Breaking Through Darkness

Chapter 8

Ryah's point of view

So after a night of dancing, drinking, playing video games and watching movie I decided to let Micah stay the night. Micah fell asleep a lot early than I did and once I fell asleep I had the worst possible dream ever. I've had this reoccurring dream that someone I've lived with drove me insane and made me jump off a cliff and it would repeat 6 times before I would wake up but this time it was different. This time I was looking for Micah and I heard him yelling, I ran down the stairs down to the cliff where he was struggling to get out of the clutches of this woman who had long black hair and wearing a medical gown. Once I got to the cliff Micah saw me and yelled my name and at that moment she pushed him over. I then ran to her and fought her and once I realised she had no face she pushed me over and cackled. How is that possible? a thousand thoughts ran through my mind as I was falling.

I was woken up by Micah who was shaking me with a concerned look and knew from that moment that all I needed was comfort. I began to cry and hold on to him as tight as possible as I fell asleep. I couldn't fall into a deep sleep with the fear of the dream reoccurring.

The next day I woke up and stood in the shower for what felt like hours. A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts. I quickly got out and wrapped a towel around my body to find my best friend Janise. Janise was 5'4", blasian and had black/brown hair that she usually kept short. She was giving me the approval look of a shirtless Micah still sprawled out on my bed. When did he take off his shirt? oh well anyways, as I got dressed Janise told me why she was here. Wait how did she get in? "Ryah you gave me a key remember? And before you give me the look again I knew you were gonna ask because you had that questioning look on your face" damn. She knows me too well. Anywhos she was here because she wanted to take me out to lunch and catch up. I've been kinda distant since Andrew and I broke up back in December and she just wanted to see how I was doing.

After a great day of shopping and being fatasses, we went back to my house to find Micah on the back deck grilling. Wait, I don't have a grill. "Micah, where did you get the grill?" "oh hey, Janise!" He embraced her in a hug then turned back to me " babe I brought it over from my house your mom wanted help grilling steaks tonight so I offered. She was quiet surprised then offered me a beer. I was confused and denied so yeah. how was your day" before I could answer my mom called me into the altar room "Ryah, where's the scriving rocks?" "Mom they're in the box over-" the box is missing but the only other person that was here was Stark. I left the room and called Stark on his phone. It went straight to voice mail. Not good. "Mom Starks not answering his phone!" "What do you mean Ryah?" "I mean it went straight to voice mail" then it hit mom she damn near fell over but with Micah and Janise there to catch her she didn't fall. But now I need to go find stark but there was one problem, I had no clue where he was.
