I am soooo sorry that it took me soooo long to update. With my power being out and the crazieness of school I have not had time to write recently. I will try to update soon!

Last time:

As you nod off to sleep you hear a blood-curdling scream and run to see...

Well you can't see, the lights have gone out. Thoughts run through your mind as you slowly get up and creep towards the doorway and peek your head around the corner, and scale the wall. You push forward urging yourself to keep going. You hear another blood-curdling scream and run as fast as you can no longer scaling the wall. You are suddenly airborne and land flat on your face. You start to black out and the last thing you see is your mother's bloody face.

When you come to all you can see is flashing lights and a paramedic leaning over your face touching your neck to check for a pulse. You try to say, "Don't touch me," but nothing comes out. Next, you try to push his arm off of your neck but your arms won't move. He murmurs something but you can't hear it as you black out again.

Your dreams turn nightmares and your life is a nightmare. You don't know what the year, month, day, or what time it is. As you finally wake up, doctors scurry to your bedside to check your vitals and talk about you in manner you find rude. You find your voice and gasp out, "I am right here you know!" Surprised the doctors and nurses jump back and look at you in amazement. After the shock wears off the bustle begins again and soon they have all disappeared. You lay tired in the thin bed and try to figure out what day it is, when someone creaks the door open and walks in.

Hanna strides and in shuts the door behind you. She pulls the shade down on the door and walks over to your bed with an excited look on her face. "Guess what?" she asks getting more and more excited by the minute. You shake your head and she exclaims, "You are coming to live with me when you get out of this old rust bucket. You wonder why this arrangement has to be made and just decide to continue listening. "Your mom left it in her will that would stay with us if something ever happened to her." Hanna looks a little sullen after that last sentence and everything comes crashing back to you. The screaming, the running, the falling. You start crying in realization that your mother is dead, that you are all alone. Hanna just sits there in a dead silence and waiting for you to say something. The silence is just dragging on before a nurse comes in and ushers Hanna out. You drift into a heavy sleep and seem to sleep for days on end. Your life is a living nightmare that doesn't ever seem to end, it only seems to drag on and on.

The next time you wake up Hanna, Aria, Spencer, and Emily stand at your bedside. You throw Hanna a warm smile, throw Aria a small smile, throw Spencer a grim look, and throw Emily a thoughtful stare. You take one more look at the crowd of people that you torment on a daily basis, and turn over on your other side, trying to ignore them. You think about what has happened to you, and why they would possibly be there. Just thinking makes you tired and you drift back into a deep sleep.

Please review. It will make my day and I will give you a virtual hug if you are the first reviewer to review my story! ~A
