Haunted (On Hold)

Chapter 6

I wake up and find myself in the hospital. I look around and see Casper and Mom kind of sleeping. I look at my leg and notice it in a cast. 

Oh my gosh, what happened?!?!?!

I move a bit and make sure I don't wake them. I look on the floor and realize, I'm going to be in so much trouble when Mom wakes up. I see my phone and bag on the floor next to her. There both really dirty. I finally get up off the bed and hop over to them. Casper looks at me horrified and relieved.

"What are you doing up?" He whispered

"Trying to get my bag and phone. Wait, am I in trouble?" I whisper back.

He shakes his head no.

"Brooklyn, I so sorry I didn't believe you when you told me that your dad abused you. Mom's sorry too." He whispers to me.

"How did you know or find out?"

"I went out a little after 4 in the morning and saw him beating you. I called the police and they came. I'm amazed that you can even hop around."

"I've had enough practice to put 95% of the pain that I'm in away from feeling it. Yeah it still hurts a bit but not as bad as it could."

"Brooklyn?"

I'm face to face with my mom.

"Hi."

"What are you doing up?"

"Trying to get my phone and bag."

"Oh, why didn't you wake one of us up? We could have brought it to you."

"I thought I was in trouble."

"No sweetie, of course not. We kind of figured you needed space. To think things through, but now we have to figure out why you tried to..."

I got mad again but this time furious. My own mother thinks that I tried to commit suicide.

"I wasn't trying to kill myself!! My life's not that bad!!!"

"We know that you're denying it. We talked to a doctor and they said that you're probably denying it. If you need to talk to someone, I'm here, your brother's here, and some of your friends are here."

I can't believe this!! Why wouldn't I deny if I was trying to kill myself?!?! Gosh, I hate this so much. 

I grab my bag and phone and take it over to the bed. I get on my ipad. Ignoring my mom. I can't believe she still thinks I was trying to....

Why bother denying, if she doesn't want to believe you? I look up reports on deaths. It feels so weird trying to figure this out on my own. I glance up to look out the window but I catch a glimpse of a figure. My eyes get wide. I quickly look back at my Ipad.

"What are you doing?" I look up and see my mom standing by me.

"N-nothing." My mom looks down at my Ipad and screams.

"Brooklyn, why did you cut yourself!?!?!" I look at her shocked.

"I didn't!" Then I feel a sting on my wrist and warm liquid dripping down. I look at my wrist and its cut and bleeding really bad. "I didn't...." Once again I blacked out and when I did, I wished I was awake.

~~~~~~~~(Nightmare)~~~~~~~

"Welcome back."

I look up and see the lady from my other dream.

"What do you want from me?! Why won't you leave me alone?!?!" I screamed at her.

The lady just laughed.

"You escape too easliy my dear. Too easy. So I hope you enjoy your nightmares. Vlad being one of them and I."

My eyes widen in fear. I was put through nightmare after nightmare nothing seemed to slow down. I felt as if I was going to go insane! I couldn't say anything just scream. I found my voice for a second.

"Please stop." It came out as a soft whisper but for some reason it echoed.

Everything seemed to stop.

~~~~~~(End of Nightmare)~~~~~~

I woke up in a cold sweat. I was terrified completely. I looked around and it was dark outside and dim in the room. I spotted something in the corner of the room. It was that boy. The ghost boy!

Oh my gosh, what is his name?

I couldn't think of it.

"Why is this happening?"

"Because......You're special."

I stared at the boy.

Did he just seriously answer me?

"Really now? This is too much. I can't do this Andy!"

He looks at me for a little bit.

"Yes you can."

And with that he left. He just disappeared. I just stare. What do you expect me to do? I can't believe he talked to me.

"Brooklynn, you're up!"

I look over and see my mom. She comes up to me and hugs me. I hug her back. Then we pull apart.

"Brooklynn, we almost lost you again. But the doctor said that you would more than likely pull through. You scared us though."

"I'm sorry Mom, but believe me when I tell you I didn't do that to myself."

I looked down at my stiched wrist. I showed her.

"I didn't do this."

"Brooklynn, please. Just let it go."

"You don't believe me, do you?"

My mom just looked at me and walked out of the room. I felt tears run down my face.

She's doesn't believe me.
