A Nightmare's Reality

The Promise

It was morning already. I woke up feeling dizzy and breathing heavily. I remembered my nightmare and goosebumps attacked my whole body. My heart throbbed and hurt really bad. I checked my leg and I saw a deep and huge cut.

I remembered falling on a wooden stair in my dream so....how is this possible. I limped to the mirror and I looked liked a mess. I had a lump on my forehead, the same place I hit my head on the wall in my nightmare. I pinched myself to see if I wasn't still dreaming.

"Maybe I cut myself without noticing when I was at the game on of the stands and hit my head somewhere"
I let myself believe even though I knew something was not right.

My head was throbbing really bad I didn't feel like going to school. I called in sick with Aunt and Uncle. Aunt became so worried but I told her that I had cut myself at the football match. She bandaged my leg and gave me pills.

"Im going now, please be safe Roselyn and take care of yourself"

My full name? She must really be worried I thought to myself.

"Have a nice day and please don't worry about me I'm going to be fine".

I didn't want to sleep fearing what I would dream about. I went downstairs to look for some food to eat. I grabbed some fruit and apple pie. It was frozen so I placed it in the microwave. There was a knock at the door and it was Chelse.

"Aren't you supposed to be at school?", I greeted her with a shocked expression.

"Same goes to you Mrs Roselyn".

We burst out laughing till our lungs hurt. She told me she was worried about me. It was time for me to tell someone about what was going on in my life. I could not keep it a secret and always feel really alone. We sat on the couch and started having some pie.

"Chelse I have something I want to confess".

"What is it Rose, you know you can tell me anything right".

"Chelse please pinky promise me you won't tell anyone else...this is between you and I and I trust you to keep this secret".

"I pinky promise Rose I'll never tell a soul, you are my best friend after all".

"Ok so...I've been having nightmares since my parent passed away but I never told anyone about them, I just thought they were silly dreams. Now I'm having this feeling that someone is following me. First I saw a person through the window in Chemistry looking at me...going home someone was following me and it's the same guy wearing a hoodie".

"O.M.G!! Are you sure you are not imagining things?"

"Do I look like I am"

I replied sarcastically rolling my eyes.

"But maybe you are right Chelse maybe I'm just hallucinating and imagining things"

"If the person keeps appearing in your way we can always inform your aunt and uncle and the police".

"No, not yet this should just be between us for now. Promise you won't tell Chelse".

"I promise. But can we get back to our movie now".

We both laughed and continued with our movie.

"But Chelse what if my nightmares turn to reality".

We both burst out laughing our lungs out at the thought of it. We both assumed those were just fairy tales.

"I think we both know the answer to that" my bestie responded in between our laughter.
