" Do it." Harry said looking straight to me, his pale green eyes now bloodshot from tears threatening to spill.
My hands were trembling as I pointed the gun towards Harry's heart.

"I-I can't..." I said crying and looking at the ground.  I can't even to explain the pain I felt in my chest.

"DO IT!" He screamed.

I quickly woke up from from the dream, and realized I was in the comfort of my bed and  the noise of the girls slowly filled in my ears, but there was another noise, the noise of drops of water hitting the glass windows in my bedroom.

Everything was agitated and busy this morning because we are in the middle of October and it's time for us to attend school and some of them having tests today,  so they are checking each other's answers and getting the last details right.

Well, it's time for everybody's tests, including mine , but I've been sick... Or just skipping school.

I had to change to other school this year because was closer and safer to home than the other I was in, and it sucks that my senior year is going to be in a very different school and with very different people than I thought.

Plus, my birthday is on 26th October and once I turn 18 they will find me a house to live in and I will have to apply to the blood bank, a thing that I'm not really looking foward to do because that will make me confront my past and I will,probably, end up killing the vampire that the software system chooses for me or, getting myself killed because I'm way too stubborn to let him do what he wants.

I didn't open my eyes just yet , I was just... thinking way too hard about life and enjoying being in the comfort and warm of my bed when Miss Dudley came in.

"Time to go to school, Thea. " Her voice gentle as she informed me and opened the curtains.

"Don't forget to dress your coat today, it's a rainy day." She said and left the bedroom.

I wonder if Miss Dudley is ignoring the fact I just went two days missing or if Elena really took care of that matter.

I looked to the digital clock by my side and it marked 7:45 am, got out of the bed and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower that later would turn into the "Chamber of Random Thoughts". I undressed myself and placed the clothes on the toilet tamp.

Then, I entered the shower and stood there looking at the white marble wall, washing myself and seeing all the dirt run to the drain and disappearing through it.

After I was done I sat on the shower floor and let the hot water hit my back for some minutes while I thought about random things.

What if alien abductions are just the aliens' version of fishing? 

I remember I have to got to school so I made an attempt to move my arm, but my body was too relaxed to even move a muscle towards the shower door.

I just wanna be here all day. 

With a true effort I get up, open the shower door,wrap a white towel around my body, pick up my clothes and go to my bedroom.

The bed looks like it's missing me.

I thought and let myself fall on the soft bed and turned to my side to see the window full of little drops of water and, for a moment, a feeling of empty sadness seems to take over me. 

Like, it literally came out of nowhere, it was like I kept being forced to go back to the week that followed my parents murder. A mix of rage, sadness and numbness at the same time.
