The Drawing

CHAPTER 1

                     

This is my story, I’m 17 my name is Layla. My mom died about a year ago. I’ve started having dreams  since her death, not bad dreams but not good dreams either. I told my friend about it. She said that whenever I wake up from a weird or complex dream, I draw what I see. My dad has been acting like a complete dick after mom died. I started spiraling. I've started drinking and getting drunk. My dad hasn't noticed because he's always at work and I wish he wasn't. Maybe then he would  tell me he loved me. Me Mya and Ash are going on a little movie date. Mya is my best friend, she always third wheels because she doesn't have a boyfriend yet. Ash is the love of my life. He's perfect in every way and we're basically solmates. My dads parents both died. It was a mystery on how. Nobody knows ,the same goes with my mom.

It was the afternoon of my date, so I decided to take a nap. I had a dream, not a dream like I usually had. When  I woke up I decided to draw my dream. It was like it was straight out of my dream. But I'm not an artist. It looked like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo had a baby and that baby drew my dream. Usually I draw like a toddler. The drawing was of a beautiful lake but something was off about  it. It was the middle of the day and the lake was beautifully glowing. But  the forest was gloomy and hard to see. But what I did see was a pitch black figure with red glowing eyes.  I was completely freaked out by my dream. Later that night I called my boyfriend and told him I couldn't show up. I called  mya and told her I needed her there asap. She spent the night at my place and we just went out, drank and talked about my dream. That night I had a little too much  to drink. When mya and I got home my dad was there waiting for me. He wanted to know where I was, why I didn't answer his calls, and why I smelled like alcohol. We didn't answer his questions and just stormed into my room. I didn't remember anything after that. The next day I woke up to mya asking me what I was doing. I was so confused but when I looked there was another drawing yet I was closer to the lake. At this view you could see a beautiful woman with long blond hair in a blue flowy dress with her young child brown curly hair and a pink dress, On a doc. I thought I recognized the lady but I didn’t know her I think….
I went to my boyfriend's house that night. He was pissed off. I didn't know why. I asked him what was up and he screamed in my face that I texted him drunk, saying that I just wanted to hang out with my bff instead of him. I apologized and left his house. Everyone was pissed off  at me at the moment. I left to go on a bike ride on my trail in the woods but took a different trail than usual. At the end of the trail I ended up at this beautiful opening. It had a cabin, a dock, an ash tree (my favorite kind) with a tire swing around it, and it was surrounded by beautiful trees. I felt like I knew this place. Then it all went black….
I woke up in a daze wondering where I was because I was in a building. It smelt of pine and hot chocolate. When I sat up, no one was there. I looked around and found 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. I looked out the window to see I was alone and in the cabin. Confused as ever I went home and looked at the property documents. Because we own more than two football fields of land. Turns out it is our property. I searched the entire house and only found three things: a key, a lock box labeled documents/ pictures, and a car key. I opened the lock box inside was my dad and his brother???  I had no clue he had a brother this is brand new to me. Not just a brother a twin… what the fuck was my dad thinking not telling me. There also was a picture of me and my mom on a doc. The doc from my dream, that lady was my mom, that girl was me. So who was the dark figure? There's only so much I can unfold with 2 papers. Until I saw a prescription for me…. I didn’t know what it meant so I went to the pharmacy, it turns out to be sleeping pills. Has my dad been drugging me all my life?
