It's Fine, I'm here - RedNey

Barneys P.O.V:

Dream

I was walking around, everything pitch black till I heard a thuck.

A bright light shined from behind me. I turned around to see a terrible thing. I let out a scream.

Red, with a rope around his neck, hanging. He body swinging from side to side lightly.

My boyfriend of 3 years, hanging.

I quickly sat up on my bed. I felt my forehead, completely drenched in sweat. My breathing was quick and raspy. I could feel nd hear the shuffling of sheets from beside me.

"J-John?" I could feel a hand gently grab my arm. I looked beside me and saw Red, still groggy from just waking up. "Is everything okay?" He asked as he sat up next to me.

"Y-Yah babe... Just a dream." I said to him. "You okay?" I asked

"Don't worry about it babe. It's probably nothing. Just lay down, okay? I'll be happier if your resting." He said. I slowly nodded as I dipped back into bed. I turn to where Red was as he cuddled into me, making my back face the rest of the room. With my head resting on a pillow and chin on to of Red curly hair, I looked over at his bedside table. The light of the alarm clock showed,

2:45AM

I could quickly feel my eye lids drip as I fell into slumber.

I woke up to the sound of the alarm ringing. I looked forward and saw the time.

7:45AM.

I reached my hand out to wake up Red, when I realised he wasn't there. I quickly got up. He wasn't in the bed. Confused, I looked to my side. Horror spread across my face.

Red, with a rope around his neck, hanging. He body swinging from side to side lightly.

My boyfriend of 3 years, hanging.

TimeSkip

When the police arrived, they told me what I already knew. Suicide. What gave me chills, was what time they said they estimated he took his life.

2:50AM

Out of dream

I shot outta bed. My chest pounding.

'Red'

I quickly turned my light on from my side of the bed and looked in the middle of the room. I looked to the other side of the bed. A wide awake Red was there, with tears in his eyes. I quickly hugged him. I held him close to me.

"Babe. I love you so fucking much. Don't you ever forget that." I said. I could feel him cuddle into me.

"I won't.... Hey. You should go back to sleep. I'll feel better if you do." He said.

I looked over at the clock.

2:45 am

"Um... Nah. Can we just talk?" I asked, nervously.

"Oh." He replied, taken back. "S-sure."

So we laid back down, and started talking. I brought up how we where feeling....

Red started to break down.

"I.. I JUST FEEL SO USELESS. LIKE I DON'T HAVE A PURPOSE...... I just wanna die." He said, clinging onto me. He didn't dare show his face. I started to hug him deeply and rub his back gently.

"You are everything but that Red. You're my love. You mean so much to me.... I don't know what I would do if I ever lost you.." I said. I looked over to the side the the clock.

2:50am

I smiled. I saved him..... Again...

I woke up to my head sweating and my heart pounding. I looked around. Everything was dark. I slowly turned to face MY clock on my night stand.

2:45am

Tears started up in my eyes.

""J-John?" I could feel a hand gently grab my arm. I looked beside me and saw Red, still groggy from just waking up. "Is everything okay?" He asked as he sat up next to me.

"Yah babe.... I'm fine."

'You said you would do anything to save him. Heh. You sold your soul to me. And it's mine to play with.'

For thoes if you that don't understand, I'll explain. Barney is stuck in a time warp where in almost any outcome, Red dies. Usually by suicide. And everytime he trys to save Red, the timeline resets. The only ONE way for the time line to go on, is when Red dies, the timeline continues. But Barney loves Red so much, that he doesn't want to continue without Red. So every time Red dies, Barneys brought back to where it's his chose to try and save Red or Let what's planned go on. BUT. THE LAST LINE. THAT'S DEATH.

After Red died the first time, Barney was so heartbroken, he said he would do anything to bring him back.... So he ended up doing that. But at a cost. At a cost of selling his soul to Death. And now Death owns Barneys soul. And Death... He's "playing" with Barney.
