I woke up, sleeping next to Ryan. I was feeling drained and still tired. I felt like I had been sweating, not just a bit either. You know that feeling you get when you wake up from a nightmare; that's how I felt. I hadn't had a nightmare though, so there was no reason for me to feel that way. I brushed off my thought. Enough pondering for this morning.  

I tried to move, forgetting that I was sleeping next to Ryan with his arms wrapped around me like a snake wrapped around a tree. His grip not as tight around me as usual, but still tight enough for me not to be able to get out of his grasp. I  attempted to moved a little, trying to find a comfortable position but failing miserably and resulting in Ryan waking up.

"UGH, why'd you wake me up?" He asked yet again pissed off

I flinched thinking that he would hit me or something.

"What's the matter?" He asked sounding worried and confused at the same time

"I-eh nothing..." I replied stuttering 

"You hiding something from me?"

"No, I- I promise I'm not."

"You do know that you can tell me anything. What's on your mind?" He asked again sounding more worried

"I don't know, I'm scared of you. Just please-"

Ryan cut me off abruptly 

"Why are you scared of me?" He questioned sounding shocked and concerned 

"Y-yesterday." I stuttered 

"What happened yesterday?" He said softly

"You know what happened... you hit me!" I blurted out choking on tears

"I WHAT?! I WOULD NEVER?!" He responded shocked from my 'statement'

I was confused, I knew he had hit me... was he denying it? I didn't understand. Minutes passed Ryan and I both calmed down slightly.

"Wait... so you said I had hit you yesterday... how could I have done if I wasn't home yesterday."

"You left after you'd hit me" I answered quietly fiddling with the bottom of my T-shirt

"I was gone from 8am until 7pm..."

I suddenly remembered... he was gone the whole day yesterday... why? how? Just why did I remember as yesterday being the day he'd hit me? Was I imagining it? But it felt so real. Too real. It couldn't have been a dream. He was trying to deceive me.

Before I could talk he spoke up filling the silent room.

"Is anything on your mind? Because clearly from the facts I've given you, I didn't do that. I would never do that to you, I love you. People don't hurt the people they love, especially me."

"Nothing is on my mind..."

"Did you imagine it?"

"It was too vivid to have imagined it." I replied

"Hm, hallucinations can feel more real than you think ya know. Just keep an eye on it, if you continue to get these please, please tell me. I don't want anything bad to happen to you."

"Ok."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Pinky swear?"

"Pinky swear."

We both laughed at how childish we were being. Then we sat silently on the end of our bed, just enjoying each others presence while it lasted.

"Wanna go play Mario kart?"

"YEET!"

"I take that as a yes then" He said laughing

Time skip brought to you by this mess of a story that I've written

Here we were, the happiest couple on earth, sat on the sofa playing Mario Kart. Not the most romantic thing ever for a couple to do, you could say but this was my ideal way to spend time with him. Seeing him trying not to loose his temper with the game made me feel all soft and UWU inside. 

Ryan and I were no where as loud as Dan and Lucy playing Mario Kart. All you would hear when they were playing the game was shouting and cussing. Ryan and I were more chill, cussing under our breath every now and then. We were the chill kind of people, unlike Dan and Lucy. Dan and Lucy were more of a loud playful couple compared to Ryan and I who were more reserved, quiet and preferred to talk about life in general. Your typical couple, but happier.

I had gotten over what had gone down yesterday. If that had ever happened. I was starting to believe that I had in actual fact, imagined it all.  If that was the case or not... did it really matter?

Time Skip by 5 days bought to you by the fact I have no idea where this is going

Dan and Lucy had left after their long stay at Ryan and I's apartment a few days ago. It was a long time that they'd held company in our home but it had gone so quickly that it'd only felt like a day or so.

I was sad about it, but at least it left us some alone time. Time to do whatever we wanted without worrying if our guests were getting what they need or what they wanted to do. Lucy and Dan weren't that stressful of a guests to have since they would please their selves in doing whatever they wanted to do. They would entertain themselves. But at the same time, I couldn't help but feel the joy of now having pretty much the freedom to do anything I wanted. As much as I loved gossiping with Lucy, she could be a bit of a pain after a while, obsessing over her boyfriend every five seconds. I was also like that, but that wasn't the point. I wanted to obsess over my boyfriend to her more.

Ryan and I were continuing our life like we were before they had come over from America to visit, just that we were closer. We were getting closer and closer to each other everyday. there was never an awkward moment with Ryan, nor a dull one. My life with him was just complete. 

If i could just capture these moments forever, I would. Then again, why would I need to capture them if I had him forever? Or would I? Only time would tell.
