Chapter 5 ~ Going Back

As I lay in bed, my mind drifted off to Leather Face. This is part of my daily routine, thinking of the past and remembering those who died. If I don't, I feel guilty and undeserving.. As if I don't deserve to be alive.

Why was I the one who survived anyway? Why me? Out of all the girls, all the girls, I was the one who got through it. Do I feel proud? No. Do I feel happy? No. Do I feel relieved? No. Because everyday I just go through the same pain, the same ache in my heart. I cry atleast twice everyday. But usually, about three or four times. At most, around seven times.

Since I've come back from the traumatizing school trip, the most I've cried in one day is eleven times. Eleven times!! And I hate it, I'd do anything for it to go back to being normal.

I close my eyes, and eventually drift off to sleep.

"You'd do... Anything?"

"Yes, yes! Please, Leather Face. I'm desperate, I can't live like this."

"Whatever I say, you'll do? If it means going back to normal?" he asked.

"YES!" I screamed. He nodded with satisfaction.

"Ok... You must do whatever I say. And I'll make sure everything goes back to normal."

I nodded thankfully. He smiled, but it wasn't really a smile... More of an evil smirk.

I wake up to the sound of birds chirping outside my window. Stretching my body, I climb out of bed and groggily head for the shower. Turning on the hot water, my dream from the previous night fogs up my mind and begins to confuse me.

"Ok... You must do whatever I say. And I'll make sure everything goes back to normal."

I know it was just a dream, but I can't help thinking more deeply into it. While I was in the dream, it seemed so.. real. As if it meant something more. That must sound cliché, but I definitely remember it.

After shaking my head of all thoughts, I step into the shower and allow the warm water to dribble down my tense body. My shoulders feel released of all weight, my mind feels clear, all thanks to a nice, hot shower.

Once I finish my shower, I get out and dry off, putting on my clothes for the day — a simple red top and blue jeans. I exit the bathroom to my bedroom, but can't focus properly on my surroundings. My vision is completely red.

"Now listen to me," a voice says. I whip my head around, up, down, but nobody is there. I look through every spot in the room, even going downstairs but Mum and Dad have left with my brother to go shopping. They left a note to tell me.

Who was that?

"I'm not there," the voice teases. It sounds eerily familiar. Too familiar.

"Who are you? Where are you?!" I question, looking everywhere desperately.

"Oh, I'm not there either. Or there."

I scream angrily, banging my head against the wall in hope to make the voice leave.

"It won't work."

I bang my head even harder but stumble back and fall over, feeling dizzy. Ouch.

"Where are you?" I whisper. My head is killing me but I need to know, as harming myself isn't working at all.

"I'm nowhere."
