I slowly open my eyes to see my brother sitting next to me
He pushes my bangs off my face and smiles
"are you ok?"
"My head hurts"
He takes out two pills
"Here take this"
I thank him and grab the glass of water when i remember the dream i just had
I look around and notice we are in Hannah's room
"Where is Hannah!?"
"She is in the living room, love.why?"
"no reason"
He sighs but stands up and throws my bag over his shoulders
"We should go home Riku.its already midnight"
I nod and stand up with the help of Rem.
We thank Hannah and head to Rem's car
"I'm taking you to doctor tomorrow"
"Whyyy!?"
"Riku!you just fainted in Hannah's house!and you are not getting enough sleep at nights"
I pout and shake my head
"I'm fine Rem"
"You are not.just tell me what's wrong with you"
"um, I keep having nightmares...."
Rem raised his brows and looked at me
"When you are not sleeping?"
I scratch the back of my neck
"yeah"
"Maybe its because of your lack of sleep We are still going to the doctor"
"Rem you don't understand!"
"Maybe the doctor will"
I roll my eyes and decide to stay silent
There is a lot of traffic ahead of us. Suddenly a light in the rearview mirror catches my eyes
It's that damn smiley face again
I try to cover my eyes but I can still hear his voice
"oh, my sweet child.why are you covering your face.arent you excited?"
"stop please go away!"i yell in my mind
I open my eyes to see that he is gone but when I turn back i notice a dark figure chasing our car.he is almost as tall as a tower
I look at his face and there again is the smiley face
I start to cry and shake hysterically
Rem immediately pulls over and hugs me
"hey what's wrong.why are you suddenly crying?"
I'm crying so hard that I can't talk so I just point to the back of the car
"you are ok.see there is nothing behind us"
I look back and notice that the figure isn't there anymore.
I nod and dry my tears.
We reach home and Rem forces me to go to bed. he thinks I'm just seeing thing because I'm tired.
I just lie there and stare at the roof scared to fall sleep and see another nightmare.
I really need to see Mr Tanaka tomorrow...
