XX

He sat alone on his bed, stretching himself out. He tried to concentrate on what was on TV, but he couldn't. He tried picking a novel off of the floor and opening it to the first page. He couldn't even get through the first sentence. He couldn't concentrate on a single thing except for her, she was the only thing on his mind.

Carley. Carley. Carley. She was the only thing on his mind. It had been like this for quite awhile now, he would spend days and nights engrossed in his own thoughts about her, he also took it as far as pretending that she still wanted him. He knew it was crazy, but he couldn't stop.

He thought about all of the memories that he had with her. He pretended that she was right there with him. He just couldn't stop thinking about her. He'd love to sit with his phone by his side, waiting for it light up with her name. But it never did, and he didn't know what he could do about it.

He would sometimes laugh at himself, for thinking that she would be by his side forever and that she was attracted to him. It was quite ridiculous, actually. But despite how silly it was, he's still dream about her. And not just any regular dream, they would always be sex dreams. He'd always think that she was there with him. But when he woke up covered in sweat and clutching a pillow, he knew it wasn't true. Then he'd go back to sleep. To help him go to sleep, he would think about an alternate reality where she wanted him. He would always put himself at ease with these thoughts.

He literally kill a man, just to have her look at him. He would give anything to see her smile and taste her cherry red lips. He lived in a pretend world where she was there. Touching him, kissing him, whatever he fantasized about. She was stuck in his mind, and there was nothing that any person, place, or thing could do to make him forget her. She was practically making him insane, he would be in the funny farm any time now.

Lee Everett just couldn't stop thinking of Carley, a girl that he would never touch outside of his fantasies.
