Please don't go (On Hold)

I'll see you there

David’s pov

“I can’t do this anymore. I just can’t do this with you anymore.” It’s been months since Sarah’s been taken away, and the police still haven't found anything to find her and the others. Lately I haven't been able to sleep, let alone go out anywhere except school and occasionally to get food when I run out. But each time I go out, all I can see is a faint Sarah, walking away from me and smiling. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but ever since she was taken, i’ve just completely shut down. I find myself sitting against a wall in the dark, staring at the ceiling, picturing what she’s going through. I’ve become paler and bags have formed under my eyes. All my friends say i’ve gotta get over it, that this isn’t healthy. Jack visits me often, bringing over our favorite movies and snacks, sitting me down and keeping one part of me alive. He’s even pitching in to help the case, going around with flyers of the girls, asking if anyones seen them as he rides his skateboard to school or to the park. But still, after he leaves I go right back to my depressed state. And Siera, ugh, she’s worse than ever. She comes over every day, whining about how I don’t hang out with her anymore and about how Sarah’s just a freak, a nobody who deserves nobody’s time. And today, I just snapped.”I am done with you Siera, I want you out.Now!” I point at the door, glaring at her, waiting for her to get out.”But Davey, we can work this out-” “No we can’t, and you know why?! Because I don’t like you Siera, you’re just someone going out to complain and giggle and be ugly to everyone! And I don’t want to hear it anymore! So get out!” I watch as she opens her mouth to say something, then glares at me and stands up.”You’re making a very big mistake, NO ONE dumps me!” “Well then let me be the first.” She stomps over to the door and slams it, and I can hear her yelling at somebody as she takes the elevator. I sigh and sit down on the couch, resting my head on my hands. I look out the window at the stars, surrounding the moon. I can feel sleep tugging at me, willing me to close my eyes. Soon enough, I give up and close them, drifting off…

For some reason, in my dream, I was brought to some field, with a creek running in the middle. I look around and then at my hands. It’s strange, i’m actually myself in here, in this dream i’m controlling what I do. I look and see a figure with their back turned to me, looking down at the creek. When they turn to me, I see that it’s...Sarah. I just stand there, staring at her, then soon enough I realize i’m running towards her, panting and tripping over upturned rocks. Soon enough I reach her, standing there and panting, staring at her smiling face.”Hi David, it’s nice to see you again…” I don’t know how to respond, I don’t know if this is just a weird dream or if i’m actually somehow talking to Sarah. So I do the only thing I can think of. I pull her to me and hug her.”Sarah, i’ve been worried about you. Please, don’t go. Don’t leave me….” I bur my head in her hair, tears streaming down my face. And suddenly, there was a bright flash. And then, nothing as I open my eyes and see the sun flowing in through the windows, signaling a new day, with new obstacles…….
