Fallen for you

Part XIV

Lately I have been happy.

I woke up with a smile every day, took long walks with chicken and always searched for the sun in the sky.

All because I found out that my life isn't meaningless.

I've been told by people all of my life that I'm not special, that there are thousands like me, but it wasn't true, I was born for a reason, I was born to be a guardian, to save the life of an archangel! That must win me a place in heaven.

I was the best version of myself, the person I always wanted to be.

I was walking down the street with chicken, he'd grown so much, honestly I'm so happy I bought him that automatic refill food bowl, if I didn't he would've died when I was kidnapped.

Suddenly the sky went gray, and black pieces of burnt wood came down raining, I heard chicken howl in pain and saw him lying down on the curb with a familiar cone shaped sharp blade.

I cry and shriek so loudly that it makes my ears ring.

"What have you done?" I heard a voice from behind me.

I turn around and see Sam with a disgusted look on his face.

"First you made me kill one of my brothers, now you kill your own dog? Who's next? Are you going to kill Richard now? Or me?" he yelled as he got closer to me.

I couldn't take it, I just screamed and cried and-

"Halo!! Halo, wake up" I open my eyes with terror and see Sam sitting next to me on the side of my bed.

I sit up to look under my bed and see chicken sleeping peacefully on his bed.

I sigh and fall back on the bed, wiping my tears and sweat away.

I had a nightmare again.

Sam's been staying at my house lately, he insisted to stay close to me and make sure I'm safe at all times.

I don't say anything; I just look at Sam and turn my night light on.

I try to hold my tears back, I don't want him to think I'm sad cause it'll make him sad too.

But when he reaches out and holds my face with his hand I just lean onto it and cry uncontrollably and turn the light off so he doesn't see.

He turns it back on, closes his eyes and opens them again, they're purple now, which means he's trying to see my nightmare, and I let him.

By the faces he makes I realize that he is replaying my nightmare, and when his eyes turn back to their normal color he just shakes his head and sighs.

"Halo, how many times have I told you? It wasn't your fault, I did it, not you.

You're not a killer, stop blaming yourself." He said softly.

"I know... I think.

I can't stop thinking about it, it's torturing me.

Did I tell you I saw him?

The a couple of weeks ago, when I went out with Stew and Jen, I was drunk and I saw him, he told me that I'm pathetic and that it's my fault his dead." I cried as I held his hand that was still on my cheek.

I didn't realize how intimate our relationship is, we acted like an old married couple, and I don't even know if he feels the same way about me as I do.

He lets go of my face and grabs my hand with both of his.

"That was your subconscious with the mix of alcohol speaking.

It wasn't him, it was you.

One you stop blaming yourself for his death you won't have any more nightmares.

Did you actually forget that he almost killed you? That he kidnapped and tortured you because of ME?

If anything, it's my fault that he's dead.

And I have no regrets; I would kill him to save you every day." He said getting all upset and tense.

"What have I done to deserve you?" I think to myself, and then realize I said it out loud when he chuckles and smiles at me.

"Do you mind staying in here tonight? I'm kind of scared to fall asleep now" I say as I sit up again.

"I would love to," he says as he gets up and sit on a chair next to the door.

"Not there, you creep" I say and laugh at him.

"Come here" I say as I tap the extra bed space next to me.

"Are you sure? I wouldn't want to invade your personal space." He said as he got up from the chair.

"I don't need personal space when I'm with you" I say, which makes him smile.

Carefully he makes his way under the covers and turn around to face me.

I push his hair back with my hand,

He takes my hand in his and kisses it, then inches closer to me and does the same to my forehead.

"Goodnight, my Halo." He says as I let sleep take over me.
