Unexpected

If only

Elaina's POV

I woke up not wanting to get up. I actually had a good sleep, no one came in, I was alone, it was just so peaceful. But I did have a weird dream. It was scary and I just couldn't tell if it was real or not

*Dream*
I was in bed thinking, I was alone though, letting the music hit my ear. It was calm, but it was weird. This didn't feel like home at all.

I got up and walked to the door, as I was gonna open it, it opened it by it's self. As I got out, there was a hallway, it was dark and cold. I started walking

The more I walked the more I heard weird noises. It sound like.... Mom? I started walking faster. When I got there. I saw Another door. I opened it. It was mom arguing with dad?

"Mom?" I said confused "sweety hi, can you do mommy a favor and leave?" I was confused, I could handle anyone one arguing, how come she thinks I can't handle them arguing?

I was confused until I saw a mirror, I walked towards it and.... It was my 8 year old me. Why am I remembering this. I never lived this.

I looked back at mom and I saw dad pull a gun out. I saw mom begging for her life, saying she had to take care of me and my sister. "Mom what's going on?"
"Oh sweety, mommy and I are gonna have to have a serious talk, do you mind going to your room?"Dad said

"Mom?" "Listen to your dad sweety" I agreed and as soon as I closed the door, I heard a shot. I flinched hard not wanting to make noice. I heard another shot, and this time I ran to my room.

I got in bed and put the sheets over my head, after 4 minutes past, I heard footsteps getting closer. I started breathing hard, that I started crying

I heard the door knob twist, and someone came in. I got so scared that I hold the covers tighter. They stood in front of the bed and after a minute the person took the cover away and put a cloth in my mouth.

I woke up not knowing if I should be scared or concerned?

*End of dream*
But I'm not going to lie, I did sleep good. But something about that just made me think more about my mom and sister. Like where was my sister?, when that happened. Mom said she had to take care of my sister and I

What did my mom ever do to get killed by my dad. Fuck, I don't want to think of this anymore. I finally got up and went to the restroom to brush my teeth, when I was done, I heard the door opened

"Elaina?" I heard Lionel said. I actually didn't have the guts to speak, it was like I was weak. I heard him say my name again, but I didn't respond.

That's when I heard the door of the restroom open "what the hell Lionel, what if I was changing!" I finally had to courage to speak "you weren't answering, I thought you escaped like last time" "I wold but, I don't got motivation to do it" I said the word sarcastically

"Come down and eat..." he paused "I actually haven't seen you eat since the day you came with me"

"That's because you never got me food" I rolled my eyes "and I'm not hungry, so I'm good"
I lied "Elaina, you need to eat, you haven't aten for one day already "ok and?... i can always wait another day, and another, and anoth-" I get cut off by Lionel speaking
