Late Night Ride (Pezzy x OC)

Party.... and questions? pt.2

I look around the room waiting before finally a question was asked.

"You see the dead? " yumi asked. "Yes I do, I can also hear them and touch them as if they were still alive." I explain.

"Is it exhausting? " smii7y asked. "It can be, I've learned over the years to manage it and over time it's gotten easier. " I reply.

"Were you born with it? " Jschlatt asked. "No, I had a death experience. Most people have what's called near death experiences like almost being hit with a car or something. I however actually did die. For a brief period of time my heart stopped and when I woke up I had a new ability. "

"What are the headphones for? " Isaac asked. "Ever since the video with Sam and Colby, it's as if my auditory senses that are linked with my gift have been amplified. Instead of just hearing the ghosts that are in the room, I now hear every spirit within a certain radius. It's constant screams and begging and anger. It's as if they are all right next to me screaming in my ears. Pezzy got me the headphones to help block out the noise and it does. When I'm out in public it deafens the noise to a soft buzz. When I'm home or here I don't necessarily need them because the screams are a soft buzz without them but if I wear them home or here it becomes silent. " I explain as best as I can. "I hope that all made sense"

"Are you and pezzy dating? " Larry asked and I smile blushing a little. Some of the guys laugh while others "oooooh". Pezzy groans in embarrassment that his friend would ask that. "... Not yet" is all I say and wink at pezzy before grabbing my cup and make my way up to his room to put my stuff in. In the distance I can hear his friends hyping him up and I softly laugh to myself.

I open his bedroom door and place my bag on his bed and take my headset off as I sit on his bed. Just being in his room, surrounded by what makes him, well, him, is enough to silence the buzzing and I felt at peace. I close my eyes and lay back on the bed just trying to savor the calmness I finally have.

It's stupid, I know, but being able to finally properly breathe mentally was making me tear up a little.

"Are you ok? " I hear a quiet voice say. I open my eyes and look over and see pezzy. "I'm sorry about my friends, they can be stupid. " he said as he makes his way over and sits on the edge of the bed next to me. "Are you crying? I'll kill them I swear" he said sounding irritated a little. I giggle softly "I'm fine pezzy don't worry... Believe it or not, these are tears of relief. " I say as I sit up so we are more eye level.

He gently cups my face and wipes my tears and I lean into his touch. "When I'm with you, whether it's focusing on your voice... Or we are physically touching... The buzzing is gone and my head feels clear. " I say softly. "Turns out your room has the same affect. " I explain.

"Awe novie why didn't you say anything sooner? " he asked concerned. "I didn't want you to feel obligated to stay by my side. I wanted you to do what you love and not feel bothered" I say sighing.

"You are never a bother, and I wouldn't feel obligated. Spending time with you isn't an obligation, it's something I want to do. Don't ever think you aren't worth my time ok? " I said and I nod.

"Good, and I'm happy I can help you since I know how hard this has been on you. I remember the first week you were calling me because you kept thinking you had gone insane. " he said and I smile while remembering how he had to talk me down from my mental breakdowns.

I lean over and kiss his cheek softly "you're an amazing person you know that? " I ask and he blushes a bit and smile. He kisses my lips softly before pulling away "takes one to know one" he replied. "Now sleep for a bit, I'm sure you'll want at least a few hours of non buzzing sleep. I'll come get you in a bit, if you wake up before then just come and find me" he said. I nod and take my shoes off as he goes and grabs one of his big t-shirts for me to sleep in. I grab it with a small thank you. With his help I got out of my dress and then I slipped the shirt on, it being long enough to reach mid thigh so I didn't bother with shorts. I get back into bed and curl up under the covers and he kissed my cheek before leaving, closing the door behind him so the noise wouldn't disturb me.

I fell asleep to the subtle scent of his Cologne, the warmth in my cheeks from blushing, the butterfly feeling in my stomach, the soft distant sounds of chatter from the group of grown men fighting over Mario Kart.
