(POV: ?????)

 

This place, it’s empty, lifeless. I’ve been here for quite a while now. I don’t know why I’m stuck in this barren wasteland. I used to have such a happy life, with my friends around, though some of my friends bug me, I still love them no matter what. I wonder what happened to him. He was the man of my dreams. WAS. After he had done that, I don’t think I can trust him anymore. I may not know why I’m in this dark and empty place, but I can officially say that I’m trapped here, forever. God knows how long I’ve been here, this place never changes. I just end up sitting down the whole day. But today, today is different. I saw a bright light today; I’m chasing it right now. My heart is pounding. Who knows what I could find when I get there. I keep chasing the light, I won’t stop. I want to see what’s in there and what’s happening. I feel like all the answers to my questions are there.

 

“NIKKI!”

 

The bright light starts to surround my vision. My vision turns just a bit blurry. Suddenly, I could see some familiar faces; they were blurred though.

 

“I WIN! JAMIE YOU OWE ME FIFTY!”

 

That voice, it sounds so familiar…

 

It sounds just like, just like…

 

“ANGELIZ!”

 

“What? You don’t have to shout.”

 

“JUST COME WITH ME!”

 

“Alright, fine.”

 

Those voices, they sounded just like Angeliz and Arissa. I try to lift my hand or move any part of my body. I started to struggle. I felt paralyzed. My vision starts to clear. I see Jamie, Bianca, Albert, Maxine, Nathan, Mij and Blake looking at me. I wanted to cry. I’m free, from there, from that horrid place.

 

“Hey, she’s really awake!” Maxine shouts.

 

“Aawwaik?” I try to speak.

 

“You’ve been in a coma. I wasn’t expecting you to stupidly jump off a building though, that was dumb.” Blake says.

 

“You know Nikki?” Bianca asks.

 

“Yeah. Angeliz introduced me to her before.” Blake replies.

 

“Speaking of Angeliz, where is she?” Mij asks.

 

“SCREW THAT! I’M GOING TO WHACK NIKKI’S HEAD SO SHE CAN SLEEP AGAIN! THEN, I WON’T OWE ANGELIZ FIFTY!” Jamie shouts.

 

“NNOOooo!” I try to shout.

 

“I don’t think you should. Who knows, maybe Angeliz was joking. We all know you don’t pay when you lose in bets.” Maxine says.

 

“I wonder what’s so urgent that Arissa had time to actually drag Angeliz to who knows where.” Nathan says.

 

“Yeah, Arissa wouldn’t usually just come out of nowhere unless it’s urgent.” Blake says and leans on the wall with his arms crossed.

 

“Well, Nikki I think you should just rest for a while, your body is still weak. I’ll get the doctors to get here.” Albert says and leaves the room.

 

I don’t want to rest. Ever. Not after what I experienced. That dark and lonely world, never again will I go there.

 

“Anyway, Nikki what-“ Mij was elbowed by Maxine.

 

“Oof!” Mij says upon impact.

 

“Not now! Let her rest at least.” Maxine says.

 

“Yeah, I agree with her.” Blake says.
