Chapter 20

I sat quietly on the hospital bed listening quietly to the doctor as he spoke to my mum.

I am in the hospital right now, it seems when I passed out in school my mum was called and she came over to school and brought me the this hospital.

According to the doctor, nothing is wrong with me.

Thank God.

He says, it's just stress, and I shouldn't think too much because it isn't healthy for my age and a bunch of other stuff that I don't remember.

" so she can go home? " my mum asked the doctor with a worried look on her face.

The doctor nodded his head in response carrying the same plane look on his face. I wonder how they do that think, like if a patient dies they'd just be like ' we're sorry ' and stroll away like someone didn't just die. It's kinda creepy.

I got up from the bed and followed my mum out of the hospital.

I looked at the time on my watch. 😨

9:37

How the hell did that happen, school closed hours ago, from inside the hospital it looked like it was still bright outside, but the thick darkness out here said the complete opposite.

I opened the door to the passengers seat then entered the car. I turned to check if my bag was here and it was, laying peacefully in the back seat.

I faced forward and sat in patience as my mother took her time in starting the car.

I opened my room door and walked in switching on the light.

I dropped my bag on the floor and kicked off my shoes, and jumped on my bed, warning it up a bit.

I then got up and walked to my room door, locking it and witching off the light before jumping on my bed once again, and falling into a deep sleep.

◽◾◽◾◽◾

I laughed loudly at what the boy sitting beside me said. I am at the park talking to this boy.

He laughed too.

" so what's your name " I asked. That isn't something I would normally do but right now, I wasn't in control of my mouth for some reason.

" Ada " he said, I looked at him confused.

" wait, your name is Ada? " I shocked because of how well he pronounced the name, it wasn't common around here.

Suddenly his eyes turned red"  open the door " he said in a very unkind voice.

I got up from the bench immediately, fear, gripping my soul, and slowly backed away.

He still followed me, saying" open the door Ada " I don't understand what he means by open the door.

Open which door?

I tripped on a stone and fell on my back, he was still coming saying the words" open the door "

I began shifting backwards on the floor, while walked forward slowly, suddenly I couldn't move anymore, he kept coming saying" open the door "

I tried screaming but nothing came out, he raised his hand holding a bloody knife.

I tried screaming but still nothing came out, just when he was about to use the knife to stab me, my eyes shut open.

I took deep breaths trying to calm my racing hearth , sweat running down my face.
