I’m dreaming. A sweet, nice dream for a change. There were no headless creatures chasing me or severed head rolling at my feet.
I heard someone call to me, the voice a sweet melody that was so familiar it made me nostalgic. There was an urge to follow the voice but I also couldn’t risk waking up from this dream of mine. I wanted to remain here, in this wonderland where I was happy.
The voice soon turned panicked, like there was something wrong but I ignored it. It wasn’t until my body started shaking that I slipped away from my dream.
My eyes opening only to be insulted by the sun rays entering through the window. Don was still calling my name when I came to. I glared at him and just couldn’t help it when I stuck my tongue out at him.
There was a look of concern on his face but that wasn’t problem. I wa
This time I woke up to someone screaming and…was someone jumping on my bed? It was hard to peel my eyes open but I did anyway, the light in the room almost rendering me blind. It wasn’t until someone giggled and collapsed by my side that I realized I had audience. It was Jenny, she was laughing as I turned to her. she squealed when I caught her between my arms as she tried to jump on the bed again. “Car!” she whined, her tiny hands hitting my own in a bid to escape “I was only trying to wake you” she said amidst laughter. “By jumping on the bed?” I asked her, she widened her eyes when my fingers found their way to her sides. “Not the tickle monster!” she screamed, her legs flailing in the air as she tried to run away from me “I promise I won&rsquo
For the first time the sun coming in through my window wakes me up. It’s the first time that I have slept in. It’s also the second time I’m having a very beautiful dream with Carrie in it. The first being when I was sick, but now that I knew Carrie was alive and here with me, it made the dream a million times better. The moment my lips had kissed hers yesterday, I had been to heaven and back. I had imagined kissing her so many times in the past couple of days that when I finally did, it beat my imagination hands down. Her lips were so soft and tasted just like cherries. The feel of her body on mine was enough to set any man ablaze. And yes I had burned for her. And I would gladly do it again. I was surprised that she let me kiss her. Carrie that never would have been a few feet away from me. It made me wonder if she felt the same wa
I walk into my office the next day and just like I had expected, her desk was empty. It would actually be a surprise if she came in to work. I loosen my tie and fall into my chair. A part of me had actually wished she came to work. I should have come up with a lie the moment that she asked me how I knew her house. Anything at all that wasn’t saying nothing. That made matters worse. I didn’t have to say anything, she already knew. At that moment I just wanted to disappear. I was about to get up when my door burst open and an angry Drew entered. He marched straight to where I was and stood in front of me. “Where the hell have you been?” he asked, I could feel the anger pulsing through his veins. “I’m sure Daisy told you where I was” I told him calmy. I was already exhausted and o
I tried to open my eyes but even that proved difficult. My head was aching like someone had thrown bricks on it. I counted to ten before slowly opening my eyes this time. At first all I saw was red before my eyes opened fully to reveal the strange room.The driver, I suddenly remembered. That was not my driver, someone must’ve harmed him or tipped him off to get to me. I chose the first. There was no way that he would betray me.I tried to get up only to realize that my hands were tied to the back of the seat and so were my legs. Trying to get up again, I fell back into the chair. I tried to untie it but the big rope would not budge. Okay, this was slowly becoming a sticky situation.It was then that I remember that Carrie had been with me in the car. I quickly looked around for her but she wasn’t in the room. Where did they take her to?I started to panic. There were so many things that they could do to harm her, I prayed whoeve
“Stop!” I yelled with everything that I had “Hit me instead just leave the poor boy alone” I said, a sob threatening to tear through my throat at the pain that Carrie had to be going through. He ignored me and was about to hit her again.“I’ll kiss your feet! I’ll do anything you want, just let him be” I cried. His attention finally returned to me.He walked slowly before standing in front of me and I sighed in relief that Carrie was no longer their target for the moment.He glared at me for some time but said nothing, then he grabbed my hair “I really loved the kissing part but seeing you bleed and beg for mercy should make my day” he spat in my face and pushed my head back.He motioned to his friend “Tie him up! He’s so bent on saving others, let’s see if he can save himself”.There was hesitation “Boss said we shouldn’t kill him yet&rdqu
It was hard to not fall deeper in love with Don Meyer after all that he just revealed to me. I tried to process everything at that the same time that it made my head hurt.Never would I have known that Don was in love with me since we were kids. He was always bullying or finding other ways to hurt him, I thought that he actually hated me.Knowing that was not the case made me feel…relieved and happy. That someone had loved me even when I had not been at my best, with all the extra weight that my body found hard to carry. Or all the times I ate like a pig at the table, like mother would say.He saw all that, me in my worst times and he still loved me? I held him tighter to me. I felt stupid now for ever loving Drew even when he didn’t love me back, I should’ve paid more attention to Don. Who knows? It might have turned really good for us and we wouldn’t be stuck here.I touched my neck, feeling the scar that was there
It felt like a truck ran over me multiple times as everywhere ached. My throat felt dry and it burnt. I tried to get my body to move, I had to save Carrie from them, I sent a prayer to God that something didn’t already happen to her.I finally opened my eyes after much attempt only to see that I wasn’t in the unknown room anymore. When I looked around, I slowly recognized my surroundings. It was Dr. Shelby’s office, but how did I get here?It wasn’t until I felt someone by my side that I turned. I saw Carrie’s short hair resting on the bed as she held my left hand. She must’ve found a way to get us out of there when I failed her.I relaxed once I realized that she was safe and away from those bad people. I reached over to my side, avoiding my wound and caressed her head.I could not believe that I had bared my heart to her and told her about loving her even as kids. I had vowed to keep it to myself for the
If there was something after embarrassed, that is what I was.I was about to punch him in the arm when the door the door opened and Carrie walked in with two cups of coffee. She smiled brightly when she saw us.“Here you go” she said, handing me a cup as she kissed my cheek. I didn’t want Dr. Shelby to see but I wasn’t about to complain about a kiss from Carrie.Dr. Shelby wiggled his brows at me and stopped when Carrie turned to him.“How is he now?” she asked, gesturing her head toward me.“Everything but his head seems to be working just fine” Dr. Shelby answered, it wasn’t until he saw the worried look on Carrie’s face that he started laughing “I’m just kidding” he said, unable to control his laughter “Damn! You should’ve seen your face”.Carrie punched his shoulder making him scream.“What did you do that for?&rdquo
