Chapter 3

I woke up on my bed. My hands were numb due to the way I was lying down. My vision was blurry and I had a terrible headache.

I looked around and everything was normal. Even Chashire was sleeping on her pillow as usual with her stuffed animal beside her.

I tried to move and thankfully I could. I sat on my bed still a little dizzy.

What had happened? It was like I fainted but I lost consion before. And this was unlike any other time.

I heard a knock on the door and my mum entered the room. "Hey honey, how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine mum, just a little dizzy." I say holding my head.

She places some clothes on my desk and leaves. I then immediately call Jasmine.

"Hey girl! How's it going?" I hear her scream from the opposite line.

" Theres something wrong going on with me."

"Tell me something I don't know." She laughs.

"Jazzy I'm serious. I fainted again today. But it was unlike other times. It was really creepy. I had no control over my body."

"Really? Have you told your mom yet?"

"No. And I won't instill I find out what this is. I don't want her to worry about me like the last time. Remember what she had to go threw?"

"Yeah, right. But please tell me if anything else happens. And I also wanna know everything the doctor will tell you. Please?"

"Sure thing... Thanks Jazzy. I can always count on you. You are the best."

"Yeah I know. I get that all the time. I love you too weirdo." She says goodbye and hangs up.

I change clothes and head down to the bathroom. I stare at my reflection.

My eyes have dark circles around them. And my irises are a dark green than their usual hazel. My face looks drained of color and my hands are hanging on both sides of me like dead. I feel like crap.

I wash my face and braid my hair. I place concealer under my eyes and some blush to give color to my pale cheeks.

._._._._._._._.

We entered the doctors office and sat on the chairs.

" Sandy! So glad to see you again. How have you been lately?" Dr. Wanes gives me his gentle and friendly smile making me forget all the bad scenarios I had created for this appointment.

" She's been fine. Just a little shaky." My mum makes a joke that makes me wanna choke on my own spit to death.

I love her so much but sometimes her jokes are just terrible!

" Actually I've been loosing my balance lately and I don't really know what's causing it." I said trying to break the akward silence.

" Well then let me run see your test results first." I give him the paper with my blood analysis results.

" These look completely fine to me. You aren't lacking any vitamins and the glucose in your system is as much as it should be. So let me check you now." He said pointing on the chair beside him.

He checked my eyes, my pulse and many other stuff I can't really remember and then said.

" You are completely healthy. Nothing's wrong with you Sandy. You just need to relax. Are you stressed about something in particular?"

" Nope. Everything's normal and I've been working on my stress for the past few months now" I respond.

" Well then, there's nothing for me to do here. I'll see you on our next appointment. Just remember, everything's helthy as long as it's in moderation." He smiled jently and showed us to the door.

_._._._._._._._

"So basically there's nothing wrong with you except your habit of stressing over nothing and that terrible tee you are wearing?" Jordan says.

" Hey! Whats wrong with my tee?" I ask offended.

" Nothing. It's just too black. As well as the rest of your outfit. And your era."

"My era?"

"Yeah your era. It's so gloomy. You, are gloomy!" He says pointing at me from head to toes.

" I'm not. " I cross my hands over my chest.

" Yes you are and you better get over it. Put your self together and go get a life! Preferably with Paul Hundson in it and me with a killer new outfit. Oh! And Jazzy, with a boyfriend."

"You are sick." I tell him with a smile on my face. He always makes my day.

"And that's why you love me hon." He smiles back.

We had been sitting in my room for almost an hour talking while my mum was in the kitchen making us pancakes.

" Anyway, where is Jasmine by the way?" Iask Jordan.

"She is out buying you a birthday gift. Oops shouldnt have said that."

" Oh shoot! I forgot it's my birthday in three days." I say shocked.

"What idiot forgets his birthday? Apparently my idiot of a friend who is now tuning 16!" He screams.

"Yeah whatever I'm not planning on doing anything anyway. It's just another birthday. I've already had 15 of those."

"But none of them was your sweet sixteen!"

"Who cares? Because I don't. " I say making Jordan furious.

Fortunately the moment he's about to explode my mum calls us to the kitchen.

Before I start eating, my mum looks at me mischievous smirk.

"You've got a package."

"Who, me?" I ask shocked.

"Yup. It's on the sofa"

I get up and walk to the living room. I see a huge package placed carefully on the couch. I open it and see the same guitar I was playing on when we visited the mall today.

A card is attached to the box. I open it and see:

" I couldn't help but notice how much this guitar suits you and your unique style today. So I thought I'd give you an early birthday present.

PS. FYI I've read all five of the "An unfortunate fairytale" novels.

Yours truly, P.H"
