The mystery of the shattered glass

"I'll be just fine"

I stayed up the whole night. I finally finished writing! Dark circles had developed under my eyes and I could barely see anything properly due to the lack of sleep. 

I was very disturbed at the fact that there was nothing much we could do about this matter. We had two options. One, forget about this for once and for all and concentrate on me getting better medically. Two,chase. Risk everything we have to solve this mystery. Well, two didn't even look like an option. It looked more of me digging my own grave.

School reopens tomorrow. I stared at the screen for a long time. 

"Should I send it...?" The cursor blinked. I was so stuck at deciding if I should send the mail which had the whole story attached. If I don't I would only make a fool out of myself.

I took a deep breath and hit "send". Half of the weight from my head seemed to just vanish. I was so glad. 

I closed the laptop. "Sleep. I need sleep."

Aaaannd.....yes I crashed pretty fast. I didn't care of the nasty dream I would have. I forgot about the witch visiting me. I was so lost into finding happiness that I simply lay n fell fast asleep.

This time,it wasn't the witch who came to me. It was dad. 

"Dad.....you need to tell me what's happening. I....There is so much that happened!"

Dad slowly sat beside me and looked deep into my eyes. "I know Sara. But all I can tell you is, we must never set ourselves behind with fear. Confrontation. It's the strongest weapon you can have. Confront your fears Sara, and everything shall be gone. Gone for once and for all. Stay strong. Always."

And he left. Just like that. Gone in thin air..

I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling. "Always strong." I whispered.

This was it. I had the weapon buried under my fears all this while I failed to use it to kill her. She isn't real. She lives in my head. But she is real enough to hurt me if I let her!

The door opened and mom waked in.

"Hey....how are you feeling?" She asked. "Iv'e got you some hot chocolate."

"hey. I'm good. And thanks!!" I replied trying to look better as possible. 

"I've to get back to work today....will you be allright? You take your meds on time and..and I've made you some good breakfast....." She said unstoppably.

"Mom, I'll be fine." I assured her. 

She smiled and left. I took a shower and felt good. Later,made my way downstairs and had some food.

Things will only get better from now on.
