Chapter17:

Screaming For Help

Alli's Prospective

My eyes shot open in the mist of a scream. These nightmares have been accruing 

every night and just won't seek to go away. The first night was the night my 

grandma passed. Keaton tried to calm me down and make everything better,which he 

did. I looked  around the familiar white room that I had been at for two days. 

My eyes set on the huge tv that was on but the volume was turned low. Then my 

eyes set on the big glass window where the sun was just rising. I looked over to 

the clock that read 5:46 a.m and turned over to find Keaton sleeping with his 

head dug into his pillow. We had grown fond of falling asleep together,and now 

it was just a thing we did. Sleeping together. Maybe it was just the comfort of 

him being there,or something else. But I couldn't fall asleep without him being 

there. "Keaton" I whispered pushing him slightly.Nothing. "Keaton" I whispered 

again pushing him Alittle harder to where he was now shifting. "Mmmm what?" He 

asked in his groggy morning voice with his eyes still glued tight. "I-I can't 

sleep" I stuttered now embarrassed that I ha woken him up for this stupid 

reason. "Alli,it's like 6 in the morning." Keaton said sighing. "I'm sorry" I 

said barely a whisper slowly getting out of the bed. Walking over to my bad I 

checked my phone and saw there was no messages so I threw it in the bag. I 

grabbed all of my stuff and walked out the back door making my way home. Home,I 

haven't been home in two days. Right after my grandmother died Keaton had 

brought me to the xfactor house. It felt good to finally get out of there 

though. I walked up to the front door pushing it open. All of the memories came 

flooding back. 

Iran to my room and just broke down into tears. Why does this have to happen to 

me? Why can't everything just go good for me? After a bout an hour of sobbing I 

decided that I needed to sleep. I walked into the bathroom opening the top 

cabinet and taking out the bottle of pills. This would help the pane go away. I 

popped seven in my mouth drinking them down quickly and making my way to my bed 

and quickly passing out.
