Need A Stack

Chapter 31: Bad dream.

"don't take it personal."- Charity Peris.

'Noooo! Please leave me alone!'
I scream at the mystery man as he holds a knife on his left hand heading to my hiding place. His face is covered with a dark mask and I can't trace who he really was.
'Dont even think of that cause I'm not leaving your ass alive!'
He pushes me on the floor as he grits through my hair and I scream with pain. He cracks the house with his tough ugly laugh as he raises the knife to the top with both hands.
I shout and fight for my life but he keeps on following.
I turn back to see him and I find that he just removed his mask!
'Gillard!!!' I scream and fall on my knees and my mind starts to feel nauseated.
Hey! Hey!

"Hey!!!"

I jump from my bed and stand at the far end breathing furiously.

"Is everything okay?"

I shrug from the touch not believing that it was all a damn fucking dream! What the hell was that?!

I continue breathing heavily as I stared at the bed.

"Hey! Amanda?" Julie keeps shaking my shoulder as he taps on my cheek to see if I'm really there.

I finally exhale loudly and I could see my chest pumping out continuously. Juliet hands me water and I drink it without a pause. Fuck! Why would I dream of Gillard that way.... I couldn't stop thinking.

"Here,come on" Juliet raises me and places me on the bed.

"No! I'm not sleeping on that fucking bed...not today!"

She checked on her time.

"Love...it's 4 in the morning...what you gonna do?" She looks worried.

"I'll just...lie here." I sleep on the cold floor without closing my eyes...I could feel the sockets of my eyeballs straining due to the fire that was burning and the effort I kept to make them open with no blinking.

Juliet stands and stares at my shrinked body not knowing what exactly to do. She hands me the duvet and covers me.

"Okay."

She gets back to sleep and I hold on to the blue duvet covers that she gave me. What the hell! Bad dreams have never been my thing!! What's happening?

I kept on turning on the floor feeling the less comfort and the uneasiness.

I checked on the time after several turns and saw that it was still at 6:30 am. The hell! I look at Juliet in the bed and she's sound asleep breathing like a peaceful born baby....I wish it was me!

I rise up slowly and go to the leaving room. I find Alicia who happens to have dosed off while watching TV. She was watching the new series 'Love Goals sn1'. It had started over and she was just there laying on the coach with the remote on her hand so into her sleep.

I stare at the walls having nothing specific to do and I then decide to take a cold shower. I go to the bathroom and switch on the shower as I kept staring at the water flowing through my petite body.

I turned to the mirror fighting the memory of the bad dream I had. Dang!

I stayed up at the shower for an hour or so since the next time I felt myself Juliet was on the door shouting.

"Damn girl..you dead or sumn!!" Open the fucking door."

I rose up from the corner I'd staffed my body and took my towel.

"Really now." I went past the worried girl to the wardrobe to find a wear...I didn't feel like looking good now.

"You got me worried..who stays up at the shower for an hour." She says flashing the toilet.
