Unwanted

Chapter 18

Have you ever felt like your sleeping, but awake? Surviving, but not living? I have. It's almost as if you're there, but not. You feel everything around you, but your numb inside.

Chapter 18

A week at most. That one thought kept going through my mind. A week at most. To live. But I wasn't ready- I - wasn't ready to die. I haven't even seen the world yet! I wanted- No. Needed to survive this. I knew I could. I survived everything else.

A week at most.

I pounded my feet harder. Pushed my arms back and forth, faster.

Why me? Why am I cursed like this? I knew I'd never find love. But I never once in a million years thought that-that could kill me. Not could. Would kill me.

I ran faster. I needed this thought out of my mind. At least for a little bit.

Running faster and faster past the forest, everything looked like it was in slow motion. The trees zoomed past me like a speeding bullet moving thousands of miles per hour.

I couldn't explain what was happening. Only that it was beautiful. A week at most.

I halted. The wind whipped my hair into my face from behind me.

I was panting so hard from pushing myself. A week at most.

I grunted while grabbing fistfuls of my hair with both of my hands.

A week at most.

A week at most..

A week at most...

I couldn't take the voice in my head any longer.

I screamed.

My scream echoed over the trees and back. The wind started whipping my hair around more fiercely this time. My head was throbbing. Almost as if a hundred different people here hitting my head with hammers.

A week at most....

"Make it stop!" I shouted into the wind. The sky replied with a crack of thunder.

The wind started getting even stronger and the pain in my head hadn't subsided at all.

I gasped as a wind tunnel started circling me. The wind was all around my body, circling me, as if I was the prey. The sky howled as more thunder and lightening now lite up the sky.

My hair was blowing in all different directions, flowing around me in a circling motion with the wind.

A week at most....

I cried out when a pain so unmeasurable hit my head at full force.

I wanted this to end. I wanted it to stop.

I fell to my knees. Unable to stand up from the pain in my head.

I blinked when dust started circling me with the wind, it looked like a tunnel but going straight up, with me inside.

"Nicole?!" I heard a voice shout my name. But it sounded so faint I wasn't sure.

"Nicole!" I heard again, but the voice was closer this time. Was someone out there? They have to leave! Whoevers out there might get hurt!

"You have to get out of here." I muttered. My head hurt to much to shout. I just wanted to make it go away.

"No. No. Not without you." The voice replied. Without me? I'm already gone, don't they see that?

"It feels better this way." I whispered. The pain in my head started going away with the wind and earth getting closer and closer to me.

"Nicole I know it may feel better. But you have to keep fighting. You have to." The voice sounded desperate now.

"Your wrong. I don't have anything left to fight for." I whispered back.

The sky opened up with rain. Hard cold droplets fell onto my face. But I was glad. The cold water relived some of the pain in my head.

I tried looking for the owner to the voice. But all I saw was dust covering all around me, it was flying everywhere.

"I-I think I'm ready to go now." Maybe I haven't lived a full life. But that's okay. I didn't need one. I saw that then. I didn't need to live a full live. I don't think I was meant to. Some people are meant to live long happy lives, but some aren't so lucky. Maybe this was my destiny. It felt better.

"No. No. No. NO!" The voice shouted. But it was to late.

I was already gone.

Don't hate me okay? Short chapter I know. But I wanted something a little more dramatic. Not sure what's going to happen in chapter 19. Anyone have any ideas?
