Clueless

Chapter 22

I lay on my single bed staring at the ceiling, nothing's really happening. I turn my head to Carly, she's already looking at me. Turning my head that fast has given me a head spin, a bad head spin. It looks as if the whole room is shaking, but I can't feel it at all. I look back at the ceiling and it looks as if the light is flickering on and off but, more dim than it usually is when it's turned on, I'm focused on the light for a good 5 minutes until I am snapped out by Carly's voice.

"Can you see that?" Carly whispers and I turn my head towards her.

"Do you mean the light?" I say and look back up to the no longer flickering light.

"No, the red thing in the corner." She says and I look over to where Carly is pointing, I see nothing.

Carly begins to breathe heavily and she sits up.

"Remi it's moving closer!" Carly slightly yells.

"Shh!" I say, trying to keep her quiet so a nurse doesn't come in. Carly gets off her bed and jumps onto mine.

Not long after, Carly has fallen asleep and I'm scared by the fact that the acid hasn't worn off yet and I'm alone. I pick up Carly and move her onto her own bed. I lay back down and think about my friends. Why haven't they come seen me? Why haven't they called? Do they even know where I am? Are the worried? My mind boggles until I drift off to sleep.

My eyes sprung open and I am in a completely different place. I look around, it's beautiful, where ever I am. I wonder if this place is my mind, or is this place somewhere I have been before, in a past life perhaps.

I decide to walk along the purple and red brick path I am standing on, I feel good, bubbly and I have a warm feeling inside of me. There is hills as far as my eyes can see covered in the most beautiful shade of bright green grass. The trees are a slightly darker green than the grass but the still look just as beautiful.

A rainbow of butterflies flutter past me, so many gorgeous colours, some that I've never thought existed. The sound of their wings are so loud but are slightly calming to me.

I notice that I have stopped walking without even realising it, so I continue walking along the brick path until I am stopped by a women when ridiculously long jet black hair, her eyes are the same bright green as the grass with tinges of dark green throughout. The women is wearing a long, white, flowy dress and also long flowy sleeves.

"That's the way back." She says, and points to the path on which we are both standing on.

"Back where?" I ask, not the slightest bit afraid.

"Back." She whispers, turning around and begins to walk along the path I was walking on. I decide to follow her but she is too fast, I begin running, trying to keep up with her, but she eventually disappears into the distance so I decide to keep on walking. During my walk I notice that my surroundings don't change as I walk, like I'm on a treadmill. What confuses me most is that I'm getting closer and closer to the end of the path, and I can see that, yet to the sides of me, it stays the same.

I finally reach the end of the path and I am faced with the same sofa I have at home. Suddenly I get savvier fatigue, so I decide to lay down on the couch and rest my eyes for a little while.
