Wake Up Call (English) #Wattys2016

Valium

I hadn't moved from my place next to Marshall on the floor and it had now been one hour. I sobbed and cried while I stroked through his short blonde hair.

"Marshall, please wake up ..." I wept. His eyes jerked, I got big eyes and sat up to see well enough." Marshall?" I asked again, his eyes jerked again and he let out a groan. I shook him smiling, as I said his name.

"Uuuuugh ..."  he groaned opening his eyes, I met his eyes smiling and grateful.

"Oh my god ... " I said happy with tears in my eyes, he looked up at me strange.

"Hey, why're you crying?"  He said, looking around. "And why am I lying on the floor?" I sniffed and pointed behind him at pill box lying on the floor, he met my gaze again. "Still, I was just sleeping?" He said, smiling at me easily.

"Oh my god, I was so worried!" I exclaimed and threw myself around his neck, he jumped and laughed briefly while he put his arms around me. I let go around him for a while and then looked into his eyes. "I've tried two wake you up for one hour! You weren't snoring, you didn't even flinch when I screamed your name! I thought you were dead until I checked your pulse! What the hell were you doing taking those pills!

He looked at me comforting before he answered.

"I couldn't sleep, my whole body was aching ..."  I gaped and my tears flowed even more.

"Oh my god, that was my fault ... Oh my god! It was my fault! I'm so sorry, Marshall!"

"No, no! Don't apologize ... It's not your fault, I wanted it too and I didn't really 'lay still'..."

I laughed briefly with him and sniffed, he stroked my cheek.

"...How did you get them?" I asked serious.

"Get what?"

"The pills. It was late, everything was closed."

He didn't answer for a while and didn't meet my gaze as he answered.

"This ... This isn't my first time using sleeping-pills. I've had some trouble sleeping, but nothing's wrong!" He smiled easily to me when he met my gaze, I sighed and hugged him.

"Whatever, I'm just happy you're awake!" I said smiling and kissed him on the cheek, he groaned briefly and I let go immediately.

"No, get over here ..." he said and pulled me again, I laughed through the tears and smiled at him when he released the hug after a while.

But I was immediately serious again, I looked him in the eyes.

"Never again. Promise me you'll never do Valium again! You'll scare me to death, I REFUSE to see you like this one more time!"

He said nothing for a little while, I continued without dropping his gaze.

"I thought you were dead, I wanted to be dead ... Please, don't EVER use it again ... I love you too much to see you passed out again, please Marshall. Please, if you don't wanna do it for yourself ... Do it for me? Can you promise me that?"

He looked at me and sent me a slight smile before he brought his hand through my hair until he got down to my cheek, he stroked my cheek smiling and nodding.

"I promise. I won't ever use Valium again ..."
