Second dedication-@Cursedgemstone for being the first commenter!
"Rachael!" A voice shouted.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Maybe it's time to make some...preparations."
"W-what? No, no! It can't be!" I screamed. I woke up, in a sweat.
"What's happening?" Steven asked.
"I had another nightmare about Mom dying."
"Mom's been dead for six months now."
"I-I know. Still having nightmares."
"Hey," Dad said, worried. "Everything okay, Rachael?"
"Just had a nightmare about Mom dying."
"Oh, sweetheart, I know, it hurts, but we'll get through it, trust me. The Lord will see us through. I'm thinking about setting up an appointment with Doctor Carson. She'll know what to do."
"I hope so. I'm so scared. This anxiety and depression's been killing me. Especially after the hospital."
"I know, I'm here, I'm here." Dad soothed me. "Go back to sleep. It's three o'clock in the morning."
"Oh, wow, I better get to sleep, then." I quickly went to bed, so tired, hoping the tiredness would ease me to sleep, my hands touching my pillow with the covers piled on me to keep me from shivering.
But Dad's tuck in didn't do much help. I tossed and turned all night, thinking of the image that has been plastered in my mind for what it seems like an eternity.
