Chapter 8 - Neon on My Naked Skin 

Two weeks later.

- You made ​​the right choice. - Iggy said as she kissed my neck. - She's just another stupid little woman. It is not for you.

- Yes, she's just another. - I lied to her is for myself. - You are much more important.

- And fun. - She said smiling. She kissed me, but I did not feel anything about it, it was as if I were not there. Iggy lifted the mattress and walked away toward the door. - I need to get...

- Will it take long? - I asked, but honestly, I did not care.

- No. - She smiled . - I'll just look to buy more sugar.

I smiled back , Iggy came walking out of the apartment. I was thrown on that mattress, glad to be alone. I still could not believe how stupid I was.

- Why do not you throw your pride away and will apologize to her? - Emily sat by my side. - I do not like this Iggy.

- Not my pride, my fear is... - I replied quietly. - I'm afraid to see what I did with it.

- But it will not solve anything to stay here. - Emily started stroking my hair, it was so good that it seemed real. - I know you want Alice here, I guarantee you she wanted to be with you.

- I feel so empty... - I said. - Sometimes I wish to be dead...

- Never repeat it! - Emily warned me. - What is happening to you?

- I do not know... - I replied in the tone of voice as low as possible.

- Oh dear, I did not see you that way... - Emily lightly kissed my forehead. I smiled weakly at her. - Think before you do anything wrong choices lead to sad consequences.

- Thank you, Emy. - I whispered.

It was night, and even having done nothing more during the day, I was dead tired. My eyelids were getting heavy, and I sleep while watching Emily humming and taking care of me.

**I started to run and run tirelessly with dimly lit corridors and dirty. I heard footsteps coming from far away, someone was chasing me. I was so desperate that I stumbled all the time, my heart was pounding with fear.

- Help! - I heard my voice echo across the halls, even I have not said a word. - Help me!

I turned to the left toward the hallway. I thought of Emily, but she did not come to help me, all alone, I cried in fear. All doors and windows were locked, which made me grieve even more scared.

Suddenly the ground behind me began to fall, I tried to run faster, but the tiredness prevented me. I could not take it, as I slowed the speed I remembered everything I had said to Alice. So I remembered every word the gesture, I stopped and let the black hole swallow me.**

I jumped from the mattress. My face was wet with tears, and my heart was racing. I looked to the side, but there was no one to calm me down and say it was all just a nightmare.

I looked out the window above the brightness of the moon was the only thing that illuminated the dark apartment. Despite being in the company of moonlight, I felt anxious to still be in that apartment. I do not want to be alone, but did not know what to do to not have to face it.

I put any clothes, no matter how it was, and ran out of the apartment, running like an idiot scared. I ran, not even having justification for it, in that instant my life had become a nightmare. Some tears flowed from my eyes and ran down my face, I just wanted to understand why all this anguish.
