Chapter 4 "Come in Darling"

☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾
As I opened the front door I was shaking because I knew my mother was gonna give me one hell of a scolding for not being home while she and grandma were gone. Walking into my house grandma was carrying John in the living room trying to calm him down. She came close to me and scolded me instead.

"Melanie Marie! Is this anytime to be coming home!?"

"No...grandma. I'm sorry, Flo told me and Jenny to stay a little bit later so I could practice and get a feel for the diner so I can be the best waitress you have ever seen." I said giving a little sad puppy face as I lied.

"What!? You got the job at the diner? Oh honey I'm so happy for you!" She said hugging me while John was still in her arms.

"Thank you grandma for understanding, I should really get to bed now."

"Oh no honey go, you need to have a good nights rest for your new job. Poor thing you must be so exhausted." She said as she walked around and bounced John in her arms as she calmed him down.

I ran up the stairs and changed into my pajamas and got ready for bed. As I laid in bed, I sometimes wondered about grandma. She was scolding me one moment and then the next she was happy and worried about my beauty rest. That woman was one mystery and wonder I tell you. 

I can't believe I told Jimmy I was going to visit him! I don't regret saying it but I myself was surprised I even said it and that I kissed him on the cheek. I was really starting to like him a lot and just everything about him was perfect. I just kept replaying our hands touching in my head and him hugging me. I closed my eyes and everything was just replaying over and over. I didn't wanna stop because in reality I was falling for him and fast. I've never felt like this before and just something about him made it five times more special than if it was another guy. I fell asleep with a grin on my face as I thought of him...

TRIGGER WARNING:

Again here I was in the darkness. Every step I took was like a step into the unknown because it was simply darkness everywhere. I looked down at my arms and there were deep cuts up my forearms and by my wrists. Blood was flowing out of my arms and onto the white dress I was wearing. My feet were dripping in my blood as I wiggled them. I could hear a faint sound of a jack in the box but that's when I realized I couldn't move, it was like someone was holding me by the throat just ready to snap my neck. I took a deep breath in and I quickly started to choke gasping for air. I could feel the hands around my throat grip harder as my last breath and sight was looking into the complete darkness.

I shot up from bed holding my chest once again taking deep breaths. I rolled up my long sleeve pj shirt to look at my arms and they were perfectly fine not a scratch on them. These nightmares were really getting to my head. I was scared for my life because with all these nightmares, I feared that they would actually come true. I closed my eyes slowly until I fell into a deep sleep once again.

I felt someone tickle my nose and I already knew it was my mother. She would always tickle my little nose to wake me up when I was little. I yawned and stretched as I woke up and lifted from my bed.

"Good morning sleepyhead! Did you sleep well?" She asked as I started to change into my uniform for the diner.

"Good morning to you too mother! Yes I slept ok."

"Oh honey, don't bother putting that on it's Sunday the diners always closed on Sundays, Jenny stopped by to tell you but you were sleeping so I let you sleep in a bit." She said as she started to fold my uniform back up. She then started to fold my bed and clean around my room. I knew my mother was nervous when she would stress clean, something was on her mind.
