NIGHTMARES

Chapter 2

I look at my mother in my father´s arms.

After they leave I can´t go back to sleep, not because of the nightmare but because of what just happend with my mother´s reaction. I wonder why she reacted like that, I mean its just a dream. She doesn´t usually act so weird, although ever sice the nightmares she´s been acting very strange.

The next morning I go to my parents room, I find my father in the bathroom,

"Is mom still in bed?" I ask.

"Yes" he answers.

I see my mother reading in her bed. I sit next to her and say;

"Mom" She looks at me."Why did you act so wierd when I told you and dad about my dream?"

"What are you talking about? I didn´t act wie-"

"Mom" I say "The truth"

She sits up, looks at me and says;

"You see, there is something I haven´t told you" I look at her, as in confused. What does she mean by that?

"A long time ago, my family was cursed.." What! Is this a joke?I ask myself. "The curse was, that every girl at 14 would start getting nightmares" Just like me. What a couincidence. I think. "After a few years, depends on the person, you start getting so depressed that in the end, you are led to suicide." I can´t believe my ears.This can´t be true. Is she just doing this to get me scared? Why would she do that? "But it skipped me" she sudenly says "And ever since you were born, I hoped it would skip you too" I don´t understand anything she´s saying. How can this be true? Its imposible! "But it didn´t skip you" she says "Thats why I act so strange".

"Is this a joke?" I ask angryly.

"No, of course not. Do you really think I would make up such a thing" she says even more angryly than me. So its true, my family, is cursed. How could this have happend?How can I be cursed?

"Mom, I promise I wont kill myself" I burst out.

"It doesn´t work like that!" she screams,"I just can´t help to think that I might loose you" I think about everything my mother´s been through this year. She lost her brother and had to plan the funeral by her self, since she doesn´t have any family left, sice her sister died when she was 18 and her mother after her sister, and now she thinks she is going to loose me.

"Youre not going to loose me" I say. She looks at me, smiles and looks back down again. "Does dad know?" I ask.

"Yes" She says. 

"But I didn´t know she did"
