|Monster|

Always

I quickly wiped the remaning tears before my mother eruptly comes into the bathroom.

"Honey you scared me! Do you know what time it is? Is everything okay??"

I can't tell her what I saw. That thing I saw. That monster. The image replays over and over in my head. If I tell her what I saw she will make me go back to the doctors and put me back on those pills again.

"I'm fine just came to use the bathroom that's all."

"Your bleeding sweetie what the heck happened?!"

"Oh you know clumsy me I triped over that dumb trash can."

My mother gives me this odd strange look and we stand there in silence for a couple of seconds but it felt like an eternity.

She finally breaks the awkward silence with the usual Go to bed honey. After she leaves back to bed I glance at the mirror again. Was that thing real? That image quickly comes back into my head. I quickly shake it off and head back to my room.

I jump in my bed and sligtly start dozzing off. But something is here. Something is watching me... I want to look but can't. I'm scared for what might be on the other side. I take a deep breath preaping for what suprise awaits me. I finally turn and realease a sigh of relief. Nothing is there...stupid late night paranoia.

I return to my original sleeping position. And there it is again that thing looking straight at me. Im paralized no scream no moving I can't. It's dark I can't see it clear enough but it says something.

"I'll always be here"

I shut my eyes as tears manage to make its way down my cheek. And when I open them the thing is no longer there. What is wrong with me? Is all of this real?.

That voice. It almost sounded human. It can't be human. It just can't. I quickly sit up on my bed my hand over my face. I can't go back to my old days my messed up days I just can't!.

Why did it say he will always be here. I don't want it to come back ever.

I shut my eyes trying to get those recent events out of my head that thing out of my head.

Finally I doze off into a dreamless sleep.
