The Nightmare

There are Better Days.

      

Rose POV

It's a cloudy day and there's a slight drizzle. I'm sitting there staring out the window of the bus, my eyes shining in the window. I sigh as we reach my stop. I step off the bus and onto the muddy ground, I almost slip but I gain my balance. As I walk inside I can smell something like tacos and hear the sound of meat hitting a hot surface.

     "Welcome home!" My mom yells in a welcoming tone from the kitchen.
     "Thanks, I have homework so I'll be in my room if you need me!" I yell back in a cheerful voice. The rain gets heavier and my dad walks in. Drenched in rain he takes off his hat and shakes the rain from his dark brown hair.
     "Looks like there'll be a storm later tonight." My dad says and starts to laugh nervously. My mom finishes dinner    and we eat, it's hamburgers, they're  really juicy, I get covered in meat juice and need a shower. After my shower I go to sleep. At midnight I wake up to a screem, it was almost faded out by the roaring storm outside my window. I carefully walk down the stairs, afraid fo what I'll find. Bang, I hear a gunshot, I start to pick up the speed, another Bang, I practically run down the last few steps but what I find at the bottom scares me for live. I see my mom, blood gushing out of where her left lung should be, she's gasping for air. And my dad had a gushing fountian of blood in his forehead and he's holding a gun that's sticky with blood. And as my mom takes her last breath everything goes black.

          I hear a familiar chime that's getting louder by the second, it's getting annoying. I open my eyes and look around, Still in my room. The white wall turned a reddish orange by the sunlight streaming in through the window. I sit up and push the button on my alarm clock, leaving me in silence. I run my hand through my messy hair, my fingers getting caught in the knots. I get up and go to the kitchen, i make myself a coffee and toast with butter on it, like most mornings. I take a step outside with my coffee in hand. I look out at the steady pond next to my house, i can see orange fish swimming in the calming water, the sun reflecting off their scales making them shimmer. I sigh and walk back inside because I hit the bottom of my cup. I put the cup in the sink and go back to my room. I look in the mirror and take my hair brush and run it through my black hair, my red bangs got tangled up with the rest of it. I have to take a comb and fix my bangs so there was no black in them. " I'll have to re dye my bangs here soon." i mumble to myself before I brush my teeth and get dressed into a red long sleeve shirt with a purple flower on it and black skinny jeans, I put a black hoodie on over the shirt and put up the hood. I take my backpack from beside the mirror and do a double check to see if my bangs are ok, even though it won't matter when i get to school. I move my bangs and see my one red eye, the color of a ruby that has lost some shine shining, I drop my bangs and rub my other eye, it's navy blue, it's gotten a little dull as well. I grab my keys and lock the door. I walk to school the calm winds start to pick up, little by little.

At school I get bullied, verbally and psychically. Rachel and her friends always push me around and swear at me. After school I walk home, alone. Normally there's no wind and it feels like everything stops but today is different. Wind is blowing my long hair in every direction. I decide to put my hair in a ponytail and stop, but as soon as i stop i get pushed to the ground. "Found you freek." Rachel's boyfriend, Josh, says as he towers above me. I try to get up but he kicks me back down, he starts to kick me repeatedly and all i can do is cover my face so it won't get kicked.
