Chapter 10
Felicity's POV.
I get up to quickly forgetting my back injury. I hiss in pain as I feel the bedsheets pull off roughly from my back. I didn't think that they would stick to it and now I'm left with the consequences of having my wounds slightly opened again.
I get up and look back at my bed, I almost vomit from the amount of blood left on my bed sheets, its everywhere. It looks as though someone were murdered on my bed.
I get up and head to my bathroom, I look at my myself in the mirror and see that my face and hair are a mess. My blonde hair has dried blood in it from lying against my back as I slept. My eyes are blood shot with bags under them, I look aweful.
I feel something fall against my cheek and as I go to brush it off I realize I'm crying. I feel my chest contract with pain and I struggle to breathe, a panic attack takes me and my legs collapse as I fall to the floor. I rest my hands and head against the sink as I cry, after ten minutes I get up and shower. The water washes away the blood off my body and I let myself just enjoy the warmth of it. I close my eyes and as I do I picture myself playing Beethoven's Piano Concerto Op. 73, No. 5 in E-flat major. I feel my fingers begin to move along the shower wall as though I were playing the song this second.
After a little while I open my eyes and get out of the shower. I leave the bathroom and look at the time. I've missed a class but I have another chance for a piano lesson at my school.
I get dressed in dark skinny jeans and a black crop top, with my hair in a bun at the top of my head and a few tendrils escaping. I drive to school and as I arrive I see Warren walking out of the a building he would have had a class in, he sees me and walks over with Dan following behind him.
"Hey babe, are you okay? You don't look so good.", crap I guess I didn't hide the aftereffects as well as I thought. "Yeah I'm fine, I'm just tired. I didn't sleep well last night."
"Hmm, that's strange. You seem to be really under the weather recently. Maybe you should go see the pack doctor?"
I wave him off, "Warren, it's so sweet that your concerned for me but really I'm fine."
"Okay, just promise me you'll go see the doctor if this gets worse.", I smile at him "Don't worry, I will. Anyway I have to go to my piano lesson."
I leave Warren and Dan as I walk to the music building. I feel both of their concerned stairs follow me as I walk.
As I get to the room where my lesson is I see the professor waiting for me. "You're late, what took you so long?"
"Sorry, I only just arrived. I didn't feel my usual self this morning."
I see concern pass over my professors face as he takes a good look at me, "well you're lucky I like you so much and know you wouldn't miss my lesson for anything. Otherwise I would have left without a second thought."
"I apologize Mr. Vanderhuff, it won't happen again."
He nods, "It's okay Licy, I understand. Now let's get to work."
I decide I wanted to play the piece I had stuck in my mind this morning while I was in the shower.
I slowly press the keys with my fingers and close my eyes. I take a deep breathe and play the piece from memory. As I play a vision that is almost half dream begins to form in my mind.
*****
I'm taken back to my childhood of when I was five years old. I'm sitting next to a woman, I smell her scent mixed with a soft flowery perfume. She plays so beautifully, I have always wanted to be just like her. I dreamed of one day learning this piece and performing for her to show her how much she means to me. I love her so much, all I've ever wanted to do was make her proud.
As she plays she looks over to smile at me and I smile back, she is so unbelievably beautiful. Her eyes are a soft shade of blue and her hair are as golden as rays of sunshine.
Suddenly everything turns into a nightmare and I'm sitting there by myself and I look at the door to see her standing there crying as she watches me and where she is is dark and hidden in shadows. I reach out and call to her but she doesn't answer. She turns away, where is she going? She begins to fade right before my eyes. I begin to beg, stay with me! Don't leave me! Please! But she is soon gone from my sight.
*****
The vision which turned into a nightmare receeds, I open my eyes to see I'm still playing the song. As I look up my eyes connect with Mr. Vanderhuff's and I see he has a look of sympathy and sadness on his face. My face forms into a look of confusion, I feel something wet land on my hand as I look down and more drops of water fall on my hand. I raise my hand to my face to realize the drops I felt land on my hand was not water but tears and I have been crying.
I quickly get up, "I just remembered I have somewhere I need to be, if you would excuse me.", I say with my voice all raspy. Mr. Vanderhuff still has that look of sadness on his face and doesn't say anything, I swiftly grab my things and leave the room. I search for a bathroom, once I find it I walk in and move to the mirrors to wipe the tears off my face.
I splash water on my face to cool down my red and puffy cheeks. I have never had a vision like that before, it was strange how it changed at the end and became part nightmare. It confused me, I have no idea why that happened.
I make sure I have all my things with me and exit the bathroom. I walk down the halls and push open the door, I get in my car and drive back home. To the home that has changed forever and will never return back to the way it was before. Before my nightmares became reality.
