Alexa's pov

Two hours later….

I look around my empty room…. I'm long done packing and my luggage has already been moved out and put in the truck.

I flung my backpack on my shoulder and headed for the door…just then, I heard Will's voice from outside.

“Alexa! Come on!”

Humph! He certainly can't wait to leave this place….they say we're moving for my good…but why do I have this nagging feeling at the bank of my mind that we're actually running from something?

Like we're always on the run… whatever!

“Micah, go in there and pull that lady out!” Will growl at Micah.

“I'm out! I'm out!” I said immediately I step out…I shut the door with a loud bang.

I walk towards Will's old Toyota Camry…the one our dad left him. I made myself comfortable in the back seat…and pulled out a novel from my bag.

Will and Micah got in… Will starts the car and follows behind the truck moving our properties!

After a few moments of silence, Will and Micah begin to talk in hushed voices…. I know they don't want me to hear their conversation.

So, I engrossed myself in my storybook!

*

*

I yawned and opened my eyes… I frown. When the heck did I fall asleep?

“You're awake!” Will said from the driver's seat.

Hold on… driver's seat? We're still in the car?

“Are we not there yet?” I asked.

“No!” They both replied.

I groan and slumps back on my seat…. I looked out the window and saw tall trees swaying to the tone of the wind as we drive past.

My eyes shut involuntarily….tall trees…woods…they cause me nightmares.

I quickly looked away, but not quick enough….my eyes caught something in the woods. I looked again to confirm my doubt and truly there they were….the cause of my nightmares.

Two red eyes!

My head turned away, and I faced front…. I would rather not look back. I need to get that picture off my mind.

“Alexa, are you ok?” Will asked me.

I guess he saw my frightened expression… I simply nod.

“Are you certain? Or you want to stop the car for a while?”

My eyes grew wide. Stop the car? In the woods?

“No!” I said too loudly.

Micah turns to me with a frown… Will can't turn as he's driving, so he looks at me from the rearview mirror.

“Are you sure you're ok?” Micah asked.

“You can tell us anything” Will said.

There's a moment of silence, they both waiting for my reply.

“I think I saw something in the woods.”

They both shared a look, Micah turned back to me.

“There's nothing in the woods, Lexa…your mind must be playing tricks on you” he said.

“Really?”

“Yeah… Maybe you're still thinking about the nightmare”?

Hmm…that makes sense. It must be I'm just paranoid… I need to get that stupid picture off my head.

I reach for my phone and earbuds in my backpack…and begin to go through my playlists.

“How about we resume your therapy sessions when we're settled in California?” Will suggest.

“No.” I replied.

“Why?”

“It won't make any difference”

“Alexa….”

I ignore him and put on my earbuds and decide to play *stuck with you* by Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande.

I'm not going to attend any therapy… I have tried it before, it didn't work.

Furthermore, I just hope moving to California will help stop my nightmares.
