I can't breathe.
It feels like someone is sitting on my chest, but there's no pain. I'm short of breath, and I feel scared. Why is this happening to me.. I can't lose my voice, not over this!
I sit up in bed, nearly hitting my head on the beam above me. I look at my bedside clock, it reads 7:26 AM. Great, I wake up 26 minutes too late. I was supposed to go and meet someone in 34 minutes, but I guess I'll have to cancel.
I get out of bed and pick up my phone, and notice I have 13 unread texts from mum, dad and my aunt Fey. What could they have possibly wanted, I wonder as I open the messages.
Luke, u have to get up for that meeting soon. You asked me to wake u so I did.
That was from mum, and then she sent my a bunch of emojis, all in separate bubbles.
Make sure to bring the trash out when u leave.
From dad.
I love you, kiddo.
Aunt Fey never ceases to impress.
I send a message to the person I'm meeting, telling him I won't be able to make it today, because of a family emergency. What a lie that was. I set the phone down and head for the shower, and I know I can take my time today.
I lather up my hair with shampoo and wash it out, then tilt my head up and put my face under the hot water. I think about that crazy dream I had, what could it have been? All I felt was pressure on my chest, keeping me from breathing. It was super odd. I get out of the shower a few minutes later and dry off, then get dressed. I had nothing else planned today, so I decide to just go for a walk. Take my phone, say bye to mum as I leave, and pull the trash can to the curb with me.
I walk to the local cafe, and get a coffee and sit at a table. As I drink my coffee I look around the room, observing people and things that made up the decor of the space. It really was quite pleasing to the eye.
I close my eyes and put in my earbuds, listening to a song that I don't know the name of, and I'm too lazy to check. I think it was a Blink-182 song, probably The Girl At The Rock Show. Always a good song. I tap my foot along to the song, and ignore the world around me. Tomorrow I would meet up with that person again, but today I would relax.
But I can't breathe.
// Oooh! Tricky ending to this short chapter.. Who do you think Luke will meet up with? I hope everyone likes the first chapter, I have a good idea for this story, and the song Amnesia is supposed to be based on this story. Or that is what I want to happen, anyway. I'll update soon!
