"Oliver?..." She asked. "don't worry I'm right behind you" I say in a soft voice as she opens the door to her house. Okay I'm not going to lie but she has a nice butt, its a good thing she can't see me staring...oh god I'm a creeper...

I follow her into her room. She sits down and I sit next to her, we're facing each other. "Do you think I'll ever be able to see you?..like I mean. For you to ever become alive again?" I saw the hopefulness in her dark green eyes. I sighed and muttered "Honestly I don't know Iris." She looked down and nodded, I muttered "No matter what happens. I'll always be here for you" she smiled as I touched her hair softly.

We watched Beetlejuice and about halfway though the movie she fell asleep. I laid down next to her and covered her up. I stroked her cheek and kissed it. I moved hair away from her face. She said my name in her sleep then turned. I laid down on my back and sighed softly, I began thinking about me and her, if I were alive, maybe she was the kind of girl that would make me want to be a better person, cause right now she's the reason I want to live again. Maybe we could both help each other better then. I smile a tiny bit as I close my eyes and continue on with my thoughts.

~IrisPOV~

I wake up in the middle of the night. "Oliver?...." As if I could see, I look around for him. "I'm still here" I hear him faintly say. I instantly smile and cover up and try to go back to sleep, I toss and turn for what seems like hours till I hear him chuckle, I sigh and turn facing him. "I can't sleep.." I laugh a little, I feel the back of my hair get cold as he starts petting and stroking my hair. Then he begins to sing in what I swear is the most beautiful voice ever.

Can you hear the silence, can you see the dark?
Can you fix the broken? Can you feel, can you feel my heart?
Can you help the hopeless? Well I'm begging on my knees
Can you save my bastard soul?
Will you wait for me
I'm sorry, brothers
So sorry, lover
Forgive me, father
I love you, mother
Can you hear the silence? can you see the dark?
Can you feel my heart?

I'm scared to get close and I hate being alone
I long for that feeling to not feel at all
The higher I get the lower I'll sink,
I can't drown my demons they know how to swim...

And just like that I fell asleep to his voice. That's when I had the dream and woke up crying only hours later.
