Hanging On (SEQUEL TO PEOPLE CHANGE)

chapter 7

a/n - yay update! 

okay, guys, this is one of the chapters that's gonna lead up to the climax. this story isn't going to be that long, i plan for it to be like 30 chapters, more or less. the foundation of this story has already been built from the previous book. :) 

chapter 7 :) 

I feel like I'm going insane. I'm losing my mind. I can't differentiate reality from fantasy anymore. I don't know what's happening anymore. 

I keep having these illusions and visions and dreams that don't make sense. 

One second I'm in another world and another second I'm back in the real world, screaming at the top of my lungs and people believing I'm crazy. 

People have stopped believing in what they say. Because they don't understand and see it, they don't believe. 

Even those closest to me has distanced themselves from me. 

Ross doesn't sleep next to me anymore. Rydel and Vanessa don't take me out on shopping trips anymore. Riker isn't there to share my problems with. Rocky and Ryland don't hang out with me anymore. 

I isolate myself from them and block everyone out. I lock myself in my room, talking to myself like there's someone beside me. There probably is.

I'm alone. 

Plus, there's this issue with all these apparitions and phantoms that come in my sleep or make an appearance. 

The little girl and the man in my dreams. 

They're both haunting me and destroying my life. 

I don't know if they're out there to destroy me or if they're protecting me. At times, it feels like they're warning me and giving me a sign but 85 percent of the time it feels like they're going to ruin my life and kill me. 

I have no idea what their goals are.

I don't want to find out any soon. I don't know if knowing would do me good or bad. 

"Ignorance is bliss," they say. 

All I know is that they're coming for me. 

And that I don't know what's real anymore.
