Lost

6

I wake up at around six o'clock in the morning not being able to go back to sleep. I grab my phone on my night stand next to my bed. I turn it on the light shines in my face. It takes me a minute to adjust to the lightning. I don't really have anything to do on my phone and I doubt any one is up this late. I put Ian, Max and I in a group chat.

Me: Guys?

No answer.

Then, I think about what Alex told me, to text him anytime, but did he actually mean, anytime?

Me: Alex? Hey it's Rose..

Alex: What it is?

He actually answered immediately after I sent the message.

Me: How the hell, are you up so early?

Alex: I can never sleep....

Me: I couldn't sleep either.

Alex: I had a weird dream I woke up from, It's bugging me..

Me: What was it?

Alex: I was in a white room, filled with blood. My older brother was their with a knife and he just keep torturing me, slitting my skin. Suddenly, you appear, and he slits your throat, that's when I woke up...

It took me a moment to respond.

Me: You have a brother?

Alex. Yea, he's twenty three and he's in prison. He used to beat me..bad

Me: Sorry, I didn't know.

Alex: I mean how could you? I always dream about him, that's why I never get any real good sleep.

Me: Dreams, come from what you think about in your head, do you think about him?

Alex: Everyday. I can remember every detail of his face. He had tan skin, a tattoo of a die on his neck. Brown silky hair, strong jaw line. I could go on, and on about him if I wanted too

Me: You think about me?...

It takes him a second to respond.

Alex: All the time.

Me: Oh,

Alex: Sorry if I creeped you out

Me: No, not at all, just surprised you said that

Me: You should clear your mind of all the negative, what are some things you like? Positive things, memories?

Alex: The time I told you I had cancer and diabetes. I felt so relieved

Me: Why?

Alex: You mean a lot. I've never gotten along with someone so well

Me: What about Sam? Nixon? Jax?

Alex: Your different..

Alex: You know I think I'm gonna go back to sleep

Me: Yea, me too, night

Alex: Goodnight Rose

I turn off my phone laying down, letting the darkness take over.
