Chapter Two: In the House
Rae’s eyes snapped open, a dull ache radiating from her head down through her body. She lifted a hand and rubbed her eyes. It was all a fucked up dream. The pressure on her eyelids made the world flash a bright red as she opened them and focused. Pink. Rae squinted in an attempt to clear her view of the hue, but it remained. She took in a deep breath, letting her eyes wander around the room. The walls were covered in pink and silver stripes, with a zig-zag design in the darker sections. The carpet was pink, along with the duvet under her, and a teal couch sat along the wall. Shit, not the hospital. She rolled over to face the window. Low light came in between the curtains. Raining? Evening? She was disoriented. Rae slowly sat up, the pain in her head accentuated by the change in position. She blinked slowly before settling her eyes on picture frames full of smiling faces beside the bed. Chloe. It was all real. Rae rolled her eyes closed, a deep sense of loss re-settling on her chest like a weight. Tix. She opened her eyes and reached to turn on the bedside lamp. The ribbed plastic switch was rough against her skin. Rae pinched it between her fingers and rotated it twice. Nothing happened. She repeated the exercise with the same result. “Great.”
