Nothing to worry about
Chapter 10
I turned to see her . ''Mom!Dad!Help!'' . I ccouldn't move since my legs were severely hurt . ''They aren't going to hear you'' she said , grinning cruelly .''No one will'' she whispered , getting closer . ''Please ....... Noo !!'' I yelled as she pushed me from the bed and i landed on the floor . My legs hurt badly . She kicked my back . '' You shouldn't have escaped '' she said . She threw my lamp on my head .
Suddenly , i couldn't breathe . I felt suffocated . I felt like how you would feel after running a marathon , only 50 times worse . My mind felt really dizzy . Blood flowed through my legs and through my back , my hands , my head , my neck ..... everywhere .
And then , I blacked out .
*The next day*
''Ivy ! Come down !'' my mom shouted ''Breakfast is ready'' Breakfast ? What ? I woke up . No one was there . No girl who wanted to kill me . And I wasn't dead . It was all just a dream . A nightmare , actually . I got ready and headed down . ''Good morning !'' I said . ''Good morning Ivy !How are you feeling ?''. I smiled . ''I'm okay . Nothing to worry about''.
After breakfast , I went to Annie's house . My parents didn't want me to , but I insisted . I knocked on the door . '' Ivy ! Come in !'' . Annie's house was beautiful . ''Your house looks awesome'' I said . ''Thanks . Are you okay ?'' she asked . ''I'm completely okay now .'' I replied .
We chatted for a few minutes , then i left . As much as i wanted to stay , i knew should go home or else my parents would be worried .I was happy now . I didn't know why . Maybe because everything was alright . Maybe because my nightmare didn't come true .But I didn't feel truly happy . Like , when you get something you feel like you don't deserve . So , do I feel like I should've died ? No . This was different . I didn't know why , but I felt like wouldn't be happy for too long .
