,it was all dead black as he stabbed me with his sharp nails.I lie next to my mom in a pool of blood as the grotesque creature walks away," I explain to ms.Rosè,my therapist

"Well ms.Raven,have you ever clearly seen this creature's face?"she asks noticing the timid or maybe depressed look on my face.To be honest she was right,I'm terribly horrified right now.

"No.It's always a blur,I've never made an image out of it.It's just so confusing," I say."What is?"she asked.

"The dream,it keeps coming back like its some kind of vision yet it's only a dream," I explain trying not to sound too horrified."Raven look,"she paused and took off her glasses,"I know what you're feeling right now.You are in dire need of the truth and all I can make out of this dream is that;very bad things are going to happen to you,"she says and I feel like my heart just skipped a beat.

I was timid when I walked in here hoping that I'd come out feeling better but I got out feeling as terrified as hell.What type of bad things did she mean?Well she could've at least given me a number on the scale of one to ten.

I walk out of the building and to my car in the parking lot.Once I enter it,I sit down to take in all that I've just heard.For someone who's from attending therapy,I'm terribly stressed.

I check my phone and there's are 15 text from three different people; Leah(my best friend),Jace(my boyfriend)
and finally mom.I ignore all Jace and mom's texts since I'll soon be driving there and read Leah's.

Leah:Hey Raven,I'm having trouble picking an outfit for my date, help me.
She's such a drama queen.

Leah:Raven,why aren't you replying or showing up,I'm f****n freaking out and Chase will be here any minute.
Wow, that's my drama queen

Leah:Oh wait,I got an outfit,catch ya later

I laugh at this last one though that's what happens between us all the time due to her drama Queen ness. She acts all dramatic about something,I act to be busy and she figures out everything on her own though I didn't ignore her intentionally this time,I had just left my phone in the car when I went to attend therapy.

I first drive to Jace's since he may either be worried sick or angry or both.After a thirty minute drive,I park just in front of the apartment building where he owns an apartment.

I organize my fringe only since I put my dark hair up in a pony tail and then I add a little mascara to my eyes and lip gloss on my lips.I then step out of the car,walk there and after one hell of an elevator ride,I reach his door and lightly knock.

"Hey babe," he greets me with a kiss as he let's me in.I sit on his dark brown leather couch and he also comes to sit next to me."So,how'd it go with the therapist ,"he asks after noticing the depressed look on my face.

"It was nice," I lie with a fake smile plastered on my face.For all the twenty years I've lived on earth lying is my number one hobby if I'd even call it that.Jace Holloway,lanky but kind of muscular, emerald eyes  and spiky hair.He is my beloved boyfriend and loves me but he has one problem which I won't mention if God helps me and he doesn't bring it up.

Just then,I receive a text from mom
Mom:Raven,where are you?I'm worried sick.

She's the other drama queen in my life though she is actually right,it's already 7:37pm meaning it's late.

Me:Be right there in 30 minutes,stop worrying. I simply reply.

"Your mom," he asks."yup,she's such a drama queen,"I reply.

"You know,though you keep turning me down,I'll keep asking," oh no here we go,"to stop all this drama queenness, just move in with me,babe,"he says.Why can't he just leave that issue?He knows that every time he brings it up,we always end up fighting.Even though I'm twenty years old at college,I still want to live with my mum.I'm all she has since my dad left us and married another woman.The worst part is that he left with my young brother Ryan Anderson.I miss him so much,Ryan especially,dad not so much.

I've told Jace more than a hundred times why I can't leave my mum but he just keeps asking maybe because he thinks its that simple.After he says what he said,I shoot him a glare and I get up to leave.He grabs my wrist and holds me back.

"Hey,where are you going?" he asks.

"Where do you think," I pause,"Back home to my mother if you're still wondering,"I sarcastically assert.

"You're such a baby,you're above eighteen but you keep going back to mommy,Can't she just get a Friend with Benefits to give her company coz you'll eventually leave that place," he says.

Did he just.....okay he's crossed the line!I slap his cheek and he immediately let's go of my wrist and holds his now red cheek."What the heck,"he shouts."I'm calling it quits,that's the heck," I say and storm off.

I enter my car and start crying. My mascara is now ruined and I already regretted using it because I wear glasses. I  just wanted to look good for Jace and now here I am crying after we've broken up. I drive back home and explain everything to mum. My mom is like the nicest person you'll ever meet and leaving her is one hard step.After telling her my sob story she hugs me to comfort me,Of course her hugs always work.

After,we have pizza for dinner and I go upstairs and have a nice long shower to take away the pain. I'll tell Leah tomorrow on our way to school,she's my best friend so she ought to know since she's always been there for me.
When I'm done showering,I put on my pyjamas and sit in bed thinking about today's events;my breakup and therapy that just made me feel worse. I finally drift to sleep.
