Possessed- RODRIGO IS STILL ALIVE (Story)-7

 'What on earth happened to you?' bellowed mom.

I was silent. I had no explanation.

'We are concerned about you Rodrigo. We are your well wishers. Talk to us.'

'He started the fight,' I stammered.

'So you made his face bled like hell,' shouted mom sarcastically.

'He was twice as strong you. Don't you think before picking up a fight,' scolded Uncle John.

I couldn't handle it anymore. 

'You care for me? So where are you guys all the day. No one is home at morning. You come back late at night. Do you really have time to care for me,' words came out abruptly from my mouth.

'We work day and night for you,' explained mom.

'When do you have time for me?'

'We are always there for you?'

'Seriously?' I rolled my eyes and went into my room. I slammed the door behind me.

'It's not so like him. He has changed so much,' I heard Uncle John.

'Maybe it's our fault. He is feeling lonely. I am trying everything to fill his dad's place,' sobbed Mrs. Baker.

'It's not you fault,' Uncle John tried to calm her down.

I moved away from the door and lied on the bed. All the anger was vanished. I felt light and my eyes turned really heavy. I didn't sleep from past few days at all. I closed my eyes and allowed my body to relax. 

'You killed me! What was my fault in it?' said a voice in my head. 'I deserved a future. It's my body you have high jacked. I want it back.'

I saw Rodrigo standing in front of me. How is this even possible. 

'I want my body back,' he said continuously and was coming towards me. He grabbed mt neck. 'I'll kill you like you killed me.'

I shouted in horror and woke up drenched in sweat. I saw Mr. Baker sitting beside me with an ice pack.

'Are you okay?' she said in a concerned voice. She has bandaged my wounds.

'What are you doing here?'

'You are having a high fever,' proclaimed Mrs. Baker.

'I'm okay you should go back to sleep.'

'Why did you scream?'

'I had a nightmare.'

'We should go to a psychiatrist tomorrow.'

I had no strength to argue so I nodded. She kissed me on my forehead and was about to leave.'

'Mom,' I stopped her. She looked at me, 'I'm sorry for my behavior tonight. I don't know what is happening to me.'

She came towards me and hugged me tight, 'Everything will be fine. I love you more than anything.'

Her touch made me feel safe. I felt everything will be normal now. I felt better. 

'Your temperature is coming down,' she said astonishingly. 'Sleep well honey.'

I lied back and closed my eyes. Relaxed for the first time. Soon sleep took over my body.

                                                                              ***

I woke up late next day. My face was still hurting but I felt a lot better from inside. It was my fate that didn't like me happy.

'You look quite happy in my body,' said Rodrigo in front of me. So it wasn't a dream, he is still alive...
