Difficult Decisions

Did You Hear That?

Alex ' s POV

*waping* *waping* *waping* I open my eyes and groan. "Who the hell is texting me at..." I look to the clock on the wall. "Oh. 12:30 mid day. Never mind then." I attempt to sit up, but I'm restrained. "What the hell?" I look down to a peaceful sleeping Sean. I smile softly. *waping* "ok Shut u-" *waping* *waping* "SHUT UP!" Silence. "Thank you!" *waping* I rub my temples. "Sorry Sean. I'm surprised you're not awake yet." I check my phone.

END CONVERSATION
I roll my eyes and lie back down into a comfortable position.

SEAN'S POV

I am trying so hard to contain my laughter right now. Who yells at their phone? Only Alex... I wonder who was texting her? I pretend to yawn and wake up. She smiles down at me. "Good morning... afternoon... I think..." She says, now confused. "It's a good whatever it whenever you're around." Her face reddens. "Aaaaawww! Thanks Sean. Same goes to you too." She hugs me and hops out of bed. How the hell did I find a girl like her? I sit up and stretch. "Hey Sean?" Alex asks from the other room. I walk out to where she is. "Do you wanna take a walk later?" She asks. "Yeah. That'd be nice. What time?" She thinks for a bit. "Whatever time the stars come out." I raise an eyebrow. "But... You're already awake!" She laughs. "Good one." She opens the front door, then immediately runs back in. She makes a hissing noise. "OW MY FACE." She runs into her room. She comes back out with her sunglasses. "There we go." She struts out the door casually. I shake my head and smile at the door. "What a girl..."

"Hey Alex?" I ask from the couch. "Yeah?" "The stars are out..." She sticks her head into the room. "LETS GO!"

MARKS POV

"Hey Ryan... Do you hear that?" He walks into the room. "Hear what?" I listen closer. "It sounds like.. Crying." He begins to listen. "Yeah... I do now. It's coming from next door. "No. No! Get away from me! Please!" I stand from the couch. "GEORGIA!" I run out and find my way to their front door. "NO! DON'T YELL AT ME!" I don't really need to knock in this situation do I? "GEORGIA WHERE ARE YOU?!" "No please! Stay away from me you monsters! Don't eat me! Leave me alone!" Oh god. I run towards her bedroom. I burst in. Nothing. Nothing but her crying on her bed curled up in a ball. I run to her side. She never lifts her head. I put my hand on her back, only for her to jolt away. "DON'T HURT ME!" She falls off the other side of the bed. "Shhh... It's ok... It's Mark..." She pokes her head up. "Mark?" Her whimpers fade. She crawls back onto the bed. "I'm sorry. I'm  being an idiot." She wipes her tears away. "No you're not. What are you talking about? What happened?" She looks away. "You can tell me. Trust me." She looks back up with tears in her eyes. "Somniphobia. That's what happened." Her bottom lip begins to quiver. Oh... Somniphobia. The fear of sleep... "It's ok... C'mere." I pull her into a hug, which she gladly takes. Poor thing. "It's not real. They're gone now. You're ok." She nuzzles her head into my neck. "Thank you Mark." I smile. "That's what I'm here for."

GEORGIAS POV (of the current event)

I lay in my bed. "Georgia..." My eyes open. "Please... Not tonight..." I sit up. "We're here Georgia... We're here to stay." My lip begins to quiver. "C'mon Georgia. Block them out. They're not here." That's when I here inaudible whispers in my ear. I look up and see creatures looming in the darkness. "Please... Don't... Hurt me..." That's when they begin to move in. "No. No! Get away from me! Please!" "GEORGIA!" A deeper voice yells. "NO DON'T YELL AT ME!" "GEORGIA WHERE ARE YOU?"  They move in closer, jaws gnashing. "No please! Stay away from me you monsters! Don't eat me! Leave me alone!"  I feel something touch my shoulder. "DON'T HURT ME!" I roll off the bed and huddle together. I look up from the floor and they're closing in. Something breaks the situation like a hammer on glass. "Shhh... It's ok... It's Mark." Something soothing. I peer over the bed. "Mark?" Nothing and no one has ever just... Stopped it like that before... "I'm sorry I'm being an idiot." I wipe my tears and sniffle. "No you're not. What are you talking about? What happened?" I can't tell him he'll think I'm weird... I look away. "You can tell me. You can trust me." I look back up. Well he's not wrong. "Somniphobia. That's what happened." His eyes are filled with sadness and care. "It's ok... C'mere." He pulls me in for a hug. A comforting one at that. "It's not real. They're gone now. You're ok." He sure does know how to comfort someone. "Thank you Mark." I say into his neck. "That's what I'm here for." That's when we hear the front door open. He gets up and our fingers intertwine. He leads me out of the room. "Hey guys!" Sean nearly screams. "I see you two seem to be getting on pretty well." Me motions toward our hands. I blush deeply. "You ok Georgia?" Alex asks. "Well, I can't really lie to you... Even if I wanted to." I smile softly. She laughs and we head off to her room to talk.

MARKS POV

I raise my eyebrows at Sean once they leave. "Tell me everything." He laughs at the gossip girly voice I used. "Sit down Markibutt." We sit on the couch. He begins to talk. "So..."
