Wake Me Up(an Ed Sheeran fan fiction)

Chapter Twenty-Two

"Reggie..." Someone was shaking me. "Reggie..." I tried to ignore them, but they kept on doing it. "Wake up!" I opened my eyes, angrily and glared at the person. Craig. He was silhouetted against the light from outside.

"The fuck do you want Craig?" I snapped. He pointed out my window.

"Look!"

I put on my glasses and glanced at the time on my clock. 2:16a.m. What the fuck is he awake for!? I sat up and looked out my bedroom window. Out there in the darkness, there was flakes of white falling down. More whiteness covered the ground. "Snow!"

Where Craig and I were from, snow was something we rarely got. If we were lucky, we would get a little bit of it around Christmas, and maybe around our birthday in February. Other than that, we didn't really get any. So snow was a sight to see.

"I know right?" Craig whispered back. He was sitting on my dresser, looking out the window. I giggled at him. If he moved even the slightest inch, he would fall off.

"Careful." I mumbled, looking back out the window.

"Shut it." Craig replied. I smiled. Memories started passing through my mind.

The first time Craig and I stayed up to watch the snow was when we were eight years old. It was on a Saturday so Dad let us stay up. It was also the weekend before Christmas.

Dad got popcorn and blankets set up on the couch. Craig and I sat down with him and we all watched the snow together for a half an hour. Then Craig and I fell asleep.

Another memory with Danny, Vav, Craig, and I popped into my mind. It was in sixth grade. We were all outside in the new snow, throwing flurries at each other. On that night, Danny kissed me on the cheek. I smiled at the memory and flashed back to reality.

Craig and I watched the snow fall for twenty more minutes. It was so beautiful, so mesmerizing. I sighed. I wish this could last forever...

"Well." Craig said with a yawn. "I'm gonna... Go to bed."

"Weren't you sleeping before?" I asked, turning to him. He shook his head.

"I was in a Skype call with Dad and Fitz." He said. "Just a late night call." He looked away. I punched his shoulder, hard.

"You lucky bugger!" I said, loudly. Craig opened his mouth to reply, but then lost his balance and fell off the dresser. He thumped against the floor and laid there for a second. "Craig?" I said, suddenly concerned. He rolled over slowly, as if he was in pain.

"I can't..." He choked out. Oops... I knocked the breath out of him! I giggled.

"Oh wow... Sorry Craig." I hopped off my bed and helped him sit up.

"I..." He couldn't get words out. "There..." He coughed. "You... You're an ass." He croaked. I smirked.

"Go to bed." I crawled back into my own bed. I took off my glasses and set them on the dresser. After a moment, Craig stood up and left the room.

"Night Reggie." He said, closing my door. I groaned and rolled over, shoving my face into my pillow. There was a tap at my window. I ignored it. Then it tapped again. Come on! I rolled back over and looked at the window. I. Just. Want. To. Sleep!
