Am I dead...?

I can't see anything. I can't hear anything. I can't feel anything. Everything is dark. What happened? Where am I? Where's Wilbur?

Drip.

What was that? I heard something! I felt something!

Drip. Drop.

There it was again! But more? What's going on. It's still dark.

Drip. Drip. Drop.

I felt it more this time. It's just a soft splash. It's cold.

Drip. Drip. Drop. Drop.

I feel it more and more each time. It spreads throughout the exterior of my body. It gets louder and louder the more it goes on.

Drip. Drip. Drip. Drop. Drop. Drop.

It's getting more intense. My senses are slowly coming back to me. I then see a small light in the distance. It's as small as a pea. I start walking towards it. It gets bigger as I get closer to it. As as big as a basketball now. I slow down, the films have told me not to walk towards the light but I can't stop. It's like a kid chasing a lollipop, they won't stop until they get it. I won't stop until I get to it. I start picking up the pace into a jog. Damn, why is it so far I'm not fit enough for this. I slow down. There it is. A huge white circle in front of me, as tall as a skyscraper. I take a breath, here goes nothing. I walk forward and the darkness around me fades and the brightness infront of me grows.

All of a sudden there was a flash faster than lightning. I open to eyes and all my senses are back. I look up to see Wilbur looking up in front of him. His hair soaked and dripping with water, it was covering his eyes so I couldn't see them. That's when I slightly looked up and realized it was pouring it down with rain. That's what I must have felt in the dark. I looked back at him, he was shirtless and carrying me? He was cradling me like a baby. He looked upset, his face was red, was he... crying? Why was he crying? Why aren't I crying? I can't feel any emotions, it's just numb. I don't feel anything besides the coldness of the rain splashing my face and the warmth of Wilburs body against mine. I looked down to see me still wearing his sweater and his shirt was on top on my legs, somewhat. My forearms are all bruised, so we're my legs. My knuckles were all red, bloody, and swollen. Then it all came back to me, what happened before I blacked out. What happen to me...

The warmth of Wilbur comforted me even though I know he doesn't like me back. Just being with him is all I need to be happy. I snuggled into his chest more and that must have startled him because he looked down in shock. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped. He either looked like he was in disbelief or like he saw a ghost. If I were to guess it was probably disbelief.

"Y-y/n?" I smiled at hearing my name leave his mouth and nodded. He stopped walking and put me down. He kneeled onto the concrete and put his hands together like he was praying and put them to his lips. He then started crying, it must have been from joy because once in awhile he would let out little chuckles. I was also sitting down next to him because it hurt to stand. It hurt to sit too but I wouldn't fall over if I was sitting. I smiled, climbed into his lap facing him, and wrapped my arms around his neck. I hugged him tighter than I ever have before. I missed his touch, his presence, his smile, I missed him.

"I can't believe your okay. You scared me." He said. I didn't respond. I just sat there with my eyes closed.

"Thank you." I said after a bit, I hugged tighter. I started tearing up with him. He saved me.

"No thank you, for coming back. I thought you died Y/n!" He pulled away and looked at me in the eyes. He looked concerned and also relieved.

"I couldn't leave without you." I wiped the tears from my eyes. Even though it didn't help any, it  was raining really hard. He pulled me in for another hug. He leaned onto his back so then we were laying down and I was on top of him. He leaned his head into the side of mine making me smile.
