I quickly raise from my bed, gasping for air. My whole body felt sweaty, my clothes sticking to me.

I rub my eyes, groaning. Once I remove my hands, I look to see a figure at the end of my bed. I jump, gasping again.

But once my eyes adjusted, with the morning sunlight coming through my windows, I noticed it was Bob.

"Bob, what the-" I stop myself from cursing, letting out a heavy breath.

"I couldn't sleep" he mutters, his eyes staring at me ever so uncomfortably. Almost like those eyes in my dream.

I break away from the eye contact, moving the blanket off of me. I turn over to let my feet dangle, putting my head in my hands.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Bob asks me.

"Yeah. I did" I answer, grabbing my phone from my nightstand and checking for any notifications. I place it back down when I saw nothing important.

"What was it about?" He asks.

"I don't wanna talk about it" I sigh, standing from my bed "you hungry?"

He nods his head.

I look over his standing form, then wondering. "How long were you standing there?"

He shrugs.

"Did you even sleep?"

He shrugs again.

I sigh, walking over to my closet "ok, well... I need to change."

He stays in his place.

"So can you go outside?" I continue.

He looks to the door, then to me. After a while, he finally walks to it, opening and walking out. I push the door closed, not wanting his eyes on me any longer.

But as I changed out of my pajamas, I could still feel someone watching me. I quickly change to my casual clothes, just wanting the feeling to leave.

I walk out of my room, seeing Bob standing right in front of it. I ignore him, walking to the living room to find Jade. There I simply see a blanket and pillow. Maybe she went back to her room since Bob isn't in it.
I turn back around, seeing that the door to her room was closed.

I go to it and knock on it.

Silence.

I look over to see Bob standing beside me.

I knock again.
...
Nothing.

I go to open the door but it was locked.
I try to force it open while knocking "Jade? Jade, why's the door locked?"

She never locks her door, this was completely strange.
And to not even respond, it just feels like something bad happened to her.

I turn and walk past Bob, going to the storage closet and swinging it open. I look through the things, trying to find the keys for the rooms. I push each useless thing out of my way, some of them falling to the ground. Finally I found the pile of keys, making me turn back and run to Jades room.

That was until I noticed Bob was standing right in front of it.

"Bob, move out of the way" I order, going to move him but he puts both his hands on me, stopping me.

"I'm hungry" he states.

"What?" I exclaim.

"I'm hungry, let's go eat" he continues.

"Bob, nows not the time to eat! Please move!" I demand, having to push him out of the way. His back hits the wall beside us, but I ignore it.

I scramble to use each key, all of them seeming to not fit.

"Jade! Please open up!" I yell, using the second to last key.

Finally it works, unlocking the door. I quickly open the door, looking for Jade.

And there she was. Floating with Her head tilted up. I stare at her in shock, not knowing how to react. I drop the keys.

How the fuck was she floating?! I walk to her, trying to weigh her down. She descends a bit to my weight, her eyes pearly white.

"Jade?! What the fuck, are you there?!?" I shake her, trying to get her out of this state but she remains.

I let go of her, letting her float back to her place. I turn my heel to grab my phone from my room-
Until I realized how stupid I would sound. Hi, my friends floating, help me.
I'd sound completely chaotic.
I need someone else to see this.
