I make sure Dani's school knows everything in case she has a seizure when I drop her off. Homeroom has already started when I get to school. "Hello honey," Ms. Mary greets when I walk in. "How's that beautiful girl of yours?" "Head strong with attitude and a set of lungs." "Ain't that the truth," she scoffs. Ms. Mary watches Dani for me when she's sick on a day that I have a test and loves her to death. She knows exactly how my baby is. She hands me my late pass with the room number and teacher. E. Parker. "A new teacher, Ms. Mary?" "Yes dear, but I know I don't need to worry about you giving her a hard time, do I?" "No, ma'am." I knock and wait patiently at the classroom door with my slip in my hand. A moment later, the door opens to reveal a gorgeous blond-haired beauty. She is dressed in a navy-blue pencil skirt that hugs the curve of her hips with a light blue blouse tucked in. She has the most striking blue eyes, deep blue with a hint of sea green surrounding her pupil. She clears her throat and I realize I am staring. "Um, sorry I'm late, rough morning." I hold out my late pass to her. "Take a seat, don't make this a habit." "Yes ma'am." My eyes catch a familiar face sitting in the back, Caleb. My best friend in the whole world. And lucky me, there is an empty desk next to his. "You're late," he says. "You try getting a four-year-old ready for school. She fought me all morning after waking me up at five." I keep my voice low so only he can hear. Not many people know about Dani and I plan to keep it that way. The office staff, Caleb, and my-ex, and maybe one of my teachers, Mrs. Evans. "I thought she was excited to go to school?" "Me t-" I stop when I hear her talk. Her voice is really soothing. "I'm Miss Parker. I will be your home mentor. That means if you get into any trouble, your detention will be served with me after school. I don't like having to stay after school, so please behave. I will also be your teacher for last period AP Calculus class. Now, let's go around the room and you introduce yourselves to me. I would also like to hear one interesting thing about you." Follow Kylie on her journey of love and overcoming her demon. **Mature content **Trigger Warning

“You have to let me wake up,” a silver haired girl with my eyes shakes me. “I need to be let out before it’s too late.” I look at her in confusion. Who is she? This is a dream, right? “What?” I question. “He’s coming. You know it. I know it. We are away from home. It’s the only time the barrier is down. You have to let me out.” The panic in her voice is clear, with every word her pitch gets higher. It starts to get dark and cold. She looks around in horror, trying to find something. My breathe comes out in white clouds. She still has a painful grip on my shoulders. It’s so dark, I can’t even see her in front of me. “WAKE UP! WAKE UP NOW AND RUN!” She is screaming in my face.
