Someone is sitting on me.

I can feel the pressure of their butt on my tummy while their hands slowly wrap around my neck.

This isn't real.

Don't open your eyes.

I inhale slowly through my nose, and begin forcing my toes to wiggle first, and then the rest of my body's movements follow.

I spring out of bed, a gasp in my throat while my hands fly to my neck, feeling around it to give myself confirmation that it was just a bad dream, but my head still feels fuzzy.

I look over to Vinnie in our dimly lit bedroom, but he's not there, shooting panic through me.

Where'd he go?!

I kick back the blankets and hop out of bed, stumbling when I land. I walk to the bedroom but I stop when I feel a boop against my leg.

I look down to Finch, who's in a seated position with his eyes up on me, very obviously alerting me that I'm about to have a seizure but I don't care. I pull open my bedroom door and walk out, looking up and down the hallway thats lit up by the overhead lights, just for Finch to alert me again, but more aggressively.

I turn my attention to him and ask, "Wheres daddy?"

Finch sniffles and then sneezes at me, standing up just to sit back down again.

I frown at him, "I'm fine."

I walk away from him, and down the hallway, following the trail of left on lights until I reach the front of the house where the office is. I slow down my pace, lifting my feet to walk on my tip toes when I hear the light tapping of a keyboard coming from the dark room. I stop at the door frame, and after a second of confirming that he's still typing- I peak around the corner. Vinnie sits at his computer in the dark, typing quickly with his eyes focused on the screen.

What's he always doing on that?

I purse my lips and pull back, my mind wandering to the endless possibilities until my head feels extremely light.

I blink while my vision starts to get fuzzy, so I slide down the wall I'm hidden behind and shake my head, trying to pull myself out of my fit when Finch comes jumping on me out of no where.

"Buddy." I mumble to him as I push him off, "You're gonna distract him."

"Distract who?"

I look up to my left to Vinnie leaning against the doorframe, looking casual while he waits for my answer. I sluggishly blink my eyes hard, and reach out to his pant leg to grip onto it as I start to slowly lean without control, but Vinnie quickly bends down and catches my head in both of his hands.

I start to take stuttered breaths as I try to stay with reality, but my body has other plans for me while Vinnie sits down on the floor.

"You're okay, just breathe Cherry." Vinnie coaxes me, his hands putting my head into his lap. "Its been a while but you'll be okay. Im right here."

I feel myself start to shake and from there all the lights go out, for once- I don't feel anything.

When I come to, Im breathing out of control and Vinnie is on the phone, talking rushed into the phone in a hushed tone. I start to move, lifting my still shaking hand to put it on my chest, trying to force myself to take a full breath of air.

"Yea, do you think she needs to up her dosage or anything?"

I blink my eyes and wobbly sit up, Vinnie watching me carefully while I raise my hands to my now screaming head.
