The next week my dad's messages got angrier....And yes I did never respond back to him the whole week....
Dad: Paige I am going call the police if you never respond back to me about your mum. What are you doing? Has your stupid cancer come back?
Then I got another message.
Dad: Paige I am sorry about how angry you are...but to say more about your mum and I should have said this to you.... but your mum is dead...... she died from having a heart attack......
I felt weird about what my dad said.... Like why was he being so nice to me all of a sudden. Usually, he screams and curses at me. I ended up texting him back asking which hospital she was at, and my dad ended up telling me which hospital she died at.
I drove to the Simmons Hospital because apparently that was where she died, and the doctors showed me her body. I felt many emotions of sadness...I could not fully believe that my mum had actually died....All my mum's bad things she has said to me did not matter once she died...I knew that if someone died you really do have to process the sadness of what happened. I was devastated.
Days then followed up until where she eventually had her funeral....I need to find some way of processing my grief....
At the funeral I saw something very strange. But I tried to just pretend it was my imagination. There were bright flashes of colours that resemble a rainbow and strange stars.
I heard voices of something that resembled a growling monster....A voice of someone who seemed to just be growling my name which I thought was very creepy.
I looked around and my aunt smirked, and she put up the middle finger. I was so confused by all this.....
The next morning, I had a nightmare of walking through the rain in the city and I had come across a tunnel. Rain poured through the brick walls that formed the tunnel. I was also feeling quite cold, and I noticed I was shivering very suddenly.
"Hello?" I called out anxiously because I felt very out of control. But no one was there to respond.
But then suddenly I felt the sharpest pain in my back and then I fell.
I then woke up from the dream and I had a massive headache...
