Taming the Devil (EDITED AND REVISED)

Chapter-35

"Seriously scarlett what's going on?!" He asked.

"It's nothing. My life is just a big emotional roller coaster i guess." I cracked up again and my body heaved with violent sobs.

"Hey. If it bothers you that much no need to tell me right now. You must sleep you have a fever. Come." He gave me side hug and got up and held his hand out for me.

I got up and immediately lost my balance. Everything blackened out for a moment.

"Woah, easy there. Come on." He carefully took me to my bedroom and made me lay down and pulled covers on top of me. I shivered under the covers.

"I am gonna call anna over here because she can take better care of you than me." He said sheepishly with a small smile and went out to call ana.

After few minutes he returned. "She will be here in half hour. I am gonna wait till she gets here."

I nodded and smiled at him.

Ana showed up after sometime and alex left.

"How do you feel now?" She asked and checked my forehead for fever.

"Not good but better than before." I gave her a small smile and closed my eyes.

"Hmmm okay. Imma make you some chicken soup. Eat soup along with pills to help reduce your fever. We don't want your panic attacks and migraine to return now do we?!"

I shook my head and closed my eyes again.

Ana returned with delicious smelling soup with pills and water. I ate and took pills and rested on my pillows. Ana took a seat on other side of my bed and sighed.

"What??" I exclaimed.

"Nothing. I don't know what happened but something happened worse enough to trigger your nightmares along with fever. So when you feel good enough you have to tell me." She sighed loudly.

I groaned." Okay fine. For now i wanna sleep and forget everything else." I said rubbing my temple.

What was in going to say?!?!? That my dream boy came back waltzing in my life and created havoc?! That matters are even more complicated than before?!? Why do we humans desire things that hurt us the most?! Why cannot i love Jason?!?? Aarrghhhhh!!!! Damn you Micheal.

She smiled. "Okay. I am gonna go. Call me if you need anything." She hopped off bed.

I nodded and closed my eyes and let sleep consume me completely.

I watched the orange tree in our backyard from my room. It always gave me creeps because it stood there dried from roots. Lifeless. Just like me. Our backyard was entirely creepy as no one ever paid attention to it. Dead leaves scattered everywhere on the dead grass. Long grown bushes lined our wall. Completely void of any life. Chilly breeze blew outside making me shiver.

I suddenly heard a loud crash from downstairs. A chill ran down my spine. Shit was about to go down. I could feel it. Another crashing sound followed.

I tiptoed to door and locked it. Heavy footsteps became louder. Someone was coming to my room. Dread filled me. I ran to bathroom and locked my door.

The person banged on my door loudly. Even my bathroom door rattled from all the banging. I shook in fear. Tears pooled in my eyes. My body shook violently.

I heard the door opening and smacking to wall with a loud thud.

After few moments the bathroom door began shaking. I backed away until i hit the wall.
