About time

[ Prologue ]

                          Carson

One thing I hate more than anything in this world.
Sleep.

Why? Because when I sleep I'm literally sending out a beacon to all my nightmares.

I might as well just wave a white flag that says ' I'm falling asleep in approximately 15 seconds nightmares , which one of you will come terrify me tonight '.

I turned again for the fifteenth time tonight,  knowing I won't get any sleep.

I sighed and it echoed back to me because of the empty house.

It's so quiet now,  usually you could hear Dads snores from the second floor but now all you hear is the wind outside.

I sighed as I gave up on sleep,  the rustling sheets noises echoing in my mind.
I haven't slept in two days now and my pills aren't working anymore.

I shook the bottle before tossing it onto my bed as I got up . Might as well go eat something to occupy time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I pressed the button on the microwave for twenty seconds as I put the leftovers from last night in there.
My tia likes to come over and brings dinner every two days because apparently she thinks I'll starve myself or something.

As if I'm not old enough to take care of myself.

The beep of the microwave brought me out of my thoughts as I walked over to fetch my food.

Looking over at the time,  i realised I had an hour before school starts .
Quickly finishing my food,  I decided to walk the long way to school instead of taking the bus.

Plugging in my ear buds,  I tuned out the rest of the world.
Taking this way remind me of my little sister Layla and I used to take this road when she wanted me to take her to the park.

Smiling slightly,  I could see her shadow running around yelling my name through the gap of her missing front teeth,  grinning ear to ear.

Blinking tears out of my eyes,  I continued on walking,  before noticing someone walking slightly further away from me

" Strange, " I thought to myself  ," no one takes this way and I've taken this path more than a thousand times ."

Shrugging it off,  I continued to walk on,  pulling my hood further into my head as I saw the school come in closer.

Ignoring the squeals of the cheerleaders and rowdy yelling of the jocks was harder than it seemed,  a year and it's still hard for me not to go in and join them . Be the happy person I was before.

Sighing I continued into the school,  quickly walking to my locker  , shoving my shit into it before walking off,  making a beeline towards the stairs.
Taking them two steps at a time, I reached the roof in no time.

But a strange sight greeted me when I went there.

There was a girl,  I didn't recognize sitting on the ledge,  swinging her legs.  Walking closer I realised she was smoking as well.

Her black hair was swirled up into a messy bun,  small droplets of moisture from the fog drawn onto her her ebony cheeks.
Her eyes,  as she turned to me,  were swallowed by big purple eye bags, although mine weren't probably any better.

She gave me a a once look over before looking me dead in the eye before gesturing something towards me. Walking towards,  I took a seat next to her,  and somehow,  I understood her unsaid question.

" want one ? "
