Addicted to You

18:Strategy

Psalms 55:5_Fear came and trembling came upon me, and horror overwhelms me.

When I was a little girl, I'd always wanted to have superpowers, be able to fly or maybe find a genie in a lantern, perhaps buried beneath the soil in one of our paddocks, and it was much more than getting signed by Justin Bieber, like I had suggested to my friends.

There was that and also also pushing my curfew a few hours back, and this time I Really needed the magic to work on erasing all the memories of Alexa in my head.

The chill had been melted away with a bright morning sun, and though the sing-song of the birds in the forest was not enough to shake me of the nightmares from the night just past, they hinted optimism.I couldn't afford to take it

I'm definetly gonna see Dr.Hillary today...maybe jusstt maybe I really I'm going crazy.

I thought and I held on to my bag full of books cringing, and speaking of books I don't remember the last time I actually did open a book to read.

"Buenos dias Mia"

I got startled and nearly caught my heart in my hands.

"Woaahh...be careful darling....Sorry I scared you"

Ugh Noah!

"Hi, Noah nice to see you!" I half smiled.

"Nice to see you too girlfriend...I'd love to catch up this weekend..." He said beaming with a huge smile.

"Uhmm Noah..."

"There's a party at Madison's you should really come" He had said before I could respond.

Don't get me wrong but I always thought us girls were accused of being chatterboxes but I could see guys being pretty good at that too.

"Noah...I'll see if I'll come..but I ain't promising you anything...okaayy" I said gently as though explaining something to a little child.

"Okay okay no worries at all honey...at least promise me you'll be careful and not get startled too much.." He winked and walked away.I watch him as he walks off with some group of boys.

My phone buzzes and I get jump up alittle.God does it have to be so loud?!

I ran up the stairs to the bathroom..its Sundus and I wanted to talk to her well.The bathroom always has network.I catch my breath and pick the call still breathless.

"Bitch, are you from having sex?"

"Wait whaatt?" I'm still catching my breath.

"Why you breathless?oooww I know...its that Fidel guy huh...he's been giving you butterflies" I hadn't told Sundus anything about Fidel...scares me how she knows.

"Wait...where did you get that?"

"I have my sources yah know" She half laughs trying to fake some accent which makes me laugh as well.

"Anyways life's really getting hard for us bih" I could feel the mood changing.She was sad.

"What's happening?first of all I'm really sorry I haven't been catching up with you lately...I have a lot going on..."I was guilty of that I barely called my mom too.

" Its okay...I understand...its University life right?"She laughed and continued."We really don't have any money Mia...and this time I'm afraid we finna be thrown out of the house and be homeless."I swear I sense she was there were tears in her eyes.

"Wait wait...shut up...ain't nothing like gonna happen okay bih,imma gonna work and I'll help you and your mum" I wish I could hug her.

The first time I met Sundus, she had grazed her knee by falling in the dirt, and her hijab, which was white was covered in mud.She hadn't cried about it, though, girls didn't cry on soccer camp.

She stood proud and strong.I had won her affection when I offered her my scarf I had wrapped around my neck.Even now she still had the scar across her knee.

"Okay I'll talk to you later I have to see someone bye best friend I love you"I hang up.

I set out to find Dr.Hillary during psychology.His office was outside the building though.

After sneaking into his building and knocking on his door multiple times, he opened the door.

" I need your help"I was close to crying with everything Sundus had just told me and my regular problems I was about to explode.

He opened the door wide enough for me to slide in.In light, the office was a little more lively, sun filtering through the curtains.

"I know its not really time for stuff like coffee, but I need coffee.Want one?"

The fact he was acting so nonchalant had me on guard."sure"

"Talk to me sugar"

"Well...I been seeing things and having weird dreams...infact scary dreams and actualy its getting out of hand I now receive threats...I don't wanna die..please tell me its all my imagination and its not real..." I blurted words all at once and tears were pinching at the corner of my eyes.

Dr.Hiary paused, his face contorted in fear, I could tell he was trying to keep it together for me and I appreciated it.I missed the comfort of being a child, when everything was filtered to make sure you were okay.

"How long has it been happening to you...Miss Demorest?" He asked..this time with a serious face.

"I don't know quite some time now...Just please make it go away"

He smiled a little."its not a matter of making it go away it is a matter of fighting it...and that...Miss Demorest you will have to do by yourself"

"How..." My voice was breaking.I was desperate.

"I can tell you how..."

I got interrupted by a call from my phone and everytime my phone buzzes I get startled.

It was Katie.

"Can I take this real quick Sir?" I said pointing at the door.

"Sure"

I went outside and I was sure there was nothing important she was going to tell me apart from her usual boring topics or probably try to drag me with her to Madison's party.Shock on me!

"Girllll...you have a delivery man and he is going on about his money...he's very strange you know...you have to get here immediately! You don't wanna upset him trust me"

And with that she hang up.

My mind quickly went to Alexa and the delivery guy last night.I had to go before he hurt Katie or anyone for my case.
