‘She isn't breathing!!’ A decisive voice echoed within those four walls of Hospital.

No... This couldn’t happen. Everything was in a rush and my vision was blurry. My skin was shivering with fear as the corridor was filled with muffled panic cries. I couldn't comprehend even though I knew what was happening it was still a mess.

‘Start the Defibrillator!’

I was frozen to the ground and couldn't breathe as those words hit my eardrums.

‘1, 2 clear!’ Someone shouted and my heart hammered as it'd come out any second from my chest.

My head was hurting, stop please!

‘1, 2 clear!’ The constant beep echoed within those walls of corridor alerted my dead mind before It was all silence and that’s when reality hit me like a cyclone.

‘Time of death 9:45PM,’ A loud choked came out of her sister’s throat as more gasps filled the air.

She couldn't die.

Suddenly I could feel the tension. I could see the stares from darkness around me. The creep started to crawl in my bones. The shiver I felt, escalated my heartbeat that it was suffocating me. Loud footsteps rushed towards me.

"YOU DID IT!!" She screamed and choked me.

I Jolted up with my eyes opened wide and scrutinized my surrounding but sighed as I saw those familiar walls of my room, drowned under moonlight. Looking down I noticed my whole body was dripping in cold sweat. A sudden gush of air from the open window gave me more unsettling feeling. The guilt of waking up each day was still creeping me out.

She would've been here with us but who to tell the truth about what happened that night when everyone left you in the dark sea to sink and suffocate till you accept it in the deepness of guilt.

When the one person out of all you thought would be there for you, blamed you each day, for who your heart used to beat crazily but now it was skipping beats cause of fear as if someone's piercing needles through your burning skin.

Solitude in these four walls of guilt was eating me up every second.

Everything was normal that day, but night engulfed us in it, and it became our horrid nightmare so silently that we didn't know what was coming. It was silence before storm which made my life turned completely dead inside.

You know when it feels like the ground is getting heavier for you. As if the whole world turns against you when it was "Us" against them. Exactly.

I wiped my tears which were unknowingly streaming down my cheeks with my shaking hands. The clock on my side table was showing 4:10 AM. I sighed deeply with closed eyes before fell back on my bed and wiped the beads of sweat away from my forehead.

Another night, another same nightmare.

The past that happened in junior high was still haunting me and since then I always woke up like this. No one knew about them but dad who got to see me one night panicked, where I was screaming the same words of my innocence, which still rang in my ear, the words of truth.

'I didn't do it.'

It had been almost a year, but I wouldn't let it take over me anymore. I had to come out of these shadows.

"Tomorrow it's a new day Aria," I said to myself in whisper voice, reassuring which I was not too sure also. ‘‘It’s going to be alright."

Let's face it.
