Abnormal Street

Chapter 4

It feels as if all the air from the room is sucked out and I struggle to breath. The headache from this morning comes back and stronger than ever. The pounding in my head is horrid. I can hear my heart beating hard against my chest. I feel all the color drain from my face.

"Is that-"

"Yes." I cut my mom off.

Realization hits me like a truck. I can't ever see her again. Ever. My heart swells and tears prick my eyes. Emptiness invades my body. Who could've possibly done this? A soul less beast for sure. A wave of mixed emotions over take my body. Sadness, rage, fear, and confusion.

She was too young. Her whole life was ripped from her grasp and evaporated into thin air. My eyesight becomes blurry and I see a shadow from the corner of my eyes before black over comes my vision.

...

I open my eyes and I see very bright lights and then fall asleep again.

When I wake up I see my mom at the edge of my bed looking at me. Im in a hospital room.

"What happend?" I sit up and pain shoots through the side of my head.

"You fainted love." I must've fallen on my head. My mom looks at me with concerned eyes.

"How are you holding up?" She asks. I have a feeling she's asking how am handling Kacy's death.

"Im fine." I really don't want to talk about it.

"Im going to get food downstairs in the hospital Cafe. Do you want anything?" She stands up grabbing her purse from a little brown couch next to the hospital bed.

"No." She leans over me and plants a kiss on my forehead.

"I love you Rose." I give her a small smile. When she leaves I close my eyes and silently cry myself to sleep.

"No please no! You don't have to do this!" A girl with dirty blonde hair screamed in terror. I can see clearly. It's a pitch black night and there are a lot of trees scattered everywhere. The girl is running for her life. She trips on her shoe lace and hits the dirt hard. A tall black haired man appears and steps on her hands as she yelps in pain. Kace eyes meet mine and are filled with fear. He raises his axe up high and plummets it into her skull. The man turns around slowly, looks at me square in the eye, and flashes a wicked grin.

Piercing screams fill my ears and someone is grabbing me. When I open my eyes I realize it's me screaming and my mom is shaking me. I sigh in releif.

"Jesus Rose! You want me to have a panic attack!?" My mom yells. She doesn't seem mad just worn out by the events that took place. I stay quiet. After a short moment of silence the door opens and a tall lean man walks into the room with a white uniform.

"All blood levels seem to be in place. Nothing major she just fainted of shock. You should start getting ready to go home" He looks at my mom and smiles. My mom stands up.

"Thank you so much Doctor..." She looks at his tag. "Robinson."

"No problem it's what I do." He smiles once again before he turns and walks out of the hospital room.

My moms signs a couple of documents before we leave the hospital. When I get inside the car the car door almost closes on my leg.

"Shit" I mutter. My mom looks at me and raises an eyebrow but doesn't say anything. The rest of the drive home is spent in silence and I'm grateful because I don't want to talk.

When I enter my house I head straight for my room and close the door. I still haven't come to terms with Kacy's death. I pull out my headphones and my phone and find the playlist I have for skrillex. I put it on full blast hoping it will ease my pain. After about a half hour my mom knocks on the door.

"Come in" I say in a neutral tone. My mom walks inside and almost falls flat on her face because of the large piles of clothes. If the events from today hadn't took place I would've stifled a laugh. But now I'm completely numb.

"Jesus Rose you haven't packe-" I put my earbud back in my ear and raise the volume. My mom takes them off once she notices.

"Rose please listen to me" I look at her.

"What happened mom?" I sigh. She sits down on my bed in front of me.

"Do you want to talk about what happened today?" Now is not the time mother.

"There is nothing to talk about" I lie and tears threaten to spill. This is exactly why I didn't want to talk. My mom catches on to my lie.

"I can't help you if you don't let me love."

"I don't need help mom, I need to grieve in peace." She looks at me with pitiful eyes before she nods and stands up. Right when she's about to walk out the door she turns around.

"Rose when you can please pack up. We're already leaving tomorrow and we need to be all set".

"Okay" She walks out of the room and shuts the door. Leaving me alone with my depressing thoughts.
