Part Eight

Seàn clings onto me tightly.
Hot burning tears stream down his face.

I can't bare to be here right now. To have him in my arms. To have saved his life.

His weeps grow louder as I hum a soothing tune softly.

I feel my heart beat. I feel Seàn's as well. The room around me starts to get darker and darker.

A poor man who suffers from these dreadful things thinks his life should end.

Nobody should think their life should end so soon.

"Seàn." I say softly to him.

Watery blue eyes mess with my heart strings as he makes eye contact.

"Please, don't end this fight early."

He smiled through his pain. He rested his head on my right shoulder.

I closed my eyes. All I saw was darkness. Except this time, it wasn't okay to see it.

I opened my eyes to see a shadow standing over Seàn and I. It was similar to Seàn's body type. Not like the one before.

As I stared into it's un-seen face, I felt a feeling of hate and fear fill up inside me. When I stared at it, Seàn's weeps became louder.

I blinked, and it was gone. I felt its presence still surround us, so I held onto Seàn as protection.

I knew this was just my imagination. Most likely from being around Seàn too much I'm starting to see things.

I started to rock Seàn again.
I assume we're going to be sitting on this cold bathroom floor for quite a while.

That's okay.
