Eyelids Alex Babinski FF

Chapter Six

I could hear thumping around in the spare room all night, feeling the space next to me I was met by the cold sheets that were once occupied by Alex.

That's strange. I thought to myself as I peeled the sheets off my body, tiredly making my way over to the room door. By the time I opened it all the noises stopped completely. Nothing was heard at all.

"Alex?" I called out, no answer.

I began my journey to look for Alex around the small house that we lived in. My eyebrows furrowing together as there was no sign of him at all.

"Alex?"

A loud slam echoed through the house, making me stop in my tracks all I could think about was who in the hell would slam a door at three am?

I walked into the kitchen and turned the lights on, turning around to look out the window a shriek escaped my lips as my hands flew to my mouth. There was Alex hanging from the tree in the yard, running out in bare feet. I pushed his body up in hopes that it would help him breathe. Tears streaming down my cheeks as my arms were around his legs.

"Alex! Baby, please." I sobbed, looking up at his lifeless body just hanging there. His skin a pale white color, his body limb and I couldn't do anything.

"Caden!"

I sat up, screaming as I felt a pair of arms wrap around me, my chest feeling heavy as loud cries escaped my body. I turned around, Alex was the one holding me. He was okay, he was safe, no marks around his neck or anything.

My arms automatically wrapped around him, clinging to his shirt as I started to cry. "I thought I lost you!" my face buried into his chest while my fists bawled his shirt up.

"Shh, it was only a dream. It's okay, I'm here." Alex kept repeating over and over, slowly calming me down from the nightmare that I had just encountered.

Tears were streaming down my cheeks as I buried my face into the softness of his shirt. The way his hand soothingly rubbed up and down my back slowly as my breathing became lighter.

"It's okay, I'm here. I'm not letting you go." I closed my eyes again as I took a deep breath in.

Alex's P.O.V

By morning Caden didn't say a word, we never talked about what she dreamed of as I set the coffee cup in front of her. Taking a seat across from her tired looking body, I watched as her eyes slowly opened to look down at the mug that was placed in front of her.

"Are you going to tell me what it was?"

"No." She mumbled.

"I thought we said no secrets."

"Fine, I just had a nightmare. I thought someone was chasing me and it felt so real."

Caden was looking to the left as she told me her story. Science tells that if someone is lying they automatically look to the left without realizing it, they look to the right when they're telling the truth and that's how I knew she was lying to me.

"Cade's, why are you lying to me?" I let out a quiet sigh as I looked down at my coffee, taking the last sip of it.

She said nothing in return as I put my mug in the sink, rinsing it out. I rubbed my face with both my hands. "I've got band practice in half an hour, I don't know what time I'll be home so Alexa said she'll pick you up and take you out for lunch with Kelsey."

Without another word I left, leaving Caden alone with just the full mug in front of her.

Lynn and I were sitting together while she was going through her notes, scribbling down what we thought sounded good.

"We can meet in the middle, bodies and souls collide."

I couldn't help but keep the smile that was etched onto my face as Lynn went over them.

"This song could totally be from you to Caden." She commented, looking up at me from the sheet of paper. "How is she anyways?"

"She had a nightmare last night, it scared the fuck out of me Lynn. I was calling her name for at least 5 minutes, she was crying and screaming. I didn't know what to do." I groaned quietly, running my hands through my hair.

"Have you tried talking about it to her?"

"Don't even get me started on that. I tried, and she completely lied to my face. Alexa's going to try and get it from her today."

"You're using my ex girlfriend?! Alex!" Lynn slumped into her chair and rolled her eyes lightly.

"Sorry, I couldn't think of anyone else and Angel was busy." I stated, sighing quietly.

My phone buzzed, stopping Lynn from asking whatever she was going to say. "Speak of the devil." I mumbled, clicking on the message.

Alexa-
The dream was about you, something about you, rope and a tree? Ring any bells?

Alex-
About me? Rope and a tree? Nope.

Alexa-
You hung yourself from the tree in your backyard.

I felt my grip on my phone loosen, my heart sinking as I placed my phone onto the table. Lynn looked over at me, furrowing her eyebrows lightly.

"I need a minute." I stood up without another word and left Lynn wondering why I walked out.

The air felt good, I didn't feel as suffocated as I did inside the studio. I leant my back against the wall and slow slid down until I was seated on the floor.

She had a dream about me killing myself, yet she couldn't tell me about it? I felt water hit my hands, looking down they were tiny water droplets. I touched my cheek and felt the warm water that had leaked from my eyes.

"Hey." I looked up to see Lynn exit the building, I quickly wiped my eyes and cleared my throat as I answered her.

"I saw the message back in there." Lynn took a seat next to me as I nodded slowly.

"She couldn't even tell me how she was feeling or anything, but she'll tell Alexa?"

"Maybe she's afraid."

"Afraid of what? My girlfriend hasn't been the same since she'd had that eye surgery. I can't play these mind games." I ran my fingers through my hair as a sigh escaped my lips.

"Talk to her." I felt Lynn's hand on my shoulder and I shrugged it off. "I've tried, I'm slowly giving up on us, Lynn. I don't want that, but it's happening."

I was pulled into a side hug by Lynn as she gently squeezed me. "It'll work out, just don't give up yet." I sighed, knowing that my best friend was right. I've been through everything with Caden, and I've always loved her.

Caden was my life, my best friend and I wouldn't know what to do without her. Without Caden, I wouldn't be who I am today.

I Alexander Luke Babinski, am going to find out and stop everything wrong that happens in my girlfriend's life, even if it kills me.
