You're Not Alone

Nightmares

They had got me. I was screaming for my dear life. They were strangling me tightly with their words. I couldn't breathe. I was going to die.

"Die you pathetic animal! Nobody wants you around! You're better off dead!" They chanted.

Sharp shards of glass pierced into my skin I screamed even louder. The pain was unbearable. I couldn't stop screaming. I felt someone holding me calling my name. I fought and thrashed against their grip but it was no use. I just kept screaming, thrashing, crying and slowing dying.

That's when I woke up.

"Aurora! Aurora! It's me Andy are you okay?"

I was out of breath. I touched my neck. Nothing was strangling me and there wasn't any glass anyway to be seen. I was still in shock though. i couldn't help but to cry and shake. Another nightmare.

He slowly rocked me back and forth to get me to calm down.

"Breathe in and out."

I did what he said. I eventually got my breathing back to normal.

"Are you okay? You scared me then."

"I'm fine, j-just another nightmare." I whispered.

He kept gently rocking me till I fell asleep. I felt the movement of me being placed in laying position. It wasn't long before I had fallen back into a deep sleep.

I woke up in an unfamiliar scenery. This isn't my bed! Not only was I in someone else's bedroom I swear I was sleeping with that person. I quickly sat up and turned to face the person beside me. Andy? What the fuck is going on!?

I started shaking Andy telling him to wake up.

"What the hell is going on! Why am i here?"

"I-don't you remember anything about last night?" He mumbled.

Things were starting to come back to me. Almost getting murdered, Andy taking me his place, everything we told each other, and the nightmare.

"Oh, I remember, uh sorry." I was so embarrassed.

"Now it's coming back to you" He said yawning.

I checked my phone.

"Oh fuck we're going to be so late!"

I showed Andy the time and we basically fell face first onto the floor and scrabbled off to wherever we needed to be to get ready.

Andy was slower than me surprisingly. I literally had to shove him out his own house.

We threw ourselves in the car. It wouldn't start.

"You've got to be kidding me!"

"It's on half full though."

"You sure?"

I banged the dashboard.

"Oh wait nope it's empty great. Just great!"

I got out and ran to the garage.

"Aurora what are you doing?"

I pulled out two bikes they were both flat but I managed to find two pumps.

"Are you going to help me or what!?" I yelled.

In no time we were on our way to being fashionably late to school.

We got a late slips and ran to class. We handed the slips to the teacher and quietly sat down at our seats.
