Haunted (On Hold)

Chapter 7

*A Week Later*

It's been a week. I just got back to my mom's house. I haven't been myself. I've isolated myself from everyone. I don't know what to do anymore. My nights have been filled with nightmares, every time I close my eyes I'm greeted by the soulless eyes of Vlad. He keeps pushing me farther and farther into the nightmarish land. I'm laying on my bed staring at the ceiling like it's the most interesting thing in the world.

"You really shouldn't just lay there." I snap my head up and look over at the corner of my room.

There stands Andy with his usual smirk. I groan and lay back down.

"I know but it's getting to be too much. That 4-headed thing is killing me in my nightmares."

I said then sighed.

"You'll survive Brooke. You've survived this long." I sit up and look at him.

"Whatever." And with that he just disappeared.

I got up and took a shower and brushed my teeth. After I got out, I put on some black skinny jeans, my Gir shirt, and my knee high converse. I went into the bathroom and did my hair and makeup. I sighed and studied my reflection in the mirror. I then went to my drawstring back and looked in it. My I pad was in there, so I grabbed my phone and money. Then I exit my room and go downstairs. I walk into the living room and see Casper and Oliver playing a game. I crack a small smile.

"Hey guys." They stop their game and look at me.

"Brooky!!" Casper came and hugged me. Then Oliver came over and hugged me. I hugged both of them back.

"Hey what's all the commotion?" I hear my mom yell.

They both let go of me and face my mom.

"Brooklyn's out of her room and smiling a bit."

Mom walks in the living room and hugs me.

"You know your sister missed you."

I nod and pull away.

"Do you believe me?"

My mom looked at me confused. Then the look of realization crossed her face. She stepped back and looked down.

"Brooklyn, I told you to drop it."

Hatred burned in my eyes.

"You should believe me, I'm your daughter." I said coldly.

I walked out the house and headed to the coffee shop. When I got there and went inside, I went to the register. Bethany was on duty. Beth is Miles's sister.

"Hey Brooklyn, haven't seen you in a while. How have you been?"

"I've been pretty good. You?" I said.

"Um, amazing actually. I got a new boyfriend."

"That's good. Who is it?"

Bethany started to giggle.

"Tyler Bradshaw."

I smiled, he's been her crush since forever. I'm happy they finally got together.

"That's great!"

Bethany giggled. "So what can I get you?"

I thought to myself.

"I guess, I'll have a Mocha Latte."

"Oo good choice. That'll be $4.50."

I handed her a 20 and she handed be my change.

"It'll be out in a few."

"Okay. Wait, Bethany."

"Yeah?"
