Nightmare

Teddy bear

Upon hearing my six o'clock alarm I woke up to face the same plain white ceiling of my room; covered by my soft and warm pink duvet I reached for my phone to turn it off.

I climbed out of my bed wishing I could stay longer and never part with my dear warm bed that held me all through the cold night, Unfortunately that is impossible.

For some reason I felt extremely hungry , even though I'm sure I eat dinner last night or did I?
Why do I get the feeling that I'm forgetting something.

Ouch!

My head hurts, probably it was something I've done yesterday but I don't recall doing anything out of the ordinary except going to CVS and........what happened after I went shopping?

Ouch! Again this pain in my head.

Ugh! I guess aspirin will do the job, though I don't like to take medicine but it doesn't seem like I have a choice, with this pain in my head I doubt I could focus in class.

After taking a calming shower and singing my heart out :the best medicine in the world.
I dried my hair abruptly and toke today's outfit out of my wardrobe, i decided to go with skinny black jeans, white tank top and my maroon jacket.

I rushed down the stair like a hungry beast all the way to the kitchen where I saw two CVS shopping bags placed on the counter. I wonder why their still here ? Normally I place everything in it place before going to sleep.

I tried to remember what stopped me from doing my everyday's duties, but I was faced with a sharp pain in my head. It's like something or someone is trying to stop me from remembering last night's events.

Oh please stop it with your silly theories! It could be just something you ate yesterday, drink the aspirin and you'll be fine.

My logical part reminded and so I decided to do so after eating my breakfast because I hate drinking medicine on empty stomach.

I devoured my bacon that I so lovingly prepared along side my delicious french toast sticks yum!

I finally sipped the last drop of my coffee and it was time for me to drink that disgusting little creature which we like to call 'aspirin', tell me I'm acting like a child but that thing is a real nightmare for me at least.

Yuk! It left a bitter taste in my mouth, it's like it's telling me 'even if you swallow me, my memory will still linger in your mouth forever'

"Pearl don't tell me you're talking to the pills again"

Oops! My mum caught me with my hands on the cookie jar.

I looked at mum embarrassed while she paced around taking her mug out of the washing-up machine and finally settled on the seat next to me.

"You're really still a kid" mum said shaking her head in disbelief while I shrugged not knowing what to say in defense.

"How 're you feeling sweetie, better?" She asked me concern drawn all over her beautiful face.

"Yeah better now" she flashed me a sweet smile and finished her breakfast in a matter of seconds, I've been trying for ages to figure out how she do that with no results.Its a mystery really.

"Well then we better get going, I don't like being late you know that right?"

Oh yes I know that better then anyone.

On our way to my school i asked mum if she saw anything out of the ordinary when she came home and she said that she had work to do so by the time she reached home I was already sleeping deeply, she also said that when she checked on me I wasn't holding teddy bear.And yes I remarked that too.

The teddy bear was a gift from my dad, he handmade it especially for me.
Not only is it my favorite stuffed toy but also a memory of my dad and a treasure I hold on to. After my dad died I became very attached to the teddy that I was unable to sleep without holding it and imagining my dad while he was making it and so it became a habit to sleep with the bear in my arms.

I jumped out of the car still wondering why I wasn't holding my teddy last night when suddenly Em and Han both hugged me so tightly I was barely able to breath.

What the hell is wrong with this girls!
But to tell you the truth I needed this hug so I can stop thinking about last night and focus on today.

Together we walked happily to the classroom when suddenly out of the corner of my eyes I saw Hades passe by and a sudden sharp pain struck me right in my head.
