I wake up one day to pain in my throat. Not a simple sore throat. A feeling of thousands of thorns ripping through my throat. I ran to the kitchen and got some water in hopes of quelling the pain. It didn't help. I coughed loudly. I coughed and coughed. Coughing out thorns and petals.
Polly came downstairs and her eyes widened. "Basil!? Are you ok??" I couldn't respond to Polly. I couldn't at all. It hurts too much. She quickly made me some tea. That helped. After the pain subsided, I realized that it was Sunny's second to last day in Faraway. I teared up. I didn't want Sunny to leave me. Sunny couldn't leave me.
~later~
Grandma was admitted to the hospital. They are unsure if she will make it. I tear up. First I learn about Sunny leaving then I hear my grandma me may die?!? I can't do this anymore. It's almost enough to break me. I'll stay strong though. If I die now.. Everyone would hurt.
When me and Polly get home, I lay in bed and stare at my ceiling. Tears come to my eyes as I think of everything. Mari, Sunny, Grandma, Aubrey, the others, my family. All of it. The whole kitten caboodle. It hurt. So.. Much.. I started crying. Then, I started to hurt in my throat. Thinking fast, I made myself some tea just as I had finished the tea, the coughing started. I drink the tea, cough out a few more petals, and go lay in my bed.
I cry myself to sleep. I dream of everything I had thought of. It started with Sunny. He.. Said things he wouldn't never say. He said I was annoying and he was leaving because of me. Next, it was Grandma perishing. Her last words were that she never loved me. Then, I saw the others. I ran over crying. I asked them for help but they didn't know who I was. Kel threw a basketball at me to make me go away. I didn't know what was happening.
I shot awake a few moments later. It was 3AM
and I didn't know what to do. I couldn't sleep. Not after the nightmare I had. I just sat in the kitchen, keeping a teapot on a low temperature to keep it warm in case I needed a cup or tea for whatever I have going on with those flowers. Stuff like this makes me wish I had a computer like Sunny.
