U gh, I feel like total crap, I think as I try to wake up from my nightmare.

That was so weird.

Wait, why does my whole body hurt?

Why does it feel like I'm lying on cold concrete?

Why can't I …

…My thoughts even feel fuzzy…

…What’s going on?

I can't open my eyes.

I continue to struggle to force my body to listen to my brain, but nothing's happening.

OH MY GOD! It wasn't a dream.

It all comes back to me.

The amazing night with Roman.

Him bringing me home.

Going outside to study with Zoey…

…being kidnapped…

I can't even cry because my body won't respond.

Maybe if I try to… my thoughts are cut off by another sharp pain in what I think is my neck before I fall back into the dark depths of the nothingness.
