Chapter 4: The Dark Room of Vague Flashbacks
'Since I've been living with the bad-boy Brewer.' I say and run to his balcony getting drenched once again.
Today is the only day I think I've woken up by myself without Jack Brewer to help me to it. But there's a reason: I couldn't sleep all night, I kept getting those weird dreams and flashbacks and to be honest they're really scaring me.
I'm tossing and turning and squirming right now. Something's bothering the crap out of me, I feel so weak, so helpless, so OUT OF BREATH. Shit! I can't breathe that much, only a little. I take the covers off my face and see Jack standing above me crossing his arms, and of course looking mad.
"Hey, Blondie! Wake up or else we're gonna be late!" I can't talk or move much; I can't do anything except shake my hands and gasp for breath. I flap my hands at him trying to make him understand that I'm screaming in pain right now, but he doesn't get it.
"Come on! I don't care if you don't want to go today!" He snaps.
I try once more and gasp for air. He still doesn't get it; he casually puts his hands in his pocket and gives me a death glare, what is wrong with him? Can't he tell when somebody's sick? He shuffles his feet and waits, but obviously I still don't get up.
I can tell he's getting impatient, because he grabs my wrist forcefully and shakes me, "Get up!" But he recoils in shock once he touches me.
"What the-" He puts his hand under my chin and looks down at me, "Hang on." He says and walks off towards the kitchen. I hear thumping noises and then a snap as he comes back a second later with a thermometer in his hand. He shoves it in my mouth -the serious expression never leaving his face- and I automatically close it. When he pulls it out after it makes the beeping noise, his eyes shoot up, but not in the good way.
He puts a hand on his forehead and walks off murmuring something along the lines of, "Shiiiiiitttt!" What happened? I think dumbfounded. What did it say? Why the hell is he on the phone? Why am I asking so many questions? I then hear the distant wail of the ambulance, and my eyes shut themselves. They've lost their energy along with the rest of my body. I feel someone pick me up bridal style and I snuggle in their chest. I have no idea what I'm doing, it's like someone else has taken over my body. I try to stay awake to see what's happening, but it seems like a lot of people are here. The sound increases and my head starts to hurt, I move my head to the side to see if that helps, but it doesn't. I try squirming but the noise only gets louder, and louder and louder. Soon all I see is black.
I'm in a pool of darkness, nothing but pure black for miles and miles.
"HELLO!" I scream out.
Nothing. Nobody replies.
"HELLO!" I scream once again. Still nothing.
"HELLO!" I yell even more, "PLEASE HELP ME!"
This time I think I get something.
"Kim?"
I know this voice, who's voice is it?
"Kim?" This voice is too familiar, "Kim is that you?"
It's my dad, my dead dad.
"Daddy?" I squint a little and see a figure coming towards me.
The figure, or 'Dad', is coming forward, "Is that you, pumpkin?" Yup, this is my dad; he's the only one who has ever called me pumpkin before.
"Dad!" I run to him and hug him tight, I never thought I would do this any day of my life.
"Kim. Kim. Shhh. It's okay stop crying I'm here for you, I'll never leave your side."
My eyes widen in shock. Those words, those same words! The words he said when he died. Those were the same words, the same exact words. I look up at my dead dad; he smiles at me and says them again. I cry even more and he fades away, I try to grab him but all I get is dust. He's gone, he's really gone. But not fully because I hear his voice.
"Look over here."
Suddenly a bright light hits my eye, and I see a vision. It starts with a gunshot:
(This might be a little confusing for some of you so let me help: This is part of Kim's flashback the words that are italics are part of the flashback, the ones that are regular are Kim's mind)
I see a girl, she's about one year younger than me. Which means she's a junior. I take a closer look at her, wait a sec…that's me! I'm leaning against a door smiling for some reason.
I hear talking, it's my dad and someone else.
"Hi_what did you want to see me about?"
"Sir, I'm so sorry."
"Why?"
"Because." The mysterious person replies. There's a pause.
"Hey! Hey! What are you doing?!"
"Sir-"
It's my dad, he's scared. "Please! Please! Don't Shoot"
There it is, the gun shot. A second later I see the younger me come running in.
"Dad!" She's looking down at my dad's limp form, there's a bullet in his neck, but he's half alive.
The younger me turns to the person and looks at him accusingly, "How could do you?" Her voice is shaking because she's crying.
"Kim-" The mysterious person calls my/her name, but she's focused on her/my dad.
"Dad! Please! Please!" Younger me starts shaking Dad's body trying to keep him alive.
"Kim. Kim." He croaks. "Shhhhh. Kim. Stop crying. I'll be here for you no matter where I go. I'll never leave your side." And with that my dad takes his last breath, and younger me bursts into tears.
(The flashback is over and the regular Kim is still in the dark room.)
So that's how my dad died, I start crying as that slight memory comes to my mind, I remember that day. I was going to go tell my dad something important, when I heard that same gun shot. And then I remember seeing my dad dead in front of me. The only thing that I didn't remember was, who that mysterious person was. He seemed so familiar, like he was important to me, but I didn't remember his face that clearly or his name. It's like that part of my story was permanently erased from my mind. I want to know what happened. I want to know who he is. I want to know my story. But most importantly I want to wake up.
Ok so I've decided to put an author's note at the bottom of this chapter today. Because this was a pretty confusing one. So basically what happened was Kim went into a deep sleep once she closes her eyes, and in that sleep she sees her father. And basically she is like watching a movie about her flashback, but half of it is kind of vague and she doesn't remember who the mysterious person who shoots her dad is. So I hoped you like this chapter the next one is full of kick moments so be prepared ;) And also I know I'm not the best writer ever but I'm really obsessed with this story so please REVIEW! :D
