"Raymond, its mom, are you out? Well, I was just calling to see how you were doing and to tell you that we're coming home a week before Christmas..." The moment I heard this, I felt my water jettison back up my throat, and I cough and sputter, gagging as dropped the glass and wretched over the sink.

"... And we will be staying until after New Year's. Call back when you can, will you? Alright, I love you," and then it clicked off

I came back up, gasping for air and stared wide eyed at the machine. Excuse me? Did that really just happen? I rushed over and punched the button the on machine, and the voice came up again.

"Oh god..." I breathed out, and took a step back when all of the sudden a sharp pain shot through my foot. I sucked in some air, and turned around to the sight of shattered glass on the tile.

"Crap!!!" I shouted, and turned in another direction only to run into a wall. I stumbled out of the kitchen, and bumped against a chair and then tripped over my own feet.

"Come on..." I hissed to myself, and picked myself back up and grabbed a broom from the closet. When I returned I quickly swept it up and dumped it into the bin before placing the set in the corner, and returned to my main problem. A week before Christmas? Good god when was that? I ran over to the refrigerator, and saw that it was a week away.

"You gotta be kidding me," I mutter, and then flew in the direction of the phone and picked it up with the intention of calling Ray. However, I just realized something. Ray never gave me his number. I let out a growl of frustration and tugged at my hair. Seriously? The one night Ray's gone and already things are going to hell. I ran upstairs and tripped on a step. God I really needed to calm down! I stood up, and then slowly walked up the stairs and once I was in Ray's room, I sat on the bed and placed my fingertips to my temples.

"Ok, calm down, get your crap together. It's not that bad, a week right?" I said and stared into my hands.

"Things aren't fine. They're his parent's they won't approve of you." Hissed a malicious voice in my head. I felt myself glare, and I stood up while walking towards his desk.

"Shut up..." I muttered and opened a drawer. No number.

"You know it's true. Just look at you!" it said again I slammed the drawer and opened another.

"Be quiet," I said to myself again. My feet led me towards the bathroom and my hand automatically flicked on the light, where my reflection came into view. I stared at it, and I unknowingly took a step forward. I saw myself, glaring at my own reflection as I placed a hand on the counter top. I heard it again. Letting its vile words pool in its mouth and drip out from the corners of its lips as it extended its disgusting tongue and curl back its lips to reveal its many rows of sharp, pointy teeth.

"See? You know it. Look at you! Not the most stunning person on earth you know," it cackled. I felt my fingers tense on the countertop as I resisted from punching my reflection.

"He loves me..." I said through my teeth. I could see it all. Me being a prisoner in my own mind as my reflection began morphing, twisting into some distorted black beast. The room began to darken and warped as it came closer and closer, backing me against the walls of my cage, reaching out, threatening to touch me with its claw of madness. Don't let it get to you; don't let it come any closer.
