"It's My Fault" - Damian Wayne
The Sequel to Sleepover 💐
Whatever Jon has seen in his nightmare had came to pass. Only, this time, the heroes were ready for it. But not everyone had a victory. After the battle, Jonathan Kent was rushed to a hospita...
While Monica checks on Jon's conditions, I got on my feet and walked towards the window, looking through it. The sky is still pouring, thunder roaring, leaves from trees are dancing with the wind, and people walking in and out of the hospital. I rest my elbows on the windowsill and my chin in my palms as I replay flashbacks of the times me and Jon spent.
5 minutes later.
Monica: Damian?
Damian: ...
Monica: Damian...
Monica pulled me back to reality. I realised my eyes were burning because I haven't blinked for a while. After pulling myself together, I turned to my right to see Monica standing in the same position as me. Her elbows were resting on the windowsill, but her hands were gripping her arms. Her glossy lips smiling and her dark eyes staring into mine.
Monica: Gloomy weather huh...
Me: (turned his head back to look outside) usually I love these kind of weather. But right now, it doesn't feel the same.
Monica: I know sweetie.. I know.. (looking outside and sighed).. so, whatca thinking?
Me: Nothing, just flashbacks of the two of us.
Monica: (smiling) Huh... well, are they happy ones?
Me: Maybe.. Depends on the person's point of view. Mine, I don't know...
Monica: I'd love to hear one of them...
Me: (silent)
Monica: it's alright, if you don't want to...
I planned on just keeping silent.. but then I remembered an advise Raven once told me. She said it's good to talk to someone when I'm feeling angry, or hurt. It helps to ease up the feeling I'm containing in me. During that time, I thought it was bullsh!t... but these days, it couldn't be more true. I took a deep breath and begin telling her a flashback of mine.
Me: There was that one time where we took a trip to Ohio's Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The Bat and Superman family were all excited to go on that trip. We left from Gotham around 7 in the morning, and were expected to arrive at our destination within 2 hours. But it turns out, it took longer than that due to the heavy traffic between Starling City and Central City. Me, Jon, Batman, and Nightwing took a car of our own. The others did the same too. I felt bored because there was nothing to do... Jon was sleeping since the time he got in the car, Nightwing was using his Ipod and father was too focused on traffic.
Monica: Don't you play games in your phone?
Me: I played it for almost an hour... it soon became really boring.
Monica: I see... then what you did?
Me: Nothing. I didn't want to wake Jon up or disturb my father and brother so, I just kept staring outside the window. After minutes of staring, I felt arms wrapped around my waist. It was Jon's arms, and he was still asleep. He was hugging me like I'm some sort of bolster... by looking at him, I decided to sleep too.. since I've got nothing to do. I took my phone and plugged in my earphone. I placed one earbud in my ears and the other in his. I played some peaceful music to block out the traffic noises from outside. In no time, I began dozing off..
