19th, January
Honestly I don't know why I'm awake at 5am in the morning.
What bothers me more is the fact that I haven't slept yet, and I'm due for an alarm in about 2 hours to signal me to wake up.
Perhaps I'm going crazy.
I really can't sleep.
And I know why.
I'm scared. I'm scared of closing my eyes. I'm scared of turning off the lights, only to expose me to the demons lurking under my bed. Maybe it's because I'm not sleeping at home and I'm not used to the environment.
But I'm still scared.
I don't know what compelled me to do it, but 5 minutes ago I faked my deep slumber.
Always a great liar weren't you.
I had heard my mother on her way to my room and I managed to close my eyes and turned off my phone fast enough for her to not notice that I'm still awake. Without any hesitation she quickly turned off the lights and plucked the phone from my hand, placing it at the foot of my bed. She then closed the door and left to probably complete the rest of her rem cycle.
I wanted to scream "No! Turn the lights back on!" but I'm really not that dramatic. Instead I let her leave.
Leave me all alone in the darkness.
It didn't help either that the bright light from my previously turned on phone made it hard for my eyes to adjust to the darkness.
Moving my hands around the foot of my bed, I try to find my phone.
Hopefully no one grabs my hand right now.
I grab my phone, and quickly turn on the flashlight to light up this room. I look around to see that the room is exactly how it looked like earlier and with that easing my mind, I let out a breath that I never knew I even held.
Soon enough my eyes adjust to the room and I finally remember what it's like to let my eyes rest from the light.
No don't do it, there might be demons hiding in places where that flash doesn't reach.
And for a moment I forget what it's like to not be scared.
Only for a moment though.
I sigh to myself, and reach out to turn on the lights. The lights turn on with the flick of the switch and I turn off the flash from my phone.
That's better. You can see everything now.

Okay first of all lemme just say sorry if you're reading this. This book isn't designed to make sense (I'm practically just splattering nonsense). It's more of designed to let readers hop onto a journey of a normal ordinary girl. Obviously some of them will be about her love life but obviously not everything's rainbows and roses in life. Sometimes it's just thunders and thorns for a while.
