Second Chance. (Ultimate Dream Sequel - Zak Bagans Fan Fic)

Who is Tilly?

(Chapter written from Leigh's POV)

I stood above my body looking at the beautiful flowers Zak brought me, it had taken him sometime to visit me but I was glad he did. Maybe now he can find some sort of healing within himself, it's different for me as I can see him and still marvel at his most perfect face but for him he is blindfolded in a dark room.

It was a beautiful stone Zak had brought for me, beautiful font used to engrave my name Leigh Bagans. Always Brough a smile to my face that I died a Bagans, I died knowing love real love but Zak won't. He will know what heartbreak is, I worry he won't ever find love again.

I heard sticks snapping and a light appeared in the distance, Tilly was up. Tilly had a sad life and at nights I come by her hut and see cry herself to sleep, she is a gentle soul very fragile.

Though Tilly always had a brave face on, she always got the best out of a bad situation. She too was pretty; long brown hair, luscious body and a smile worth a million dollars but it's heart wrenching that her smile has made more frowns.

Tilly cries for her parents at night as she lost them at a very young age, she prays that they're well and happy. She prays that the poor people she sees through here end up happy and healed but she never once prays for herself.

She is misguided, travelling a life of the unknown and trying to find who she is.

I noticed her when she stopped and looked pale white, she noticed me and I panicked. I brought myself away form her and came up behind her, she followed to where I was and stood at the edge of my grave. As always she made a little prayer and wished me a goodnight, she headed back to her hut but never fell asleep.

I brought myself back to Zak's room and caressed his back as he finally got some sleep. He'd do all nighters or he would have horrible dreams and wake up screaming, it hurt me a lot knowing I couldn't heal him, I couldn't re-assure him everything will be okay.

I walked down the halls of our house and looked at our wedding pictures, such an amazing day. I remember we stood in the strip surrounded by music and I had Zak in my harms and we just decided to get married, it was all so perfect.

I brought myself to another set of photos, a Polaroid collage of just him and me being idiots. These memories flushed through my head and I could feel the tears stream down my face.

I heard Zak rustle around upstairs and call my name several times, I moved up there and caught him mid sleep he was obviously having a nightmare.

"Ssh Zak" I whispered.

"Leigh" he breathlessly called my name and he squirmed.

I tried to let him know I was here, that I'm always here but it hard sometimes when I'm drained. 

"Tilly" he mumbled against the pillow.

I pulled away as I struggled not to collapse and disappear, he called her name. I kneeled before him watching his face sleepy ease up and he fell back into a deep sleep.

I stayed with him all night wondering if he'd say her name again, maybe there is something about Tilly? Could she heal him being wounded herself.

They had to meet again.
