Illusion of my dreams

The jawbreakers

•Erika's POV•

It was a week after my accident and I still wasn't over it. Every morning I woke up panting with sweat all over my body.

Nightmares kept haunting me and I couldn't manage to shake them away. I was just sitting at the bar when suddenly a few atlethic builded men walked up to me, their faces unidentifiable.

In all of the sudden they just grasped me from my stool and threw me on the dirty floor, a knife already in their rough hands.

My life flashed infront of my eyes as soon as I felt the tip of the sleek knife touch my abdomen. I could hear gasps coming from the large crowd of people and my whole world went quiet.

My hands instantly tried keeping the blood from flowing but I could barely keep my eyes open.

The bright discolights flashed into my eyes and the music was echoing trough my mind.

Everything was blurry and I couldn't make out what had happened. And by the time Tom rushed to my side I had already passed out.

It was absolutely terrifying and I thought I was gonna lose my life. I entered the kitchen with a throbbing headache and met gazes with Bill who was already sipping on alcohol.

It was fucking morning.

No one bothered to greet me so I just sat down on the couch next to Calina. She was anxiously playing with her long tangled hair whilst staring infront of her. Ever since the party it had been oddly quiet in here, no one dared to utter a word.

Margot, the girl who usually is very cheerful and energetic had shut down, her lips were always closed, not a single word came from her mouth.

Margot was not the only one who became asocial. Laure, even though she never really was talkative, also became distant.

It seemed like our whole world had turned upside down. Bill became his old sadistic self, Tom became more domestic, the girls became distant and quiet whilst Georg and Gustav kept on getting wasted and stoned. I felt stuck.

Not a single person in this mansion possibly understood what I was going through. I started to feel paranoid, nothing seemed real.

With dazed eyes I looked around the room, scanning every inch. In all of the sudden Tom decided to speak.

" okay listen up everyone."

He started.

" y'all already know about our failed attempt of killing Osuke and his men. But this time we're gonna succeed."

Everyone exchanged gazes because Tom was acting entirely insane.

" Tom no."

Bill immediately hissed from behind the kitchen counter, his tall glass still between his fingers.

" oh put the alcohol down Bill."

Tom snarled at his brother with a bold smirk plastered on his face.

" Bill is right though."

Georg added.

" we can't risk our lives again, just because we have some competition."

He shrugged.

" oh come on guys, we can easily get rid of them. Why shouldn't we try?"

" we already tried, Tom. And we failed."

Gustav sighed with disappointment.

Tom rolled his eyes before trying to convince us again, this time more agressive and fierce.
