Chapter Nineteen

~Kaylee

“I’m a mess.” I muttered as I stood in front of mirror.

Sighing I made my way downstairs to get some water as I felt the headache getting worse. I was tired as hell but I was determined to stay awake. If I didn’t fall asleep, then I wouldn’t have to deal with my nightmares. Two days and hardly any sleep, it was starting to take a toll on me. Maybe if I could survive this night, I would be free.

 I was at the stairs when I noticed the light switch in the kitchen was on and the voice of my uncle as well as another strange voice rang through the door.

As I swung the door open. I saw my uncle with a lady, they both were drinking wine and laughing together. The brunette green eyed lady looked like she was in her early thirties, she was slim and quite tall considering she was almost my uncle’s height.

They didn’t seem to have noticed me so I cleared my throat loudly instantly gaining their attention.

“Kaylee? What are doing down here? I thought you were sleeping.” Rick said dropping his glass on the table.

I don’t know why I felt so mad at the moment but I snapped.

“If you knew what I was going through, you would know I can’t actually sleep. Excuse me for trying to mourn my dead parents while you’re down here having a mini party!” I exclaimed glaring at them.

He looked taken aback. “Look Kaylee, it’s not-“

“It’s not what I think? Save it. I don’t really care. I don’t expect you to either.” I said I stormed upstairs forgetting the reason why I even went down in the first place.

If he cared, maybe mom wouldn’t have died in the first place. So I don’t expect him to care now.

Falling on my bed, I slowly felt the exhaustion taking over. My eyes blinked slowly as I fought the sleep eventually losing the battle as everything faded to black.

“No, no, no…” I chanted in my head as I shut my eyes and closed my ears with my hands.

Wake up, please wake up!

I didn’t know how many more of this nightmares I could handle. I felt like I had no control over my own body as I found myself sitting down in an all too familiar truck and familiar street.

The road was busy and I found myself driving. I wanted to stop but I couldn’t. I didn’t even know how to drive!

Immediately I spotted the black Camry with my parents inside, I knew what was going to happen. I tried to remove my hands from the steering wheel, turn, step on the brake, something! I could only watch in horror as I collided into them. I watched as their car summersaulted, pieces of glass flying everywhere as the car hit the floor. Police sirens, screaming, shouting filled the air.

My heart was beating so fast it was painful, I couldn’t scream…shout…move…I felt numb. Numb as I looked at the lifeless bodies of my parents laying on the floor, their eyes staring right at me in an accusing way.

I killed them….I ran into them….I was the driver this time….

I wanted to cry but I couldn’t seem to find my voice. Slowly, I felt a warm liquid around my legs as the environment changed to a completely dark room, I could feel pains all over my body. I could hear my parent’s voice yelling at me. I couldn’t hear what they said, maybe I did but I didn’t seem to understand it.

All I could feel was pain and fear, all I could hear were the shrill voice of my parents yelling at me. That was when I finally let out a high pitched scream as once again, I was thrown back to reality.
