Temporary High

Chapter 7: Pick Up

I see my mom coming towards me with her throat slit, she has a knife. She wants me to join her. I'm frozen I want to run, I need to get away but I can't. She gets closer and closer. Then my dad appears rotting, fogged eyes, stab wound in his heart, dried blood plastering the spot of where the stab wound is. He begs me to join them.

Roseeee come here sweety, we loveee youuuu be with us, we'll be a familyyyyy

I try opening my mouth to say no or stop or something but my throat is raw and nothing comes out. I try screaming, nothing.
Their so close, they reach out to touch me...

I wake with a start, sweat covering me, lungs feeling like they want to escape my chest. I try to catch my breath but it's hard to come by.

Red

Thats was the first thing that popped into my head that I thought could calm me, what the literal fuck?!?

Once I shake him from my mind. I finally decide to roll off of my bed and land on the floor, army crawl to my bathroom and as I body touches the cool tile, I feel electricity shock me fully awake. I grab the edge of the bathroom sink and pull myself up. Once I'm standing. Everything goes black and it feels like someone is squeezing my head, then it passes. Stupid fucking iron problem.

Then my face comes into view,

'well hello there rats nest, dark under bags, just saw a ghost havin ass. how are you today?'

'Eh, you know nightmares and such. You?'

'Same,'

Then I shake my head to come back to reality and out of me having a full blown conversation with myself. I brush my hair and teeth and decide my grey crop top shirt and sweats look fine and if I do go out it still looks fine. I head back to my bed to make it and then decide against it when I see it's only 7:32 am on my phone, so I plop down onto my unmade bed and look at my phone notifications and what do you know Red had texted me. I open the message and read the first one from last night.

*oh, so thats where we're at, "good nights". okay well night, sweet dreams. talk tm?*
1:03 am

My mouth involuntary stretches into a smile

Then one from early this morning

*hey sorry, this makes me seem really clingy but i just want say im really glad u were the person i had to give a tour to and wanted to know if u wanted to hang out today, alright talk soon?* 5:08 am

Hang out today?!

I don't actually have anything to do, and he seems cool. Uhmm yeah that would be fine, I think.

*hey, sorry just wake up. yeah can hang today. my big question is why on earth are u up at 5 am lol?! but other then that hanging out sounds fine.* 7: 41 am

I go to my social media and I scroll down two things before Red had respond. Shit, he's fast.

*morning lol, I have a hard time sleeping ig and just had been up then. I did take a 30 min nap tho. So ig u could say im a sexy vampire *winky emoji* * 7:44 am
