I awake to sun shining bright in my eyes, and arms wrapped around my waist. I turn my head and see Tyler, eyes closed, sleeping beside me. Welp we fell alseep at his house again, but at least this time we both have our clothes on.
I strech my arms and get up , or at least try too. Tylers.arms are still tightly around me.  I sigh and flop back down. I just lay and watch Tyler sleep. He looks a lot younger and without as much worry in his sleep. I wish he could be like that when he wasnt sleeping....
I twist some of the remaining shadows around my fingers. I hear it. The Whisper.
"You want to help him?"  Whisper asks me .
"Yes."
"Why? I have never seen someone less deserving of help then he. You know who he has killed?" Whisper asks.
"Yes. But he knows about me. He still cares for me. And he-he can see me...." I say sadly.
"I can help you remove this monster inside of him, but it won't be simple. It will take a while too."
"Yes help me. I'll wait, just tell me what to do."
"Nothing right now, just wait." Then Whisper is gone. Without a sound his shadow leaves the room, just as quietly as it came.
Tyler stors beside me.
"Who were you talking too?" He asks me opening his eyes.
"No one." It wasn't a lie.
"Oh. Well we best get up before we have a repeat of a few days ago." He says sitting up .
I too stand up, grabbing my clothes from yesterday.
"You can shower if you want." He says.
"Oh, thanks. I'll make it quick." I say with a smile before heading into his bathroom. I start the shower and well its warming up I take of my clothes.i fold them and then glance in the mirror. The girl I see looks nothing like me.
She has a smile on her face, barley any dark circles under her eyes. You can still see her ribs, they are less prominent though, and some of the bruises are starting to fade.
I step into the steaming warm water and let it soak through my hair.  This boy has helped me in more ways then I ever think he will know. I look for some shampoo and all I find is guys. I roll my eyes.
Guess I'll have to go around smelling like a guy for the rest of the day. Oh well, what did I expect? This is a house full of only guys.
I leave the shower reluctantly. I slip on my clothes and run a brush through my hair before leaving the bathroom. Tyler is sitting on his bed on his phone. I clear my throat.
"Your turn tyler." I say.
"Okay. Then we can grab some breakfast then I'll drop you off at school." He then heads into the bathroom not waiting for my answer. 
I roll my eyes and head downstairs, deciding to make some sausage and gravy. By the time Tyler gets out it is done and I am just serving myself some.
"You can cook?" He asks looking warily at the food.
"Yes ty. I promise its not poisoned." I sit down and start eating. Tyler grabs some and sits down across from me. I am half way through my breakfast when I hear footsteps. I look up and see tylers father walking into the kitchen. He looks down at me and sighs.
"You know what? I'm just going to leave this be. Who made the grub?" He asks walking over to get some.
"I did." I say barley above a whisper.
"Oh. You know you are probably the most normal nevermore kid I've seen. Or at least you seem normal." He says to me.
I just nod and finish my food. Tyler stands up too and puts away the dirty dishes.
"I'm going to work now dad, see you." He says as we head too the door.
"Okay. See you later."
We leave the house and Tyler drives his truck to the school. I groan when I see all the teens out already.
"I hate it here." I mumble.
"I know, but at least try to finish your education." Ty says to me as I get out. I laugh a hollow laugh.
"I have. No one remebrs though."
"I will. See you later shadow."
"See ya ty." I say before closing the door and heading into the school.
