Everything was dark. Nothing seemed to be happy, or bright. I felt myself running, running for my own life. Wake up. I told myself. Wake up. No matter how hard I tried to wake up, I couldn't bring myself to do it. Run and keep on running. I saw the same familiar black shadow who seemed to be floating after me.
"I will kill you Attie. Nothing you can do to stop me." the shadow said, in it's slow dark voice that I know so well. You can do it! Wake up! I screamed to myself. "Death runs in your family. Everything and everyone you go near will get hurt." the voice said, but this time gaining speed. I, being the clumsy me tripped over nothing at all. I looked at the figure as it grew closer to me. "3...2...1...bye" is all it said before I felt a sharp pain in my chest.
"Ahhhhhhh!" I screamed and jolted up. It took me a minute to realize that it was just another night-terror. Night-terrors are like nightmares but ten times worse. Imagine your worst nightmare but way worse than that. That's what i dream of almost everynight. I wish I could go back to having nightmares. Same as yesterdays. I started to just now catch my breath. Calm down. I all I kept thinking. I still had the sharp pain in my chest. As I started to breath normally I heard a knock on my door. I groaned in response.
"Come in." I try and yell. Some part of me wants to stay quiet. I watch as my door opens, in came my best friend Noah. Yes, Noah is a guy. No, we arent dating, and never will.
"Attie, did you have one again?" he whispers.
"Yeah." I say and tears start to brim my eyes. No matter what, I always end up crying after I have them.
"Don't cry best friend. Think of happy thoughts. Want me to sing?" Noah asked, though he knew my answer. He was like a brother to me. He always cared, and knew how to cheer me up. I shook my head yes. When he sang I couldn't help but feel more calm.
He started to sing my favorite verse to my favorite song.
Wake up to a sunny day. Not a cloud up in the sky.
But then it starts to rain.
Little girl don't be so blue, I know what you're going through.
Hittin' walls and gettin' scars only makes you who you are. Only make you who you are.
He started to laugh that I was almost to sleep. "Glad you were listening to me." he says in a sarcastic tone. I smile at that. "Hey I was listening to you! Just with my eyes closed." I say and hug him. "Thank you Noah." I whisper into his ear. "Anytime Attie." he says and gets off my bed. He walks to my door but stops to say something.
"Tomorrow we are hanging out with everyone! Maddie says she misses you!" he says and closes my door. I missed Maddie too. Infact with my job, I missed all of my friends a ton. I am an interpreter, which means that I have to go around the world a lot. I liked seeing the world, but I didn't like being away from my friends. Not at all.
I fell asleep quickly, but I still was scared.
