The Essence Of A True Being

Six

When I saw my house I sprinted up the steps and almost tripped over my own feet. What I saw standing before me took my breath away and made my heart skip a beat...

He stood there, not saying a word, in the middle of my home. I don't know how he found me, I don't know how he managed to find his way in, but I want him gone. I began shaking uncontrollably and my eyes began to water. He just stood there. Staring at my trembling form. He took a step towards me and I began shaking more violently as I touched my arm gently, caressing the horrible memory of him.  He took another step and suddenly, sprinting now, slammed hard into my frail body. My head hit the hard ground hard but I suddenly felt safe with him hovering over me. He leaned down and kissed me passionately, muttering how much he "loves me" while doing so.

"If you loved me so much then why did you do this?" I spoke softly, gesturing to my arm. 

"Because, baby, you go crazy when you're in love."

"This is not love, Drew."

He paused, his mouth hanging stupidly open. He then climbed off of me and sat on the hard wooden floor. We sat there staring at each other, both at a loss for words. It must have been hours before he finally got up and walked out the door. I don't know where I got it from, but the urge to run after him took over me. I bolted up and grabbed him by the shirt, turned him around, and kissed him as passionately as I could.
He was surprised at first but finally kissed back. He pulled away after several minutes and disappeared into the setting sun. I'll miss him...

I shot up in my bed, overwhelmed by the darkness, sweat covering every inch of my body.

"Thank god it was just a dream." I muttered and lied back down. I was restless the rest of the night, thoughts of Drew actually returning took over  my mind. I hope I never see him again.
