But I always do

I turned my gaze to her again, her cheeks were wet and her nostrils kept inflaming.

She was crying but she looked beautiful as always, but that was the least of my concerns right now.

She wasn't taking her eyes from me and it was weakening me.

Tears kept running down those cheeks.

I tried figuring what to say to her but everytime I drew a blank.

" That's all " she sniffed but the tears didn't stop.' Say something ' my subconscious tried shouting at me. But it also couldn't generate a sentence.

" I guess this is good bye " she said and I should have said something but my stupid ego. She smiled forcefully and rubbed the tears away.She moved out without a second look at me.

Prologue.

I look around and try to find her in the darkness without any luck, my heart keeps pumping really first. I'm really scared but I don't stop searching for her.

" Jerry " she screams and I look around unable to trace where the voice is coming from." Jerry " I hear her again and again.

Finally I spot her. I run to her direction and as I'm about to reach her.

Suddenly someone jerks her.

" J " she keeps screaming stretching her hand for me to reach it.

" Anisha " I stretch my hand and try to reach for it. They keep on pulling her, I know who's pulling her away from me it's her dad, he looks determined undisturbed of her screaming out my name. I try to reach for her but I also notice that I'm now being held back buy many people, they keep holding me as I struggle to reach for Anisha.

" Let me go " I say but they don't listen. I look back at them and see faces are really farmiliar but I can't remember where I saw them.

I struggle again but they are too strong for me. " Anisha " I scream and struggle but it's all useless. Her dad keeps on drugging her away.

" Jerry, Jerry " I hear them calling me.

" Jerry, Jerry " they are now shaking me.

" Wake up "

My nightmare came to an end.

" I'm up, I'm up " I open my eyes and what was in my sight I couldn't make out what it was. It looks like a bushy face, with dried up lips.

" Ahh " I scream and jump from my messy bed. I hear him laughing.

" Dude why do you put you face so close to me ? " I say to him.

" I was waking you up " he continues laughing.

" Don't do that " I say and collect myself from the ground.

" Wake up it's already 2p.m " he says.

" So? " I say as I lie back on the bed and cover myself again. He pulls the blanket from me.

" Yesterday you said you were going to clean up this mess " he says and I look around the room. It looks really abandoned.

" I will " I say even though I know I won't.

" No get up and move out, go to work and clean up yourself look at you " he says and I think it's a stupid suggestion, how could I possibly look at myself I don't have a mirror. I mean I've taken long without looking into one, it's been a total of ab....

" Hello Jerry..." he snaps his fingers at me.

" Are you listening ? "

" Yeah, yeah "

Good, you've go out and buy some supplies, Philip said he also wants to see you next project in two days so tomorrow you won't be sleeping, meanwhile I'm bringing something home " he smirks and I know what that look is.

" Ahh, again " I growl.

" What ? Nigga's gotta do stuff " he said and walked out of the room.

" And don't forget " he shouts outside the room.

I sigh and lay back down. I don't feel like doing a damn thing, I've heard this feeling for a really long time so much so that it has become part of me.

I finally woke up and brushed my teeth only because I feel like bathing is a lot of work.

Luke my roommate/best friend always gets me to do things I don't want to, he has this new habit of bossing me around. I don't like it, it reminds me of someone.

Opps no, no I shouldn't be thinking.

I had promised myself not to.

But I always do....
