SOLITUDE

Chapter two

CHAPTER TWO

I jolted up from my bed, I sat down sweating profusely, I was frightened, everywhere was silent, my heart was beating fast. I heard loud noise, it was piercing my eardrum, I looked around my room afraid and realised the screeching noise was coming from my window which was open.

I walked lazily towards the window to close it, my mind still drifting back to the nightmare I had and I heard another loud noise I shrieked and screamed at the top of my voice as I saw someone running towards me, I felt as if my lung is going to breakdown, I quickly hid behind the cotton, I noticed the noise I heard was of the door being opened, the intruder flick on the light and I stood staring at Amalia.

Amalia why didn't you knock, you scared me; I said angrily massaging my throat.

Seriously Meghan I'm your roommate and the last time I checked we both share this room; she retorted surprised with the way I'm reacting.

I'm sorry for shouting at you Amalia, I had a horrible nightmare before you came in;

oooh Meghan I'm sorry she said crouching beside me ,

I rested my head on her shoulder, so miss what were you so eager to tell me that couldn't wait and you almost broke the door,

Meghan I'm so happy, she stood up and forced me on my leg and twirl around till I could not stand upright.

Ook that's okay Amelia , what's the news,

Meghan you know this our last night in high school and we are going to college in few months, so there is a get together party and we have to go... I watched Amelia rant on as I think within myself,

I feel excited that I'm going home tomorrow but at the same time I feel disturbed. I always try my best to shield people away from seeing the real wounded me and live a facade life all through high school, my friends think I'm the girl with the perfect family and blissful life but inside I'm a mess.

It's been long I've heard my mom's voice, I let out a sad sigh...

Meghan Meghan can you hear me,

ummm Amelia were you talking to me,

Yes I was and what were you thinking about, nothing, I shook my head, okay then let's get ready for the party.

Amelia drags me down to the party and I thought to myself why not let go of all my fears and worries and just party all night long, also mentally preparing myself to face my demons again.
