Let's Try This Again / h.s

Chapter 32

California's POV

I gasped myself awake; I looked around my room and at the time. It's midnight I lift the covers from my legs revealing my pajamas. But I swear I was performing at the old folk's home not too long ago, I walk out my bedroom trying to figure out what happened and why I can't remember anything.

I notice with every step I take I don't make a sound; I did a single jump and then again nothing.

I look up and see Harry, he's smiling at me. I don't know what made me run to him but my feet were moving as his feet moved towards mine, but he didn't run to me he ran pass me.

He ran to the girl standing behind me, but I didn't notice she was there.

He wraps his arms around her and gives her a kiss on the lips, then so wickedly and so evil he looked up at me and grinned from ear to ear.

I didn't know who the girl was or why I couldn't speak I screamed at him but nothing came out.

I put my hands on my throat feeling all around my neck I screamed once more and nothing came out, she turned around and had the same devilish smile on her face just like Harry.

I turned around and fell into a hole, I held along the edge as the walls around me turned black.

I heard footsteps walking over to me and it was Harry he lend his hand out to me, as I reached for his. I slipped and fell deeper into the black hole making everything around me pitch black and for the first time since this whole incident I can scream.

...

"Cali wake up!" I was screaming from the top of my lungs. I look around and I'm in a hospital bed, I kept panting I heard the heart monitor machine slow down its beeping back to my normal heart rate.

I look down at my arm and I'm clenching on someone, my therapist?

"Dr. Thundermine what are you doing here?" I am so confused.

"California, you don't remember?" I shook my head no making myself comfortable on the bed.

"You called and told me you're going to the hospital because you need to get some answers on why you are this way" my head is in so much pain, I feel like I'm going insane.

"Dear are you okay?" she places her hand on my shoulder I nod resting my head back on the pillow.

"Wait, yesterday did I go to the old folks home and perform?" I asked.

"No, you were here all night. You must have been dreaming" she says, I grab my head trying to stop it from spinning.

"This-this just doesn't make any sense, I was at the old folks home singing a song to them I know it, and then Harry came on stage and kissed me. It was like I was seeing everything he was thinking, like I was part of Harry's subconscious I swear Doctor it felt so real" I sigh closing my eyes.

"California sometimes our dreams can seem real, but trust me that never happened. The last thing you told me was that you talked to Harry in your room after you both seen the painting" she pulled up a chair.

I was about to say something when the nurse comes in "hi sweetheart I see you're awake" I smile at her.

"Ye-yeah, um what did you give me that made me doze off for" I look at the clock trying to remember, but my vision started to get blurry and I couldn't read the time.

"Um- uh, h-hold on" I try to focus my vision on the clock but it was no use.

"You've been sleeping for about 9 hours now, which is good but you need to be sleeping more this isn't healthy for someone in your state."
