Addicted to You

15:confrontation

The night didn't grant me with more than an hour's sleep, and every second I spent unconscious meant my brain was overtaking by nightmares that shook me to the core.Images of Alexa running barefoot through the forest, her footprints covered in a layer of scarlet, flashed through my mind like scenes from a horror movie.I jerked awake.

I'm going crazy.

Did crazy people know they were delusional, was there a way to tell?but the more I thought about it the more confused I grew.

A message popped up on my phone screen.It was from Noah saying he was alright and luckily nothing was broken.I sighed with relief.I had not heard anything from Fidel.

"Kiddo, are you not going to class, you literally have a class later this afternoon...so many classes infact...I feel sorry for you " Katie said doing a last touch of make-up.

"I'm-i , uh, I'm going to stay in today" I said, my teeth chattering from the morning breeze.

"Are you okay?" Do you want some...some tea or pancakes or cookies or call mommy maybe..."Katie asked.

"I'm okay, " I said quickly.

"What is wrong for God's sake Mia...is it Fidel?some boy drama?"

"God...Katiee noooo its not I just want to stay indoors all day...I'd appreciate it if you stopped asking questions....please!"God i didn't want questions infact I didn't want anything I wanted to...to..die.

" Are you sure?...I could stay with you if you not well."The idea of company doesn't appeal to me at all.

"No, I'm okay sweet cousin...here's a favour I'd ask though...tell Noah I'm sorry for last time and I had a great time" i forced a smile before pushing Katie slightly towards the door."off you go!"

"Okayyy stubborn girl, " She said after a pause her voice sounding doubtful.

I had a plan well laid out, I'd lock myself in the room, blankets pulled up high above me, thinking what exactly is wrong with me these days.

How about go see a psychiatrist?maybe he could help me?No no no Mia? You're not crazyy...

I've never wanted to ran away so bad like i did right now.I realised the only solution was to go to a psychiatrist.I took my phone before i changed my mind and dialed Dr.Hilary Jones number and set up an appointment. I strangely felt some kind of relief.

The sky was a hazy morning grey, as i stepped out of our dorm campus.The clouds blanketing the sky seemed to hang heavier than other days.

The urge to run hadn't subsided, and I gradually found my pace quicken from an erratic walk to a light jog.

Alexa's last name is Costa?same as Fidel's... But why do i keep seeing her i dunno in dreams or if its real life...telling me to help her...

"Hey look where you're going missy!" My chain of thoughts were interrupted harshly and my head hurt.I had bumped into a girl.

"Excuse me...."was all she could say before running off.I watched her closely.My eyes went wide...I know her!I recognized her back as she walked out...she had glasses too.That's the girl I'd already bumped into before and she ran off before i could tell who she was.

I followed her and I could see her staring blankly ahead through the crowd.Around me, people walked in clusters and pairs, some holding umbrellas to fight the slow drizzle.

I followed on and on making sure not to loose her.I felt like the coincidental meeting between me and her was definitely not a mistake there was something she needed.

My body drained of terror and my limbs wrapped around fatigue...when i reached near...I let my pace slow.

" Miaaa!!!"

It was then that when i turned around i caught a familiar face.

"Anna?" I was surprised to see her...when i looked to see the girl was gone.I'd lost her.

damn it!

"Anna w..wha..t are you doing here?" I scanned her face and I could see a lot of terror.

"Miaa...you need to come with me..." She cried as i took a few steps towards her.

"What...what's going on?why are you here..."

"I came looking for you Mia...I couldn't find you in the dorms so I was going back and luckily i saw you....you need to come with me.."she was shivering and I couldn't tell if it was from the cold or panic.

"To where...Anna...what's going on?" My mind was still slow and i was dazed.

"Its about Fidel Mia...he's dying and he needs you..." Anna pleaded.

"Wait...what?"

"Yes Mia...he's asked for you.."

"Oh my God Anna what the hell happened to him?" I was freaking out.

"Its a long story I'll tell you...come with me we don't have time"she was getting impatient.

" Did he get in a fight?is it serious?"She ignored me all day way to where her car was packed.

"Oh my Goddd Miaaa I dunno!I dunno!all i know is he's been rushed to the hospice and I'm scared..." She hesitated a little "I don't wanna loose my brother Mia..." A tear or two flowed down her chubby cheeks.

"Hey...you're not loosing your brother I won't allow that to happen okay Anna now cheer up and have faith" i wrapped her into a tight hug.
