Worries, dreams and nightmares
DAVIS POV…
“Mum, please do not go! Do not leave me” I screamed out sobbing as I woke up from my sleep. I jilted up as I was in shock when I woke up. I soon realized where I was and turned to see that I was alone in my room. As agitated as I was, I leaped out of bed and looked about before regaining my composure. I sobbed uncontrollably as I laid back onto the bed.
“It was just a nightmare.” I grumbled as I lay down on the bed. My thoughts drifted to my mother, and I hoped she returns as I wished I could simply hear her voice. I had missed her so much and wished she was here.
I just had a nightmare and in my dream, I had just seen my mum on the beach. She was lovely dressed for a beach party but as I looked at her, she didn’t seem happy and I noticed the sadness in her eyes.
“Mum.” I called out for her when I saw her and ran to meet her; she turned when I called and looked at me for a while stretching her hands to reach mine as I ran to meet her.
I noticed tears welled up her eyes, I had almost gotten to where she was when I realized she moved farther away. The more I tried to reach her the farther she moved. I noticed tears dropped from her eyes as she turned and walked away. I called out for her running to meet her but no matter how hard I called, she simply kept walking.
I was still racing after her when I woke up. I peered at the empty space, sobbing uncontrollably as I worried about her. I did not understand why she would leave me.
” Didn’t she love me anymore?” I questioned and reassured myself with what dad had told me about her whereabouts. Even though he had lied about her whereabouts, I hoped he didn’t lie to me again and I decided to believe that she would soon be back.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“I hope she is OK; I hope everything is all right with her.” I murmured as I thought about her. I was not sure how to deal with my feelings and I needed to talk to someone about it. I chose to go to Dad’s room.
When I arrived to dad’s room, I noticed it was locked, which was unusual. As I knocked again, I pondered why it was locked today, and wondered whether it was because of Selene and her mother at the house.
” Dad never locks his room!!” I murmured to myself as I knocked repeatedly without getting an response. I decided to screamed out for Dad, hoping he would hear me and open the door.
” Dad!!!” I yelled out again, and someone approached the door and unlocked it. As the door was unlocked, I quickly pulled the door open and dashed into the room.
” Dad I had a bad…..” I stopped abruptly when I realised it was Selene’s mother who had opened the door, rather than dad.
“Why are you in Dad’s room?” I questioned her as I glanced about for Dad; she appeared drowsy and did not react to my query, which annoyed me as I was getting agigated thinking dad had gone off like mum.
“Where is my Dad?” I asked again as I walked towards the bathroom; I noticed there was no one there, so I turned to face her and inquired about the whereabouts of my father.
She seemed sleepy as I gazed at her because she massaged her eyes and yawned loudly when I asked about the whereabouts of my dad.
” Ewww.” I said as she yawned with all of her mouth open. ” You should learn courtesy.” I added while I wanted for her reply, her lack of response to my query was starting to irritate me.
“Are you okay?” She questioned regaining her composure and ignoring what I just said about covering her mouth because she yawned again after asking if I was ok. I looked at her, offended by her reaction by I just wanted to know where my dad was so ignored her uncultured habits and focused on what was more important. My dad.
” That was not the question I asked.” I mumbled to myself as I glared at her waiting for her response. I had not seen my mother in months, and I could not find my father in his room. All of my thoughts raced to me losing my dad which was something I was sure I wouldn’t be able to handle.
“Where is my dad?” I questioned again, and seeing how irritated I was with her actions, she realised I was in no mood for a long conversation, so she responded.
” He is in the sitting room I guess. Are you ok?” She asked after telling me where she guessed he was. I was annoyed by the way she responded.
“How could she not have known where my father was, when they were together at night” I sighed heavily and responded harshly.
“You guess?” I groaned and dashed downstairs to find my father. I couldn’t bare the thoughts of him leaving too. I got to the sitting room and found him asleep on the couch. I was relieved when I found him.
” Thank goodness.” I said as I tried to catch my breath, I had raced all the way down to find him and here he was sleeping so peaceful. I stared at him and a thought suddenly came to my mind.
“Did he sleep on the couch? I muttered as I approached him, Selene mum was in his room and he was here.
” I hope it wasn’t what I thought though?” I mumbled still pondering on why he was asleep on the couch. He appeared to be sleeping soundly, so I called for him.
” Dad!!” I called out and he stirred on the couch repeatedly and opened his eyes.
