But it just. Couldn't... Be?
"MUUUM!" I let out an ear-splitting scream and struggled in his grasp. His gloved hands were groping my body, squeezing me tightly until I almost couldn't breathe. Thumping footsteps sounded outside my door and I heard the doorknob rattling crazily.
"MMMM!" I tried to scream again but his hand clamped shut over my mouth, stifling any noise. My heart beat was gradually slowing down, and I felt his hand loosen.
Suddenly, the door burst open with Mum standing in the doorway holding a large, shiny butchers knife. She held it above her head, her face gleaming red and sweaty with rage. I noticed her eyes glint red as she squeezed the handle so hard her knuckles turned pale.
"Where. Is. He?" She asked, gritting her teeth. I shook my head, cowering under the covers.
Slowly, she put the knife down and sighed agitatedly. I diverted my gaze from her cold eyes and sniffed.
"Em, it was just a-"
"Hallucination," I finished her sentence.
"Yes," she whispered sympathetically. I nodded, resting my head against the pillow.
"Maybe we should get you a psychiatrist?" She suggested quietly. I cocked my head up. "What?"
"A-a-a," she stammered. "A psychiatrist."
I jumped up angrily, anger boiling up inside me.
"What?! What?! Do you think I'm crazy? You didn't go through what I had to! You didn't..." I trailed off, fat drops rolling down my rosy cheeks. A waterfall of tears fell onto the bedroom carpet and I fell onto my side, sobbing continuously as if there was nothing to lose.
But that's right. I have nothing to lose.
"Emma, I didn't mean it like tha-"
"GO AWAY!" I yelled, curling up into a ball and gasping for breath.
She nodded, hurt - and left. My carpet seemed to be the comfiest thing in the world as I wept, my eyes beginning to feel sore and turning puffy.
Eventually, I wore myself out from crying and fell asleep.
