Chapter 12

My head started to spin.

How did they know.

I haven't even talked to anyone since Anora's . . . passing.

My breathing speeds up.

Wait.

How did they know my name.

Oh gods.

Everything's spinning.

Everything's blurry.

I can't make out anything.

The searing pain is back.

It's not giving up.

It hurts.

It hurts so much.

I grip my head, that seems to be the source of the pain.

Someone's screaming.

Is it me?

All of a sudden the pain stops and everything is clear again. The worry on my parents faces becomes evident again as I lift my head up.

I attempt to smile, but there was never any hope for that to work. I open my mouth to speak but my teeth just chatter against each other. I swallow deeply, trying to keep tears from welling up. I look away and squeeze my eyes shut. I feel the pain try to creep into my head. I shove it away, officially fed up with everything. My throat starts searing as if its on fire. Oh gods.

I drag in heavy breaths trying to calm myself down but the oxygen just seems to fuel the fire. I start clawing at my throat trying to get to stop. With a sudden jolt, I realise that I didn't hang up on the mysterious caller. I drag my focus away from the fire slowly eating away at my throat and try to look for my phone. I fumble around for a few seconds, my vision blurred by tears and grab a hold of my phone, bringing it up to my ear. All I can hear is my heavy breathing and sobs. I try to listen closer to the mysterious voice but can't make out any words. I wrench the phone away from my ear and hang up. Now all I have to focus on is my still burning throat. Then, like before it disappears suddenly and I look back at my parents, still dragging in heavy breaths between sobs.

After I've calmed down, I open my mouth to beg my parents not to take me back to the hospital, but no words come out. I try again, but realise with a start that I can't talk. Not because i'm scared to. Because I physically can't. The car starts moving again.

I feel like crying. Everything is just falling apart and I can't fix it. I don't know what to do. First Anora. . . passes, then the stupid wolf appears, then the searing pain appears and now I can't talk. I don't know what to do and I just want everything to stop. I feel like i'm constantly spiralling, away from everything normal and familiar and now, all I want to do is go back. I slump down in my seat, dreading the fact that soon, I will again be lying helpless in a hospital room.

Gods, what else could go wrong?

A/N

Hey everybody (AKA nobody). . . I'm so sorry, I've been really busy with life, and just everything in general. I'm really stressed out, but i've gotten back into writing, so expect a few more chapters that I will probably write solely to procrastinate.

Byeeeeeeeeeee!
