My brothers, my greatest fears

Chapter 10.

Once we got home, Theo carried me inside and put me on the couch. I turned on the TV while Noah and Theo made dinner. I watched stranger things for about an hour until I fell asleep. I woke up to Theo shaking me. 

"Kayla, dinner is ready." he said softly. I got up and went to the dinner table. We all ate dinner in silence. Once I finished I went back to the couch and kept watching stranger things. Ash, Noah, and Theo sat next to me on the couch. I fell asleep on Ash's lap. 

"There she is! Get her!" I heard sirens in the background. It was night and pitch black. All I could think to do was run. I ran and ran for what seemed to be forever. I could still hear sirens, I could see the flashing of red and blue lights. I kept running. The sound of sirens got closer and closer. I was so tired, I couldn't run anymore, but I kept going. Eventually the sirens and lights we're meters behind me. I collapsed under my own weight. 

I woke up in a cold sweat. Jumping up and gasping for air almost as soon as I woke.

"Kayla what's wrong?" Ash said urgently.

"G-get away from me!" I yelled. I didn't realize that it had been a dream. I curled up into a ball and put my hands over my head. I started breathing heavy. 

"Kayla, just tell us what's wrong." Ash said calmly. He wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tight. 

"I had a bad dream." I said quietly.

"Everything is ok now." Ash said. It was 10 PM. I went back to sleep. I woke up on the couch. All the had fallen asleep during the movie. Theo woke up next. He looked at his watch.

"Shit!" he yelled. Ash and Noah woke up. 

"What!? What's wrong?" Noah asked. 

"It's 9 O'clock!" Theo answered.

"Oh god, he's gonna be so pissed!" Ash sighed. I sat there not knowing what was happening. They all ran upstairs. They came back downstairs wearing scrubs. Then they ran out the door without saying a thing to me. 

I went into the kitchen to make myself breakfast. I decided I was going to make pancakes since I knew how to make them. While I was making the pancakes, I burnt myself on the stove. I sighed. "They don't have to know." I said to myself. I put my hand under the sink faucet, then turned on the water. The spot I burnt myself on was all red. They would definitely notice.

I ran upstairs and put a band aid on it so that they couldn't see it. I smelled something burning. I left the pancakes on the stove! I ran downstairs the pan was filled with fire. I poured water on it. The flame went out. A bunch of water was still on the pan. It started boiling and bubbling. A drop of water splattered at me and hit me on the cheek, burning it again. How was I going to keep this from the boys!?

I somehow got the hot pan into the sink without further hurting myself. I accidentally spilled some water on the floor but I didn't clean it up. I sat on the couch and started watching Stranger things. Suddenly a message appeared on the TV. It had been the last episode! I was close to crying. I finished my favorite show! I went to the kitchen and accidentally bumped into a glass. It fell and shattered on the floor. Then I slipped and landed on the tiny shards of glass.

It was only 11 AM and this was already a horrible day!
