Fake it till you make it - Lucathy

60 - Hallucinations

  "So... Going to tell me what was going on..?" Miss Aurora asked me.

  It has been 4 days since Lucas asked me out.

  "What do you mean?" I asked playing dumb.

  "You and Luke." Miss Aurora said.

  "Me and lucas...? What?" I asked tilting my head.

  "Are you guys dating?" Miss Aurora asked.

  "No. Have you seen his ego? I'm sorry but it's so high." I said.

  Pretty sure Lucas will be mad if he heard that.

  "I don't know if your acting or your being genuine." Miss Aurora sighed giving up.

  "First of all, if I was acting you can't blame me since I'm an actor. Second of all, I don't think anyone can tell if I'm lying or not." I said.

  Me and miss Aurora were in the kitchen chopping up things for breakfast.

  "I think Luke can." Miss Aurora says.

  I just sadly smiled.

  Lucas is able to tell the difference from me and second voice...

  Doesn't mean he can tell when I am lying in my own voice.

  "Maybe." That was my answer.

  My phone buzzed.

  "Hello? This is athanasia speaking." I said into the phone.

  I hated how I recognized the voice....

  "Today is your last day."

  Shit....

  I forgot..

  The air dried in my throat.

  "I hope your sending it today, or else your going to start living in the basement."

  I visibly flinched.

  Shit...

  I didn't answer.

  I couldn't answer.

  I felt like someone had knocked the air out of me.

  My brain failed to function as the image of the basement played in my head.

  All I could hear was the sounds of the car jam breaking.

  The sound of the car tire and the road coming in contact.

  The high pitched sound.

  At the same time the image of Mama in the hospital overlapped with the image of the basement.

  The sound of the heart monitor going in a straight line.

  The sound of her cries.

  Her face before the car came into contact with her.

  I can't think...

  There were so many sounds...

  So many images...

  Videos...

  I don't even know what anymore!

  I just wanted everything to stop..

  Too much was going on at one time...

  "My child?" Miss Aurora called snapping me out of it.

  '"Yes father, I'll send it to you today."'

  "Yes father, I'll send it to you today." I said in a whisper.
