The day was dying down and finally coming to an end. It was a rough one too and I was ready to pass out. Lying in my cozy blankets, getting those half awake dreams...ring ring ring. Oh dear, my phone. I sigh and sit up as I look over to the time. Eleven thirty!!! Jeeze, who needs me this bad. When I answered I was immediatly chilled. The phone I had picked up was my old one, I had just bought a new one today and it was hard to get, considering the throngs of people in the store due to black friday and all. My phones battery lay next to it on my desk, I truly don't know why I don't throw things like this out, what can I say I'm a pack rat. The voice on the phone was cold. It had an evil, raspy sound. My body became ice and I sat down. Then laughter. This provoking laughter, I could not have it!
"Ya know what." then it went dead. Just like before. I was startled. Sitting in the dark now looking at my phone. The street lights bouncing off the black screen. I was breathing heavy, in disappointment that I wasn't able to argue...but, argue with what. I decided I should go back to sleep. I was too tiered to obsesse over something that just couldn't be. So I layed back into bed.
My eyes stayed open all night. By the time i fell asleep the sun was beating into my room, casting all sorts of shadows. Then my alarm clock. A tune play on it's radio. Then without me touching it yet, it stopped. Confused I jerked out of bed to look. The time was turning backwords on it then...it went blank. I picked it up and the wire was cut. Now I knew something was up. I just didn't know where to start.
Half asleep and still tiered, I couldnt take a shower now afraid something bad could happen. I got dressed, I was planning to go to the library to see if they had any supernatural books or something of the sort to help me out. When I finally went to go out, the door was wide open. I stopped dead in my tracks. Holding my breathe out of suspence something was going to happen, I passed out. The last thing I saw was blurs. Maybe just me loosing oxygen or something else.
When I awakened my head was pounding, like there were a little man in there pounding on my skull. As I went to stand I plopped back down. I had then relized I wasn't where I had passed out. I look over to where it had happend and everything was tipped over, like a twister just ripped through it. I was really starting to get nervous. Now whatever has been happening is doing it worse. I got up, I needed to get an asprin, I can't do anything with a migrain. I went to get some tap water. I turned the fauset. First nothing happend. Then loud sounds like screeching of new chalk against a board. I covered my ears. The water gushed out spilling all over the place. I jumped back, again it stopped then flowed like it would have. I waited a few seconds before going back to the sink. I stepped over and turned it off. I thought it'd be safer if I walked over to a neighbors. I was glad it was still light out. I wasn't planning on spending anymore time in what had become a hell hole.
I rushed out the door. I figured I'd save the neighbor the trouble and swallowed my pills. I was practically booking it down the street. Bumping into a lot of people who seemed more agitated today than ever. Sighing in relief, finally making to somewhere safe. I walked in the first door to the apartment building and beeped in.
"Hey looser! Still live here?" chuckling to myself I waited for the sweet reply of his voice.
"Jaette, what are you doing here? So unexpected."
"Well, are you going to let me up?" I smiled.
"Uh, I kind of am doing something at the moment, you should have called first sorry." Shocked I turned and pounded into the door. It slowly shut behind me and I agervatedly walk onward.
Growling, I started screming throughout the street, "What was I thinking!! Why would I even try." I kept on going till I was in unfamiliar territorry. Grunting in fustration I turned back around and kept on going. I ended up walking for an hour before I came to a stop. I needed something to cool me down, so I got a hot dog.
The afternoon was becoming late. I walked to another friends house, one that has my back.
Knocking on the door for the tenth time I was about to give up, loosing hope for my fate. I turned and just as I had the door swung open. There she stand. In her bathrobe and hair up in a floaral pink towel.
"Hey! Forgive me, I was in the shower, come in, come in!" I walked in turned and hugged her. The essence of her house was brilliant it smelled like many sorts of sages and candles.
"I'm sorry I would have called...but, I'm scared to see what would have happend then!" I fell back onto her tacky orange couch where I had a view of her hallway that lead to three rooms and other various items. "There's so much that happend today. You wouldn't even believe me!"
"Hah, yeah right. I got some things to tell you. I'll go change and then we'll talk."
"Sure, sure."As I sat and waited. It seemed to take an unusual amount of time for her to change. I got up to go see if she was alright. When I got to her door it swung open and we both ended up screming and jumping back.
"Jaette! You can't scare me like that," she said as she walked out of her room punching me in the arm.
"Well sorry just, you really don't know what I've been through."
"Alright but I'm telling you it can't be as worse as my story!" I gave her a look. She replied with another.
"Well I think" I stopped for a moment and took a breathe then beagan defiantly again, "I am being haunted by ghosts." Then the creepiest thing happend. She stared at my face wide eyed. Her mouth began to drop.
"No, that's..that's absurd becuase...me too."
Exitedly I began, "What really? You too?" She gave me a goofy look.
"Hah, yeah right! You think I'd really believe that. Ya know it's not april first yet!"
"No that's not it at all, it's not a hoax. I'm telling you for real! So many weird things today happend." I tried desperatly to get her to see. I had no effect at all.
Night settled in and she made a bed out in the living room. Tonight was chilly, and I had 3 blankets alredy. Either from the weather or maybe because I was just so fraeked out. I becam pensive. Running everything through my mind. Slowly I began to drift away from reality into somewhere I wish I wasn't.
