Amy Jackson

I walk into the tall building. The corridors unusually quiet. I walk towards D-Block as usual. But.... I stop my tracks when I see a huge crowd in front of the brick and cement covered building. I walk towards the crowd. I can hear whispers and scream. Suddenly everyone stops and turns towards me, without a second look I can tell that something is dreadfully wrong because I am not receiving friendly stares.

"LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE AMY!!!" Says someone from the crowd.

I draw my eyebrows together in confusion and walk towards the front to see what's going on and I come to see..............

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I scream as I shoot up from my bed.

"AMY?!?!?! WHATS WRONG?" I hear a chorus rushing into my room. I take in my surroundings, I'm in my bedroom. In New York. Mum, Dad and Tyler are all looking at me with concerned faces.

"Amy? Are you okay?" Mum asks.

"Uh... Yeah... Mum... It was a dream." I say as trying to catch my breath.

"Amy, have you been using relaxation methods like the doctor told you to?" Dad asks.

"I did when we were in........ I forgot when we came here." I reply changing my sentence midway. I try so hard to keep in my tears. I was done with being seen as weak and easy to hurt. Now and then when I get worried I continuously tell myself to be strong and give people what they deserve. Just like they taught you when you were a kid 'Treat others the way you wanted to be treated'. So if someone is nice to me I treated them nicely and for if someone treated me bad... well you know the answer to that. I assure Mum, Dad and Tyler that I will be okay and they take my word and leave the room to go back to bed. Just so you were wondering it's 2:00 in the morning and I literally woke up everyone in the house just by screaming. I walk over to my dresser and get my sleeping pills from one of the draws. Don't worry, I only take one because I have trouble sleeping if I wake up in the middle of my slumber or after a bad dream just like the one a few minutes ago.

I lay my head down on my pillow that is covered with a chevron printed pillow case. I stare at the ceiling, as I do images of the scenery from London coming flooding back to me just like the one in my dream. Just the thought of it sends shivers down my spine if just thoughts have this much effect on me I'm sure you can imagine how terrified I was when the thought turned into an unforgettable image right in front of my eyes. Being scared that if I close my eyes the dream may occur again I try staying awake. Gradually the sleeping pill kicks in and I eventually fall asleep.

I wake up before my alarm goes off just about half an hour early. I love sleeping but just as much as I do I don't want to go back to sleep because of last nights events, so I decided to ditch the blankets and get ready for school. I take a relaxing shower and dry my hair. I walk to my closet to pick an outfit. My eyes fall on the blue marble skirt Sofia gave yesterday and the memory that came along with it. Ugh. Alex. Pushing the thought away I choose a dark purple skirt with a black and white striped top paired with a black cardigan. I just accessorize my outfit with a double chained bracelet. I quickly dry my hair and brush it thoroughly. I just decide to tie my hair in a high ponytail since that's what seems to suit this outfit. I take a step back from my full-length mirror to check my whole look. Being satisfied I grab my bag and head downstairs. I'm not really hungry so I just grab a breakfast bar and sit on the sofa. Since I am pretty ahead of time today I decide to my current favourite book 'Lying out Loud' by Kody Keplinger.
