The next day...
My eyes flicker open to see, Ian? We didn't exactly fall asleep in each other's arms or anything. We hung out for the rest of the day, said goodnight, then went to bed. What's he doing in here? It's not like I mind or anything, I'm just curious. Ian looks up at me. Apparently he wasn't asleep.
"O-oh...I...um..." Ian stammers, looking down. There's dark circles around his eyes, his hair all messed up in an unordinary fashion..."Are you alright?" I ask, completely ignoring the fact that he wasn't in my bed when I went to sleep. I mean, what if this is because of Reflection? Is Ian sick? Is he dying? I don't fucking know because he is so goddamn confusing and straight up evil! Ugh. "I couldn't get any sleep, so I came in here," Ian tells me embarrassed, looking down, heat rushing to his cheeks quickly. "It's alright, but you should really try and sleep." "But it's like morning no-" "No, you need to sleep," I say, probably a bit too harsly. I just don't want Ian to die and stuff... "Sorry, sorry...I just value the importance of sleep?" I make up an excuse. "Umm okay?" Ian chuckles a little bit, somewhat confused. "But seriously, please get some sleep," I beg him. "Alright, I'm not here to argue," Ian looks up at me. Our eyes lock again, and we get into that sort of trance again.
This has been happening a lot lately. It has just sort of...happened. You know? Ian nuzzles into me, closing his eyes. "I...." The rest of his words are muffled against my chest. "Sorry...what did ya say?" I ask. "N..ver..nd," Is all I can hear. But I assume he said "never mind."
I wait until he falls asleep, which took a while to be honest. I slip out of his arms and replace myself with a pillow. Ian rests peacefully. Damn him, why does he have to be so cute while he sleeps? When I sleep I look like a zombie who just got dumped. Anyways, I walk out of my room to see, goddamn fucking reflection. "What the fuc-" I start yelling, but then I blink...and he's gone. Must be my imagination...I must be going insane. I walk towards the refrigerator. A messy haired Ian emerges from my room. "What's with the yelling?" He whines, rubbing his eyes. "Sorry I just...um..saw a rat..." When Ian heard this, he immediately jumped onto the couch. "Is it still around here?" Ian asks me. "No..no..don't worry. I got it out of the house and stuff.." I make up another lie. One lie after the other. Cover up one lie with another. Once you make a small white lie, you can't stop. They are teensy little lies, but all of them build guilt in your stomach. Or, you might say that the guilt grows.
"Are you sure you're okay? Any pain in your face from yesterday? Anything?" "No, no. I'm okay, Mom..." Ian jokes. "I'm going back to bed, good...um...morning I guess." "Good morning," I smile at him, as he walks back to my room.
I turn around and Reflection is standing two feet away from me. I blink, and once again...he has disappeared. God, this is gonna drive me insane. Especially since every time I see him appear, his eyes are even darker, his skin definitely paler than mine. A wide grin on his face, mischievous. Can't this guy just leave me the fuck alone?! Please?
Once another day has passed...
How the fuck was Ian able to sleep through all of yesterday? Is something wrong with him? Anything? I hope not. "Calm your tits," I hear that familiar voice ring throughout my ears. "It's just a little sleep trouble. It's none of my doing." "Fuck off...it's too early for this," I tell him, harshly. Then, I feel a sharp pain in my leg. I yelp and hold my leg. Fuck that hurts! "I wouldn't think about crossing me Anthony." "Can you just let me be for one day?" I ask, scrunching my nose up in pain. "But that wouldn't be any fun now would it? Besides....I should warn you about events that are coming up at you...and they are coming goddamn quick. Straight at you. When you see them, you'll look like a deer in the headlights. Completely shaken. Have fun with that?" He laughs, fading into darkness, which fades into the shadow of the corner of my room. I don't even understand this fucking guy.
