8: something is wrong , crying

alex's POV:

damn it i made a fool out of myself what is happening to me i haven't lost my cool or gotten this emotional in like for years

i simply lock the door and stand in front of the mirror and look into my eyes and say

"get a hold of yourself alex , you're not here to stay , you just need to control your emotions somehow get the papers signed and get the hell out of here"

" but damn it how am i suppose to get the papers signed to go to military when I'm in a mafia house , but why do i feel like something wrong like everything from the moment i stepped here i have been feeling bad like something really really bad is going to happen , i just have to get a hold of myself "

then i pick my phone up and call chief" hey you okay , everything good "

before i could even start talking I'm on the ground sitting with my back to the bed and my arms around my knees its a habit i have formed from little whenever i feel uneasy or afraid i do it " everything is wrong chief , everything"

from my tone tge chief must have known that I'm uneasy his tone becomes serious " what happened, are you okay , tell me what happened"

" chief i don't know why but everything here feels unreal from the driver to the family members its like everything is a play and I'm trapped inside" i sigh

"what about the papers did you ask them "

his voice calms me down because i know he will always be there for me

" chief I'm in a stupid mafia house or something I'm pretty sure if i take out the papers there will be more then 10 guns on my head"

" WHAT , you just try to survive okay , you are strong remember if you can survive getting tortured in our rival country for 2 years straight and still be yourself and protect your own country then a mafia house is nothing for you okay just give me some time and let me check their background "

I don't know why but today especially i feel like everything around me is fake even chief voice sounds like when you give a candy to a kid just so he could stop whining

"alex , i would have said cry it out but i know you so just you know sleep it out , get a good sleep and be yourself from tomorrow and give me two days time I'll try to find whatever i can to help you out"

"okay bye chief"

"bye"

yeah maybe the chief is right nothing is wrong with others its me who is not feeling well so i just need to sleep ,, i get myself up to lay doen on bed and try to stop thinking about all the stuff and focus on my breathing

in

out

in

out

before i knew it I'm asleep

"sweetie remember try to look inside not the outside"

" never judge a book by its cover"

"remember"

the voice keep whispering it feels so familiar so i try to follow it and i end up in a room and i see

"M-Mom"

"remember love never trust easily"

i try to touch her but my hand passes through her

"don't leave mom please don't leave me , everything will be fine if your with me please just stay with me , you loved me so others also loved me but once you were gone daddy changed , my friends changed our neighbors changed everyone said you died because of m-mee" i start choking but continue " everyone left me my best friends betrayed me , dad used to beat me , the neighbors would talk bad about me and no one was there mom PLEASE just stay with me "i stop to wipe my tears but they still continue to fall "i-i wont cry , I won't whine , I won't ask for anything just stay with me"

i fall on my knees and then i see mom squatting Infront of me and saying "always remember your never alone " and then she fades away i cry , i scream

"mom

momm

MOMMMMM

DON'T LEAVE

COME BACK

PLEASE"

BUT NO ONE COMES

i suddenly sit up from the bed and try to wipe my face i feel wet and see tears on my hand

"why am i crying"

I'm confused but shrug it off as i must have had a dream or nightmare and sleep again while feeling that i have forgotten something

something important
