Eight : Liam
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I sat patiently on the couch waiting for Liam to walk through the door, I needed to give him a piece of my mind. I tapped my foot on the floor impatiently, staring at the clock every 30seconds. It was 8:00pm and he wasn't back yet, maybe he was with her. Not that am against their relationship but they shouldn't have kept it from me, if I didn't see them am sure she would have never told me.
Just as thoughts roamed around in my head, the door creaked open and liam walked through
"speak of the devil" I said standing up "am sure she must have... " my words hung up in my mouth when Kelly walked through the same door standing beside liam.
"Oh great! Why don't we all have a family meeting" I spat humorlessly while gesturing for them to sit.
"Martha"
"Oh don't Martha me" I hush my brother "you went behind my back to date my friend"
"It wasn't.. "
"You went behind my back to date my brother" I say to

News flash.I didn't have a life anymore.I stopped going to school after Kelly and Liam died and that was three weeks ago.It was me and my dad, who was my least favorite person.My life was over.I was eagerly waiting for it to be my turn.People feared me, they called me bad news. Anytime I walked the street, people will shift far away from me. I felt like a disease that had no cure.I was carried away by my thoughts that I didn't hear my door open and my dad walk in.I glanced at him once then back to the wall that seemed to be better comfort than him."I'm going to the store to get some food stuff" he said but I didn't as much move."You have really been through alot and I don't know how to comfort you but know am here for you" still didn't move"I'm the only one you've got now, stop hating me" his voice went up a bit.I turned.&n
A Dream Ten : Dream
Have you ever been running from the inevitable?I was.I was running.I had no idea where I was running to but I was running.I was running away from death.I wanted to die but at the same time, it scared me so much.My bracelet kept sparkling every five minutes.I looked like a crazy person but that was the least of my worries.*you cannot outrun your death*The voice in my head said but I refused to listen to it.There must be something, anything for me to do to stay alive.Panicked tears streamed down my cheeks as I kept running but suddenly halted when I saw a cross symbol.A church.Why haven't I thought of that ever?I ran inside, straight up to the alter. I knelt down on the small steps and cried unto the floor.Oh help me lord. Forgive me all my sins and save my soul."My chil
A Dream Eleven : The end
I woke up?I turned around to be met by my empty room.I thought I had already died, why did it have to be a dream?I was ready to leave this world already, there was nothing here for me. Just why?I looked down at my hand to check if it was sparkling, but there was no bracelet. I don't remember removing it. I rolled around in my bed, checking for it when I caught a pair of eyes in the door way. My heart almost left my chest as the eyes disappeared.What was that?I slowly got down from bed and step by step, I reached the door way and saw no one. I continued my slow steps till I got to the living room. What I saw next made my heart stop."HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!"My hand flew to my heart and I clutched at the invisible thing.Was I going crazy? I definitely was.Standing there with wide smiles on their faces were mom, dad, Liam, kelly, and Lilly.Was
A Dream Prologue
I smiled when I saw Ben walking towards me, as handsome as ever. The lights illuminating his sharp facial features in all their glory."Come here" I pouted, opening my hands wide for him.He reached me and pulled me flush against his hard body. I closed my eyes taking in his masculine scent and feeling his warmt.But suddenly, I felt a liquid splash on my face and neck. Wondering what it was, I opened my eyes to see a headless Ben hugging me.I screamed and screamed and pushed him away and continued screaming.His body fell to the floor close to his pool while his head was already floating in the pool.I screamed again and again until I screamed out of my sleep.I jumped up on my bed, clutching my chest tightly. I looked around and realised I was in my room with Lily who was now awake due to my scream."What's wrong Martha?" She asked worried and a little scared"I ha
A Dream One : Ben
"What's wrong?" Kelly, my best friend asked and I gave her a confused look."You have been brooding all day" she said, worried laced with her voice."Its nothing, I just" I hesitated "I had a nightmare last night, a very scary one""Nightmare?" She laughed "is that what's eating you up? She asked. I looked at her not knowing what to say."Come on, cheer up. You are 18, don't be scared of nightmares now" she teased "its just a dream" Lily also said that but why didn't it feel so.I have had tons of dreams before but this one just seemed too off, too scary, too real. I am really over thinking this, maybe I should just stop worrying so much. Its just a dream."Where did you get that" she yelled out of nowhere making me flinch a little."Get what?" I asked"That" she pointed to my wrist where my silver bracelet sat."Oh,

