Dreams Come True

Chapter Fourteen

My body is numb. I look around but all I see is darkness. I'm surrounded by nothing but silence and blackness. Its killing me. I hear nothing, see nothing. I slump down on the ground and cry, I cry for having met Darrell, I cry for ever having trusted him, I cry because I pissed myself.

But most of all I cry because I miss my mum.

'Mum, if you can hear me. I'm sorry, please help me. I don't know what to do. It hurts, everything hurts. My body, my head and my heart. Please, mum! I'm begging for you to see me through this shitty fucking-'

'Well, that's no way to talk to your mother.' I hear a lady voice say. I turn toward the voice and see her, she's standing in front of me. I see her. I see my mum.

I'm standing here, like a gaping fish, opening and closing my mouth not sure of what to say, wondering if I'm hallucinating or I'm dead.

'You're neither baby girl. Your halfway. You need to turn back around and head home.' she says as she smiles her warm motherly smile that I haven't seen in months. Seeing her happy, brings fresh tears to my eyes.

'Mumma? Is that really you?' I ask her quietly as I wipe my eyes. She hums in responce and nods her head.

'It is honey. You have many more bumps ahead that you need to overcome before you can come with me. It's not your time yet babe' She says and I droop down and cry. I feel a hand run through my hair and I look up and see my mum smiling at me with a sparkle in her eyes.

'Everything will get better. You know what to do, just follow your heart.' She leans in and kisses my forehead. My heart is breaking all over again. Torn apart.

'I have to go now baby. Your brother needs me, I love you so much. I'm so proud of you. Keep doing what you're doing. My baby is all grown up. I love you honey. I must go now.' She turns to leave and gives me one last smile. I try reach out for her, screaming her name through my cries, I nearly touch her but she disappears.

I wake up panting and covered in sweat, I look around and see creme and white everywhere. I shudder as I realise I'm in the most hated place ever, hospital.

"Oh, bell. You're awake! Nurse!" He screams, I stare at him, confused.

Why is he here? What happened? Why am I in the hospital bed?

My heart rate increases as the past events of the past couple of days come rushing back to me.

Darrel.

Kicking me.

Laughing at me.

Mocking me.

Taunting me.

The knock.

Those shoes.

His voice.

It was him. He saved me. My boss saved me.
