1 1:1 Insomia

Margarette's POV

It's late in the evening about 7:05 PM, as i watch the clock tick from my room, i realized that it was actually getting late. I sat up from my bed and stood before i walked towards the chair and sat infront of my computer.

"Let's see here.."

I said before i opened my computer from sleep mode and browse the internet.

Actually i'm not that sleepy yet to be honest, i tried to sleep but i can't and i don't know why exactly. Usually i'm still at school this evening, i just went home earlier today and i don't know why as well.

I'm actually studying how to become a programmer at my school so yeah, i'm actually addicted to computers and machines and all. Maybe my brother Khal inspired me.

Anyway, i'm just gonna scroll down my newsfeed on Facebook until my eyes get tired or something.

I scrolled down and liked a few posts, commented on a few as well of course until this weird guy from my class chat me.

"Hey!"

I replied to him.

"What's up?"

Not to sound rude or whatever but to be honest i don't like the guy.

"Nothing, just wanna see if you'll reply or not.. So what are you doing?"

I was planning not to response from the beginning actually but i felt pity on you and why do you want to know?

"Nothing, just scrolling down my feed LOL"

I hope you won't reply.

"i see.. What a coincidence, me too! 😁"

Really now? That's the best you got? God you don't know how to talk to a girl do you? I sighed and laughed a bit before i shaked my head and log out my account. I stood up and went out of my room.

My mom and dad went out on a date this evening i almost forgot, my older brother on the other hand is on her girlfriend's house, so i guess it's just me here home alone, scary right? Well.. Not for me.

I went down stairs and opened the lights before i went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, i grabbed some glass of milk and went back to my room, i was actually kidding, it's really scary to be home alone, what makes it scarier is the sound of silence. You will never expect any sound and that's the scary part, you're afraid to find where did that sound came from or what caused it.

I went back to my room and closed the door before i turned on the television to watch some news about a hurricane destroying half of the crops of the farmers in the country side of New Mexico, i drank my milk and set the glass down on the table besides my bed.

I yawned and finally got the happiness that my plan was working, i'm finally getting tired, i looked up to the clock and saw it's already 7:30 PM.

I smiled and gently lay down on my bed while the TV is still on. I feel my eyes are slowly getting heavy, anytime soon i'll be asleep, everything was slowly getting quiet even though my TV is still on, my eyes were finally closed and i was finally asleep until something happened.

A loud sound from outside my room woke me up, i gasped and quickly sat up before i grabbed the remote of the TV. "Shit!" i shouted because it startled me of course, i'm having thoughts about checking it.

Then i gently set the remote down and noticed that the TV is off and my glass of milk was not on the table.

"That's odd.. I could've sworn i left the TV on.." i said to myself before i sat up from my bed and checked my phone if my mother texted me, i noticed that the time in my phone is back at 7:05 PM.

"Weird.." i said before i check the clock inside my room and saw it's really 7:05 PM.

I was surprised and creeped out at the same time before i chatted someone on my phone, luckily the Wi-fi's on, i could entertain myself to scare off my fear.

I chatted one of my friends, Patricia who lives a few blocks away from us.

"Hey, Pat..you still awake?"

I turned off my phone and sighed before it rang, i checked it and she already replied.

"Heyyyyahhh Marge.. What's up?"

I looked at the clock and saw it's 7:07 PM and having second thoughts about asking what time it is, of course it'll be weird because i have a clock here in my room but still. It's bothering me.

"Can i ask something?"

"Sure.. What is it?"

I was about to ask her the time but that weird guy from my class chat me again. I accidentally opened our conversation and viewed his message.

"Crap!" I exclaimed but i noticed something that our past conversation was not there.

He said Hi, but i didn't replied i asked Patricia what time it is, i turned off my phone and set it down on my table before i stood up and went outside my room again.

I walked down stairs, i almost forgot the loud sound earlier that woke me up, it sounds like someone dropped a heavy object or box or something, i'm starting to think like there's a robber inside our house or it's just my imagination playing with me.

I went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator again and took out the milk, it creeped me out again because it felt like the milk hasn't been touched by someone because it's still full.

I didn't bother but i poured a lot in my glass and went back up to my room, i left the milk on the counter and the refrigerator door open.

I rushed upstairs and closed the door of my room.

I set down the glass of milk down on my table and checked my phone and saw i have two unread messages from Patricia and from that guy.

I opened Patricia's chat first and she replied 'it's 7:10 PM why?'

I looked at my clock and saw it's 7:30 PM. She must've replied when i was downstairs, next i opened the other chat from the guy who's weirding me out.

"busy?"

He asked, i then replied.

"Sorry.. Something happened here."

I didn't know why i replied that, It'll eventually start a conversation but i don't really care about that right now. I need something to get my mind out of here.

