Leti hadn't slept a wink and she waited as late as she could, just past daylight before finally breaking and walking through the city to the doctor's home. She felt dreadful doing so in spite of her terror. He had just given her his address, and for a party at that, and here she came bothering him...but she didn't know what else to do. Her feet dragged, because she knew she was likely to walk herself right out of that party invite she'd so looked forward to, but there was nothing for it.

Perhaps she should've told her brother of the trouble she was having, but that just didn't feel right. She fussed with the ends of her auburn hair as she slowly approached the ground home, a pit growing in her stomach.

There was simply nothing to do but to get it done with she told herself firmly and lifted the heavy brass knocker letting it fall several times.
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed.
I get along with the voices inside of my head.
