Insomnia

Chapter 7.

"Jai?" Luke whispered, thinking of the familliar voice.

"Nah it's James, sorry to dissapoint you" James said chuckling.

"You don't dissapoint me..ever" Luke said tiredly and rubbed his eye.

"Not even when i dropped you today..on the stairs?" James said. Luke sat up and looked James in the eye. He had a guilty and sad expression on his face, Luke felt bad for him feeling sad.

"No not even then, sorry if i seemed pissed" Luke addmitted.

"So..we're cool?" James asked playing with his fingers.

"Yes, we are" Luke said giving James a smile. "Alright tnx for letting me know, imma let you sleep now...uhmm..goodnight"

"Night James" Luke said chuckling and watched as he saw James leave.

It was raining and storming outside. Everyone that had came trough that door was soaking wet.

Red, Blue, Purple and Yellow flowers were there to brighten the mood even tho it had no effect on the people their expression. Neither did their clothes, everyone was in black. Luke looked down at his long black blouse covered with his black jacket along with black pants and black shoes.

He looked at the mirror besides him that was build in the church.

He was pale and looked dead.

Now he noticed he was holding a white rose in his hand.

He heard sobs coming from beside him and saw a little girl crying and pulling her kness to her chest.

'Why is she crying?'

Or most importantly..

'Why was i feeling down?'

He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her in a hug. She held onto his jacket and hid her face in Luke's jacket as soon as the ceremony had started.

The sounds of a piano filled the church room in which Luke's arm filled with goosebumps.

Everyone started singing along..except for Luke. He didn't know the words, he didn't know where he was or who all these people were!

He didn't know what he was doing here!

Or..

Who was dead..

Luke let go of the girl and patted her shoulder before giving a sympathetic smile.

"Where you going?" The little girl asked stopping with singing when she noticed that Luke was standing up.

"I'll be right back" was all he said before walking towards the front of the church where the coffin was resting.

With every step he took his heart started beating faster. His hands started sweating he was nervous.

He looked to the left and right, everyone was still singing the song. Some of them were looking at him worried. Like he shouldn't be going there, but he did anyways and there was nothing! They could do.

Luke's heart stopped for a second as he noticed he was one step away from the coffin. It would only take a step to reveal who was laying there.

'You can do this..'

He couldn't

He was petrivied and stopped in his tracks.

'One step is all it takes to see him/her'

No

He turned around to go back to his seat next to the little girl who was crying and singing along still a sad but sympathetic smile playing on her lips as she noticed Luke standing there.

Do it!

Luke turned around in a quick motion and reached towards the coffin.

He looked inside and saw it!

He had seen it!

He felt his heart stop and his eyes roll back in his head and saw the colour red before it went black.

'Tonight you belong to me' the people sang as Luke dropped to the floor lifeless along with the white rose that was resting in his hand.

(Song is at the top if you wanted to have extra effect :)

-

Luke woke up searching for the breath he was looking for and started crying. He was crying cause it felt so real. He started screaming and rolling up in a ball in the corner of his bed facing the wall.

Why had he seen that!?

His breathing was uncontrollably fast as he lost his rhythm. He didn't know how to properly breath. He was choking in his words and thoughts. His finger nails digging in the wallpaper as he kept crying and waiting for his death...

His heart was crushed

He was crushed

Everything was crushed!

The door snatched open and his twin brother came trough the door.

"Luke!" He yelled as he ran up to him and pulled him upfront.

He pulled him in a thight hug, not wanting to lose his brother in some way possible.

"Sshh it's okay.." Jai whispered softly. Luke held onto Jai's shirt and burried his face in his chest.

"It was just another nightmare"
