CHAPTER: 26

I heard the door open again and I felt nervous because of the crime that I committed. I tried to wipe the blood on my hand but it is already dry and I can wipe it. So I hide it behind me. The man wearing white with a tray of food went inside and put the tray on my bed beside me. He looked at me because I was looking at him and then he looked under the bed to where I was looking.

“No… no… no” I whispered while I am still nervous and scared that he might discover the dead body that I hide under my bed. He looked at the floor where I was looking. I hope he will not see the blood stains left on the floor. I looked away when he looked at me for a second and he said “Eat your food now and take your medicine” And he was about to leave and close the door when I told him to wait. He looked at me again but I couldn't look back at him.

“Can I ask for an extra pillow and a new blanket and a cloth because I am naked?” I asked him while looking under my bed. Looking at the man that I killed.

“And also a cleaning?” I added with a smile. He didn’t answer, he was just looking at me and looked under the bed and looked at me again.

“You’re pillow and blanket are still clean and you are not naked” He said while looking at me while I am looking under my bed. He took a deep breath and said, “I told you to take your medicine”

“No… no… no…” I whispered while looking at the man under my bed when I saw him moving. I saw his arm move and he removed the blanket that I covered to him. He is about to crawl out from my bed.

“No… no” I whispered again and I looked closer under my bed. My eyes opened wide and my jaw dropped because I thought he was already dead but now he is moving and I don’t want the other man to see him. I looked at the other man who was standing near the door and I saw him looking at me. Like wondering what the hell is happening?

“Quick, go out” I said and I stood up and pushed him out of my room because I don’t want him to see the dead becoming alive again and I banged the door. I took a deep breath because it was closed. I remember how I pushed the door so that my mom couldn't get inside my room. The flash back of my memories gives me a headache.

When I suddenly hear a whistle, a familiar whistle but I can’t remember what it is he whistles and the light blinks that makes me scared. I don’t want to look back because I am scared but I need to see what is happening. The whistle gets nearer and nearer and the light blinks faster and faster. Until the whistle and the blink of the light suddenly stops and I can feel his breath on my neck. I turned around and I saw him floating, facing me now.

“Aaahhh!!!!” I screamed and I pushed him away from me in an instant he’s gone. I looked around and he was really gone. The light is no longer blinking. I am wearing my clothes now, no blood stained on the floor, on my blanket and on my pillow. I am all alone in my room. Everything is back to normal and things were there like nothing’s happened. No crime, no killing and especially no dead man under my bed.

I saw the tray with food and my medicine that the other man left on my bed. I pick up the sandwich and start eating it. I also ate the mashed potatoes, fried chicken with rice and drank a bottle of water. I looked at the medicines that he wants me to take but I don’t like. I picked it up just to throw it on the floor and stepped on it because I don’t want to take it.

I took a deep breath and shook my head when I remembered my dream about Echo. I thought it’s real because it looked real. His kiss, his touch, his hugs makes me crave for him. I wish he would come and rescue me because I really want to be free and be in his arms again.

I looked at the camera and walked closer to it. “Until when are you going to keep me here?” I asked myself while looking at the camera because there was no use if I really asked her. I know she is not going to answer me.

I stared at it for a couple of minutes and showed my middle finger again to them. I know they are recording me and that is my purpose for them to see me doing the middle finger because I am so pissed off staying long inside this room. Alone and bored and then I went to my bed. I lay down and kicked the tray. I heard it fall on the floor. I smiled because the little noise that it was created is like music to my ears because of the quietness of this room that I could almost hear my breathing and my heart beat. Later the man in white will come back to get it.

I closed my eyes and still remembered Echo and our happy moments makes me frustrated because I want to feel his arms, his lips and the way he kisses me again but I can’t do a move or make a way to help myself get out of here. “Please, come and rescue me” I whispered while remembering how he kissed me, caressing me that makes me miss him so much. I am so bored. I took a deep breath counting all the stars in my imagination and fell asleep.
