None of You Can Escape

TRISH'S POV

Trish I heard Elle called out but I couldn't respond, my whole feelings felt like I've been pressed down by a force I can't fathom, I guess this is what sleep paralysis feels like. I'm suffocating and I can't move.

ME

Trish, I heard her shout but I can't even answer. Is this how I'm going to die? After everything I've been through, I can't die like this. Don't I deserve to be happy, don't I deserve to be loved?

I can feel my hands moving as the force holding me back subsides. Elle, I'm right here I whispered not sure it was loud enough for her to hear. Thank God she heard me, I heard the doorknob move, and I can move my body. Trish why are you sweating like this, she asked in a voice filled with concern, I am so lucky to have her in my life, she is the best thing that has happened to me since I moved here from LA.

Elle, I thought I was never going to see you again, I was so scared and afraid of dying, leaving you here all by yourself. You're exaggerating Trish, tell me what happened. I've been calling you for over 5 minutes and you didn't answer, I guess you were in a deep slumber. Elle, I just experienced what sleep paralysis felt like, I heard you but I was unable to answer it was like I was being suffocated by the shadows. Don't laugh babe, it isn't funny, I really thought I was going to die. Stop exaggerating, you watch too many scary movies and you sleep hungry so you are bound to have a nightmare. So, let's forget about your sweet nightmare, I come bearing good news. I really hope it is not about another blind date you set me up with unless I'm going to murder you in your sleep. Not that Tee, but you received mail from care.com and I'm sorry I couldn't help myself. I peeked into it.
