I woke up to the faint sound of hammering. My eyes were still closed but I was fully aware of my surroundings. I could also hear slight whispering in the corner. All I wanted to do was go back to sleep and then never wake up again. I don't think i really want that but its what my voices constantly say so maybe it is. I'm thinking about obeying them this time because it didn't end well the last time i didn't. I mean the last thing i remember was Alex telling me that he's coming with me if i leave school. Then boom! I'm now laying somewhere, hearing whispering and banging yet un-able to open my eyes. I am able to sense my surroundings but i have absolutely no clue where i am, nor do i know how long I've been asleep for. Its like time doesn't exists for me right now. As all these thoughts go through my mind, I start to dose off again and eventually i fall into a deep slumber.

Running. Away from what? I don't know. I feel something gaining on me. It may be someone. Either way, it's going to catch me. As it gets closer, the phrase 'Do it' tends to become louder and louder. The louder it becomes, the slower i get. I know i have no chance, and frankly, I'm scared as hell. But I'm going to die anyways. I decide to stop running, turn around and face my fear. I then become face to face with myself, mimicking my every move. I then go to touch 'my' hand and just then, I'm awoken in shock.

I look around the room I'm in and notice that its my bedroom. I sigh in relief and sit up, my back slightly shooting pain to my neck. Looking at my pillow, i notice that it is drenched in what looks like sweat and tears. I have no idea how long I've been asleep for, but I do know that I needed to sleep as it was starting to get too much for my hurt body to handle.

Once I start to calm myself down from my dream that I can't remember a single detail about, I look around my room to see if it's still the same. And surely enough it is. Then my gaze becomes fixated on someone else. Alex. I now felt protected. I don't know why, but I did. Alex realises that I'm awake and rushes over to me straight away; he's the only one in the room. 

"How long have I been asleep for?" I quietly ask him.

"A week and a half," he almost painfully replies.

A/N thank you so much for reading i really appreciate it.
