"Mom, No!"
"No!" I screamed, sitting up, realizing I was in bed. Tears were streaming down my cheeks, I was drenched in sweat and my head hurt. I'd gotten used to it though.

She paused. Sighed. "Ok, hun. Just tell me if you need anything."
I didn't respond and laid back down in bed. It had been like this for the past few months. I'd wake up in the middle of the night, terrified and screaming. She would ask me if I was ok. I'd tell her yes and she'd go back. She wouldn't come inside. She wouldn't ask to either.
She was terrified to get too close to me. Of course, she wouldn't say it. But I knew. I couldn't blame her. I destroy everything close to me.
