The Chosen.

Fuck.

I lie awake in my room, listening to the soft snores that i know come from Mia as she peacefully sleeps a few doors down from me. The moonlight cascades down into my room from the very small window that hovers above my bed.

I reminisce of the times when i'd lie awake with my baby sister. I knew my parents needed sleep so i never minded getting up and soothing her back to sleep. My sweet little Willow, i will find my way back to you. I promise.

"Hey." A whisper from the door way startles me.

My head raises slightly from the pillow as the moonlight illuminates Tom who stands in the door way.

"Hey baby." I whisper back smiling at the sight of him. "Can't sleep?" I ask. He shakes his head no, causing his dreads to fall from his shoulder.

I lift my covers up, inviting him to crawl into my bed. It doesn't surprise me he can't sleep either, i think we're both so used to falling asleep in each others arms.

His warm body embraces mine as he slides into the white sheets of my little twin sized bed. His arm wraps itself snugly around my waist pulling me closer to him.

"I missed you." He whispers softly to me.

"I missed you more... even though i never left you." I whisper back as i smile at him.

He leans forward, his eyes darting from mine to my lips. I close my eyes as he grazes his lips against mine before fully diving in and pushing himself into me. His hand begins to grip my waist as he pushes his chest deeper into mine.

My heart beats for him as I slide my hand around his neck and pull him closer. I had been experiencing too many new things today, it felt so good to feel his familiar touch on my body.

Suddenly, he pulls away.

"Promise me." He asks, hovering slightly over me in bed. His eyes watching mine as i study his very serious expression.

Still slightly out of breath from our kiss, i ask, "Promise you what?"

"Promise me you'll never leave me." He whispers.

Whether or not these were the events at hand my answer would have still been the same, I love him. Of course i would never even think about leaving him.

"I promise, I will never leave you." I pull my hand out from under the covers to reveal my pinky that i stick out in front of him. He smiles and looks into my eyes as we both remember the day when we pinky promised to never leave the world we once thought was reality, shortly after Bill had passed.

Diving right back into our kiss, he pushes himself back into me. I smile into our kiss as our breathing speeds up at exactly the same pace. Tom's hand braces itself around my throat as his tongue begins to enter my mouth.

"Mmm." I murmur into his mouth. God, i missed Bills touch. I mean... Tom.

Fuck.
