SURVIVOR

'It’s because of you, I'm stuck in a loveless marriage. It's because of you, I have lost my job. It's because of you, I have lost myself. I hate you. Do you understand, Anna, I HATE YOU. I wish you would never be born. I wish you would die, just DIE.' My legs dragged me away from her, through the living room, towards the main door. I ran from home, far from her to take breath freely, to fulfil her wish at our rooftop. My tiny six year legs dragged me towards the edge. 'If I jump from here, I'll die and mom will be happy. she will be free from this burden - ME.' I thought to myself. Before I could jump, a pair of hands embraced me into a tight hug amd I knew it’s WILL. As soon as i could say something to him, our world was crumbling apart, like the earth was swallowing me and I was falling down and down into a pithole where none could hear my screams, my sobs, my desperate need to breath. I woke up with my heart beating hard against my rib cage, sweat covering my body and erratic breathing. 'Breath in, breath out.' I was enchanting in my mind. I noticed Sean peeping at the edge of the bed. 'You okay princess?' 'Yeah' I tried to give him a reassuring smile. But it was not enough cause the worrywart was by my side within a second, holding me in his arms, rocking me back and forth and whispering soothing words. After comforting enough he opened his mouth. 'Wanna talk about it?’ referring to my nightmare. 'It's not that bad. Just mom thing. She was telling some hateful words...' Before I could finished Sean told 'You know, I got you?’ and i nodded. We both lost our family in different ways but we had each other. 'You got me but you can't sleep in my room Seaney. And what are you doing in my floor?' 'old habits die hard princess and I promise after you fall asleep I will sleep in my room.' So my head dipped into the pillow n I closed my eyes. 'Sleep tight princess' I heard before I fall into a dreamless sleep.
