Highschool Clichés

~Chapter 13~

I groan, getting up out of bed and looking down at my sweaty body. It was another nightmare, only this time it was much worse. I wasn't tied down in the chair anymore with my mother, Dimitri, Ciana, Naomi, Amalia and Seth surrounding me. This time, I was alone in darkness with the sound of someone's laughter sounding all around me. I ran, shouting for help, but where ever I ran off to, the person's laughter seems to follow, until I saw a light shining in the distance with two figures standing a couple feet apart.

They both were in dark clothes and their faces were a dark fog. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but from the looks of it, they seemed hostile with each other. One of the dark figure held his/her hand up and a gun appeared. The laughter seemed to get louder and louder and I just stood there and watched as the person shot the other figure multiple times.

A searing pain coursed through my body the minute the person's dead body hit the ground with their blood flowing like a river. The laughter immediately stopped and the feeling of loss and guilt consumed me. I tried moving to get close to the person and see who it was, but my feet were glued to the ground. I cried and screamed but I couldn't understand why I felt so hurt and I started shouting curses at the figure that pulled the trigger. The person turned to me and stepped into the light, but just as I was to identify who it was, I woke up a panting, sweaty mess.

That was the most intense dream I had ever had, and the feeling of dread and trepidation was really making me over think things. I didn't want to ignore it because it seemed so freaking real and the fact that ever since that stupid contract was apart of my life, things have turned to shit.

Speaking of the contract...

I sigh and get up out of bed with my mind racing a mile a minute thinking about it. Today was Saturday a.k.a decision day, and I am more than feeling the effects of this whole thing. I still haven't made a decision and that was taking an obvious toll on me. The idea of running away once again popped into my head but I couldn't easily dismiss the idea like I had so many times before. It was tempting as hell to just leave this whole thing behind and start over fresh, but logic always kicked in at the right time...like now. Too many factors were standing in the way of me accomplishing that.

Dimitri being the main one. Something tells me that I wouldn't make it very far, and if I even attempted to do that, then I'd most definitely regret it. I shake my head at myself not wanting to think about it anymore and headed to the bathroom for a much needed shower.

~~><~~

I make my way downstairs for breakfast feeling somewhat refreshed. I look out the window seeing that my mother's red Mercedes car was gone, letting me know that she wasn't here, to which, I'm grateful. I didn't have it in me to put up with her obsession of wanting to know what took place between Dimitri and I the day he came. She's still hang up about it and I could tell that she knew that I was hiding something she was so determine to find out.

I make a bowl of cereal, eat, wash my dish then head off to the living room. I looked at the time on my phone and see that it's a quarter past 11am and I groan in boredom. If I was still friends with Ciana, we would be at the mall right now, browsing through stuff like we were going to buy it, then when a sales representative comes over, we'd run out laughing our asses off at their faces when they saw the stunt we pulled.

I'll admit that I miss her a little. That was a dear friend of mine who I shared my pain and some secrets with, but it wasn't enough for me to feel like I had to amend things with her. She stays to herself now a days and the whole uproar of her half, naked body kind of died down at school. Well, mostly for us girls. The boys on the other hand are still milking it for everything it got and I didn't feel sorry one bit. Ever since our exchanged of words, she haven't bothered to talk to me anymore, to which, I'm glad.
