Tears and Cookies

Chapter 2: A Change of Thought

I think about it all day. Not knowing what it entails. The more I think about it, the more I want to give it back. I message Ava.
(A=Ava•M=me)

M: Ava, I was wondering if you could take the book back. Sorry in advance :/
A: Yeah sure. I'll be there around 3?
M: I'll ask and let you know.
A: Mkay thx!

I turn off my phone and head down stairs, asking if it was okay for Ava to come over. They agreed saying it was okay. I get breakfast and sit down at the table. I hear my mom make her way down the stairs. Once she makes it down, we start eating breakfast. We talk about my brother/sister, my father, our new family. We were laughing for hours on end. I go back up to my room and see it is 3:15. I call Ava and ask her if she is still coming and she says she's on her way. I grab the book on my dresser and go down the stairs, waiting for her to arrive.

•Time skip•

She walks through the door and I give her the book and tell her why I don't want it anymore. She understands and leaves.

Moments later, I hear a knock on the door. My mother, sleeping, doesn't hear it. I slowly walk up to the door and look out the peephole to see my father! I open the door and give him a hug. He smiles and chuckles. I soon ask him about his day.

"How was work?"
"It was great honey"
"That's good!"

•The Next Day•

*Beep...BeEp....BEEP*

Ughhh....

*Beep...BeEp...BEEP*

*SMACK*
"FINALLY YOU SHUT UP!"
I lay in bed for around 10 minutes. Then I suddenly hear my mother groaning outside my room. I rush out of bed and open the door. She was about to throw up. I ran to the bathroom and grabbed a trash can and put it in her hands, while holding her up. I hear my father's frantic footsteps running up the stairs. As my mother is throwing up, my father comes to take my place. He reassures me that she is okay and that he can hold her. He thanks me for helping.

•Time skip•

She is eating now. She isn't throwing up anymore. I felt like time stopped for a moment. In that moment, everything stopped and all I could focus on is her and how strong she is. I hug her gently and kiss her forehead.

I don't know where I am. I don't know who I'm with. I get up and look around me. There is light mist and very little fog. I suddenly hear something in the distance. Should I go to it? Should I run? Should I help them? Am i in a horror movie? This always happens in horror movies. I hear fast footsteps from behind me and I start running without plans to stop. I run to a shed but it's locked.
"Just my luck"
I continue running and I see a door. I try to open it and it's locked I don't see anything behind it for me to run to so I try to kick it down.

Poof!

It was gone. *10 seconds later*

Poof!

"CRAP!"
KICK
"UGH OPEN"
KICK
"CRAP CRAP"
I hear the the footsteps get louder.
KICK
The door opens then I run through it. Then everything fades to a light yellow. It's the sun coming through my window.

I wake up to my heart pounding.
"Sweetie. Are you okay?"
"Yeah Im fine. Thanks dad"
"Anytime sweetie"
He then leaves my room.

I sit up thinking about what this means and why I dreamt it. Why i had that dream. Did it have something to do with the book? Why did it happen? Who was that? Are they upset?

I sit up in my bed and begin to leave my room...
