THE DEVIL IN ME

sanity lost

She woke up and realised it was all a dream and not wanting to stay in the bathroom or anywhere else alone ever again, she rushed out to meet a sleeping Lance in front of the door and in her attempt to sneak passed him, she woke him up, 'oh shit' she cursed under her breath, "sorry baby, I didn't mean to wake you","it's ok but darling, you've gotta be careful I've had a dream that some guy, like he was dead killed you over a cliff and I couldn't do Any thing about it" on hearing that she froze in her tracks, her hands starting to chase, then the bell rang, "Lance, I'll get it" he nodded and she went down in her robe and open the door, it was no one other than the hoodies man, it couldn't be, how can, "ahhhhhhhhhhhh" she screamed making Lance jolt down it a flash, "honey, why are you screaming, it's only the mail man, he's handing you over the mail, "sorry ma'am, I didn't mean to scare ya, but aii, it's a bit cold for this sick mail man ya see" he wasn't Bradley actually he was just an old sick mail man, nothing harmful there, "I'm sorry sir, I thought it was one of those horror movie freaks" she said making the Lance and the man giggle, "well, okey dohk, there's your mail, I best be on my way" and the man left.

Dear diary my last entry
Time ~ 12:56 am
Name ~ BRADLEY HAMILTON
Avenue ~ DEATH LANE, GRAVE TOWN.
Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, stop, stop, please, Bradley kill me, I'm sorry, leave my family, leave Lance, leave my friends, kill me, kill me!!!!!!
She woke up to see herself in a room, with a woman in white, "am i in heaven?" The nurse chuckled at her statement, "Honey, I'm nurse Sally, and I reckon you're as scared as little girl who lost her mom in a ham festival, child it's okay, you're safe here, we ain't gonna hurt you, well we'll get you even healthier than kelp chips in a smoothie blender" she said, from her accent and the way she talked she was from Texas and she had a great looking skin, although she look like she was in her thirties and that she appeared to be a mother she still had a great shape and beautiful curves and her hair had been dealt with oil and was tied into a friendly bun. "Nurse Sally what am I doing here? How'd I get here? Why is my Lance?" She said to which the nurse only smiled, "hon' your boyfriend came several, times last week...", "Wait how long have I been unconscious?", "..... Hon' you've been off for three weeks, it's a miracle you woke up, cause that boy was just as weak as a bullfrog coming from a jump contest, I thought he need some rest, cause he rushed in here three weeks ago with you in he's arms, he's story was unbelievable and the next thing in your sleep you were screaming so loud the babies on the fifth floor woke up and started crying, he said you weren't responding to anything he did to try wake you up and said you've been stressed out for something, mehn, I was so scared as you weren't responding to any treatment what so ever, your dad, mom, friends came several times calling a priest with 'em, sweetie you gotta tell me what's going on cause from what I've seen it's not physical, it's a mental problem" her words made perfect sense and she felt especially guilty that she made her entire family and friends worry, she was going through a problem one she thought was rather silly to be talking about, but truth was she wasn't actually okay, if anything she needed a therapist since the supposed arrival of late Bradley she's been scared that he'd come to kill her and that wasn't her biggest fear, she didn't want him to touch her family nor friends, she knew he had come to kill her but she hadn't expected the problem to be as serious as her being afraid to sleep and when she finally did, she dreamt of death, worse part was that she dreamt she'd die for three weeks straight uninterrupted, her life was over, how would she cope and deal with all this, "sweetie, seems like you gotta a lot on your mind, so I'll leave ya, and if ya need anything, anything at all, just press the button, okay, I'm rii out side love", "aren't you going home Sally?, "Sweet heart, I'm on tha night shift, a single mom's gotta run two jobs to help Nana, grand and her little twins, alrii darling, if you gotta talk, just let me know and don't feel like you're bothering me, cayse that's what I'm here for, c'mon sweet child rest up", Sally smiled and made her way to exit through the door, she'd been up for so long and finding sleep was hard mostly cause she always saw the blood covered face of Bradley Hamilton and at last she made up her mind to call Sally. "Sally? Sally? Nurse Sally, you there?" But there was no reply so she got down from the bed, she opened the door but Sally wasn't there, only an empty chair, she walked down the east Hall to find herself surrounded by dead bodies and then she screamed, and a