Remember me.

Chapter 17 [Trauma]

ORIAN'S POV

DAY 46

This morning I woke up very suddenly and started hyperventilating.

Sweat was dripping down my forehead and my hands were shaking like crazy.

I couldn't recollect anything.

I didn't know who I was or where I was.

It only occurred for a minute but that minute felt like forever.

Everything went back to normal after that.

I'm currently in my study room, painting.

The title of my new art piece is 'Trauma'.

It's a flurry of dark colours illustrating the way I felt this morning.

While I paint on the canvas, my paintbrush slips from the grip of my hand and lands on the floor. I reach out for it and accidently knock over a cup which had water in it.

"Ugh."

I was upset at first but now I'm frurious.

I guess today is just not my day!

I grab a rag and clean the mess I made.

After cleaning I go to washroom to wash my hands.

I run the tap and start to wash.

"Aghhh! Ow, ow ow!"

My hand is burning real bad. I accidently turned on the hot water instead of the cool water.

I shake my hand vigorously and try to cool it off.

I go to the kitchen to fetch some ice to cool the burn.

I open the freezer and take out the ice tray. I pop a few icecubes out and they instantly melt.

"I'm out of ice as well now!"

I'm feel really irritated at the moment. Nothing is going my way and I'm having a headache now.

All of a sudden I hear my doorbell ring.

I go to open the door but no one's there.

I close the door and turn away.

The doorbell rings again.

I open the door again and just like last time, no one is there.

I close the door and hear my doorbell ring again.

I open it.

"Will you stop interfering with my life!? How many times do you need to ring that doorbell? Seriously, who do you even think you are?"

I blow my head off at the person in front of me.

"Oh."

It's Jewel.
