AN INVISIBLE PERSON

My phone blinked suddenly, there was a message from an unknown number.

"Are you alright? Is it that nightmare again?"

'What the…..' I jumped out of my bed, threw my phone over the bed and looked around my dark room.

'' Who the hell was that? '' I tiptoed slowly to the sidewall and switched on the lights to see if there is anyone inside my room .There was none in  the room.

I walked towards my bed, when my phone blinked again.I grabbed it and checked the message that popped up, "Don't look for me in your room.Just calm down.I am your well wisher." it said.

My trembling fingers typed ,'' Who the hell are you and how do you know what I'm doing here inside my room ? " 

' Don't be scared. I care for you. I've been there for you every single time you become breathless because of this nightmare, for a decade! '

" What...A….decade…."  I plopped on my bed in shock, gulping in fear of being watched for ten years, my every action inside the room ,my privacy ,all of it being watched, my body shivered by the thought. I looked around my room, all the nooks and corners to find any kind of device that was installed or hidden somewhereto monitor me .But I failed.

" What the hell is happening around me? I should tell mom...…No…she wouldn't care! " I sighed.

' I understand your fear, but it's for your own protection and I've never taken advantage of the situation. Be at ease!' another message popped.

" You must be crazy or devious to do this after a decade. Why would you suddenly text me now of all these years, what do you want? And tell me who you are and your reason for revealing the secret? "

' You're such a smart one, though I have hidden intentions and my sudden texting is to console you as I can't do things that'll make your friends give you a helping hand now at this moment. I didn't want to disturb anyone's sleep. You may ask I could've texted you every night when you had nightmares ,but I'm sorry I couldn't sleep and I was awake only today and heard your wailing. ' So calm down , there are many people around you who care for you than those who wants to take you down. Sleep well.'

I breathed heavily,my eyes scanning the whole room and my eyes ended on my phone.

There were no messages, not even those I read as if it wasn't there at all. I started sweating," Was it a dream, am I hallucinating? I'm sure I did receive those messages and how could they just disappear? " my eyes widened and I realized ,there's nothing in my room ,but my phone was the device , I've been using for 10 yrs. A gift from my mom. I couldn't let go of the only gift she gave me.

But…..I should text Nate and find out about my phone...No…... .All my actions are being watched through this phone ,I can't let anyone know my next move. I should stay calm and find a way.I tossed my phone on the side table and leaned on the bed.

'It's already 4 a.m and I can't sleep now.' I rolled over.

"I just decided to know about my past and here I've got another thing to look into ! Why do I have to deal with such hardships in my life? What did I do, to deserve this nightmare life? "

The sudden ring of my phone woke me up. I rubbed my eyes ,looked at the phone and grabbed it.

I answered, " Hello…" half asleep.

'Hey ... .Good morning….' said that magnetic voice.

"Mmph ... .Who's this..? "

' You didn't save my number? Here I thought, you liked me…Tch ... .my heart hurts…..'

I squinted my eyes and looked at the screen ,it said Kai ,"Hey…Kai…I'm sleepy ... .Can we…talk later? " I mumbled.

" What….It's past 9 a.m and you agreed to meet me at 10 in the morning and you are still sleepy? " he screamed.

'Whoa…come on ... .don't act like you're my boyfriend !' I said in a sleepy irritated tone, my eyes widened realizing what I uttered ,drifting off all the sleepiness I felt, blood flushed through my skin reddening my face.

"I…Do you…." he stuttered as if he saw my flustered cheeks.

'It's 10 right? I will be there !' I hung up on him and moved out of my bed to the washroom to shower.
