Felix.
I sleep very lightly. I always have. Now that my bed is being shared, I can feel everything that happens.
Amelia sleeps restlessly and I can tell she still has nightmares.
"Mmm. No," she mutters to herself as she tosses and turns, her leg wrapping around my waist, our chests pressed together.
"Amelia, wake up," I shake her gently.
Her eyes squeeze together more tightly, some tears forming.
I rub her back gently while whispering sweet nothings in her ear.
After a few minutes of this, the love of my life calms down.
I wish she would tell me about her nightmares in more detail so I could help.
I am often left feeling useless. Falling in love with Amelia has me more worrisome and protective on matters concerning her.
Before, all I had to worry about was Pan and myself. I never cared half as much as I do now.
I sigh and look at the crack in the wall of my wooden shack.
Night still.
Time passes slowly as I watch the woman I love fidget in her slumber.
Oddly, having her with me makes night feel safer.
Before Amelia, I was afraid of the dark... As embarrassing as that is to admit.
Now I know nothing can touch me.
This girl... She has the power to do anything she puts her mind to.
We protect each other.
Ever since we began sharing a bed, I've been getting more sleep and feeling alot better.
I've been able to stomach meals and focus. I've been given a will to live.
My eyelids grow heavy as the feeling of safety fills me.
The light of the stars and torch outside of my shack begins to blur.
I let out a tired yawn as I fall asleep once again.
The feeling of completion settling over me as darkness floods my vision.
