This was a terrible decision.  Oh god, it was looking at me, right at me! I took my phone off of my nightstand and dialed Sarah's number.
"Hello?" A sleepy voice answered.
"Sarah?"
"Yeah?"
"It's looking at me," I whispered, now hiding under my comforter.
"Haley, it's two a.m., what are you talking about?"
"Captain Bubbles Von Squishy," I peeked out from my shelter at the fish.  "He. Is. Watching. Me."
Sarah sighed. "And tell me again why you got a goldfish when you're afraid of fish?"
"I thought it would help me get over my fear… but I believe it's just making it worse."
"Yeah, I agree," she yawns. "Okay, I'm going back to sleep. You have fun with Captain Bubbles."
I groan inwardly. "Nighty-night. I'm sleeping on the couch tonight."
She laughs. "Night."
I set my phone back in its spot next to my bed.  In the darkness, I could make out the fish on my dresser, swimming around, watching me. Mocking me. There's no way I was going to be able to sleep with that damn thing staring at me all night.
Wrapping my blanket around myself like a cocoon, I stood and slowly walked out of my room towards the couch.
