"Kim!" Someone shout in the pit of the darkness.
"Kimberly" another voice said while something shook my body.
"Kimberly!" I recognize Katy's voice.
My eyes shot open as I gasped for air. Something was still holding onto my arms and legs. I struggled to get free but was given a long shake instead. After I calmed down I notice that rayon was using on hand to hold down my legs while the other clutch his jaw. Mom held me firmly around my waist while Katy had both my arms. Kemoy was sitting on my knees eating a sandwich.
"Mom will Kim move to a psychiatric hospital?" Kemoy asked still eating his sandwich. His chubby little body breaking my legs in the process.
"Mom what.." I begun confused but I didn't exactly known what to ask or say.
"You were dreaming sweetie" mom said patting my hair.
"You were kicking and screaming insulting things about yourself" Katy explained.
"And when you move to the crazy hospital, I'll sell your stuff" kemoy added finishing his sandwich and now turned to me for the first time.
Not surprised by his statement, I rushed him off my knees. As he got up a hundred tiny pinching sensations spread throughout my legs. Cramped I pulled my legs out of rayon's hold and massaged them. Mom chuckled lightly at kemoy's statement and continued stroking my hair. I never once thought of what happened minutes ago. It didn't feel like a dream. It felt real. It felt like what I assume drowning feels like. No one spoke about it and I was thankful. I didn't want to relive the horrors of my subconsciousness that just so happened to be the reality of the worst day of my life.
"So no one is going to say anything " kemoy disrupt the silence. Everyone turned to him expectantly.
"She has been screaming with her eyes closed for five hours non stop!" He exclaimed gesturing to me. My mouth dropped to the floor.
"She has lost several screws. Its 5a.m. in the morning and no one is going to tell her she's been screaming and insulting herself in her sleep from midnight until now" kemoy rolled his eyes and got up and walked out of the room.
Everyone looked at each other not knowing what to say. But I just couldn't believe it. Maybe that's why my throat felt sore and dry. I didn't even notice until now. Not only is my life crazy but I've become crazy too.
"Is that true" I whispered.
"Yes but its only natural. You had a rough day yesterday. Your only human to have nightmares about it." Mom said in a motherly tone.
"Yeah you even wet the bed and started screaming you were drowning and eaten by toilet paper" kemoy added entering the room with two large trash bags.
"What!" I screamed in disbelief then checked where I was sitting. Turns out kemoy was right. I sprung up from the bed embarrassed and shocked.
"Oh well" kemoy shrugged while placing my laptop, printer, cell phone and other items in the bags.
"What are you doing with my stuff" I fired at him furiously.
"Stupid, I'm packing your things. This bag is for your clothes to take to the psycho hospital and this bag has all your gadgets that I can sell" he said to me in a tone as if I really was stupid.
