Behind The Reason

13. Nightmare

"No! Please! Don't hurt me. I'll do whatever you want me to do but just don't kill me" I plea. He start to inject something in my veins and all I could see is blur. The room spin and I heard a mocking laugh, he come at me after throwing the sering in the trash can maybe then an object knock something or someone and a loud noise dropped on the ground. All I see is pich black. I feel somebody lifting me up, he's saying something but I can't understand what. He's voice reminds me of someone, someone I use to know... my...my dad.
"Dad?" I struggle to articulate
A shot gun, we fell on the ground.

I woke up in a hurry, my whole body shaking after this nightmare. What was that ? Why my father appeared in my dream again ? I didn't dreamed about him for a long time ago, why today ? Should I visit his grave ?
I looked at the clock on my nightstand and it was still earlier. I wonder why Lucy didn't woke me up for dinner or is she still on what she was doing when I came home ?
I walk downstairs seeing her asleep in front of her laptop. Long day I whisper. I didn't want to wake her up but if she stays in this position she will have stiff neck then decided to do it anyway.

"Lucy" I whisper.  She didn't move. "Lucy, you need to go to bed" I said again.

When I head to the fridge to grab something to put in my mouth, she starts to move slowly.

"Lucy, you really need to get up and go to your room"

She groans and try to open her eyes still having her head on the table. "What time is it?"

"It's past eight, I fall asleep too" I pour drink in my glass "want some ?" I ask her

"No I better take shower first before putting something in my belly" She put her flip flop and walk away.
I heard her shouting " There's already something in the microwave you can serve yourself,  sorry I forget to tell you that when you came home. I bet I told you something else" she laughed. I'm sure she maybe tapped her forehead for that.

"Okay... I'm not really hungry" as soon these word was out, my belly makes weird noise. "Or nah"

I serve myself and get full in a bit of a minute then the nightmare flashes again in my mind, I froze at the thought of it.
Lucy came and I talk to her about my nightmare before I came waking her up.

"You didn't dream about him lately, didn't you ?" She asks.

"No" I reply simply.

"Do you even remember his face ? You were 3 years old Ali"

"Yes... not exactly. I still have the pic of him that you gave me. You know I didn't see anything on it I just heard his voice and I wasn't really sure that it was him."

"Don't let that bother you honey" she pats my back slowly "it was just a nightmare"

"Yeah" I breath out " I gotta go back to my room."

"Okay sweetie" she kisses my forehead and hugged me before letting me go.