hand touched hers, it was a hoodie person, she just didn't take a chance and ran to her room and locked the door, Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The door was being hit by a person she didn't know who, all this was so confusing after a while, the banging and her sobbing stopped and then she heard a sound, it was the knob of the door, followed by the sweet sound of the voice she was now familiar with, "Lizzy honey, did you lock the door, I heard noises are you okay?" She immediately stood up, unlocked the door and ambushed Sally with a hug all in one big haste, she began to cry again, "sweet heart, what happened? Do you miss your family? cause I can get them over here, faster than the guy on the series called zoom" Sally said and it was a nice attempt to make her laugh, "Sally, I've lost my sanity" she said making the air there uneasy, "honey, you're fine, I know sanity lost and yours is an illusion of the mind to your biggest fear" but she nodded in disagreement. She hadn't told the story of her life in a while but told Sally everything, leaving her jaw dropped and dumb founded, "honey, you're not crazy, if anything, I'll speak to the doctor and pick up your case" Sally said to her in assurance to keep her mood up, "Sally it's dangerous, if anything happens to you, I'd never forgive myself, I'd never forgive the fact that I took away the only support of two old people and took the only mother of two children, Sally please don't help me, I'll get treatment in Europe but don't get yourself hurt or killed, I'll be fine" she said with an assuring smile but Sally wasn't convinced, but knew that Liz had a point, she needed to find a way to help this girl but how? Dr Roberta would come morning, but for now leaving this girl alone in the room wasn't gonna be a safe idea, but she knew suspected that someone was trying to get this girl insane, it was all in a plan, it couldn't be a coincidence that she freaked out  when ever she saw a hoodie person, it wasn't a coincidence that the song she and her late boyfriend knew, was in other lips, someone was coming for this girl but who.
******************************
The next morning, she woke up, "Nurse Sally, good morning" she says with a grin from ear to ear, she looked peppier this morning and was glowing this smiles, "morning sweet heart, will I be a lady bug's mother, you look happier than my twins when they're eating Nana's chilli, darlin' what's so happy bout today", she gave a light giggle and then spoke "Sally, it's Lance's sister's birthday, can I maybe use your phone to give her a shout out", "well that's lovely and sure you can", the handed her the phone dialed the number and the phone rang,
"hello?"
"Happy birthday Elma!!! I love you"
"Could it be, no say I'm not dreaming, Liz? Is that really you"
"Bitch you know, I'm not the kinda gurl to make things plane, cause it's me, what'd you think that I died?"
"Omfg!!!! Bitch I missed ya ass afff, c'mon Lance has been worried sick give or take three weeks"
"Yeah, bout that I told the hospital not to call him, give him the phone"
"Ohh, so you didn't call cause it's my birthday, you called cause of your prince charming, okay, I'll put him on"
Lance answers the phone......
"Hello?" He's deep voice sends warmth to her body, she didn't feel cold even while the AC was on, she had longed for this, he's voice, touch, sight, she'd missed him. "Hello?" He said again snapping her out of there thoughts
"Boo boo bear, it's me"
"Liz, my love is that really you, c'mon darling I've missed you, there was no one to have sex with, I was so bored" he said making them both laugh, "but seriously, I've missed you, it was so hard stating without you, not knowing if you were alive or de...." He swallowed hard, "but you're here now, I'm so happy I'm coming over to see you my love, take care, ohh and tell Sally I said Hi and I'm gonna thank her for dealing with your crazy" he said, they both laughed and then he put the phone down. "So sweetie, I guess Boo Boo Bear's coming over to pay ya a lil visit, it's so good finally seeing you smile, well I reckon he was on top of the world to hear your voice", "yes, he was, I'm so lucky I found him" she said in response to Sally, then her face went dark, "Nurse Sally what's wrong?" She asked in concern, "nothing hun, just that I have used that line in a long while and maybe I'll never use it, it stirs up bad memories, I just never talked bout them much", "Sally, you've helped me have a lighter head bout what I'm going through, just by telling you, I'm not completely brave about all this but I'm putting it behind me, and now I'm smiling, can't you tell your younger sister what's wrong", "I never thought you'd thought of my as an older sister before, that send thrills to my lil old heart, okay sweetie, I'll spill the beans and get the works out" she said.
