Her & I

14

In the middle of the night I felt her icy hands grab my waist and her head resting on my chest. I put my arm around her half awake, then fell back asleep. Her body was colder than normal, but that quickly changed. Her hair was in two long braids like Wednesday Addams, one a deep red & the other white as snow. Tomorrow would be a month since we met, and summer would be ending. The city was dim and quiet, other than the party below us, luckily we were on the top floor so we didn't have to deal with the people above us being loud or anything. The next morning I felt like I should text my brother, Mikey, opening up our texts I realized it had been a month since we talked, or texted. I reread them, he was the last person I was going to talk to the night I was going to kill my self. I regretted ending MCR, leavening New Jersey, & I felt so alone the only person who didn't fully cut me out of there life was Mikey. I had called him right before i swallowed an ungodly amount of pills, I remember him telling me to at least come back home, I had hung up and cried till the morning, the next day I went to the closest bar and met the love of my life. I called Mikey because I didn't think texting him after that conversation would be appropriate, I held my breath worried about the conversation would go. It went straight to voicemail, I blurted out not thinking "I'm not dead, please call me back, or text me, I'm actually very happy with everything. Ummm, yeah, bye." I set down my phone and grabbed some yogurt from the fridge and plugged in my phone. I stared at it waiting & hoping for a call or text back. I heard Thor's nails on the hard wood floor which ment Rey was awake, I got up opened the sliding glass door and felt the early morning sea breeze on my face. Rey walked over to me holding my hand and looking out to the ocean, she sighed the brisk air sweeping her hair behind her "I'm glad we met, I would've been stressing over random crap right now, and you would be, well, dead." I put my arm around her shoulder kissing the top of her head "You caused me to have friends, be happy, and begin to love life again." she smiled blushing, then my phone started to ring off the hook. I ran to the counter tripping as I grabbed my phone. Laying on the floor I answered Rey dying of laughter and Thor peacefully sleeping the whole time. My voice cracked like an old tape "Hi, Mikey, I'm not dead." I heard a bit of laughter and he answered "Good, where are you? Are you heading back home?" I paused "I actually have my own apartment with my fabulous, amazing, beautiful girlfriend in Sana Monica." he answered "I'm actually in LA right now, maybe I could visit while I'm out here." I smiled and looked at Rey knowing she could here all of this, she nodded her head yes and I replied "The Queen said yes, I'll send you the address. Bye."  I quickly sent our address and looked around our home. Frantically I tried to clean as much as possible, there was a knock on the door and Rey went over and opened it. I looked at her and the 3 foot tall box net to her, she was smiling from ear to ear. She carefully opened the box revealing countless man gas & comic books. She carefully put them all in the built in bookshelf on the end of our breakfast bar. They went from the counter to the ceiling and the few extra in a neat pile on the counter. She disappeared into our room to get ready too meet my brother, but when she closed the door I heard her freak out and begin to talk to herself. I sat there not sure what to do, I hadn't seen Mikey face-to-face in a long time, so just makes good everything look nice and getting dressed felt like a challenge. I turned on Netflix and went through the recently watched, going through Rey's endless amount of anime and other shows. I watched some Bobs Burgers, and then I heard a knock on the door.
