5 day. That's how long it's been since Levi has been able to sleep. So far he's been able to hide it from his roommate, but it's been getting more difficult.Levi lie awake for the 5th night in a row. He tried to close his eyes and pretend to sleep, fake it 'till you make it. He heard the small rustling of his roommate as he slept. Sleep. How Levi wished for that.
He heard some more rustling and then his roommate sat up. Look looked over at Mark and closed his eyes again after a second.
"Did I wake you? Sorry, I just need to use the bathroom." Mark said standing up.
"No it's fine, I've been up." Levi answered them regretted saying how long he's been awake for.
"Why? It's nearly two in the morning!" Mark asked, shocked.
"I don't know, couldn't sleep I guess." Levi responded then rolled over. He slowed his breathing as he heard Mark come back from the bathroom.
"Levi?" Mark called into the darkness. When Levi didn't respond, he assumed Levi had fallen asleep. Mark sighed in relief before going back to bed.
The early time slowly changed to 10:00 AM as Levi's body resisted sleep. When his alarm went off, he mentally groaned at the tiredness he felt. He could barely move anymore. His thoughts were always distracted on sleep. He forgot names, assignments, and much more. Nobody seemed to notice which meant it probably wasn't a big deal. At least that's what Levi told himself.
Levi stumbled as he stood up and walked to the bathroom. After he'd gotten ready he began the walk across campus to his first afternoon class.
Levi sat down and felt his eyes grow droopy as the professor went on.
He was nudged lightly in the shoulder, realizing he'd fallen asleep on his desk.
"You okay?" His table partner asked seeing Levi's sick appearance.
It wasn't too hard to see something was wrong. His face was pale, he was shaky, and there were dark bags under his eyes.
"Yes, I'm fine, everything's fine!" He said in a panic, denying everything. The person nodded and left him alone.
After the lecture ended, he got up and hurried out of the class.
After two miserable classes, he made it to lunch. His friends stared at him as he sat down in the dining hall beside them.
"You look miserable, did you get any sleep last night?" His friend Joey asked.
"Yes! I'm fine, why do people keep saying that?" Levi said getting irritated. He got up from the table and left, finding a private place outside.
As Levi saw a tree he could sit by, he began to feel dizzy. The world spun around him and he knew he wouldn't make it far. His phone was off too, no one would find him. He began walking back to get help, fighting away the black spots. He pulled out his phone, trying to text as he walked.
He sent a message to Mark but it came out jumbled.
Makr, ned help, fel disy, am ouside
When Mark saw the message his blood chilled. He read it from inside the dining hall. All of his friends had moved on from the topic of Levi's irritated response, and abrupt exit.
"Guys...uh...I have to go. I'll see you guys later." Mark said hurrying outside.
"Levi?" He called looking around. After walking further he tried to call and still got no answer. He called over and over but had no luck. He searched the area and found Levi's body crumpled against a wall.
