She ran a hand through her hair and tried to calm her frantic, racing heartbeat. Placing her heels on the cold, wooden floor, she attempted getting out of her space of solace, her bed, but her sore legs betrayed her, collapsing to the ground.
Her knee slammed into the cool flooring, and her locks swayed from her back, over her shoulder, landing on her knees, and the second they grazed her kneecaps her entire body erupted in goosebumps, her pulse quickened and every muscle in her body tensed up. Her heart felt heavy, and her insulated home didn't feel very insulated anymore. Her thoughts wandered to her dream, and the similar sensations she had in it, and Aubree could've sworn she felt the same acidic air uninvitedly slip into her lungs, but she dug her nails into her palm and shook her head violently, resulting in her snapping out of her trance-like state and released a long, haggard sigh, supporting herself to get up to go to the bathroom.

"Yes! Yes! Snow day!" Aubree's little brother screeched, running around her in circles.
Trying to dodge him, she weaved in between him and the milk he'd conveniently spilled on her bedroom floors and rolled her eyes, wishing she was an only child for the nineteenth time that day.
Throughout the day, she kept feeling flashes of cool breeze grazing her bare shoulders and when she questioned her family about it, she got nothing but a "You good? Are you sick?"

When the dreaded hours came where she had to sleep, she tried forcing her eyelids to defy gravity, but after she'd reached a point where she had to pull her lashes up to be able to stay awake, she gave up. But, as expected, each time she closed her eyes, she would see herself...there.
She turned, facing her window, her eyes half open, staring at the lights outside, glimmering through her tear filled eyes.
Why was she crying?
Why was she feeling a sudden pang of nostalgia?
What was going on with her?
She closed her eyes.
