Dreams

Regret

I came back home and took a shower. It's 4:30 pm. Thinking about what happened today it's kinda frustrating. And now when I think about it, it feels like I overreacted. I should have stay calm. Though I wasn't completely wrong but a sudden guilt has captured me. I sigh.

Knock knock... I hear a door knock. I leave my damp towel on my chair and straight up to open the door. Strangely when I open the door there was no one on there. I check outside if mom was there. But mom is still on the grocery store. I came back onto my room and close the door. I kept my hair dryer somewhere but couldn't find it.
Knock knock... again I heard the sound.

This time I was getting scared. As I realised that there is no one in the house. This time I took my hockey stick  and approaching the door slowly. Trying not to make any noise. I grabbed the door knob and turn it slowly get myself ready to face if there was anyone. As I fasten my movement and open the door I was about to hit whatever came in front of me. But before I hit I realised that my mom was standing there!!

I got startled.
"What happened?? And what are you doing with this hockey stick??" Mom asked.

"You scared me!!! I thought you haven't came back from the groceries.
Were you playing a game with me!!!! Ugh I got scared!!!" I muttered.

"What game I just arrived home!!!"
"Than who knock first? I open the door and you weren't there." I exclaimed.
She gave an worried expression that I couldn't read.

"Maybe you were hallucinating! Just stay at the room. I will make coffee for you.." she said as she was leaving towards kitchen but then she turn back and said,
"Ariana, if ever someone came in the door and ask you to leave with them... just don't go..." and left.

It was weird, why would anyone ask me to go with them. But I sense another emotion without worries.... that was fear.

I was unconsciously scribbling something on my notebook and thinking about Avon. So many things were happening nowadays. First those dreams, then Avon and now mom! Ugh I can't take it anymore. I closed my diary and took my cellphone to check my social media account. Though I don't use em that much. But It's a nice way to kill time. Other than that I rather like to watch videos or read online comics. There are some friends request pending for approval. Normally I accept those requests whom I knew in real life.
Avon sent me friend request.
It's not unusual for him to sent me friend request but something was wrong with me. I checked his account and pictures if him smiling. I smiled unconsciously. But I feeling guilty too. With this mixed up emotions, I closed all the apps.
Thud-thud thud-thud.....
My heart was beating uncontrollably. I took a deep breath and lie down. It was 11:21pm. I was starting in the celling.

Suddenly I heard the knock, again.
I rise up to open the door. But there was no one. I close the door. Again, knock knock....

It's weird and this thing is terrifying me. I opened the door in the first place thought It was mom. But now its getting terrifying. I grab my hockey stick turn off the light and approach to open the door. This time I didn't hit, but hide behind the door, plan was if something goes wrong I will escape as soon as possible. As I open the door I saw a shadow of someone standing there. That's definitely not my mom. It was a lady, she's a bit healthy than my mom and had big hair bun. She was searching for me. She tries to walk inside the room. I saw her shoes, it was brown leather shoes. My assumptions came back to be true. Mom doesn't have this pair. I clenched my hockey stick Than suddenly,

"Ciara!!! Where are you going" i hear my moms voice. I raise up and turn on the lights so that I could see her face.
Unlike my imagination she was really pretty woman. She was looking at me when I stood in front of her. She had reddish brown hair and green eyes. But the most charming thing was, her smile.
