The Nightmare Of The Photo

The Nightmare Of The Photo Part 3

     It's been about 3 years now since I escaped that horrible place and I still cant get that retched memory out of my head. It can't stop thinking about it and over the past few months I've been dreaming about it. The dreams are the worst because they all take me back to that place in that photo, It's always like I'm just reliving the nightmare and It's driving me insane, literally I haven't left my house in weeks because I can't act right in public and I don't want people to think I'm a bad person either. The only thing I leave the house for these days is to go to the grocery store and it's always very quick trips, like 5 to 10 minutes max and ever since a few weeks ago Ive had this feeling like I'm being watched by something, but every time I look in the direction of the person there's never anyone there. I'm starting to think that that photo has taken over my mind or something, I just wish It would would be over. 

     It's been a few weeks now and It's getting worse. I've started seeing things, like a few days ago I walked into my kitchen to get me a drink and what I saw was... horrifying, the walls were covered in blood and my girlfriend and my parents were all on the floor with their throats slit and there arms and legs were spread out across the room. Then I saw it, it was one of those thing's from the photo standing in the corner with an axe in his hand. I stare in shock at what I'm seeing. Then I close my eyes hoping that its not real and when I opened them everything just disappeared. Its really starting to get to me and I've decided to get out of the house and go get some help, hopefully I can get some help from a psychiatrist or something.

     Okay I went to the hospital yesterday and they told me that they would have a psychiatrist come out to my house tomorrow so I'm trying to clean up the place. Right about the time I get done my doorbell rings, so I go open the door and see a young lady probably about in her 30s or 40s with dark brown hair and beautiful baby blue eyes, but I didn't stare because even though I'm partly going insane I still have manors. I immediately let her in and I show her where I've set up an area for us. She says that the place looks very nice. I tell her that I cleaned up the place before she got here and then I asked her what her name was. she said her name was Sapphire. I said to her that that was a very pretty name and that I used to have a girlfriend named that. She said that that was very odd and that we should probably get started on our session. I said okay and she asked me to lay down on the couch so I did and then she asked me to close my eyes and tell her whats been happening over the past few years. Half way through the session she ask me to open my eyes and look at her. When I did I immediately closed them again and started shaking  She asked me whats wrong and I said one thing.

"They're here."

     She ask me who's here and I open my eyes and see the creatures from that photo standing behind her. I tell her that it was those creatures from that photo. She ask what Photo and I show here the picture I took of it on my phone when I first found it. She looks at it and says oh my god with a almost scared look on her face. I ask her whats wrong while keeping my eyes faced away from them and she says that she's seen that photo before. I ask where and she says that the last patient she had brought that photo in to her office saying that it was causing him mental problems. I then see those things teleport in front of me which causes me to jump so I close my eyes. Then I remember the last time I seen them. I turn around to face her and blink, When I look again they're still there so I blink again and they're still there, I blink about 4 or 5 more times and their still not gone, I start to get worried, so I look back at the seat that Sapphire was in and she was gone. I start to turn around and see her on the couch beside me and she moving her mouth like she's saying something but there's nothing coming out of her mouth. Then a tense wave of dizziness comes over me and I pass out.

     I wake up in a hospital bed with Sapphire and my parents standing beside me. Sapphire was holding my hand with her head down crying while my mom was in the chair in the back of the room crying on my dad's shoulder with my dad trying to get her to stop crying. I sit up in the bed and ask why they were crying. All their heads shoot up and stare at me. Sapphire was the first one to speak, she said.

" How are you alive your heartbeat just went dead."

     I look at the screen that shows my heartbeat and see that it's a straight line I look back at them and start to speak, but before I could Sapphire reached over and kissed me n the cheek. I pull back in shock. She looks at me with confusion in her eyes. She then ask.

" Do you not remember me Drake."

     I said yes you are my psychiatrist. Her face turned from confused to sadness. She then gets up and shows me a ring on her finger. I look at it and Suddenly feel a tense rush of memories flooding back into my head I stiffen up for a second when the rush hit me and then loosen back up when it was gone. I look back at sapphire and get up out of the bed and as soon as I did I walked over to sapphire and hug her. She hugs me back and says in my ear.

" I thought you wouldn't remember me.:

     I say in return.

"How could I ever forget my one true love."

     After a few hours of checkup by the doctor we were allowed to leave, and when we got home my parents asked me if I would be okay by myself and I assured them that I would be fine. After that my parents left and Sapphire started to get up to leave but stopped, she turned around and sat down on the couch beside me. She waited till she couldn't see my parents car's headlights to speak. After their headlights faded away she turned towards me and told me how much she was worried when I never picked up the phone when she called. I look at her in confusion and say.

" That's not true I answered all your calls."

She says " No you didn't you never picked up the phone."

     I sat there in confusion until she said.

"Okay you know what lets just forget about it okay, besides we've got some catching up to do anyway. I started to ask her what she meant by that but she stopped me when she kissed me and as soon as she did I realized what she meant when she aid that we had some catching up to do, So I backed away from her and she got a sad look on her face until I grabbed her arm and pulled her up to the bedroom where we closed and locked the doors and stayed there all night playing video games and watching Netflix.
