The Right Choice.

11. Man or Tree?

I was in a forest and strangely enough, I couldn't see the sky. It was just big trees as far as the eye can see. It was weird because I could see the trees very clearly. I saw the leaves moving by the swift wind on the branches.

I felt the hard ground as I walked my way out and I could make out the colors and shades and shapes but there wasn't any source of light. Then a loud whaling sound came from behind me like someone was crying, it sounded...it sounded a lot like ME crying.

I don't know why but I just felt the urge to run, the whaling was following and I just had to run from it so I started running for my life. I heard my heart beating, only the sound was reverberating all around me, like a drum accompanied by my heavy breathing.

I reached an intersection area when the noise stopped. There were trees surrounding the area in a circular formation and a big empty space in the middle. I stood in the middle then sat down on the cold muddy ground just catching my breath.

As I lifted my head up I saw the trees that surrounded me morphing into the people in my life, there was Rima, Matty, Ace, Ethan, Chris, my mother and I don't know why but there was also Santos Russo.

It was scary, they didn't move, they were still Trees but instead of looking like a tree with leaves and vines, they looked like the people I know.

As I stared into their faces the loud whaling sound erupted in the forest and this time it seemed so close like it was right behind. I quickly got up from the floor and ran in my mother's direction, that moment she looked at me and moved her arms engulfing me in a hug.

I felt so safe in her embrace like everything is going to be okay, as I moved back to see her face I saw it change, it wasn't my mother's face any more, it was turning into someone else's face.

It was turning into Lorenzo Vitale's face.

I was still staring at him in shock while still holding onto him, he's looking back at me as well, and then...*Bang there was a loud knocking sound. As result of the knock the ground began to shake, Lorenzo and the other trees/people were fading away as well, then, I woke up.

....................................................................................................................

*Bang! *Bang! *Bang! *Bang!

I suddenly woke up frightened to the sound of knocking on the door. Goosebumps all over my arms and back. It was so loud I got scared that the door is going to fall of it's hinges. It took me a moment to register where I was. I looked out the window and saw that it was night.

I thought I was having a dream but now I can't remember anything. More bangs came in and now I was getting a head ache, this is NOT how a person should wake up.

Who the hell could that be? Whoever they are they're in for an episode of crazy because they just woke Skyler Fucking Fest UP!

Muttering curse words under my breath, I quickly got up from the bed tossing the cover on the side to reveal that I was still in a bathroom robe. I must've been too exhausted to change.

*Bang Bang

"I'm Coming! Jeez" I shouted and came to unlock the door. Already feeling my poor temples pulsating threatening to explode my head like a detonator. As soon as I pulled the door open, a very angry and red Lorenzo came barging into my room. He turned around so that I could see his redness in perfect lighting, "What The Fuck was that earlier?" He shouted in my face.

Why is he screaming in my face? And what is he talking about? I should really ask these questions aloud,

"Calm down" I said while pressing my hands against my head. "What are you talking about?"
