*So here is my first real story (that's not fan fiction). Enjoy! And leave a comment letting me know what you think ^.^
Chapter 1~
Once again, I found myself in a different world. A very beautiful and colorful world, the leaves on the trees were bright orange and yellow. And the sky a dazzling blue, it almost sparkled. In the far distance a couple of birds sang a stunning love song, I could feel the emotion behind their voices, I believe that's what they call happiness. The more I visit this strange land, the more wonderful it seems. I walked down the long gravel road, toward the bright afternoon sun. I stopped and turned my head up toward the sky and welcomed the warmth. I wish I could stay here forever, but soon I will have to leave...
With a heavy sign I continued walking, after just five minutes of walking I come along a house that stood on the right. That's strange, I thought. There's never been a house here before. Is there someone else here? The house was little and white, with a white picket fence surrounding the beautiful yard, a yard full of cheery blossoms and white rhododendrons, it was breathtakingly beautiful. It all seemed so familiar, but I'm sure I've never been here before. I walked through the fence and up to the front door. I knocked on the door and waited. No answer. Maybe no ones home. I knocked again, still no answer. I turned around to leave, and stopped dead in my traces. All around me had gone dark. No sun, no trees, nothing but blackness.
"Nicole!", I heard my name being called from the dark. I ran toward the voice, and with each step the darkness grow lighter. "Nicole get your lazy ass out of bed!". Bed? Right, I'm just dreaming again. I could see a door in the distance, I made my way to it and walked through. I woke in my bed, my stepdad still yelling at me through my locked bedroom down. "Nicole, get the hell up or I'm kicking this damn door down! He started banging on the door. "Well good morning to you to douchebag!". Is what I wanted to say, but I yelled "I'm up!" at him instead. I could hear him turn around, walk down the hall and stomp down the stairs. I rolled out of bed and checked my cell phone. "Shit!, I'm going to be late!". I hurried to shower and get dressed, throwing on some black skinny jeans and purple lace crop top, pairing it with the jean jacket my aunt gave me for my birthday last year and finishing my outfit with my favorite converse. I tied my hair up in a messing bun and applied some eyeliner and mascara, adding a little lip gloss to complete the look.
I stared at myself in the mirror above my desk. My sky blue eyes looking back at me. People say I have her eyes... that we were just alike, but I am nothing like that woman.
My phone buzzed on the desk were I left it, I glanced down and read the words on the screen "4 new messages" I looked in the mirror one more time and signed. I picked up my phone and read:
I'm here..
Still waiting..
Hurry the hell up! We're going to be late, class starts in 15 minutes. if you're not out in two, I'm leaving without you!
My best friend, Abby, she always was impatience.
I shoved my phone in my back pocket. I unlocked my bedroom door and grabbed my bag off of the door handle as I walked through. I walked to the end of the hall and down the stairs. Trying to be as quite as possible, I tiptoed past the living room where my stepdad was probably passed out drunk.
I made in through the front door without a sound. I walked to the end of the driveway where Abby was parked waiting. I climbed in the passengers seat. 'Morning, Abbs". I said to her. She looked at me for a minute then said "Morning!", deciding she wasn't mad anymore. She leaned over to hug me, then put the car in park and pulled away from the curb.
We drove in silence for a few minutes then Abby asked, "So how has your morning been?". I looked out the window for a moment longer then turned to answer her "Good", I said with a fake smile on my face. "Nicole Lynn Miller! How long have we been friends?!? she yelled. "Too long", I joked. She looked at me and smiled " Exactly. Don't you think I can tell when your lying by now?" she asked. "Probably". I signed. She pulled the car over and turned to face me. "Your step dad again?".
Well there you go! Chapter 1 of "Bad Dreams"! PLEASE, PLEASE let me know if I should continue writing this story.
