Run

part 4

I woke up in a pool of sweat, shaking
And heaving from this horrible nightmare I just had. My chest hurt from how hard my heart was beating. I looked around my room to make sure no one was in there with me. My throat was dry, and I needed water. Now I dreaded not having a bottle of water in the room with me at all times, slowly getting up I felt a sharp pain shoot up in me from my thighs but that couldn't be what I was thinking. Rushing to the mirror, I slowly inspected myself from head to toe, I had no marks anywhere on my body. The sheets of my bed look too clean for something like that to happen. What was I even thinking? Maybe I'm just physically tired. That's all, no need to worry.

The day went by so quickly I didn't notice it as I was dazed most of the time, something was happening but I just didn't know what, and the thought of finding out doused me in fear. My stalker had been way too quiet these days, and at this point, I thought he had given up, or it was someone's sick joke of a prank. But I knew that was far from the truth and that somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew he was still near and watching me.

"You look tired dear, are you sure you have been getting enough sleep?" Calista asked, looking at my face. I looked at her and then back at my cup of coffee, not knowing what to say. I just sipped one cup of coffee. How was I going to explain that I have a stalker and these weird dreams? They are so realistic I-

"Rena"
"Cal, I'm okay, trust I've just been working overtime on my projects." An awkward silence followed after I knew Cal didn't believe me, but she knew not to push further. We were about to head out of the café but as I stood up I let out a wince as pain shot up my body, these days my body woke up in pain every morning I think I need to change my mattress maybe it got old. What a task that would be to buy a new mattress and have it delivered home, then put it on my bed frame.

"Cal, has Zyair texted you these? Any of these days, he has been very quiet." I said, taking out my phone. Maybe I should start searching for a mattress should go for a queen-sized or a double.

I felt it... a hand making its way up my thigh in slow motion. I can't move and it terrifies me, the presence of a person I can't right on top of me. This feeling of helplessness makes me want to cry. The hand tugs on my underwear and slowly removes it from my body, I'm begging in my mind that it doesn't happen but I know it will, it always will and there's nothing I can do about it.

I woke up in pain again it's all the same me walking into the bathroom to inspect myself only to find no evidence. Have I lost my mind about what is happening?
These very vivid dreams have put a tall on I started to dread sleep in fear of having those dreams again. I need fresh air maybe I should go for a walk or visit a friend, I think I'll visit Tobi as the others are busy. The sky today is so beautiful if I could I would spend a whole day just staring up at the sky, the walk to Tobi's house was about 30 minutes. I was wary of my surroundings just in case I ran into someone. I make my way into the yard of the house and spot roses, I can't stand the sight of them. I walk towards the door and open it but as I do I hear something that makes me freeze.

"Send her the flowers...it will be fun tonight as I visit her while she sleeps."
