Chapter 10

Crissy’s Point of View (In Her Dreams)

While driving home from university for summer break. The view of the forest when going home was terrific. I turn the music on loud. My favorite song came on; It’s my life by Bon Jovi. While dancing in the car, a deer runs in front of my car. I almost didn’t miss it. I pull off to the side of the road. My breathing was loud, and my anxiety kicking in.

I grab my handbag and take my medication to calm myself down. Climbing out to get some air. Pacing back and forth waiting for the medication to do its work. Finally, it starts to work, I could breathe normally again. Fuck, that was a close call. Crissy do not mention this to mom. She might kill me. Climbing back into the car, driving in silence the entire ride home.

Arriving home, my phone buzzes, and my mom’s name pops on the screen. Answering the call. Trying to keep my tone normal. Hoping my mom doesn’t notice anything different.

“Hey, mom,” I say excitedly.

“Hello, nugget. Are you home yet?”
