Bad dreams

That night the girls sat in their beds Nya listening to music and reading a love novel while Nadira used her sketch of amir as reference for the one she was doing on the canvas before her. She plans on doing oil paints with it. There had been lots of talks and giggles about him having been the model. They talked of chase and how sweet he was and their teachers and the semester to come. They called their grandmother and made sure she was good.
They wondered out loud if either boy like either girl. And decided fate would decide. They settled into their beds and talked and giggled. Before drifting to sleep.

she was upsidedown and she was screaming..the smell of smoke choked the air around her and she could feel her eyes burning with tears. She tugged on her seat belt but couldn't get it free. She looked around desperately Nya was upsidedown in her seat her hair hiding her face as she dangled. She could see the back of her dad's head. Red dripped down from somewhere she couldn't see. His hands lay limp on the roof of the car. Her mother was not in her seat she couldn't see her. Fear gripped her and she tried to call to her father but no sound came out.."daddy?...daddy!!" Nothing. " Daddy! Daddy!"

"DADDY!!!" Nadira woke with a scream her sister was next to her smoothing her hair and rocking her and whispering soft nothings. She held on to her and wept. " The dream again?" Nya asked. She nodded and sat back whipping her face. " Sometimes I think ur lucky you don't remember. " Nya didn't remember most of their childhood. She said it was like a door just slammed shut and locked. " I would give anything to remember." She said sadly. The girls grew quite then and sank down in the bed together both staring at the dark ceiling untill they fell asleep.
