“Jovana, will you marry me?” I looked at the ring which was shining brightly in the sun’s rays. Sweat came running down my forehead as my eyes were roaming around me. I could not understand. I’m so confused. The snoozing air hits my knees so hard that my legs were now shaking. “It’s a no. I don’t have feelings for you. Sorry.” I said sadly and was hurt. The man in front of me stood up and pours several tears on both of his eyes. “I hope you should’ve died! I don’t want you! I don’t like you in my life!” My heart pounded faster as I ran away from him. I continued to run faster and faster. Sweat was running over my body. I looked back and I was shocked to see that he was still running after me. A rock, which I have not noticed was on the ground, made me fall onto the ground bruised. Hurt was now around me as my heart beats faster and faster as the man now stopped to look at me with heartless eyes.

I screamed inside and woke up to the world of humans. I breathed heavily as I just realized it was just a dream or should I say a nightmare. I took my vintage watch near my bedside table. It was one o’clock in the morning. I snorted angrily as I went back to sleep. I rubbed my head angrily as I rise out of bed. I sat down on my chair and began to roam around some of the papers scattering around my table. What a great day to start! I began to arrange some of my files which aren’t used today and placed it in a small vintage looking case with a golden chain in front. My table’s now clean. I began to lie down my head tiredly as my eyes are still sleepy for, I wasn’t able to sleep that well today.

I was about to close my eyes and sleep sweetly when suddenly, a big ‘BANG’ was heard all over my room. My heart beats fast as I quickly got off from bed and stood up immediately. I looked closer at the white door which was jammed wide open by a strange black shadow. I could not clearly see it but for me it looks like a man. I quickly got up and turned the lights on.

My eyes were big as an apple and I was completely caught off-guard. The man was the drunkard. What the f is he doing here?!? I thought to myself feeling very confused as to what to do next.

“Hey! Don’t you ever try enter even a foot!” I yelled as I pointed my index finger at him.

“Who are you yelling?” he said drunk-ardly. He seemed a little lost.

I can smell cherry-alcoholic-whatever beer around the room when he spoke those words. He really is drunk. I better kill this man.

When he noticed I wasn’t replying, but was just staring at him with fear, he started to set foot on my room and I was angered like an explosive bomb and this time I could clearly see his face. He was a tall, eighteen-year-old guy with dark hair and big balls under his eyes. I move a little as I yelled at him not to continue walking or else, I’ll kill him? The more I yell, the more he continues to walk inside the room.

“I’m brokenhearted! I need someone!” He screamed at the top of his lungs. He move forward as I continue to move backward and I can feel myself locked near the window.

“You’re already one of them! You better go out now! Shut up!” I screamed angrily. How should I do this? I need to go out!

“Please…help me!” He yelled at me and he was starting to let tears out of his eyes. I wasn’t sad nor dejected but all I want to do is get out of this situation! Remember that feeling when you are all alone and then suddenly a ghost appeared in front of you? Come on! Who wants to get out from a drunkard-filthy-monster in your room?

He seemed to be an inch away from me and I could feel my heart beats faster and my legs and hands were shaking. Ooohh..I can’t handle this! I better go out! I move my hands through the opening of the window as I looked at him with fear. I was in so much pain since I wanted to go out now. I finally found the opening and my fingers were happy the window has opened.

The man saw it and he was blowned-away. I opened the window wide open and I started to put my knees like I was ready to jump out of the window. As I laid eyes on the bottom of the window, I was very scared as to what should I do. I could hear footsteps on the floor and my heart pounded faster as I tried to jump out of the window without noticing it could kill me. As I was about to jump out of the window, a strong grip on my hand left me stop from jumping out of the two-story mansion. I looked on the ground and noticed I was still far away from the bottom. I felt tired and looked up.

“Don’t you ever jump! Don’t suicide!” He yelled completely at me still holding onto my hand.

“Who told you, I was on for a suicide?” I screamed. Then I suddenly, dipped my long nails on his hands and he let go of my hands in pain. I feel myself falling from the top and I was like a feather from the sky. But, something stops me because I realized I was in danger? I suddenly woke up to realization and fell to the ground with so much pain on my neck. “Ouch!” I cried in pain when I suddenly realized, the man’s about to jump out through the window. He can’t follow me! My heart raises faster as I stood up from the ground and felt a crack on my right knee. I was in so much pain when I started running awkwardly like a duck until I reached the front of the mansion and there lay my car.

I went beside my car and tried opening the doors. Its locked. Gosh! What should I do? I don’t have the key! I thought to myself when suddenly, a man’s voice was heard yelling behind me. “Jovana!” My knees started to shake and realized I did not feel the pain again because of the tremble I felt a while ago. I felt the urge to run away when the voice comes nearer and nearer to me. I run away through the gate when I noticed the guard was sleeping. I could not wake him up today. I looked back and saw the man looking dejected and sad. “Please, wait!” he said wearily.

I left without a word and run away through the guardhouse and out of the gate. I continued to run away out of the mansion until I reached the park. The park where I used to cry and promised to myself I will never do that ‘thing’ again.
