Everything Happens For A Reason (MikeXOMC!)

Chap. 9 Dreams And A Ring

Damian ran for his life in the cold, dark place. The haunting screams chased him as he ran. His legs felt numb as the snow slowed him down.

"Beth..."

He couldn't stop running. He needed to find her. He needed her to be okay. The path he ran on seemed to never end. He felt like he was going insane. The screams were beginning to hurt his ears as they grew louder and louder.

Suddenly he fell down a dark hole. Jagged rocks pierced his skin as he fell. He laid there on the cold hard ground, feeling hopeless and lost.

Screams of pain and cries of fear echoed around slowly got up and followed the sounds.

"Damian..."

His eyes searched through the dark as he looked for them.

"Damian over here.."

The voices circling around him as they taunted him. Damian walked through the endless maze of cave tunnels.

"Damian..."

He saw two girls huddled together like they were trying to stay warm.

"Beth? Hannah?"

Their cries stopped as they disappeared. Damian looked around the cave, confused.

"It's all your fault!"

Beth and Hannah appeared in front of his as they yelled at him angrily.

"You left us to die!"

Damian shook his head as tears streamed down his face.

"No, no, no, no! I'm sorry!"

"You killed us Damian!"

Sobs escaped him as he shook his head more.

"I thought you loved me!"

"I thought we were friends!"

Their yells grew louder as they stepped closer to him. He stepped backwards and fell down. He shut his eyes tightly as they reached out to touch him.

"Damian!

"Damian!"

"Damian!" Damian practically jumped as he woke up gasping for air. He felt a pair of hands touch him, causing him to panic and try to scurry away. "Damian, it's okay! It's me! It's Mike! You're okay! It was just a bad dream." Damian calmed down once he realized that it actually was Mike. His eyes scanned the room as he tried to catch his breathe. His gaze landed onto the tv and he realized he had fallen asleep while watching a movie with Mike.

"Sorry Mike. I didn't mean to fall asleep." Damian said as he ran his fingers through his hair. It's been almost two weeks since Mike promised Damian that he would visit him everyday. So far he has kept his promise even though Damian says he doesn't need to.

"Don't worry about it bro. It's cool." Mike looked at Damian with a worried expression. Damian's mother had told him that Damian has nightmares, but he didn't think they were that bad. Damian would flinch and whimper in his sleep while his hands clutched the closest thing they could grab. "Do...do you wanna talk about it?" Damian shook his head while avoiding eye contact. If anything he wanted to forget the dream. He wanted to just crawl in a dark hole and never leave again.

"Okay, but if you ever want to talk, you know I'm here for you." Mike's phone suddenly vibrated loudly. He looked down at his phone and saw Emily's name. He sighed quietly and ignored it. "Wanna play some video games?" He asked with a large smile. He hoped he could somehow cheer up his best friend with some video games.
