Nightmares (ON HOLD)

Never knew bugs could be so hazordous (5)

I tap my finger to the beat of the music on my steering wheel.

Baby, I got me

Baby, I got me

And that's all I need

Yeah that's all I need

Baby, I got me

Only friend I need

Playing on my team

Is someone like.

I take the next turn down the road; I'm driving over to Jasmine's. Liam called me over telling me it's urgent and that I would know what to do.

Me, baby, no way

Watch me while I do my thing

Oh, baby, no way

Are you fucking with the team?

I don't know why Liam would think I'm able to help her because, to be honest, I still don't know what is happening to me, especially that that house. It's always cold, and there is this sudden eeriness to it, and I don't like it at all. So having the chance to leave the house for any reason I will do it if it's to take out the trash or clean the yard and even go grocery shopping; I'm the first volunteer.

I park in front of her house, I put off the ignition and get out. I walk to the front door and ring the doorbell. Seconds later Liam opens the door and lets me tell you the once easy-going, fun and flirty Liam is gone and replaced with a tired, irritated and worried one.

"What happened to you?", I ask with concern, but he just closes his eyes and blows out a breath as he opens the door the whole way. Confused I walk in, and he locks the door behind him. "Follow me", he gestures with his hand and starts walking to her bedroom.

"I don't know what to do Nicole, you need to help her", he stops me from going in. He shakes his head "please, I don't want anything to happen to her-", he pleads his voice cracking. I put my hand on his shoulder, and he relaxes. "It's okay Liam, I'll help", he nods in response after a while.

Opening the door Jasmine sees me and grabs me; pushing me against the wall. "What the fuck is happening to me!?", She demands and my eyes widen at her state of being. Her hair is all over the place, and her clothes ripped. "I..I..donot....know", my voice falters. She shoves me into the wall again, and I catch my breath.

She grabs at her hair with frustration. "Yesterday morning when we woke up, I felt like... Like-", she struggles to find her words.

"Like your going crazy", I finish for her. "Yeah and last night when Liam took me home I sobered up and when I went to take a shower that's when I saw it...". She sits down on her bed she rips her shirt more revealing large red bumps all over her arms and stomach with a brown rough type thing in the middle of it. "Oh my God Jasmine-", she interrupts me "I can feel it moving inside of me, crawling underneath my skin", she explains, and I go over to kneel in. I rip her pants even more until it's barely covering anything to see that her entire legs are covered with them as well. I stare at them in shock "we need to get you to the hospital, Liam get her some-", Jasmine grips my arm tight, her face pale "NO!", she begs. "Jasmine you need to see a doctor this isn't normal", I persuade her, but she grips my arms tighter. "You don't understand I can't leave this house", she says through gritted teeth.

I turn my head to look at Liam, and he has his head in his hands as he sits on a chair. Sighing I look back at Jasmine "why?", a single tear falls her face. "Because if I go outside more bumps will ... grow..-" her voice falters at the latter, struggling not to the tears fall.

"It hurts so...much", she says as tears stream down her face. My eyes burn with the tears threatening to escape. "I'll make a plan so that they come here okay", I assure her taking hold of her hand "right". She nods and wipes away her tears with her free hand.
