Dreaming, just keep dreaming.

Chapter 6 (With a little of 5)

I took Angela home, she was guiding me, everything was so good, we put on the radio and she was singing some songs that she knew, I was a little happy, the songs I didn't know were dancing to them, she put on her crown, I wanted to tell her that she looked pretty with her crown, but I couldn't.-... she would have said it with ease.- I thought between me. We got home, put down their suitcase and went down to say hello to their parents, but they didn't come out, apparently they were asleep, it was a little late.

-Thank you for coming to leave me, you can go home alone right?

-Yes, I've gotten used to it, don't worry about me, go to sleep, you must be tired already, tomorrow I'll come and see you if I can to your job.

-I'll wait for you Tyler boy, you're going to say good-bye?-She raised her arms and I approached to hug her.

-Good night Ty, you'll be watching your cell phone, I'll write to you.

-Yes, now I will see it, good night Angela.

I was so tired and excited, Angela is such a great person, so friendly and it made you feel comfortable, I think that even with my friends I can not have a friendship like this, it will be maybe because with her it has touched me to tell her things that my friends do not know..., whatever it is I am happy with my new friend...

I got home, the road got boring without having someone to sing or dance in the car... it was cold, too much wind was coming in through the windshield.

I went up to the apartment, Dad was asleep in his room, I went to mine, he was tired and depressed by what happened... I decided to go to bed, I used my cell phone, I started to get sleepy, I was waiting for Angela to write to me, but she didn't, I didn't have much encouragement, she slept with the TV on, but I wasn't in the mood, I wanted to be alone myself, and my head... This time I wanted to dream of something nice...

-Good night, Ty...-I said to myself.-Ah...-I was walking aimlessly through the mall, it was snowing too hard and I decided to stay there until the snow passes... there were no people in the mall, I saw the same person in pink shirt and white stripes pass in front of me several times, another person in black and barefoot was teaching some girls to dance, a man with a long beard was yelling at another a little skinnier than him, Some kids were running down the escalators... I decided to stop by the restaurant where Skylar was playing and see if he was there.

-It is closed...-For a few meters I did not hear any music, it was too early to have closed the restaurant, there were some warehouses that had nothing or nobody inside, nor the lights on, some small premises were covered with black fabrics, I kept seeing the same people, there was no one, it just seemed like there were fifteen people all over the mall.

-Angela.

I wanted to go see her at work, I was on my way and when I looked through the roof of the mall I realized that it was already dark, I tried to see what time it was on my cell phone, it turned on, but It had no time, I could use it without problems but the time was not there... I was heading to the supermarket, the people who were missing, only the man they were yelling at a moment ago was left.

-...-The lord had his eyes blank and his arms seemed lost, they were hanging from his body as if they were just leaves from a tree in autumn. It started to blow a lot of wind, now it was not so quiet, the wind sounded in every corner of the mall.

-A a a h h h...-Now the lord had his mouth open, his sigh was so slow and mild, he had nothing but darkness inside, neither his teeth or gums were seen. After a while the lights started going off slowly, I kept getting closer to the supermarket, I was not afraid, but if I felt that someone was behind me, it was strange, I kept walking and I saw a lemon with nails in it... What is this? -I said. I kept hurrying, the supermarket was the only store that was open, but inside was empty everything, I arrived after a while and the light went out, I tried to illuminate with my cell phone a little to see what I could find there between so much loneliness and darkness.

-Tyler... no... you shouldn't ... be... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

It was a scream full of fear, I heard how the throat was slowly breaking where the scream came from, the scream sounded all over the mall, it was the voice of Mrs. Larson, I didn’t see her anywhere, that scream made my skin peel little by little, I felt cold in my arms and chest, I had a little tremor all over my body.

The wind began to blow more, now I heard small screams of people behind me, I came back to see, but there was no one, when I turned around... There was Mrs. Larson, there was barely her head, it was huge, she had no eyes, she had anacondas in her hair that looked up to the sky, but they had their heads pointed to the ground and her face was totally wrinkled.

I saw nothing but terror in Mrs. Larson’s expression, some time later I saw how she began to open her mouth as if she were trying to say something, but she just started to turn in circles, dragging her broken neck and anacondas heads along the floor, stopped and her mouth lit up green, something was coming from inside her, several pale people with long mouths and falls started screaming in my ear, I couldn’t open my mouth to scream, I felt so much fear...

-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

After a while I was able to scream along with the others, the moment I started screaming I saw blood coming out of Mrs. Larson’s mouth.

-Ah... ah... -I woke up and quickly got out of bed, I felt my mouth full of blood, I felt like I was drowning and I couldn’t swallow my own saliva, I went to the bathroom and when I got there I looked normal, I hadn’t sweated, everything was in order, I heard Dad’s snoring in the background, it was a miracle that he was home, I washed my face and drank water, after a while of being in the bathroom I calmed down, I returned to my bed, I checked my cell phone, it was one in the morning, I had barely slept a couple of hours...

-I’m cold...-I hugged myself and I picked up my legs.-...mom... why did you have to leave... you know how much I miss you? Dad’s not capable of being an adult... you know mom... you know what it’s like to have to put up with these things? There are worse things that people go through... but... with your departure I left the world... I am not able to be depressed... repress all the bad and I am afraid that people will judge me for that... if dad never stopped being a teenager, then I should do it... and... you’re gonna be proud of me, you’re gonna be glad to see how I keep it all... I’ll do it for you... but please... hold me and give me warmth as you knew how to do... I’m afraid of tomorrow, I don’t know what will happen to me, Dad or even Angela... I’m afraid Mom... very afraid...-I felt my throat stiff, and barely a small tear came out of my eye.

While I was talking in my head with mom, I felt sleep.
