I CAN HEAR HIM IN THE WALLS

A lie, it’s all lies. I don’t believe you… It can’t be… Stop doing that…

2:36 am! The dreams came back again. It’s been a vicious circle. Over and over again I keep hearing him, I keep seeing him… Stella got up sweaty like she’s been in a fight. For over 3 years now, she hasn’t been able to sleep without having nightmares. Worst of all she can even have them wide awake. Days, weeks, months, and years have passed by and nothing has changed. No progress, just the same old things but worse every day.

She got to the bathroom to wash her face and try to get herself calm. As she looked in the mirror she saw him… he had no face but she could see him. As she turned to look back at him, he was gone. “Why does this keep happening ” she whispered to herself. I can’t keep up like this. She walked back to bed this time sitting and switching all the lights on. Could it be the dark?

The alarm blared and blared but she wasn’t hearing it. Stella! Stella! Stella. She could faintly hear her name, she knew someone called out to her but she couldn’t help herself, she couldn’t answer right back…she was stuck. There’s nothing we can do at this point but wait for her to wake up, the Doctor said. She must have had sleep paralysis and gone into a coma before you guys got to her. Brenda felt weak, It happened again and I’m sure she didn’t take her pills. Why is she doing this…

Brenda wasn’t having it anymore, she was fed up and tired. My daughter is in a coma and I cannot do anything, she cried to Baleria. I told her to stay with me, but she insists on staying alone. Baleria could see Brenda’s pain, she could feel her hurt and saw how helpless she looked. She thinks moving out was the best for her. She needs someone around her. Baleria hugged her tightly, patting her back. It’s ok Brenda, she’ll be fine, she will be.

Stella! Stella! Stella came that whisper again. She could hear him but at that time she wasn’t seeing him. What do you want from me, she screamed. Leave me alone…… Her eyes filled with fear and tears, she couldn’t understand what was going on. Just suddenly there was blood, who’s bleeding, what’s thisssss

Get the oxygen we are losing her, the doctor screamed. Brenda was terrified. Stella, you can’t leave me, you can’t. Baleria tried holding Brenda as she cried calling out to Stella. They put her on oxygen but she wasn’t responding well, they tried to stop the bleeding but they couldn’t understand why she was bleeding from her vagina. The doctor looked scared, you could see the anxiety on his face, he wasn’t sure what next to do… Stellaaaaaaa, Brenda screamed into her ears. Ma’am, please go outside. Take her outside please Baleria. But she wasn’t having it. That’s my only daughter, my joy

6:45 pm! I could hear him, momma. She was finally awake, the bleeding stopped, and she was out of the coma. Stella, we need to get you help. This has gone beyond the hospital and I’m helpless my love. Stella saw she was giving up and had become weak with stress. I’m sorry momma, I’m sorry I put you through all this. I think it’s best I go with him. Just then Brenda looked at her wide-eyed. What are you talking about, you are not going anywhere… we will fight this. Just then, an array of hope was birthed once again.

Stella moved in finally with her mum after being discharged from the hospital. She stayed in the same room with her. This time she didn’t hear him. She slept all through the night and she didn’t see him. It was then she knew, he wanted her alone!

Blakestraction (part three)

“Mum, you know her?” Blake asks. Diane smiled and whispered to her, “is this the Blake?” She nodded still perplexed. “Ok, Blake, I’ll leave you two now, met her crying at the library. Oh dear, ok mum thanks”. Diane leaves and Blake sits next to Cara. “Hey, are you ok?”

Cara found herself stammering. “Ok ok, calm down now. I know how bad you must be feeling. But don’t think too much about it ok?” Blake consoled. Cara looked into his eyes and once again got lost in them. “Are you listening?”

“Oh God, I’m sorry I I I was, it’s fine. I’m glad you are ok now Cara”. Blake at this point couldn’t stop staring at Cara too. Her green eyes, clear skin, and beautiful smile. “Cara, I know you got distracted because of me. And I came here to tell you how much I like you too. But I never got the chance to until now”. Blake takes her hair and slides it behind her ear. Cara stopped breathing, she was shocked to her spine.