"Why? What's wrong? Do you want me to call the police?"

"What, no! It's just that someone dropped something on the house."

I replied as fast as i could before he do something.

"Ohh... I thought it was an emergency."

I didn't bother replying to his message i just turned off the Wi-Fi on my phone and texted my parents.

"Hey mom. When are you guys coming home?"

I sighed and played some Queen music on my phone luckily the first song was Bohemian Rhapsody, it'll help me relax.

I reached for my glass of milk and drank half of it before i lay down again.

I waited for my mom's reply, i looked at the clock again and saw it's 7:36 PM.

It appears nothing's wrong with the clock, maybe i should just get some rest. Maybe i'm just tired that my brain is playing tricks on me. I closed my eyes and rest for awhile but what's weird is that sound from earlier it happened again.

I sat up quickly as possible because the sound is getting more louder and appears to be getting closer to my room. I was about to grab my phone that's on my bed beside me but i was surprised that it was not there.

I looked at the table and saw my phone i grabbed it but i noticed that the glass of milk was not there again, i was starting to get thoughts about something was here, playing tricks on me.

I felt my hands are shaking as i was about to check my phone but then i was shocked and almost dropped my phone as i saw it was 7:05 PM again.

"No, no.. This can't be!" i said to myself as i stood up and browse my messenger to find our conversation of Patricia.

And i was surprised it was not there as well as the other conversation i had with that guy from my class.

"Oh My God! What's happening?!" i almost yelled out and brushed up my hair, i gently set down my phone on my table and sat down on my bed.

"I need to get out of here.." i whispered to myself before i grabbed my phone again and chatted Patricia.

"Heyy, can i come at your place?"

I gulped and quickly went to my closet, i grabbed a black hoodie before my phone rang, i quickly checked it and saw it was Patricia.

"Sure.. What's wrong? Parents arguing again?"

"Thanks Tricia.. I'll explain it when i get there."

I turned off my phone and put it on the pockets of my denim shorts. I put on my hoodie and went out from my room. I rushed downstairs and looked at the kitchen and saw that the refrigerator door was closed and the milk carton was not on the counter.

"What is happening.." i whispered before i went outside and quickly walked towards the streets. I reached down to my phone and opened it.

"Tricia.. I'm on my way."

I chatted her but before i put away my phone it rang again, i opened it and saw a message from that fucking guy again.

"Heyyyyy!"

I ignored him and put my phone back in my pockets.

Minutes later, i've reached Patricia's house and knocked on the door. "Tricia?!" i yelled while knocking.

Tricia opened the door and looked at me a little worried. "Hey.." she greeted me.

I smiled at her and bit my lips. "Hope i wasn't disturbing you this evening.." i said.

"No, not at all.. Come in" she said before i went inside her house and walked towards the living room with her. I quickly looked at the clock and saw it's 7:18 PM.

"Can i get you something Marge? Some.. Hot coco or milk or something to drink?" she asked as i sat down on the couch.

"Just.. Water.. Water's fine." i replied before she smiled and went to the kitchen.

"So.. Mind telling me what happened?" she yelled as she went towards the kitchen.

"Trish.. I think i'm hallucinating or something..." i replied as i looked down on my shoes. "i think... I'm .. I don't know.. Crazy.." i said.

"How come?" she asked as she went back to the living room holding a glass of water.

"Well.. It's hard to explain because.. I was.. Watching TV earlier and.. This weird thing happened.. I fell asleep.." i said then i held the glass of water and drank it.

"then?" she asked as she sat down next to me.

"but.. Before i went to bed i could've sworn it's 7:30 PM then after i closed my eyes some weird noise occured outside my room, i woke up and saw it's 7:05 PM again." i said as i looked at her, waiting for her response ans reaction.

"Okay.. That's a little weird i gotta say.." she replied with a little surprised face.

"that's not all.. What's weird is that it happened the second time i fell asleep and the noise was getting louder and closer.. All that i've done in the past minutes were undone after i wake up from the sound.." i said as i set down the glass of water on the table. "Even our conversation on messenger was deleted.. " i added.

"Okay, assuming that i believed you, which i do.. But don't you think it's just your imagination? Are you sure about that?" she asked me, looks like she doesn't believe me at all.

"What?! You think i'm joking? Don't you remember our conversation earlier before i asked if i could come here?" i asked a little bit mad, looks like she's pranking me or something.

"Margarette.. You just need some sleep.." she replied as she put a hand on my shoulder. "you know i don't think you believe me.." i replied but i can't believe i told her that.

"Marge.. Relax." she said as i stood up and shaked my head. "Sorry, Trish but i need to go." i replied before i went towards the door. "Marge.." she called but i didn't stop, i just turned the door knob and went outside their house.
