Sawyer began to stir from a good night’s sleep, which is rare due to her stress accumulated from her job. She instinctively reached to other side of the bed expecting to feel the warmth of human flesh. Opening her eyes only to confirm the vacant spot she sighed. She flipped to the other side to look at the alarm clock the resided on her nightstand, 7:52 it read, contemplating rather to try to go back to sleep or to get up. Choosing the latter, she sat up rolling her neck, stretching her stiff limbs and began to make her way to the bathroom. Her eyes meet the mirror, studying her reflection. She had an oval shaped face, her pale skin flawless, nose was small slightly sloped upward, long lashes framing her jade eyes. Turning on the sink …show more content…
She poured a good amount into his food bowl and refilled the water bowl with fresh water. She rubbed to the top of his head and went on the rest of her morning, making herself breakfast and catching the morning news on tv. She was tightening the strings on her guitar when she heard her phone ring. She glanced at the caller id and saw it was Glenda, her manager. She answered with caution, Glenda was great at her job but could sometimes come off as little too self-motivated. “Hey Glenda, what’s up?” “Well um,” She was beginning to feel a sense of uncertainty from Glenda, which was suspicious. If anyone one knew Glenda they would say she was the exact opposite. “What is it? Is something going wrong? Are you o-” “Look, I got something to tell you kiddo,” she paused. “I just don’t want you to hate me.” Her forehead began to scrunch up, “Whatever it is-” she had begun to say. “I fucked up!” she sobbed through the phone. “Look, just breathe and tell me what happened,” she heard Glenda taking deep breathes and began to speak again, “Just tell me what happened, whatever it is it can’t be that bad.” “You remember when you performed two weeks ago at the Bowery Ballroom?” “Yes.” She said hesitantly. “I had received a phone call,” she paused, “From Charming.” Her mind began to go run a hundred miles per hour. What’s in Charming? She thought to herself and then she began to remember. My dad was
The dull ache in his lower back woke Booker from a restless sleep and gingerly rolling over in bed, he gazed down at the strip of light flickering beneath his bedroom door. Muffled voices floated through the closed door and glancing at the clock on his nightstand, he wondered why Tom was watching TV at such an ungodly hour. A pang of guilt colored his face and swinging his legs over the side of the bed, he sat up with a groan. Pain flared in his back, but he ignored it and struggling to his feet, he shuffled across the room and opened the door.
“Excuse me, sweetheart, are you lost?” She asked. She could see her breath fog out in front of her.
“Why would you trust her knowing what she did to Travin who still has not fully recovered?” She appeared quite annoyed by her addition to their party.
“Ouch!— you’re a mean one, why do I inspired you so much contempt? Have I disrespect you?” He asked as he kept his cold stare.
Tom Wilkes lurched forward from his usual nightmare with sweat dripping from his face. He didn’t notice his hands were shaking more violently than normal as he reached for his glasses. This particular routine was nothing new, but this was the fourth night without a break from the violent awakening. The alarm clock read 4:40 A.M. Tom was surprised it wasn’t earlier, he let out a deep sigh and began his journey to the living room. The apartment was dainty but the lack of things furnishing it skewed the perception. The living room only contained a small futon and a 13” JVC Television, the television was unplugged and hadn’t been on for months. The small kitchen table was littered with empty royal crown and spring water bottles. Tom walked to the
“Hey stop it! That is so mean. What did she ever do to you?” she questioned, although she practically screamed at them.
“I’m not supposed to be here.” She said angrily “But I know why I’m here. You’re lucky you don’t know the truth.”
“Wake up!” A familiar voice pierced the silent room as I jumped out of my bed, cold sweat running down my forehead. I looked towards my wooden bedroom door, which was being pounded by someone on the other side. It seemed like someone was trying to open it. In alarm, I got up and quickly made my way towards the door, immediately remembering that I had locked it last night. What a smart move, Juliet. I internally slapped myself as my eyes skimmed the room and landed on the keys on my nightstand.
“No, no - it’s not about that,” she hesitated for a moment and said, “We can’t be friends anymore.”
"I SAID SHUT UP! I know now, why you were acting so weird when you read those texts...I...DON'T WANNA BE FRIENDS WITH YOU...you humans are the reason...why they're not here anymore..." Tears rushed down their cheeks, drenching the ground. Monster kid's voice trembled. "I...hate you."
"None of your damn business, okay!?" He snapped, glaring at her. "Leave me the hell alone."
Tom sat in the bath, his knees drawn up to his chin, his arms hugging his bent legs. Cold water cascaded over his body, his slight frame shaking violently from the chill. But despite his body’s suffering, his eyes were vacant, his mind no longer in the present. Recycled memories played through his head, the snapshot visions taking him to a time where the parents he adored still protected him. He was once again back in his happy place, and he wanted to stay there forever, free from the harsh existence of the real world, where the pain of his insurmountable loss became nothing more than a bad dream he could and would, eventually wake up
“What? No. That can’t be right. We look nothing alike. I thought I was an only child” Sherri pushed the thought away.
“Don’t bother with that.” She flicked a lock of black, wavy hair out of that pretty face of hers, but her ice-blue eyes narrowed. He girded his loins for an onslaught of chastisement that he had coming. “I heard about your problem.”
Gannon wrestles in her sleep, trying to find a comfortable position. Her once soft and irresistible blankets had now felt like she was sleeping between two human sized sheets of sandpaper. She thrashed around once more and decides she's going to wake herself up. She sat up against her headboard and rubbed her eyes, wiping away the rest of her sleepiness. A gray light had creeped in through the windows, giving everything around Gannon a gloomy tint. The room felt cold as it lacked the usual morning sunlight. After Gannon regained consciousness,she pulled on an old,scratchy red sweatshirt and dragged herself to the kitchen to make her daily cup of coffee.
