Nightmare
*Zhai*
We started talking. Conversing. Or so it seemed. In the middle of our conversation I started getting a vivid feel of my eyes being closed. But that can't be? I'm awake and talking to Daniel. But sure enough once i forced my eyes completely open I was shown a seen that was nothing like I was in prior. My room a mess. Cal still nowhere to be found. My phone right beside me. But no Daniel, and no conversation. A dream that I so wanted to be a nightmare. Dreams hold meaning, a purpose, a causation, though nightmares do also hold the concept of fear, and suspiciousness. Either way Daniel was taking up space in my head and I couldn't blame it on the off balance of the alcohol that had already seem to leave my system.
It was harsh.
Like a wave all of my emotions kept hitting me and coming to me at a time where I was suppose to be asleep. Unconscious. Why at such a random time. Why at a time where I was suppose to be guarded. And why at a time after I had so desperately convinced myself I had moved on from. Questions pouring inside my head that made me feel like I was drowning. Dying. Like Im a body in a channel during a Tsunami. My head starts to spin and my stomach starts to turn as I feel my safe space being flooded with harm. And stupidly enough I pick up the phone to go directly to the source of all of my insanity.
" Can you come over" I text hoping, praying he even recognizes my number as it's been a minute since I've used it.
I waited. Seconds. Minutes. An hour and no response until I heard my phone ping and my lock screen pops up.
" I'm outside" Is all it reads and I can't help but give a faint smile.
I open to door for him and there he stands tall with his jaw clenched, his eyes seemingly drained. Yet calm and nonchalant.
" What's wrong?" I ask him as if he came over here on a limb.
" Zhai what time is it" He asks as if I don't know. Defensiveness starts to take place and I don't know if it's rightful.
".. I don't know"
"2:07
2:07 in the morning. So I'm sorry if i'm not entirely cheery"
" You didn't have to come over"
" You didn't have to text me" Defensive overwhelms his body too"
" About?"
" I don't know. It's been a fucked night. First I'm here talking to you about your dad leaving, next it's all a dream and I wake up miserable"
" You had a bad dream and you think it's relevant to call me" He said as if i shouldn't have called. I shouldn't.
" ... Guess not"
