Please don't go
•••••
"Please don't go."
"I have to."
"No you don't."
"You know I do."
"Dad's already gone, you can't go too."
Peter sighed a little, hugging his younger brother tightly. "I'll come back, I promise." He whispered.
"You can't promise that." Edmund choked out, tears in his eyes.
"Yes I can, I will come back Ed." Peter said firmly. "I swear it, I won't leave you all behind."
Edmund swallowed hard. "Just be careful." He murmured.
Peter forced a smile. "I'm always careful." He whispered.
"For my own sake I'm gonna pretend that's true." Edmund breathed, sniffing.
"You'll be okay?" Peter asked.
Edmund hesitantly nodded. "For you I will be." He replied quietly. "Don't worry about me."
"And you don't worry about me."
"That's not gonna be possible." Edmund breathed shakily, doing everything in his power to not burst into tears.
"I should go."
Edmunds heart skipped a beat. "Okay." He choked.
He'd never been so relieved when his eyes snapped open and he found himself in a dark room, curled up in bed.
It had only been a dream.
