"She was the gunslinger." A mother read to her child
"Goodnight my sweet Lilly"
I shot up in my bed in a cold sweat, these were back to bite me in the ass. The nightmares.
I stood up and opened my door shuffling to the kitchen, Tim sat at the table sipping something and I went to the fridge pulling out the milk and pouring a cup
"Why are you awake?" I asked and he hummed
"Can't sleep" He replied
"Me too."
Then there was an awakened silence
"Sorry for everything." I apologized and he shrugged not replying, I returned the milk to the fridge and stared at him
Overwhelmed by anger and frustration and curiosity, why isn't he reacting?
I slammed my fist on the table and he looked at me
"Bipolar much?" He sighed and I glared
"I apologized and your still a dick!" I hissed and he raised an eyebrow
"We're back on this? On your bullshit? Listen you've changed a lot from when we first met, so take this as a we're not friends, we're not soulmates, whatever the fuck is in your pea brain, and fuck off will you?" He snarled and I clenched my jaw
Serene appeared next to me "That was a hit to the jaw."
Then I felt my face flush, he began speaking again
"And don't think for a second I would ever get back with a deranged, cowardly, obsessed, thieving, FREAK like you" he spat and my eyes began to water
"Don't cry don't cry it shows your weak" serene whispered into my ear, it was to late he already caught the tear slipping from my eye
"Hey, hey, hey, don't cry" he said standing up but I backed up
"I didn't mean it- Well I did but- some of it was a bit overboard" he apologized but I clenched my fist and ran to my room

"What did she do mommy?" I asked and she flipped the page
"She well she was a good guy I guess. Helped people. In weird ways." My mother replied and I smiled
-
"Damn it!" I yelled slamming my fist into a mirror
"Hey! Hey! Calm down" serene said and I just shut her out slamming my fist into more objects
"I was a fool to fall into my emotions" I snarled and looked at my destruction
"He deserves nothing but- but...his life back" I mumbled letting my fake facade fall away like freshly fallen leaves
"Damn me and my emotions"
