Yesterday's Tomorrow

Chapter 1

"Cmon Blanc! Please wake up! I can't lose you!"

I'm Blanc, other known as Bee, but before we get into anything let's go back a bit.

What can I say? I'm an average teen, brown hair, blue eyes, short, and either has my face stuffed in my phone, books, or bed. I have a decent sized room with a flat screen T.V and a gaming console. I love gaming, it's basically my job.

I do YouTube as a "side job" since school is somehow my primary occupation. I'm not in the millions but I do get to go to VidCon and have panels with other gamers. I love it, especially PaxEast. In this day and age you think that girl gamers are known and unbothered but oh boy, they aren't.

I get hate constantly for being a girl gamer. The only few games you can play without harassment mostly is Minecraft and Roblox. I constantly get perverts trying to message me, with the same defense "She's gaming she obviously asking for it", and don't even get me started on the comments!

I still have a lot of supporters that help me, and it does help a lot. Even sometimes I get recognized in public it's so heartwarming. But recently, I've been seeing this creepy guy more and more often. Almost like he's everywhere. 

"Blanc! Time for school!"

"Okay mom!"

Oh, how I love school, the quizzes, the tests the piles of homework and classwork, and everyone who tried to be friends with me for my channel. You really can't trust anyone anymore.

  I hurry and get ready. Just some slight make-up, Adidas leggings, oversized hoodie, and Vans. I grab my keys, ID, and head out the door.

"Bye Mom! Love you!"

"Love you too sweetheart!"

I get in my car and drive to school, but when I get to the corner of my road, he's there. I almost froze but I drove off quickly. I get to school, park in my normal spot, and head inside.

School goes on as normal and me and my friends, Jay and Charity, brother and sister, go back to my house. Jay's a childhood friend so him and Brandon are my the only boys allowed over. Brandon is my boy-best friend and my mom is like his second mom. 

But as soon as we get near my car...

"What the hell? Who did this?"

Jay was so angry and Charity was frozen and written on my back windshield in dark red ink almost like blood "You're next" along with a picture of a girl killed at a drive-by last month.

Jay got a bunch of pictures and called a cab. No way I, nor anyone else was going to drive that car. We went straight to the police department.

The police didn't do much but say "stay aware" and "don't go places by yourself, you never know who it could be" but I knew exactly who it was. That it was the stalker, that creepy man who's everywhere I go. My mom decided that it would be best to go to Charity's house for a couple of nights so I did.

The next day me and Brandon decided to walk to the park, talk about everything going on, what's going on at school, what's happening in the world. It was all so natural, nothing seemed strange, then I heard two pops.

"C'mon Blanc! Please wake up! I can't lose you!"

What's going on? I hear sirens, my shoulder and stomach are in pain. I can barely even see.

"Brandon...what's going on?"

"Shh...don't speak Bee, you'll be okay..."

I lose consciousness, I'm constantly in and out of it.  In an ambulance, going through the white hallways of a hospital and finally having a mask put on me and I'm out.

I wake up in a hospital bed, what am I doing here? Brandon, Charity, Jay and my parents are at my sides.

"Mom...?"

Everyone jumped and all eyes were on me. I feel so sore, I hurt so much, I'm in so much pain. Will someone please tell me what the hell happened?

"Baby... Don't worry y-you'll be fine..."

Mom had stood up at this point and was holding my hand.

"Mom, what happened?"

"Don't worry sweetie..."

"Tell me! I'm tired of not knowing!"

Monitors buzzed and beeped, signaling either my heart rate or blood pressure went up. Nurses rushed in and told everyone to go to the waiting room. Will someone please tell me why I'm in this living nightmare?

"Honey, you shouldn't get worked up while you're here okay?"

This nurse things I want to be worked up? Are you serious? I just want to go home!

"I'll get worked up again and again unless someone tells me why i'm here!"

"If you wanna be miss tough girl then so be it! While you were at Carter park someone had drove by and BAM! You were shot in your shoulder and stomach!"

"Cher-" another nurse said

"Fine- fine I shouldn't be that rude- sorry Miss.Pelant"

"Call me Blanc ma'am"

"alright Blanc, you should get some rest okay?"

And off to sleep I went. Straight into the darkness of dreams.
