My safety blanket

Chapter 10

"No no no. Please no." I cried and cried. Tiarna isn't dead. She's alive. She was just with me, she came back. She's alive. She isn't dead. She can't be. No. "Stop lying to me" I cried out, tears rolling down my wet cheeks. "She's alive, she came back. Don't lie." I pushed the police officer that stood at my front door. I didn't mean to get violent but he'd just come to tell me that my Best Friend had died when I knew that she wasn't. "STOP LYING TO ME. ALL OF YOU" I yelled, my voice breaking from crying so hard. I ran past the police officer and ran to Tiarna's house. She went home to get her beauty sleep. She's only asleep.

I knocked on her window. The knocking turned into banging and I started to make the window shake. She wasn't coming to the window. She always came to the window. I ran to the front door and knocked on the door. The door opened to show a distressed and broken Emma. Tiarna's mum.

"No" I stood there looking at her, tears still running and two arms wrapped around my waist pulling me back. "NO! LET ME GO! SHE'S NOT DEAD! SHE'S STILL HERE! SHE CAME BACK! SHE'S ALIVE. LET ME GO. I HAVE TO FIND HER." I kicked and screamed in the persons grip. Their strong arms held me in close to their body. "WE HAVE TO GO TO LONDON. SHE CAN'T JUST LEAVE ME HERE. SHE'S COMING BACK. SHE'S STILL ALIVE. SHE'S JUST PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK. LET ME GO, I HAVE TO FIND HER!" I yelled again, Emma was standing in front of me at her door, covering her mouth at the sight of my brokenness, she cried hard clutching her stomach dripping to the ground. I continued to yell at the person who held me but was unable to move from their grip. "SHE PROMISED TO NEVER LEAVE ME. SHe promised...." I collapsed to the ground in a heap letting the person who had grip of me cradle me into their body. I held onto them tightly and cried. Screaming and cry.

"Nicole.. Shhhh. It's ok." My dads gentle voice was all I could hear now. "Nicole, wake up. It's only a dream. It's ok. Tiarna is ok" he placed a gentle soft kiss on my forehead and stroked my arm with his thumb. I woke up in my bed being cradled by my dad. Tears streamed down my face and his shirt was soaked. It was only a dream.

"I can't ever loose her" I whispered. "It's ok, you won't." My dad assured me. "Go back to sleep. Tiarna is fine and I'm here" he ran his fingers through the front of my hair, like he's done since I was a little girl. It always puts me to sleep, calming me down and sending me into a peaceful sleep.

"What were you dreaming about last night? You were an absolute mess. Your father has some bruises from where you kicked him" mum said at breakfast. "Just a nightmare. I didn't mean to hurt him. I'll apologies tonight when he gets home." I said shrugging my shoulders going quiet.

"Hey what happened last night? I can't remember Zayn going home.. Or going to bed.." I tried to think of what I had done last night but all I remember is talking to Zayn and then the next minute I'm being woken up because I was screaming.

"Oh yes. You fell asleep on the lounge talking to Zayn, so he put you to bed and went back to his motel. And explain to me how Zayn Malik turned up at our house as your best friend?" I instantly went pink in the cheeks. I fell asleep.. Good one. "Well that's too long to explain.. Lets just say I ran into him at a bad time and he hasn't left my side since. Now we're good friends." I smiled and went to finish getting ready for school.

It's finally Friday, the week has gone so slow and I haven't slept well at all. I keep having the same kind of dreams, then wake up crying. It hasn't been as bad as Monday night, I haven't yelled or screamed in my sleep, just cried. I've been waking up at every hour to go back to sleep and have the same dream over and over again. I just want to sleep.
