NIGHTMARES
1318 Words
Beatrice walked back to her room and locked the door.
She took a bottle of water from her fridge and her medicines from her drawer.
She placed the medicines in her mouth before gulping it down with the water.
She exhaled deeply and returned the medicines back to the drawer and the bottle water back to the fridge.
She packed her messy hair in a neat bun.
She kept her phone and some dollar bills alongside her credit card in her purse before leaving her room.
" I'm going to visit my therapist and I already took my medicines." Beatrice said to her parents who were engrossed in watching a family program in the sitting room.
" If you like visit and have s*x with your boyfriend and come home pretending another r**e incident." Her mother lashed out angrily, with her burning gaze on her.
" At least, make sure your legs are closed for today." Her father added disdainfully.
" You can go." He added and scoffed.
Beatrice walked out of the house and smiled lightly as the cool breeze swept through her face.
She inhaled the sweet smell from the surrounding with her eyes closed.
She opened her eyes and wiped the tear that had unconsciously rolled down her cheek.
She walked to her car and got in.
" When was my car returned?" She thought as she drove out of the compound.
She shrugged and continued driving.
Jasper had paid some guys to return her car without anybody's notice.

" Can I have that bracelet?" Beatrice asked the salesgirl of the jewelry shop as she gestured her hand to a silver bracelet.
She was back from seeing her therapist and she decided to drop by at a jewelry shop.
" Yeah. Sure ma." The salesgirl replied with a radiant smile.
She brought out the bracelet and took it to Beatrice.
She wore it around the cut she had on her wrist and it suited her perfectly and covered the cut which looked like it wouldn't leave.
She had cuts like scars that the boys inflicted on her during the r**e incident.
It was one of the painful physical scars that reminded her of the awful moment with the three beasts.
Anytime she sees it, it reminded her so much of the pain they inflicted on her.
" I'll take it." She said to the salesgirl.
" Alright ma'am." The girl replied with a smile.
After paying for the bracelet, she got back into her car.
" This bracelet would never leave my wrist. At least, it covers my physical scars." She muttered to herself and exhaled deeply.
She ignited her car engine and drove off.

Beatrice got home and gave a stern warning to her parents not to look for her in her room.
According to her, she wanted to be alone.
She got to her room and locked her door with her key.
She climbed onto her bed and wept bitterly till she fell asleep.
The next day, Ariana knocked on Beatrice's door to come have breakfast but she didn't even utter a word.
Ariana knocked countless times but she still didn't bulge.
Her mother also came you and knocked on her door, threatened her, but still, Beatrice didn't open the door.
For two days, Beatrice didn't leave her room and her parents were scared and they hoped she hadn't committed suicide.
For the two days Beatrice didn't leave her room, she was always crying and she was so depressed.
She even felt like commiting suicide but she thought against it.
She continued to read her therapist book and it wasn't helping her real good.
She just wanted the love and care of a parents to her.
She couldn't even face her parents because they would only hurt abd ridicule her the more.
The best option to her was to stay isolated from them.
Even as her parents, they didn't show any sign of wanting to help her or feel hurt and even help her pick up the broken pieces of her shattered life.
But instead, they added to her depression.
..........
She had gone so pale and looked skinny.
She hadn't eaten any food or left her room for the past two days.
..................
As she read her therapist book, she suddenly felt the urge to throw up.
She ran to the toilet and threw up.
She held her chest as she breathed in tiredly.
As she was about leaving the toilet, a wave of nausea arose and she found herself throwing up again.
She looked so pale and her eyes were bulgy...
She stood up and washed her mouth in the sink.
She felt dizzy and lightheaded.
" What's wrong with me? I'm I really gonna fall sick?" She asked no one in particular.
She had become so weak but she managed to drag herself to her bed.
Suddenly, her phone beeped.
It was a message..
She clicked opened the message and her breathed heached.
Her breathing became rapid and tensed as she gasped for air.
She held her chest and tried to breathe properly..
She was almost having a panic attack.
* Hey bestie, hope you had fun the other day?* The message read from Jasper.

Beatrice became terribly scared and she was shaking in fright.
Her face had gone white with paleness while her lips trembled as tears poured out from her eyes.
After she had calmed herself down, she took her phone and with shaking hands, she typed back.
* You bastard! You have no idea what you've done to me.
The pain, the grief and the psychological trauma you've made me feel.
You left scars in my heart and in my body...
Unforgettable scars.......
I hate you, I hate myself more for falling in love with you and having you as my best friend.
I regretted why we were friends....
I regretted not ever listening to my parents advice and I even hate myself more for going over to your house.
You're a bastard and your kind should and deserve to rot in the deepest part of hell!!
Don't you ever call or text me ever again.
I cut whatsover thing or friendship we had in the past.
Rot in hell Jasper!!* She typed back with so much anger and bitterness in her heart.
She blocked his number and kept her phone back on the bed.
She laid on her bed and pulled the duvet over her head and wept till she fell asleep.

" Jasper please! Please don't do this to me!
I'm begging you!
Arghhhhh! It's hurt! Please stop! You're hurting me!" Beatrice cried out perspiring profusely.
She woke up with a jerk and used the back of her hand to wipe sweaty face and her tears.
She soothed her chest as she tried to breathe in properly.
She stood up from her bed and walked to her fridge.
She opened it and brought out a bottle water and uncapped it.
She chung down the water and breathed in, feeling relieved and better.
She had, had a nightmare about Jasper trying to forcefully have his way with her.
It scared the s**t outta her and she couldn't bring herself to fall asleep.
She peeled off her clothes and got into the bathroom and under the shower.
She felt relieved as the cool water came in contact with her nude self.
As soon as she closed her eyes to sleep, she would jerk up awake because she kept on seeing Jasper lustful smirk on her.
She gave up trying to sleep and finally took her depression book and started reading.
Soon enough, she fell asleep.
Throughout the night, she constantly screamed, cried and fought with her bed.
She begged Jasper to stop hurting her.....
She was restless through out the night and she didn't have a goodnight sleep.
Her dreams were filled with nightmares.
Nightmares of Jasper trying to r**e her.
She literally cried and tossed on her bed all through the night.
