(Arabellas POV)
It's been like three days since I woke up from my death like sleep. Today was the day I get to go home. I'm actually excited, even though I don't show it. I haven't talked at all ever since I realised that I was dreaming up basically a second life. The doctors said it was normal to create fantasy worlds while in this deep sleep thing. But it felt so real that it actually hurt realising it was all a dream.
*** at Arabella's house***
(Arabella's POV)
As soon as we walked into our house, I took in a deep breath then released it. My mum walked me up to my room and asked If I needed anything. Like I said I haven't bothered to talk so I just shook my head no instead. She sighed and walked out of my room, shutting the door behind her. I sat down onto my duvet sheets I had been missing, and sunk down into my pillow. I stayed in this position for a minute or so until I decided to make my way to my bathroom. I wanted to get the smell of hospital off of me so I ran a warm bath. Once it was done filling, I dumped some bath salts into it and pulled my hair back with a hair tie, leaving it in a lazy bun. One foot at a time, I stepped into the warm bath, letting the hot water boil up against my skin. "Shit.' I mumbled. The hot water surrounded my ankles until I sat down into the tub, relaxing backward deeper In the tub. My eyes soon began to get heavy. I then drifted off to sleep.
"Arabella...wake up sweetie." I was woken up from my mum gently shaking my shoulder. I nodded and she walked out the bathroom. I got out just like I did getting in, one leg at a time, slowly, and lazily. I walked into my room in only my bathrobe. I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed, tears started to burn against my face before I even realised it, I was balling my eyes out, not even making a sound just crying. I'm not exactly sure why I was crying so hysterically though. I wiped my eyes and got dressed. After I was finished getting ready, I looked in the mirror checking to see if my eyes were still red and puffy, which they were so I grabbed some eye drops and dropped them into each glassy eye. I decided to go for a walk to calm my nerves. I walked out the door without even saying goodbye to my mum. I just grabbed my phone and stuffed it into my back pocket, then put in my headphones, practically blasting all of the Jasmine Thompson covers I had downloaded. I began walking with my hands in my side pockets and my phone in my back ones. I was watching the ground until I looked up to a boy.
