I Can't Sleep.

Although the night, I couldn't sleep. Dean's arm was still around my waist, and his grip grew tighter when I tried to move...

" Never leave me."

I heard a voice. It sounded like Dean, but he was fast asleep.
" I'll cry when you leave. I didn't want to hurt anyone."
There it is again. I turned my head to Dean. His mouth moved and he spoke again...
" You have no idea what it's like. To regret being alive while also regretting being dead. But if it wasn't for death, I would've never met..."

What? Is he teasing me or actually talking in his sleep?
Dean's eyes shot open and looked at me.
" Did I scare you?" he asks.
" Did you talk about me in your sleep? We've only met today." I responded.
Dean smiled. " You remind me of someone."
I smiled at this. " Who?"
Dean sat up. " My mom. She was always there for me. She took me to multiple therapy sessions, but I refused to listen to them. She'd drive me to school everyday, and pick me up, take me out for awhile, and then we'd go home. I also had a little sister. Rebecca was so funny. She was only 7 when I killed myself, and I can't imagine what had happened to her after that. Your grandfather said I could only see them if you took me, but they'd never see me. I'm dead." Tears started to form in Dean's eyes as he looked out the window in my room.

I hugged him and rubbed his arm in comfort.

Dean spoke up.

" I regret killing myself every time I look at myself. I made a mistake that can't be taken back. I could've dealt with having red eyes, maybe get some contacts. But no, I leapt before I even took a minute to realize what I was doing. You wanna know how I died? I jumped over a bridge. I overdosed, then stepped over the platform and jumped. I never looked back."

I rested my head on Dean's chest. Everything that was happening was too fast. I have a guardian, my grandfather is out there somewhere, and I'm a teenage girl with glowing red eyes.

💀💀💀

Dean's Perspective:

Of all the things that could happen to me, I kill myself. That was a dumb thing to do, because now I miss being alive. Eating human things like pizza and ice cream. Doing fun things like playing video games, watching tv.

Falling in love.

And I think I'm beginning to with Eliza. I've watched over her for a very long time, as her grandfather wished. But I don't want to hurt her or myself in the process... Should I just...
Leave?

💀💀💀
