Chapter 56 DREAM

• M E R E D I T H
• I was in the middle of the night when I abruptly woke up from sleep and got out of bed, only to discover that it was almost one in the morning.I tried to listen and eventually thought that As I left my bedroom, I pondered whether they had passed out drunk and passed out on the floor or the couch. Thad wasn't there as soon as I went downstairs to check the living room where I found Lawrence as usual wasted on the big couch. As usual, even when I was younger, my own father was dozing off in the recliner when I turned to look at him. Lawrence was snoring in his sleep, so I picked up the blanket that was on the floor and covered my dad with it.
• I looked around the living room and thought that maybe Thad had gone home since he was no longer around but then the microwave from the kitchen was making a noise. Primarily, I figured that dad or Lawrence must have forgotten about heating something so eventually I headed towards the kitchen to get it out, just in case. It smelled like popcorn as I was close to the kitchen and as soon as I had gotten close, I almost screamed in a complete fright, feeling as if my heart was going to jump out from my chest, as soon as I saw someone’s silhouette standing from the other side of the kitchen counter.
