Chapter 15

I thought they had stopped.

I thought I had escaped them awhile ago but i guess not. Maybe it's because deep down I feel guilty about my success. Or maybe it's because I'm sleeping somewhere unfamiliar. Or maybe it's my subconscious telling me something.

It doesn't really matter, It's the same nightmare all the time.

As soon as I'm in the scene I know exactly what's going to play out but I can't control anything.

I'm at the beach with my best friend Ally and we had just taken a little break from surfing and I was ready to go back out.

"Let's go!" I say. It feels like I'm watching this version of Ellie from the outside. I don't know this Ellie from over a year ago.

"No no im really tired, I think I'll stay back" Ally Says, taking a drink from her water bottle. Her blue water bottle with tiny watermelons on it.

"Come on, these waves are getting bigger and bigger!" I say. I grab her hand but as soon as we make contact I'm out in the middle of the ocean, clinging on to my surf board.

I look around and I see ally's surf board so I swim over to it. Ally herself is nowhere to be found.

I try to call out Ally's name but my voice doesn't work. I turn around to see a huge wave crashing over me.

All of a sudden I'm at the bottom of the ocean. It's pitch black but I can feel the sand beneath my feet.

I can't breathe. I grab at my throat and try to swim up but I feel so heavy. I can't move my legs. I try to call out ally's name but the water fills up my lungs.

I wake up, panicked. For a second I forget where I am and I hit my elbow on the side of the bunk. I rip open the curtain because it felt really stuffy with it closed. I fumble around the side compartment to find my phone.

I check the time and it's almost 4:30 am. I lie back down for a minute until I realize that I won't be able to go back to sleep tonight. As quietly as I can, I slide out of my bunk and slowly open the sliding door to the back room.

The windows are open in there so I sit down next to it. I can see that we're in some sort of parking lot but that's all I can really comprehend during these early hours.

I lean my head against the ledge of the window and all I can think about is ally. Last year was definitely hard on me but now that things were Turing around I can't help but feel guilty. i fight back the tears welling up in my eyes.

For the rest of the night, or morning I should say, I tried to just tune the world out. I shut my eyes but wouldn't let my mind go back to sleep.
All I could think about was Ally.
