CHAPTER THIRTEEN

The plastic bag turned out not to be necessary since I didn't fall asleep that night. How could anyone sleep if they had just been told that the monsters you believed in when you were little were actually real? That the shadows in the closet were actually waiting for you. And that you were supposed to go around vanquishing them.

I almost didn't make it to class in the morning but the alternative of staying home and letting my thoughts drive me crazy didn't appeal to me, so I decided class was a good way to distract myself.

I left the apartment before Sarah woke up. She had late classes on Mondays and I was relieved that I wouldn't have to face her. She would know automatically that something was wrong, beyond what had happened this past weekend. I had been a sight for sore eyes this morning. There were dark circles under my eyes and my pale face seemed even paler. My eyes look glazed, a combination of fatigue and resignation. Resignation that the life I knew, as broken as it had been in some respects, was no longer mine.

Tossing and turning last night, I realized I had two options. I could ignore everything and pretend that the phone call with my aunt had never happened and continue living my life as normally as I could. For as long as I could. Or I could decide to take an active role in trying to save the people in my visions. I wasn't sure about the latter path because this meant I really accepted that these vardogers were real. But I wasn't sure if I could just ignore everything either. A part of me knew that this was all real. It recognized the truth the instant my aunt had spoken it.

More importantly, I didn't want to take the chance of not accepting it and something happening to Simon. I could never live with myself then. I also had a feeling that if I just ignored it, I would slowly go crazy. I still wasn't sure which was the better alternative.

Trudging to class, it felt surreal that only a couple of days ago I had been happily planning Jenny's birthday party. I was afraid that the normalcy of my life that I had been able to cultivate, despite my visions, was going to be a thing of the past.

I tried to clear my head as I crossed the quad. My first class of the day was a marketing class, and it was mercifully a lecture. I could just sit there and not have to participate. Someone fell into step beside me and I looked up, inwardly groaning. The last person I needed to deal with right now was Samantha. I felt instantly drabber when I saw her red lips and pink cheeks ruddy from the cold. She looked vivacious and I'm sure I looked like a limp mop in comparison.

"Hi Samantha," I said, as she continued to walk next to me not saying a word.
