I jolted awake to the sound of my ringtone sweat covering my whole body, my breath caught in the remnants of a haunting nightmare. I sight in relief taking in my surroundings, the familiar room bathed in the morning sunlight as my eyes adjusted to the space around me. My fingers clutched to the edges of my bed sheets , the fabric whispering reassurance against my trembling hands , my tongue tasted like fear and weakness an echo of the nightmare that pulls me back in the shadows of my past every time the darkness settles opening a path for my demons to reach me .
The air felt heavy in my lungs and I could feel the heavy weight of invisible burdens, echoes of a time when vulnerability was synonymous with betrayal. Memories came back rushing while I tried so hard to push them to the back of my head , my heartbeats echoed in my ears like a distant drum and my breathing started slowing as the sound of the bedside clock's ticking became a rhythmic chant that brought me back to the present . I focused my gaze on familiar items in the room seeking solace in reality. Yet the nightmare made the memories glued to me like a second skin never willing to let go.
I press a still trembling hand to my chest as I feel the tendrils of fear loosen their grip and the slight vulnerability that was exposed in those moments spreads away like the shadows of the dark night being chased by dawn.
A morning routine that I am familiar with.
Once back to my normal state I grab my phone and check my messages and e-mails, not that I have many most of them are from work.
I check the time 7:00 am just in time for breakfast, a message pops up.

Morning sleeping beauty!
yo as soon as you get up come over to Damien's .
You are staying over for the night, no negotiation.
I answer with a quick okay then stand up hearing my mom calling for breakfast. I take a shower , get dressed then go downstairs to find all my family at the table minus Elijah my big brother who has been gone for like two months now as it had something to do with work but I don't get the details because I'm not to be involved in business stuff , so there is me my mom and dad without forgetting little Ava who's soon turning ten , we eat in silence , well they eat because I never eat anything in the morning , I know it's a bad habit but I can't help it nausea always wins over , I put the fork I was playing with and clear my throat .
-I am staying at Damien's tonight. I announce.
-Alright, don't forget your morning training before heading out. my dad answers after swallowing his food.
They don't have a problem with me staying at my friend's because my parents are friends with their parents and it is not too far from our house I just got to tell them before going. As said, I go up to my room and put leggings with a bra sport then go down to our gym where my coach is already waiting for me. We train for about two hours then I head to my room, shower then get in my car taking the way to Dante's with two black cars full of security following me. When I get to the estate I park in the hallway and head inside not bothering to knock.
