Blue Mind 1

My royal eminence...

Blossom was suddenly in the middle of a beautiful and incredibly vast sunflower field. She was genuinely happy, the weather was just right and she was smiling ear to ear. She noticed some hazel eyes staring at her at a distance. She froze to the core. Her entire body was shivering. She woke up facing the dusty ceiling. It was just a dream. Quite a real one though, because she was sweaty, still shivering and struggling with heavy breaths.

"It was just a bad dream, relax. Damn."

She said a silent prayer and stepped out of the room, and on the other side her mom was stepping out of the house, shouting at her to not forget the raw bananas, sweet potatoes and yams that she keeps forgetting to pick from the market.

"Yes mom, I hear you."

        "Write them down if you have to."

"I'll remember, I promise."

         "Child, I gave birth to you, I know about your memory lapses," she said as she banged the door behind her. Blu followed her outside...

"Mom, can I talk to you for a minute.."

           "Sure, what's up?"

" I had this really weird dream last night, I was in a field, I think there was someone watching me..."

            "Blu, we'll talk about it when I come back. I have a really important day ahead of me. Plus you've been having bad dreams since you were nine, you know the drill, pray about and let it go. Now the money is on top of the fridge, you have a great day and I love you... Bye."

          "But... "

"Bye hunny" 

She got back in the house and pumped up the radio, because radio was her thing. Her entire life she was grooming herself to join that field some day. Whether as a presenter or a producer or an editor or even to have them play some of her music - because yoh, this b***h can sing like a MF. 

    She did some cleaning around the house, took a shower and headed to the market to get all that stuff her mom had sent her. She met her friend along the way and remembered it was her birthday, so she greeted her enthusiastically, 

           "Hey babygirl..." But before she could finish telling her happy birthday her friend responded 

"Babygirl my a**, I got a bone to pick with you"

(Scratch record) 

         "What?" Blu was confused as hell. 

"You have a crush on my crush, don't you?"

           "Wait wait... Who's this crush?" Blu still confused as hell. 

"Don't play dumb with me... I know you like Mr. Troublesome!"

           "Hold up, hold up. You have a crush on Mr Troublesome? short guy, wakwitu who wants 6 kids or something? LMAO!" 

Blu couldn't help but laugh a bit. 

" Oh, that's funny to you huh?" 

          "Abso-MF-lutley... Hahahaha... Girl you know I have a crush on a nigga that's stressing me TF too. I don't want your man. I don't even know why you want him yourself, but who am I to judge? Do you babygirl. Happy birthday though."

  Blu brushed that off and gently tried to walk away but as soon as she turned around, her 'friend' pulled out a silver dagger and drove it right through her back.

Blu's whole world stood still for a split second. She fell to the ground. Her eyes were slowly shutting down. All she could hear were fading sounds of footsteps until she couldn't hear anything anymore. She opened her eyes and found herself in the middle of that sunflower field again. It wasn't as cozy as it felt the last time she was around. She was laying down on the ground facing the sky. There was a storm coming at a distance. The Hazel eyes were still staring at her. She didn't move. Her eyes shut down and she woke up in her room facing the dusty ceiling again.

      "B**ch WTF is this!?!?"

She questioned herself as she was sweating and shivering and her back was in pain*

"Blu are you up yet?" Her mom shouted from the other room. "I'm leaving now."

       "Mom!"

She sprung out of bed headed towards her.

         "Mom! I had a bad dream, you have no idea..."

"I'll listen when I get back home, I have a very important day today."

    "But the dream, wait..."

"Have you prayed about it? You've been having bad dreams since you were nine, we'll talk about it when I get back. Don't forget to pick the stuff I sent you at the market, you hear me?"

       "Yes, mom...but wait..."

"Now wash your face and brighten up. It's just a bad dream." And she walked out of the house. Blu was left there staring at the door. She whispered to herself... "But it felt so real."

She snapped out of it, of course, and decided to try again.

Pumped up the radio, cleaned the house, took a shower And left for the market a little earlier this time around. She took a short cut and she bumped into 3 of her other 'friends.' They were dudes so she thought they wouldn't be about any drama, but My God was she terribly mistaken.

       "Guys, guys, you have no idea the dream I had about our 'friend' last night.

"Yeah? We tried to call you yesterday at around seven so we could hang out." One of them said.

         "Cool, and you guys can tell me how y'all been doing too. Catch up and stuff."

       "Sure, but before we go, I gotta ask, why TF are you loosing so much weight? I think you look horrible." The younger one ignorantly spoke out.

(Scratch record)

       "Excuse yourself?"

"Yeah, i mean, you still look cute and all, but you're not fat." He continued.

Blu felt offended, but if she had known any better, she wouldn't have felt that way, because that's exactly what they wanted her to feel. Offended and pissed off and embarrassed. That can never be Blu though.

       "First of all, I refuse to take weight advise from dudes that are into BBw's, while, I've never even been a size 10 before in my life. So F*** you and your distasteful opinions. I love my body. You don't have to, because it doesn't belong to you bruh. TF." She responded very defensively.

"Who does the body belong to though?"

       "What kind of question is that though?" She responded sarcastically as she turned around to face the one behind her who was so mad at whatever he was mad at. He pulled out one of those daggers doing rounds in that community, apparently, and drove it right through her stomach.

"Who does the body belong to Blu?" He repeatedly asked as he watched her fall to the ground.

      "F*** you" was her last response before she fell to the ground but didn't blackout like before. They walked away laughing, promising to claim their victory to the world.

Blu was left there trying to get up when two of her friends from like 10 years ago or something, saw her and came running. She thought they'd be willing to help but one of them, the one she was closest to in fact, was holding a baseball bat written 'my husband' and proceeded to hitting her with it.

              "B**** why TF are you hitting me?"

  "Because my ancestors  told me you have a crush on my husband" pointing at the baseball bat.

(Scratch record)

           "I don't even mean no disrespect, but that isn't even something, that looks anything close to what I'm usually interested in. Also some years ago, you were telling me that another one of our mutual friends, had a crush on your husband then. So, is accusing people of being interested in your husband via these strange dreams you have, a manifestation of your deep seated insecurities or a way of keeping your relationship spicy?"  They didn't like that her truth was contradicting their lie, and they aren't used to changing their opinions once presented with new information, so they decided she was lying and that was that.

Blu was left there to gather the bits of strength remaining in her and head home. She can go get the yams later.

She got to the house and found her other 'friend' sitting in the couch with a similar dagger placed on the table.

     "You've just gotta be f***ing with me. You too?" She was exhausted AF. Wondering why she hasn't woken up from the dream yet. But it was all a dream.

"I don't know what you mean." He responded

        "Everyone who's coming at me with that stupid dagger and weird baseball bats, seems to have a problem with me, so tell me, what's the MF problem this time?"

  He grabbed the dagger and walked towards her,

" My problem is that, you care too much even when you shouldn't. Now your gonna learn."

        "Learn what ni***? you dunno half the sh** I've been 'learning' lately."

"First of all, learn how to shut up."

       "You know what? Ha! That I will take for free, shutting up? Will happen FRFR" she responded sarcastically though she knew she was serious and her eyes were slowly giving out, she was tired.

Secondly, learn that no one cares Blu. Nobody cares."

He drove that dagger right through her heart, and whispered

"Go f*** yourself" and walked away.

She was left there bleeding and for the first time, she felt like she had lost it all...

Or had she?

Blue Mind 2 holds the clarification for that maze Blu was stuck in. It was bigger than she had thought... It was more than just a dream.

We'll also find out about that beautiful sunflower field and those strange hazel eyes hiding in the shadows.
