(LEWIS' POV)
AK fell asleep next to me but I don't know when they fell asleep because I was… watching the movie? No, how long was it? Nearly two hours? That definitely didn't feel like two hours… which scares me. What was I doing during that time? I honestly can't even really remember the movie now that I think about it… But then what was I doing?
Oh no. This wasn’t good… Come on, he's been asleep for months and he thinks now is the time to wake up!? Oh no… This is really bad.
What the hell am I gonna do if he fully wakes up?
Was this because AK mentioned that game mode? I really hope not, that wouldn’t be good at all if just the mentioning of it causes him to try waking up. Okay, well, what I’m gonna have to do is not focus on it too much and just ignore the thought of him still existing.
I don’t think he’d hurt AK. But he’s highly unpredictable and impulsive at times. One moment he could be fine with someone or something and then the next moment he’s a wanted criminal. If he never got away with the things he did, that is. I don’t know how he does it, he killed someone and yet we got away with it? I say “we” because if he gets caught then I get caught. Same body, same criminal record. Not that I wanted to do any of these things in the first place…
There is something odd he does though and I know why he does it. He did when he… killed that poor random person at Alton Towers a few months ago… For some reason he like… comforted them…? I think he does it to taunt people, make them feel worse or give them some false sense of hope… It's awful.
I need to stop thinking about him.
Just don’t think about him. That’s all I have to do. Forget about him. That’s what I have to do.
…
A voice similar to mine laughed.
“It’s not that easy to forget, Lewis.”
My eyes widened. No, this can’t be happening. Why did he decide now was a good time!? This had to have been the worst time possible for him to wake up, I mean come on, was that all it took for him to wake up? A simple little mention of something?
That is really not good at all…
Oh god. I… I’m so tired… I can’t fall asleep though, I can’t let him wake up. I don’t want us to hurt anyone else, one was enough.
“Not enough.”
HE IS WAKING UP.
Just forget about him. Please, why can’t my brain focus on something else!?
Tears were falling from my eyes, I grabbed the remote for the TV and put on some random show in an attempt at distracting myself. Trying so hard to not focus on the fact that my nightmare was waking up once more. I can’t let him wake up. He can’t do anything right, all he does is wrong and never right. He doesn’t understand!
“I do understand but it’s more fun to do wrong than to do right.”
I was ignoring him. That would work, right? I looked at AK who was sitting in the corner of the sofa, they were sleeping so, so peacefully. While still ignoring the mess that was happening in my own mind, I stood up from the sofa and gently lifted them up from where they sat. I didn't want them to be right next to me while this was happening, so I carried them to their new bedroom and tucked them into bed, giving them a very quick little kiss on the forehead. They were still asleep so I quietly left the room, shutting the door behind me, and made it back to the living area.
Sitting back down on the sofa, I stared at whatever show I had put on the TV. I just needed a distraction at this point, so I focused on the most random details ever. Such as: the colors of the objects and what they were, the hair color and eye color of the characters, what time of day it was, the editing, and so much more. I was just desperate but it was actually helping.
The number one thing was that I couldn't fall asleep. If I fell asleep now then the chances of me waking up as Lewis were very low.
As long as he stayed asleep and I stayed awake, everything would be fine…
…
I was so tired though… Tears kept falling from my face. I wouldn't let Darko wake up.
But he was… talking to me…
Was it too late?
I couldn't stop myself from closing my eyes for just a moment, completely forgetting my previous attempts at distracting myself.
...
And that was a very big mistake. :)
