Forró Dance academy:at 6:03 am .

Adley p.o.v
I was at my dance academy at an very unusual time one could be at ,it was the time of winter so dwan light was still a bit dim and didn't light up the room entirely.small beats of music could be heard from my headphones along with my fast breathing in the silent room.

I was staring at my reflection in the mirror which wasn't entirely visible in the bad light,my sweat shirt and legeene drenched in sweat,
Single bead of sweat making its way down my neck,as my mind went back to the dream..well a nightmare from which I woke up from in the same state drowned in sweat ,dry throat and panting. weird ,isn't it! how dream make us experience the rollercoaster journey of joy,fear,ecstasy, thrill and then boom!reality smashes at ur face finding it was all a mind game.well in my case I felt relieved!.
They say dreams makes u see wt ur brains going through....a memory which is burried deep in ur mind.. this really leaves me puzzled!

 this really leaves me puzzled!

I was walking along the long unknown hall way with mysterious people staring at me .Thier faces showing anything but kindness or respect, thier stares and whispers full of disgust,I wanted to escape out of this malicious place.my running came to a halt in front of a light brown door with a silver doorknob. Room number 76.....the door and number was completely nostalgic....I Heard whimpering which ultimately turned to sobs.i was suddenly taken aback by the sounds.Hesitating I opened the door and took a peek inside to be greeted by the darkness and few fairly lights illuminating the room....a familiar room.There stood a isolated figure near the bed particularly a girl. I froze .Her short wavey hair tucked behind her ear , those lively beautiful blue eyes I adored the most looking at me with a toothy grin ,which rather conveyed sadness and dissaponment more than happiness.my stomach twisted to knots seeing her!,tears forming at the back of my eyes.,my mouth gaped to speak to her,my hands moved forth to reach her but before I could, I heard a small whisper leave her mouth.."ur too late leyy....ur too late"with the same grin and teary eyes.Within a blink she was gone with a shrilling scream echoing in the room and suddenly a body swinged in front of me ..tied to the ceiling. Both hands on my mouth with tears streaming down my cheeks. I was seeing the most disturbing sight of her ,her lively face now turned into white pale soul less body,I wanted to lookaway so badly,but I couldn't,it was like my whole body froze,my eyelids denied to close., my voice was stuck in my throat,my whole body paralysed just the salty water was dripping down my cheeks!leaving me to grieve by myself in my most vulnerable state.
It was like a huge bolt hit me in my entire body I was jolted awake from my dreading nightmare in my single bedroom apartment all by myself in my bed.beads of sweat covered my whole face along with tears,my stomach twisted ...I ran to my bathroom basin and puked my guts out.splashing my face with fresh water brought me back to reality but everything from my dream was clearly plastered in my head, the foul taste of bile was still in my mouth, looking at my reflection.i could see my puffy face,red eyes .Guilt was all I could feel.
I took a warm shower decided to go back to bed. Sleepy was the last thing that I could feel ,after fumbling in my bed for hours I decided to give up,Sitting on my bed I eyed my antidepressing pills at my side table.helping myself with a glass of water I gulped down the 2 pills .changing into something comfortable,I picked up my phone, keys and headphones around my neck and i left the house glancing at my table clock blinking 4.03 am in the morning.after leaving my apartment,I saw it was still pitch dark outside so turning my phone torch on, I made my way towards the only stream in our town, settling my loafers and socks aside I let my feet dangle in the cold water letting my thoughts wander...

Past,

"Leyy!!! don't be a boring ass of a person now, which I let u be for the whole week!its Friday!u can sort ur project any other time,and clubbing sounds fun!" said the hyped up girl as she was jumping out of excitement in my room going through my album collections,her skin bright and shiny due to the sun kissing her skin through my window!her Bobby hair style giving her features a sharp look,"what part of smelly drinks, sweaty people, earcrashing music and whole bunch of drunk bastards and hoes looks fun to you"I asked her as I placed my round spects on my table looking at her with a not so excited look.,she pushed out her plump lips and pouted feeling offended! "And spending ur weekend with these pile books makes u thrilled?.. u need a life nerdy!"seeing her sulking made me kinda sad, Ezra Gracia was a smart and cheerful girl who was also an orphan.,she got admitted to st.xaveirs as freshman with me this year with her hardwork,she was brought up in a orphange moved out at 15 years of age with her scholarship,we both met eachother in our college as we are neighbours..well hostel room neighbours (if that makes sense)I was really in love with this girl bcoz of her cozy behaviour but like they say none is perfect she had her own demons inside of her.,she was one of the hottest girl in our campus and she did took advantage of it alot,but she wasn't one of the hoes just "having fun " as she says ."I'm okay with being called nerdy! But clubbing at 'glazed red' that too at the weekend is a big no! no!.periodt !"I ended.she gave me her infamous puppy look which I refused to look at!giving up she finally said..."ahahaha!jdjskka!!fine miss Mary the innocent..we ain't going clubbing but at least come out of this mess called ur room,I wanna show u smth well a place exactly!"she said defeated "alright!ez m tired of ur whining..5min I'll get ready"... both of us walking on the streets to her destination . she was talking about my crush nial and how I should make a move all giggling and teasing!we were having our time when she came to halt and took my wrist and made ourselves through the bushes to be greeted with the stream and its earthy scent! "I gotta say didn't expected smth this peaceful from ur side"I stated.she simply removed her shoes and placed her feet in the water and ushered me to do the same.i sat beside her to find her looking far into nothing "u really love this place don't you?"I asked expecting her to say smth she jus threw a giggle through my way and smiled sadly at me looking into my eyes and kept her gaze down to her feet in water,after what seemed like 10 mins she turned to me and said "sister Roseline from my orphange home said she met my mother here for the last time, that she handed
Me to her said that her life was in her hand now and went away" biting her lips "even my own mother won't afford to bare me ,u know the worlds unfair,maybe I was born to be left alone" I could see the sorrow in her eyes,she turned away breaking the eye contact probably hiding her teary eyes.she had a hard life I knew that "u know the tough times are the ones who make us strong and give us the bestest reward"she didn't look at me "what if I say I dont want the reward ...not at cost of losing my own mother"I was speechless she was right though no-one would trade their family for any reward at least I wouldn't. "Just know that u have me even in ur bad times I'll be always by urside"that was all I could muster up to say

I slightly chuckled at my nostalgic memory as my body turned numb "I wish I was better before ,ur right I'm late I always was"even the peacefulness here was taunting my sanity not having the strength to deal with my internal issues I wanted my mind off this dream and my past,so I quickly got up and wore my loafers and sprinted off ,away from the stream
Dance was my way of running away from reality to the fantasy world, This is how I found myself inside the forró dance academy walls dancing my sweat off to get my thoughts out of my mind!
