One Chance

Chapter 5 - Angel of the Night

Sean's POV

I don't know what made me do it. I just, turned Megan around, and kissed her. She didn't back away. She didn't stop me. She actually kissed back. One hand on her waist, the other cupping her face. When I broke the kiss, she didn't look at me. Instead she looked down at the floor. I put my hand, under her chin, and lifted her head up, so I could see her beauty. "You know, I... I think I'm in love with you." I said. She blushed, which made me smile. Seeing her happy, was the best thing I could ever see. But that smile soon faded. "Sean?" She said looking into my eyes. "Yea?" I replied. We were just standing in my kitchen, looking into each others eyes. "I.. I can't." Megan said, leaving the kitchen. She sat on the couch, and buried her head in her hands. "You can't what?" I asked sitting next to her. "I can't do this. My dad ruins everything for me. Thats why I don't date anymore. I don't want my dad to ruin anything with you. I care to much about you! I have since I first met you. Even if it was through a screen!" She said. She was crying hard. I went to pull her in a hug, but she backed away. "Megan, your dad can't do anything. I promise." I said. "Can.. Can just take a shower and sleep?" She said looking up. "Of course. You can sleep where ever you feel like it, and the only shower is in my room." I said pointing there. She grabbed some clothes and walked into my bedroom, and closed the door.

Megan's POV

After my shower, I got extremely tired. "Sean... Is it okay, if I sleep on your bed?" I asked down the hall. "Sure!" I hear him yell back. I laid in his bed, all warm, cozy, and it smelled like him. But soon, the horror began. I knew I was dreaming, but it felt so real. I was back in my house, Mom and Dad were fighting, and My sister and I were trying to ignore them. Now normally I'd have these nightmares, but this was different. It would normally play out to what happened. But instead I heard gunshots. I ran into my parents room, to see my mother on the ground. Dead. With a bullet right through her forehead. "D-daddy?! W-why'd you ki-" My sister was cut off with the same gun shot. Right through the head. "Now your safe my little princess." My dad said with an evil grin. "D-daddy?! Your crazy?!" He laid the gun upon his bed, and left the room hysterically laughing. This could be my one chance to end it all... Either kill my dad, or myself. I knew it was a dream... But what if it happens... If I chose to do it. Would I die? Or my dad die? I shook the thought out of my head. I wanted this to all end. But I was caught off guard, with the sudden rush of safety. I was brought to a happier moment in my life. Surprisingly it was when I found Sean's channel. It was just filled with joy and cheer, hearing his voice, his laugh, seeing his smiling face through the dream. I don't know what caused so much happiness to surge through me. Then, I felt it. Sean's arm was wrapped around me, keeping me safe from my nightmares.
