Nai had burnt herself, Kai had left, and I don't have anyone to do the sleepover with tonight. Well I think I regret saying that I'll sleep alone. It was only 10pm but I was stressing on what to do. It hit 11 when Kai, Noah, and Brook had left and almost everyone had went in there room to get ready for bed after that. Nate, Nick, Chris, and me were the only ones in the living room playing spicy uno with me.

"ONE MORE ROUND!?"
"Nope I quit I've never been more out of it in my life" Nick says yawning then walking to his room.
"You two?"
"I'm out. I feel my eyes relapsing on me." Nate says walking out too.
"Damn it"
"Why don't you wanna go to bed mimi?" Chris said yawning.
"Uhh I'm just not tired" it was a bad lie but that's okay.
"I thought you had another sleepover today?"
"Nope plan got canceled sadly"
"Aw man" he said giggling.
"Alright I'll man up and go to bed"
"Ah there's the mimi spirt" he says getting up.
"Good night Chris see you in the morning"
"Good night princess"

I turn all the lights off and head up the stairs. From the creaks in the stairs to the thumping of my feet all bring me back. Fuck don't do this now mimi. I enter my room and get into bed. As per usual I reply to all of nais TikTok's then decide to scroll for about 30 minutes. 30 minutes which I had wished I took back. Those 30 minutes that would be known as my down fall. I stumble across a ship edit of me and Chris with the caption being, (not a ship edit) with the sound being in between by Gracie Abrams. I add it o the collection of edits with friends. We all know there ship edits but hey it's still a cute edit. After a few more scrolls I see an old edit of me and nai which we looked so little. The camera turns to show me and Ezra holding hands with smiles on are faces. Fuck. The sound was I miss you I'm sorry by Gracie Abrams. It was with both vocals towards the end of the song aligned next to are faces. I never watched those videos anymore and seeing my face and his both smiling put a pit deep down in my stomach. Just scroll. Yet I still looked at the comments.

'Pls omg I miss them'
'Child of divorce'
'Chris and mimi are good but not og'
'Look how happy they looked omg🙃'
'They all look so young'
'Genuinely will forever be curious on what happened to them'
'Bye I miss them so much'
'I was eating this couple up two years ago'

Oh. I put my phone down and try to fall asleep. I think of other things like what we had planned for tomorrow. My eyes finally drifted off and suddenly I'm at home laying in my bed. I try to get up however my body had been stuck in that position. It was fine I was comfortable. I hear a knock on the door. Three slow knocks. Oh. I know where I am...
Then I hear the knob click open. No no no. Someone please wake me up. Please. I don't wanna be here. Please. My heart was thumping like crazy. My voice shaken and unable to use it. I was able to say stop. Stop was the only word that came out. This wasn't a dream. It was a memory. He comes towards my head and whispers in my ear, "come on Mimi haven't I waited long enough." My once comfortable position left me cold. His finger prints on my body that felt like bruising left to scar. I screamed for help that day. No one was home though. My screams turned into cry's that day. And now. Now I was stuck in this nightmare for even longer not able to move an inch of my body or scream. Please. Please wake me up. Someone help me. I need someone please. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I CANT DO THIS PLEASE.

"MIMI" I hear a scream and my body shaking. My actual body. That's when my eyes finally opened. My body that was once cold was hot again. I felt my eyes and face filled with tears.
"Mimi are you okay?" Chris said with a concerned tone.
I jump to hug him tightly not letting go.
" I called you five times you were starting to scare me"
"I-I'm s-sorry" my tears slandered my speech.
He hugged me tighter "don't cry please. I'm here now I won't let anything happen to you." I look over his shoulder at the time. It had been 45 minutes. 45 minutes I was reliving my memory into a nightmare. 45 minutes of my body wanting to leave itself. 45 minutes of tears that had left my eyes. 45 minutes I had to relive his hands on my body.

"I'm going to get you water" he said releasing from are hug and walking towards the door. I grad his shirt like it was reflex.
"I'm sorry to ask you this. But please don't leave me..." he kinda looked at me but I couldn't read his face sense it was too dark.
"Follow me then" he grabbed my hand with are fingers interlocking for the first time. I had felt interlay safe now.

We got to the kitchen and he pored me a cold water asking me the question, "you wanna talk about it?" I immediately shook my head no.
"That's perfectly fine then" he kissed my forehead and passed me the water.
"How'd you know to come to my room?"
"You want me to be honest?"
"Yeah"
"I had a dream you were screaming for help behind a door. I felt something was off about it so I checked on you."
"Thank you." I say my voice a little down
"Your welcome." He said smiling

I could tell he was avoiding talking about the situation after I had said no. I saw him bring out lots of blankets from the cabinet and plop them on the living room floor. I was staring at the wall but I could still see him in the corner of my eye. He was building a blanket fort. I turned my head to watch and he looked as if he did it with ease. As much as I wanted to make a joke my mind didn't allow me. Once he was done he turned on the tv and told me to go in.

"Almost as good as me, nai, and nicks."
"I know right" he giggled.
He layed down legs crossed as if he were exhausted.
"I feel bad you know you can go to your own bed if you want to?"
"Nice try but your "please don't leave me" is gonna make me stay right next to you for however long you need me. Got that?" I felt my eyes water again after he said that.
"Woah woah don't cry I'm sorry" he said siting up and wiping the tears off my face.
"There aren't sad tears I promise" I say giggling.
"Still don't cry I like when your you. Happy smile mimi."
"Yes sir" I say giggling through tears and I see him smile. 

We both lay down with body space between us till I ask, "uhm is it okay if I lay next to you, it's fine if no I'm-"

"Mimi calm down I'm not gonna take that the wrong way"
"Thank you"
"Say thank you again and I'll have to beat you up" he grabbed the tv remote and turned on fantastic mr fox.
"My comfort movie!" I say with a wide smile on my face and I can feel Chris staring into my eyes in a calm way. Almost like he was just admiring me fir a second.

I layed my head on his shoulder and I felt him play with my hair until he stopped about 30 minutes into the movie he was asleep. I still watched for another good 25 minutes after.

"I don't know, but I have a possible theory. I think I have this thing where I need everybody to think I'm the greatest."

And with that I drifted to sleep in his arms knowing that I was safe with him. I finally felt that I wasn't in constant danger. He was like my safety blanket that I knew I needed for a long time. My version of a house with no mirrors always telling me I'm okay. He was all I needed to find in someone. If I was stranded at sea I knew it was him who would come to my rescue. Stranded in the dark I knew he was my light.

He is my version of love.
My version of home.
