The Midnight Guest

Ch5 : What the hell happened?

   “Zee… Zee… ZEE” I heard my mom’s voice and shot up in my place opening my eyes to adjust my surroundings. The first thing that came into my sight was mom’s worried face and behind her stands my brother with the same expression, except that his seemed to be more understanding to the situation. But wait what situation? I sit down properly to find myself on the couch, in the living room; I look around to find the fudge cake, the plates, and the chips are still there; didn’t I take those to the kitchen? Why is my head hurting so much? “Zee, darling you ok?” Mom asked. “What happened? Why are you asking?” I asked her, and she replied directly.”Well it’s just that I went to check on you in your room and apparently so was your brother but both of us didn’t find you there. So we went down and found you still lying on the couch kicking the cushions and a bit teary if I may say.” My mom explained to me. “You alright any bad dreams?” she asked, and my brother nodded as if asking the same, but I knew he was expecting and thinking something very different than my mom. Then, in a matter of a second I remembered everything, the events of last night hit me. I did take that stuff to the kitchen, I saw the creepy man, I saw dad then I went to the porch. The porch! I was at the porch, I’m pretty sure I was and the warmth and the whispers.  What the hell?

    Panic spread in my body and probably appeared on my face too because my brother approached “Zee please say something sis, dude you look so pale!” he said while wrapping an arm around my shoulder. My mom also seemed to notice because now she is holding my hand while caressing it with her thumb. “H-How did I get here?” I managed to ask. My mom chuckled nervously “Well apparently you fell asleep while naming your cats.” I forced a smile to my mom then sank in my thoughts again. I’m really scared. I can’t tell them they’ll either say it was nightmare or think I’m losing my mind. But who would blame though? The air is thickening and a lump in my throat is formed and both mom and Adam are not helping. “You know what I’m just going to take those things to the kitchen and sleep because Aunt Helen will be here early and I guess I was just dreaming, it’s not that bad because I don’t even remember any of it.” Oh I wish I didn’t. Then I moved away from them not caring if they’re convinced or not I just want to be alone for a moment. I grab everything but then when my eyes dart to the kitchen I just leave them there. “Mom, can you please take those to the kitchen? I’m really tired” I ask my mom as casual as I can be now. “C’mon Zee just put them in the kitchen.” mom said, apparently she won’t discuss the thing any further but due to Adam’s expressions it seems like he would. “Don’t be lazy.” My mom adds making her way to the staircase. “I’m not lazy ok? Can’t you just do it, I said I need sleep!” I don’t know how or why but I snap just like this at mom and stomp my way upstairs leaving the two downstairs shocked with my reaction. You don’t expect me to get in that kitchen again this night. No Way!

   Probably half an hour has passed and I’m still sitting with my feet crossed on my bed with my stuffed elephant and no logical explanation for what happened this night. A knock on the door wakes me up from my thoughts and I jump slightly in my place. Really Zee get a grip! “Zee, I’m Adam can I come in?”He asks. “Uh… Yeah, sure, of course, yeah!” I reply nervously. He enters the room slowly and sits beside me. “You do realize I’m not convinced at all with what you said?” He asks. I just nod. “Zee, Come on Z you know you can tell Capital A here anything” he says winking. I can’t help but chuckle at what he calls each of us. “No Adam, I don’t want talk about this, well at least not now ok? Please!” He is not fully convinced I can tell but he just nods and stands up to leave  but I grab his wrist; he automatically understands and just lays down and hugs me tightly with my back facing him

    Should I really tell him what will he think? “No one will believe you, only me. It’ll be our little secret.” Was I thinking out loud that Adam heard me? “What? That made no sense Adam!” I tell him while turning around. But I’m sure Adam won’t answer as much as I’m sure he didn’t ask because when I look at him he is fast asleep.
