Give 'Us' A Chance

SCARLETT'S POV

Hey, my silent readers :) I would be so glad if you even just say Hii in the comment section. Although I would love it if you told me how my story is so far, what do you think about our not so love birds ;).

"N..no....no. No, it can't be." I looked around me. 

"Where am I? W...wh..what's happening?" Panic striking me.

"HELP! SOMEONE! HELP!"  I shouted at the top of my lungs.

Nothing, no one answered. Only my voice echoed. 

"PLEASE! OPEN THE DOOR!!" 

Was it a room?

"OPEN THE DAMN DOOR, WHO IS THIS? WHAT DID I DO?"

I was locked.

 No escape. 

Not even a hole to transfer air. 

No fan above. 

Hollow space. 

No, I wanna go out. How?

It's suffocating. I can't breathe.

I am sweating bad. 

I kept on pacing around.

One minute- Passed.

Thirty minutes- Passed.

Sixty minutes (i guess)-Passed

I guess whole day-Passed.

I was tired, so tired. When I dozed off, I don't remember. But the next thing I know was.......

I couldn't breathe. I felt hands around my throat. My eyes popped open. I gasped for breath.

I saw the face of the owner. A devilish smile. My lungs.

"Scars" the owner spoke, I tried to shove his hands away. I couldn't breathe. "My Scars." He laughed. Tears streaming down my face. 

"N... no....no, don't" I gasped. 

"My Scars" He used all his force to press my throat. And the next thing I know was.......

"NO!" I audibly gasped and sat straight. I was breathing hard. Sweats formed at my forehead. I touched my cheeks, and it were soaked with tears.  I looked beside me, Lily. She was sleeping soundly. No care of world. I sighed. Thank God she didn't wake up. 

I saw the clock; it was almost 3 in the morning.  It's still too early, but I know there will be no sleep anymore. I got up from bed and went to the balcony. I leaned towards the railing and tried to relax my body. The sky above was glittering and the city below was sleeping. And here I am, neither able to shine nor able to sleep. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. It's annoying and frustrating. 

I wanna live normal life, again. 

Someone nudged the back of my leg. I turned my head back to see Tommy, my golden retriever. He looked at me with those cute innocent eyes. He leaned towards my leg and very slowly moved his head at the back of my leg while closing his eyes. Although, it didn't help much but it was heart melting. He senses me perfectly. I moved towards the city outside.  

I thought bringing Lily back with me will help somehow but no. It's been now 5 and a half years, and I am still not able to find any cure to get rid of these nightmares. I am free I have moved on but these nightmares.............they seem to love me too much. I took a deep breath again and went inside and sat on my bed beside my flower. My Lily. Tommy sat a bit far away from me giving me the space I need. Lily was lying on her stomach with her teddy bear very badly squeezed between her arms. Her lips slightly parted. She was in deep slumber. The last time when I saw her, I gave her this teddy bear and she named it Toto. And she never goes anywhere leaving Toto behind.
