It's been a month after that fateful day, and I've completely gone mad. I think.

Calum's very gorgeous parents, (oh the genes, I must mention) Mr. and Mrs. Hood brought Calum home along with his very own life support which Ashton, Michael and the others kids from school already vandalised with stupid messages.

Mr. and Mrs. Hood didn't mind them doing such crime against Calum's peaceful slumber. They even gave them permission to play rock music in his room, thinking maybe he'd react to it and finally open his eyes.

This just made me roll my eyes.

I thought it was mad. I mean, what on earth were they thinking? Them letting those not mentally sound chimps wreak havoc in Calum Hood's room was beyond me. Don't get me wrong, we're all in the same page here.

Eventually, I realised how desperate they must be that they'd try anything just for him to wake up. Even I would do anything even if it sounds mad just so I could have my dear love look at me again.

Oh Calum.

Although I hated it at first, I learned to appreciate their slovenly written messages everytime I read them whenever I come by and visit Calum.

Wake up, mate!

Slumber party's over!

What kind of whiskey have you downed this time?

Yeah, very funny. Those blokes must be rushed to an instituion and have them all wear straitjackets. But it was good that they are all positive about him waking up someday. Still, I think they should be isolated from people. An asylum sounds better. And maybe I should come with them too.

Because I, undeniably, have gone insane.

I've been having dreams... Visions even. I kept thinking that maybe it was because I am missing the love of my life so much that my brain has decided to addle with my thoughts and, not to mention, my dreams.

Ugh.

About a week ago, I dozed off during class after three days of depriving myself of sleep just so I can take care of my dearest one at the hospital during the night. Even before my sleepless state, my head was already pounding and I think the lack of sleep wasn't really helping at all. So, my body ended up succumbing to the throbbing pain on the back of my head, which started since I'm not certain when. As far as I can remember, it has always been like this, although I don't pay it too much attention for it eventually disappears in time. At this, I downed two pills for my chronic migraine and then I was asleep.

The dream I had then was a tad bit unclear. All my head could conjure from my pool of memories was seeing hundreds of faces I've never seen before. So unfamiliar faces.

And the other night, I had the same dream. It was the same but that time, it was clearer. It was like having to wear eyeglasses for the first time. It felt so real, my dream. It was like I watched a scene in the movie that marked a place in my mind. It was so vivid that I can replay it in my head and remember every frigging detail of it.

Alas! Today, I feel under the weather again and I think a short nap will be of great help. I bow my head on my desk after making sure that class is over and that everyone milled out of this lousy excuse of a classroom.

As soon as I drifted off to sleep, I was readily transported in to the fictitious world of my dreams. It was as if this dream is just waiting for me to close my eyes.

I was in an open area. I don't know if it was open, it was dark everywhere except on the spot where I stand... or float? Hover? I can't tell, I don't see any floor touching the soles of my feet. Anyway! My whole body started illuminating. There was this kind of sheen within my very skin, lighting up the dark endless corridor where I was. Cool, right? But I admit it was a bit creepy. And then again, it was just a dream.
