📍QUEENS, NEW YORK 8AM:
"MAKAYLA wake your ass up i'm not gon tell you again wake up before you late for school" my sister repeated
tossing and turning in my sleep to hear my sister shout at me again shaking me out my sleep which scared tf out of me
tf that was a crazy dream..
stop what are you doing? "i'm up alright you can stop shaking me now flipping scared the shit out of me" i wimped
"yo yo wake your ass up or you gon be late i got places to be what's up with you" my sister asked
erm it's nothing you leaving already? i try to brush off the subject
yeah i'll leave when you tell me wth is going on with you for the past 4 days you keep waking up with a shocked or scared ass face you literally mf jumping out your sleep, what's going on and don't lie to me?
my sister leaned on the wall observing my face as she waited for me to talk i could see she had on her uniform so i ain't gonna do alldat talkin and i know her ass ain't moving until i talk
as i got up heading towards the bathroom connected to my room before i could open my mouth she was already jumping down my throat
"i hop-e it ain't that nigga from your high school that got you acting like this you already know i don't like that funky ass nigga" my sister says
i cut her off "NO zariah i just had a dream/flashback about mum dying" i announced
the room went silent nothing but us locking eyes it was still such a sensitive topic no matter how long ago it was "i just keep seeing mum alive in my dream it's feels so real it's like i can touch her one last time i just find it hard to get over the fact that our father killed our mother" both of us not saying a word
"how much times i got to tell you stop worrying about things you can't control maykayla you literally worry about mum dying like it's your fault listen come here" zariah called
i walk over to her as she place her hand around me comforting me "it's not your fault it was 8 years ago i'm not saying you should forget about it ofc not but you need to stop blaming yourself" my sister said
you think i should still see doctor washington for therapy? i know i stop going and all because you did at the time but this flashbacks are starting to scare me
"yes makayla i think you should listen yeah right after school check it out i got to go otherwise imma be late there's breakfast in the microwave i made you some" my sister say
"cheer up mum wouldn't like to see you sad make her proud" she moves from my room
my sister smiled and walked out the door heading downstairs doing my normal hygiene stuff i time myself i had to be in my car by 9am
