Aquaris 18

It is now getting dark out and I am sitting in my room, bored and hungry still. This is how I usually am. Hungry, all the time. And bored, all the time. Even when there is so much for me to be doing. That is when I usually just go around doing random weird stuff. Which is what I'm doing now. Swimming around, twirling, while saying any stupid thing that comes to my mind.

I've been quite hyper lately, but this is ridiculous.

I'll just start thinking to myself instead of talking out loud. It's better that way incase someone walks in on me.

Lalalala. Ohhh my tail looks like a snake when I move it like that...

Weeeeee! Haha it's so fun!

Is my hair falling out...?!?!

Oh no. Thank goodness. It's just one little piece.

Imma make it float through the water!

Yippe! It's going on a water slide!

What the... Am I seriously playing with a piece of hair that fell off my head...?

That's gross. Ew. Make it go away.

Oh look! A little fishy!

Come here fishy!

LET ME LOVE YOU.

I lunged for the tiny silver fish, but it darted away, and out of my room through the pillars.

I frowned.

Poopy. Now I've got no one to play with.

I plopped down onto my sponge bed. Laying there I just relaxed and uncontrollably, my mind wandered to the one thing I hate thinking about. My life.

Life is so complicated. Whether a fish, or a human. Everything is thrown at you with no regards. Everything happens at the worst times, and no one left without some sort of pain. When something good happens, it's not long before something bad comes along and crushes happiness. I often wonder how I, and everyone else survive through all of life's obstacles. It makes me thankful for friends. That's how we make it through. Friends build each other up during hard times, and make sure you always have their shoulder to lean on.

I wish I had friends like that when I was human. I'm glad that's done and over with. I wouldn't trade anything to go back. I love it here. I'm willing to accept my fate through thick and thin. I wish I could wash away the past. I know it is apart of me. But it will never be a part I am proud of. And I just hope that's where it stays. Hidden, in the past.

My deep thoughts drained the energy from me. Within minutes, I drifted off into a deep sleep.

*****

Sunlight speared through my window as I rolled over on my mattress. Ugh. Why do I still feel so tired?

Yawning, I knew I had to get up, or else I would be here in bed forever. I unwillingly threw my legs over the side of my bed, sitting up.

My fluffy blue slippers were right at the foot of my bed, where I always keep them. Sliding my cold feet into them, I blink my eyes to adjust to the light.

My stomach growls like a dying whale.

My stomach has a strange tendency to do that. It's one of the great things about dis-functional mwa.

I let out a grumpy groan and stumble across the hard wood floor, to my kitchen. Opening my fridge, I frown. Nothing good to eat. Actually, there's hardly anything at all. We are even low on things not yummy to eat. Not that this is uncommon. Mom hardly ever goes out to get groceries since she's always going out with guys for lunch and crap. And she doesn't really care if I have anything to eat. But I guess I'm used to it.

Grabbing a hard boiled egg I found stuffed far in the back, I closed the door and went to sit down on the couch.

I wonder if this is good to eat. It's probably been back there for a few weeks.. Oh well. If I get sick and die from it, at least I'll be in a better place.

I go to bite into the egg when I suddenly stop.

Something is wrong.

I'm now fully awake and my brain is beginning to process things. Something isn't right. This feels strange.

But what is it...

Then, it clicks.

Legs, air, an egg.

My house.

My human house.

I was a mermaid when I went to bed, but now I'm back in my house.

What happened?

No no no no!!

I can't life my human life again! Why am I back!? No! This can't be!

Before I have a mental breakdown, I flung my hands up to cover my face in my distress. My egg flew and knocked over a case sitting on a small end table beside me. It fell and shattered, pieces of glass landed on my legs and feet.

Wait a minute... Normally glass landing on me would've cut me. That's just the kind of bad luck I always have.

I took my hand down away from my face. Reaching down, I lightly pinched my leg.

Nothing.

I squeezed a litter harder.

Again, nothing,

No pain.

What is going on...

Suddenly I felt a wave of relive.

A dream.

I'm dreaming!

Thank goodness!

Breath out air I had apparently been holding in as I relax.

But I quickly draw it back in as the front door opens.

This isn't just a dream.

This is my worst night mare.

Walking in through the door...

Is my mom.
