Schizophrenia

Chapter Two

Chapter Two

Savannah Summers

The adrenaline is pumping through my veins as I finally passed the last houses. Almost every light was turned off already, obviously because it was in the middle of the night.

As I finally reach my house, I quickly run up the driveway and unlock the door with the key I already pulled out while running. After only a few seconds I'm already inside the house and lock it again. My breath is shaking and so is my whole body. I lean back against the door, trying to catch my breath and process what just happened.

My lungs are burning and I let myself slip down to the floor, as my shaky hands take out my vibrating phone. I take a glance at it and open the message I just got,

From: Logan

 

Are you home already? Because if you are and fell asleep without texting me, I will have to come over and wake you up, with water. That's what happens when you leave me worried.

A small smile appears on my lips because of my overprotective best friend and I take a deep breath, filling my aching lungs with oxygen as I reply to him,

To: Logan

 

I'm so sorry. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I went to take a shower right away without texting you first. I hope you aren't mad. Nighty xo

I slowly get up and have to hold onto the wall to not fall back to the floor again because my feet decided to turn into jelly.

After a few seconds I then walk upstairs and right into my room. I feel way too exhausted and tired to take a shower now so I just throw my bag to the side of my bag and take off my clothes. Then I quickly take an oversized shirt and put it on and slip under my blanket. My phone vibrates again and I smile as I see another message from Logan,

From: Logan

 

I'm not mad, I was just worried. Good night S.

My eyes get heavy and end up falling close. My thoughts everywhere but on what happened earlier, and I'm pretty thankful that I don't have to think about it before I fall asleep completely.

I wake up to a loud sound, glass shattering on the floor. My eyes widen and I slowly sit up, my eyes drift through the room, trying to get used to the dark and see what caused it. But I see nothing but complete darkness. I blame the closed blinds and curtains in front of my window. A small sigh escapes my lips as I try to find the switch of the light next to my bed. That's when it hit me, I didn't close the blinds.

My heart is racing when all of a sudden all the thoughts from earlier rush back into my head. What if he's here? In my room, right now. Watching me?

I don't know what to do so I just don't move and try to breathe as normal as possible. But then I decide to just face everything instead of waiting for something to happen and with a quick move I turn on the lights. My mouth falls open in a gap and I'm about to scream at the sight in front of me before a hand gets pressed against my lips, silencing me.
