Katie a girl that's known as the quiet and strange girl to everyone at her school. A girl that's been on her own since a young age struggling to find her place in life. While in college more problems happen that makes her struggle with the world. No...
I sat on the couch with the lights off and just the tv on with some drama on that I decided to put on. It was quiet in the dorm. I would never really make any loud noises at all when I'm in the dorm. If you would ask the others that live in this dorm they would say the same thing. Yet I'm never around them. I would hide in my room until they all went to sleep to come out of my room. I looked at my phone seeing the numbers staring back at me. Eleven at night. I know I should be asleep but I just can't. Every time I would fall asleep I would be woken up from the nightmares that haunt my sleep. I gave up on sleep because of the nightmares. I looked at the one window seeing how it looked outside. I walked over to the window. "How I wish I was like the animals that move freely without being told to do anything. Be carefree not worrying about anything bad happening. Yet I'm trapped into this horrid world I wish I wasn't part of" I saw how the moonlight shined through the window. I sat on the window-sill looking at how everything was around me. I heard what sounded like someone walking in the dorm but didn't bother looking at who it may be. Unless my sleep-deprived mind was just playing tricks on me.
Hongjoong's POV:
I walked to the living room when I heard a noise from my room. I saw that the tv was on with some drama playing that I never saw before. I saw a phone lying on the couch. I looked over and saw her sitting on the window-sill seeing she was staring out into the night. I muted the tv than looked back at her. "Is everything alright? What has you up at such a time?" I watched as she looked at the night-sky. "Did something happen outside?" What I was taken back by was hearing her talk to me
Katie: "What is sleep when it's always disturbed just like how the daytime and nighttime are disturbed by anything around it. What is with the terms night-owl, morning-person, and tired pigeon? There's more than just to how a person's daily schedule is like. How I wish things would've been in a better path for me instead of what it's been for so long"
Hongjoong: I didn't know what to say to the words she had spoken. The girl I like so much talking in a way that took me by surprise. I walked over to her. "What is this path that has you stuck in? How can I lock away this path so that it never finds you anymore?"
Katie: "What is the path that has me trapped in? One nobody has ever gone down before. Nobody will ever be able to handle such a path. Nobody would care for the weird girl like me. Someone that doesn't stand in this world I'm trapped into" I moved on the window-sill to where my back was against the window as I faced him. The outfit he chose to sleep in for the night
Hongjoong: "Whoever has wronged you in this world you are strong enough to prove them wrong. You fought so much and look at where you are now. You worked so hard to make those who have spoken wrong of you that their words aren't true at all. I'm sure your younger self would be proud of how far you have gotten in life and is pleased with how you're doing in school"
Katie: "The younger me? The one who has seen nothing but the demons who chose to cause harm to my life. My younger self is nothing but something nobody would ever be able to handle because of what happened to me. Nobody was ready for how my life has been over the years. When people see my name only few know the true story of everything. A story that will leave people to wonder why I was treated that way. I suppose this evil hand of cards called life I was given wasn't it to win in this lifetime."
Hongjoong: "Is the person who has caused you so much pain in those reasons? Would it be better if I stayed with you for the night to make you feel better? All the others are asleep right now. I want to make the pain you feel go away. I want to help you feel better about yourself."
Katie: I saw the look in his eyes. The look I rarely ever saw from anyone in my life. I didn't know what to say or what to do this time. I put my head down pulling my legs to my chest. I put my head down so he wouldn't have to see my face. I wish I was able to talk about it but I can't because of how bad things have been for me. It scares me too much
Hongjoong: I saw how she reacted. I didn't know what to say because I didn't want anything bad to happen. I heard someone walking into the room. I looked over and saw who it was.
Seonghwa: "What are you doing up so late? You need to sleep. Did she come out of her room?"
Hongjoong: "I got this. I'll go to bed afterwards. Just trust me on this." I looked back over when I heard what sounded like a little cry. That's when I saw the tears starting to fall on her face. 'You can do this don't do anything stupid. Protect her. Now isn't the time to ask certain questions.' I sat down on the window-sill next to her. "It's going to be ok little angel. I won't let anybody hurt you I promise." I saw her look up at me a little bit.
Katie: I looked up at him seeing the look in his eyes. I didn't know what to do. I felt my heart start racing as it started to feel hard for me to breathe. I clung to him not knowing what to do. Everything was starting to feel too much for me.
Hongjoong: I was surprised to see her suddenly cling to me but I could feel her small frame shaking. "It's gonna be ok. Let's take a couple breaths slowly. Try to match my breathing. I won't let anybody hurt you. They'll have to go through me first. You're safe around me." After what felt like a couple of minutes I saw how she leaned into me once she was calm. I could see the tiredness in her eyes. Letting me know she was fighting her sleeping. "You wanna go lay upstairs and rest? Or do you want to stay downstairs and rest?" I saw her just cling to me more as she looked over to the other side of the room. Letting me know she wanted to go upstairs to sleep. "That's fine little one. We'll go sleep upstairs. You're safe with me around I promise." while walking upstairs I didn't know exactly what would be if she would be able to sleep or be up all night. "Do you want to sleep in your room or would you like to go to my room and sleep?" I heard her say something quietly but I didn't hear it. "What was that little angel?" I saw her point over to her bedroom door. "That's fine little fairy. Let's get you in bed to rest for the night." When I walked in her room I turned on the light only to see how she had her room set up.

I walked over to her bed and laid her down gently. I was really wondering who had hurt her over the years to make her so scared and fearful of this world. I looked at the alarm clock on her little stand near her bed seeing the time. I looked back over at her and saw she was asleep. I saw a plush on the floor near her bed and picked it up. I put it next to her and watched how quick she pulled it close to her. I fixed the blankets on her bed to make sure she was covered up to stay warm while she slept. I turned on the one set of fairy lights so she could have a little bit of light in-case she would wake up from sleeping while it would be dark outside still. "Sleep well little fairy. I'll see you in the morning." I walked out of the room quietly so I wouldn't wake her. I closed the door quietly and walked to my room. I laid in my bed thinking of what she had meant by what she had said. I opened my computer and looked up one thing that kept coming to my mind.
