"I still have my bed. I still have my phone and laptop. Why do I still have my socials? Why do I look fat? AND WHERE IS MY HEART MONITOR?!" screamed my mind early in the wake of dawn, 5:30 AM.
I rose, awake, with a massive headache and a very runny nose when I heard my alarm clock ringing, but that was not the biggest surprise of the morning: I was wearing my former school's uniform. I stood agape in front of my room's mirror. I cautiously touched the fabric around me and it felt... real.
"What in the world is happening?" I mumbled, asking to myself as I could feel panic rising through my veins to my brain.
As if the world could get any weirder, my gay friend, Luca, entered the scene and gave me a bone- crushing hug. He was in his usual make-up and quirky fashion trends. He had his signature weird looking hat that he joked he stole from someone at the met gala last year. Why is he here?
"Riri, OMG! Did you forgot that we are not to wear our uniforms today? Wait. What is that smell? Seriously, Riri? This was the uniform you wore yesterday. Ugh! You smell like Lewis." Luca dramatically said as he placed a finger below his nose. Wait. Yesterday? I was at home yesterday. And who in the universe is Lewis?
"Uhmmm... Luca, what are you doing here? Did you forgot what Uncle said? You're not supposed to be here. And I started homeschooling, right? Don't tell me you forgot." I said to Luca as I pushed his butt out of my room as we moved towards the kitchen, still couldn't shrug the weird feeling I had in my gut.
"What do you mean, girl? Uncle Hottie did not tell me anything. Homeschooling? Dream on, sistah. We have school. Anyway, Lewis is coming over in ten and you are still in your Pjs, especially in your least sexy. Sweet Pea, you need to change. I'll be waiting here." Luca said as he pushed me back inside my room and closes the door. Hey! I was in my uniform a second ago. WHO. IS. LEWIS? CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON?!
I quickly opened the door once again and brought my head out. I need an explanation this instant, and if I don't- I swear my head will burst open to pieces.
"Luca, who in the world is Lewis? And why are we to dress to impress? I thought you told me not to have that freaking stupidity of a mindset?" I asked, almost wearing an angry face.
"Uhh... Sis, did you hit your head? Lewis is your boyfriend." Luca asked, weirdly looking at me.
"Uhmmm..." I droned out, not knowing what to say next. I never had a boyfriend who was a Lewis or any at all. Hehe... I never had a love life in that matter.
"Brayden Lewis. Your boyfriend."

"What was my dream?" I asked five minutes after I woke up, startled.
Surprisingly, I woke up at around four in the morning without any help from the maids nor my alarm clock. The view of my terrace was still blocked by the coral pink curtain and that I was thankful. I slowly walked towards the bathroom to wash my face. I was in no mood to have an hour long bath. I, then, walked towards my walk- in closet to pick my outfit for the day. Not that it is necessary because it isn't, since I would just be home the whole day, but I like to feel stylish all the time.
After doing my morning routine, I quickly walked to the kitchen to not lose the opportunity to cook myself breakfast. I love to cook since it distracts me from stressful and frustrating things. Being at home and being treated as a sick puppy frustrates me, but I can't cook that often now since my uncle does not want me so.
But, I love doing things that I am not supposed to do.
So, I cooked myself some eggs and bacon. Also, I toasted some bread and secretly hopped towards the garden to get an apple to go with my meal.
I ate my breakfast alone and I surprised myself when I left no crumb on my plate. It made me feel like I have no such thing as ED. Wow! I think therapy really did something to me. It shocked me that I forgot about calories and fats for the first time, that I forgot to care.
After washing my plate, I quickly ran towards my room and opened Netflix, deciding to watch a movie or two. It went on and on for a couple of minutes, but then I heard a car stopping in front of our porch. We have visitors? It's eight in the morning.
For the first time in weeks, I pushed open my terrace door and checked who our guest is. It made me feel as if I was a stalker, but boredom makes you do some silly things. So, who cares? By our porch, there was a white car, parking and it made me feel this kind of feeling when I realized that car seemed familiar. I closely watched the car door to see who would come out.
A boy around my age went out. In his so ever tucks and ties with his high-end glasses and I watched as he marched out of his car towards our main door. He clicked the doorbell and I felt my blood boiling.
Believe me when I say, I remember my dream now.
Brayden. Brayden Lewis was by our porch after years of radio silence.
"Audrey, what the fu--"
