Run!
Faster!
Hurry!
He's gaining on us!
Is this how it ends?
My whole body is caked in sweat, My legs are shaking nearly as fast as light, as I toss and turn unable to wake from this horrid dream or should I say horrid memory.
As my sleep continues I'm jumped awake with a gasp of utmost terror, as I'm torn from the reality by my alarm signaling my time to wake and go to school. Still shaken from my fitful dream I scurry out of bed and into the shower desperate for the calming hot shower to sooth me before I must go on with my day. As I step into my bathroom the tiles are made up only black and white as they make a pattern of that on a checker board.
My shower is straight ahead and the toilet to the right of the sink which is right on the left side of the door. Clothes are strewn along the floors as I have yet to clean up. As I strip to nothing I toss my clothes on top of the growing pile of dirty laundry I have in desperate need of washing. I walk over to the shower and turn it up to full blasted heat stepping in imeadiatly feeling the scorching of the water and the seeing an breathing in the steam from the continuously heating up shower.
As I stand there hands over my chest letting the water run down my back soothing my tense muscles, I look down at the shower floor my mind wandering who knows where. After what feels like forever I start to wash up scrubbing soap all over myself and into my hair before i then proceed to rinse it off. The soap as it goes down the drain for some reason reminds me of blood as it's washed from a suspect's cold dead hands.
Once I'm finished I step out not bothering to dry off walking to my closet and placing on my blue v-neck t-shirt with my jeans and my leather jacket. Normally I would place a beanie on my head but I don't feel the need to nor the want to today, so I simply place on my sneaker and grab my keys as I head for the front yard where I keep my baby. It's a
'Honda CBR1000RR'! I place my helmet on as I hop on my bike and place the keys in the ignition. I rev my engine and take off full speed to school. After all I can't miss the first day can I?*****at school****
As i walk the halls I hear people murmering about me.
Did you hear what happened?
Didn't he get hurt?
Oh my gosh look who it is!!
Is that him?!?!
Omg let's get out of here!
Did he just look at me?
After the many year of dealing with it, I've gotten used to it and have preferred the isolation it gives me, especially from the world around me.
"Hey, can you show me where room 18 is?"
I look to my right and see someone, who looks like he belongs on the football team, looking at me with a look utter defeat. For what? I don't know but i wasn't in the mood so I ignored him and kept walking. He obviously didn't receive the memo and kept up after me.
"Hey! Wait up!"
He was breathing heavily once he caught up with me seeming ad I had just walked the expanse of the halls and was almost to my class. I slowed to a stop as I waited for him to catch up not exactly knowing why he wouldn't leave me alone but something in me said it was wise to allow it for a little while to let someone in for a second but the strongest part of me the one that has kept me safe, kept me alive, and overall, has kept me hidden. Says to never let him in and to give him his directions and leave.
"Hey let's try this again my name's Tyler, Tyler James and I was wondering if you would be ever so gracious as to show me where room 18 is placed."
He seemed more confident and straight forward, so I gave him what he want in my own way.
"Follow me"
Those simple words I spoke set in motion something so sinister Neither of us were prepared to face alone.For the very thing i was hiding from, the very thing that killed my dad, did so for a reason and my new friend Tyler James here was part of one big puzzle, that we both had to solve or simply allow death to take us quickly.