"How was your.... " my mom'swords hung in her mouth when she took in my rigid, almost lifeless form, plus the police man behind me."Dear lord! What happened to you sweetie?" She rushed up to me, touching my face frantically but I was too drenched to answer. I was still in shock."Ben is dead" my mom gasped as the police man said "it was a horrifying scene, we cant explain how and what happened yet but for now, take care of your daughter" he finished and left me with my mom after telling her that he would come back the next day for questioning."Oh sweetie" my mom hugged me tight against her body. Fresh tears rolled down my cheeks."Ben. Lights. Pool" was the only thing that came out of my mouth."Its okay sweetie" she rubbed her hand soothingly up and down my back."Why did you leave me Ben?" I cried furiously "I didn't" he replied wit
A Dream Three : Georgia
Two weeks had passed after Ben's funeral. Going to school didn't seem so exciting to me without Ben. I sat in class absent minded, my thoughts all over the place. His words haven't left my mind since then. I had no idea what he meant but it bothered me so much."Martha" I looked at Kelly"I've been calling you for over a minute now. Are you okay?" She asked"I will be" I told her but mostly myself.Ben's death was all over the school, he was the best at the football game and the team captain. I wasn't the only one missing him. A moment of silence was held for him in the football pitch earlier today. Looking at his large picture frame glued to the hallway, I felt tears well up in my eyes again."Don't, you have cried enough" Kelly ordered as she pulled me in a tight hug."I should have told him" I muttered"Told him what?" She pulled away and looked at me
A Dream Four : mourning

A Dream Seven : kelly
My hands folded into tight fists. For the first five seconds, I thought my mind was playing tricks on me or maybe I could be dreaming again. These days I could hardly even distinguish between dreams and reality. Maybe my brother was just stalking her and nothing more.No way! It couldn't beMy jaw clenched repeatedly. Liam pulls away and left her smiling to herself. The sight of her smile made my blood run cold. I matched up to her and she froze up."Care to tell me what the hell I just saw" my voice went up the roof."Martha I can explain" she said too quickly"You have one minute to do that" I try to calm myself, hoping that the answer she would give me won't push me over the edge."Am sorry I kept this from you, I wanted to tell you earlier" my eyes go wide"Oh my God" I seethed"Liam and I are dating, I swear I was going to tell you" my hands flied to my hair as I ran my fingers thr
A Dream Six : Anger
Martha save me! Martha help me! Martha! Lily's voice was all I could hear in my head. I sat on my bed, my legs clutched up against my chest with my arms, my eyes felt so heavy. Still frozen, I stare into space but somehow I noticed that Kelly sat by me and Liam was pacing back and forth in my room. I was a mess. I was totally disconnected with the world. There were no tears left to cry anymore. My whole body was vibrating. Lily is gone. I watched her die in front of me. She was gone. No Ben, no mom, no Lily.I just wanted to die

So many things were happening in my life lately, Ben was gone, mom was gone. Its been two weeks after mom's burial, My life seemed too weird. Thankfully, I still had Lily and Kelly and Liam. As for my dad, I hoped that the demon inside him came out soon.Sitting on my bed on a Thursday morning, with my book in hand, I drifted off into space. I didn't go to school the last two days. Although Liam and Lily went to school, I didn't feel like it. Kelly had been helping me with her notes and even the details of what happened. She was just the best.Nevertheless, the dream I had about Ben telling me I killed him was still on my mind, not to talk of when he said his death was the beginning of others. It still scared me especially when I had no idea what he meant.I thought and thought and I suddenly slept off."Lily?" I called out and she turned around to face me but just then, she was surrounded with fire, t