Maybe this was meant to happen, get sent out of class and get close to Blake. They looked at each other so deeply. Blake reached out for a kiss and Cara felt a slow rush in her belly, it was magical. Cara felt peaceful again, she felt less tension, she looked back at Blake and said “I like you too Blake”. He smiled at her, held her hand and they walked to God knows where. But Cara didn’t care, she was ok going to mars with him. She thought how Blake being her distraction led to this. “IT WAS A BLACKSTRACTION”

Everywhere stood still to her. Her heart began to beat fast. Two things were at stake now, her grades for Mr Clarks’ course will be affected, and secondly, Blake will think she was rude and unserious. “Get up and leave my class right now, I don’t tolerate students like you in my class. Get out”. Those words struck her like lightning. She felt like a sharp blade just pierced through her heart.

At this point, she just wished the ground would open up and swallow her. She got up in shame, she didn’t even know how to plead and Mr Clark sure wasn’t going to hear anything from her. She left the class and walked down to the college library. All she wanted to do was pick up a sad book and cry into it.

What will they think of me, what will he say to his friends about me? I’ve messed it up. I messed it all up she cried. She finally got to the library, took a book that she had read over and over whenever she was sad, sat down and sobbed quietly into the book. Well obviously because of how quiet the library always is, the library attendant walked up to her. “Hello miss your crying and it’s distracting eve”ryone else. Can we take this outside so you can tell me what’s wrong with you my dear?” She raises her head and stands up to leave quietly with the library attendant. Lila I’ll be out for a while, attend to the students” she tells her assistant.

They found a quiet and perfect place to sit and then the library assistant asks her, “what’s your name?”

She looked up at her and said slowly, “my name is Cara”. The library attendant smiled at her and told her how beautiful her name was. “Well, my name is Diane”. “Hello Diane”, Cara says. “So what is the problem, my dear”.

“Well, I got a bit distracted today at class and got sent out” she said sadly. “So what was your distraction, my dear?” Cara looked down to the ground playing with her feet and replied, “a boy”. Diane smiles softly and pats her hair while she asks for his name.

Cara felt weird telling the library attendant this but at the same time she felt comfortable around her and all she wanted to do was just tell her and feel less burden too. Blake was too much weight already.

“Uhmmmm his name is Blake”. Cara was really shy saying this and couldn’t even look her in the eye. At this point, Blake walks up to them. Oh hello, Cara I’ve been looking for you everywhere. Hello mum. Boom, that struck Cara. Number one, he knows her name, number two, he’s been looking for her and number three, the library attendant is his mother. Somebody, please pinch me.

Blakestraction (part one)

The night was still young and the wind blew softly against the window. The cool breeze coming in slowly beat against her skin, all she wanted to do was lay down and daydream. This is perfect for a date night with Blake she thought.

Before she knew it she began her daydream and of course, it was all about Blake. But then it didn’t seem to last so long, before she knew it the alarm rang loudly and she woke up with so much fear falling off the bed. “I’m up, I’m up she screamed. Oh goodness, I need to throw this thing away, spoil brat” she cried. Now that she was fully awake she walked slowly to the bathroom to freshen up and head to college. She should be there in 30 minutes and class isn’t till 9:00 am. She checked the time and it was 8:10 am already. “Oh, scoot I’m going to be late” she cried. She hurried up and didn’t even have breakfast, there was no time, she needed to be in class before Mr Clark gets in.

Mr Clark was one of her Lecturers who was really mean and so particular about time. How dare you walk into his classes after he has and she wasn’t ready for all that. She had so much already to worry about.

Luckily she gets to college just 2 minutes before his class and she was glad she was able to get there on time. Ok, that will be enough daydreaming for one day especially on Mr Clarks’ days she thought to herself.

All of a sudden her eyes brightened up, it was Blake, his here. She couldn’t help but stare deeply at him. He looked so amazing and he smelt so good you could smell him 5 miles away. Blake looked right back at her and smiled. At this point, she felt butterflies in her belly. “I will savour this moment” she whispered.

Mr Clark walks into the class and begins lectures. One good thing about his classes was how interesting they could be and she most definitely needed a good degree, a First class and she couldn’t mess that up especially not with his classes. But today was different. She wasn’t listening, she kept staring at Blake, his smile creeping into her mind, she felt chills run down her spine. “You there, in what ways can we get technology to the next level?” Oh no! She wasn’t listening. “I’m talking to you miss”. She still couldn’t hear him. “Hey!” He screamed into her ears. At this point, she jerked and looked up. Now Mr Clark was standing right in front of her. She never felt so embarrassed and she knew this was trouble for her and her grades. The class was watching at this point including Blake.
