The Truth That I hide, The Pain Of Regret

She woke up to the sound of her own screams echoing in her ears, a cold sweat coated her body. The images of Quinn, with her icy eyes and malevolent smile, haunted her every thought. She was a threat, no she was a danger to herself and everyone around her.

As she lay back, trying to catch her breath, the early morning rays began pouring into her body, reflecting the agony of her unmerciful nightmare. She couldn't shake the feeling of dread that settled in the pit of her stomach. The memory of her when she was standing in front of her, sent a shiver down to her spine. She made it clear that she was not to be trifled with, and Rebecca knew that she had for now to tread carefully if she wanted to keep herself and her friends safe.

The events of the previous day played out in her mind like a horror movie, each scene more terrifying than the last. The way that she tricked her into believing that she was there for a nice surprise, her laughs, gripes, kisses and touches, were still crawling around her skin. The way she forced herself into her mind, with her eyes glinting with malice as she brandished a weapon that gleamed in the dim light.

She knew that she had narrowly escaped a fatal worst than death, and the thought sent a chill down her spine. But even in the safety of her own bed, she couldn't shake the feeling of unease that settled over her like a heavy fog. She knew that it is only a matter of time before she would contact her again, she knew that she's lurking somewhere in the corner, like a shadow that couldn't perish with light.

As she rose up and sat on her bed, her eyes frightenedly turned and glanced at her phone. It was buzzing and flashing like a lightbulb that was about to burst out. She was afraid to check out her messages, she was terrified from the devil itself. All she wanted was a peaceful and calm day, just a day she said, a day were her mind omits all of the things that she was afraid of, a day were her heart could beat normally.

Regardless of what she had hoped for, her phone continued on receiving messages. Each buzz reminds her of each word that she heard last morning. It was strangling her body each moment in time. The air was getting heavier, her breath was increasing rapidly, her heart was pounding against her chest, as her hands uncontrollably pressed against her head. She closed her eyes tightly, she clenched her hands as she tried to push herself away from everything, but unfortunately her phone was the evil that resides within her room.

The agonizing buzzing, was still hitting her from every corner. She hoped that someone would burst into her room right now and save her, but none was there, as her house itself was constructed from viciousness. As the clock was ticking, she found herself submerged into a pool of trepidations, she couldn't control herself anyone, she lost the sense of her own body. Unconsciously, she let out a loud scream, which struck every single corner of her room. It was full of pain, fear and anger, it was a scream that she has held since that day.

-As she kept letting out everything that she has suppressed within, her door suddenly slammed open, as a lady was rushing towards her. Without any questions to ask, she immediately sat in front of her and held both hands. She was caressing them gently, she was pulling her towards her chest, she was the angel that she had been waiting for ever since she opened her eyes. "Becky" she called softly "I'm here". The moment she heard her voice, Rebecca immediately stopped screaming, as she slowly opened her eyes. She lowered her hands, as she held Irin's blouse, her eyes burst into tears, finally letting out everything that she held within.

She kept crying, while Irin kept stroking her hair, trying to calm her down. It wasn't that long until she had finally calmed down, as her hand slowly loosen up and fell into her lap. Irin knew that she had fallen asleep, but she didn't dare to move away. She kept embracing her, as long as she could, she wanted to be there for her always. While Rebecca was sleeping, Irin's eyes fell on the phone that was placed on the nightstand. She noticed the amount of messages, which turned her curiosity on, as if she was a cat that's about to hunt its prey.
