I flip through the channels on the TV. Not much is on, like, at all. This is why I prefer netflix. With tv it’s like, so many channels, yet there’s barely ever anything on. I see a figure at the corner of my eye, see a pale figure there for a second, and when I blink he’s gone. “Damn it...again..” Why can’t Reflection just leave me alone? Just...for like…a day? Is that so much for me too ask for? “Yes it is..” I hear that voice again behind me, but when I turn around, once again, he’s gone. It’s not helpful that he can read my thoughts, that’s for sure.
I am still clicking through channels. “News...news….news...news….news….Fox News….ugh….more like….no.” I mutter to myself. I’m so bored. I wish Ian would wake up. It’s so boring without him out here laughing with me. If Reflection made him sick I swear on my life, I will find a way to get him. “No you won’t.” I swear this time his eye are pitch black, but here he is. once again. “Listen, quit being so paranoid. I have not made him sick, he is just a sleepy bastard.” I begin feeling anger rush throughout my veins, “Do not...and I mean...DO NOT….ever call him a bastard again! I swear I will find a way to kick your ass! I don’t care WHAT You are! No one talks about Ian that way! Nobody!” Reflection comes closer to my ear, and whispers, “I can do more than you know. Remember Anthony…” His pale face comes closer to my ear, “Deer in the headlights..” And with that he vanishes.
I don’t know what happened afterwards, I fall asleep, and right afterwards, I remember being shaken awake. Me, being out of it, thought it was Reflection again, “LOOK CAN’T I JUST SLEEP!?!?! IS THAT TO MUCH FOR ME TO FUCKING ASK FOR CAN YOU JUST STOP HAUNTING ME JUST SO I CAN SLEEP PLEASE!?” My vision however begins to focus, as I notice it is Ian. Immediate regret washes through my body, “Oh Ian...I was having a bad dream..” Ian gives me wide eyes, “Do you wanna talk about it?” He asks. I sigh and shake my head, “Not at all.” I say. “It’s good to see you’re finally awake.” He looks amazing. His bowl hair is perfectly positioned, the dark circles have vanished from underneath his eyes, he looks...amazing. So good to see him looking healthy again. He smiles at me, “Yeah, it’s weird. The magic sleep can do, you go to bed feeling like shit and you wake up feeling like a whole new person.” I nod my head, “Yeah, I know that feeling.” I say as I rub my eyes. “Wanna watch some TV?” He asks. I nod, “Sure, if you can find anything on..” I say.
I start clicking through channels again. As I am clicking through channels, Ian places his head onto my lap. His wide blue eyes look up at me. ‘Cute.’ I think to myself. I smile at him as I continue to click through more channels. Then, I notice the TV stations stop switching, as I see Reflection once again pop up, with his finger over his lips, and he immediately vanishes away again. I jump, “Fuck!” As time starts again and Ian bounces up from my lap, “What is it!?” He asks me in fear. I breathe in and out, I really should just get used to. Ian gives me a look of concern, then stands up, “Ya know what? Let’s go out.” He says. I look at him in confusion, “Well that was sudden.” Ian shakes his head, and puts his hand towards mine, “Come on, you need to get out of the house. Let’s go have some fun.” Ian says. That actually doesn’t sound like a terrible idea. “Ya know what? Let’s do it.” I say, as I clasp my hand into Ian’s and we go to the park together.
2 Hours Later At The Park
“Yeah I get what you meant now but how was i supposed to know at the time!? We were in seventh grade!” I reply back to Ian. He laughs as I smile at his cute laughs. We’ve been at the park for two hours, and it feels so nice to be out with him. I begin to laugh as I notice a bug fly onto his face. “Oh! Let me get that off of you..” I say. “What is it??” Ian asks, with fear in his eyes. “Its just a small spider..” “SPIDER!? HOLY FUCK GET IT OFF NOW!!” Ian yells in fear. I giggle at him, as I flick it off. He’s so cute when he’s scared...is it weird I think that? I think that’s weird..oh well. “Is it gone!?” He asks. I continue laughing, “I promise it’s gone..” I say, as I glance into Ian’s eyes. He returns the glance.
We start to lean towards each others faces. Holy shit, it’s finally happening! I’m kissing Ian..holy shit is this a dream!? No way its a dream because this is actually happening! YES! While leaning in I begin to say, “Ian...I lo-” I am cut off by seeing that pale, dark eyed figure in the corner of my eye, as he screams, “DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS!” Into my ear. “No!” I say back. I scream, back away, and fall onto my back in fear. Not to long after I see Ian once again, looking at me in awe. “No??” He asks. “What do you mean no??” He asks, clearly offended. I get myself back up, “Ian no I wasn’t talking about-” Ian stands up, almost instantly, “What is this a game to you!? Is that what I am?? A game? Is that it!?!?” He asks, with tears coming out of his eyes. “Ian no I do lo-” “Shut up!” He yells, as he begins running from me.
“Ian stop!” I chase after him, only steps behind him, as he begins crossing the street, I notice an on coming vehicle. He notices and stops in his path, with barely enough time to escape. Luckily, I was right behind him, “Ian!” I yell, as I grab him, and tackle him as far away from the car as possible. It takes me a second to collect myself from what just happened, as I notice Ian in my arms, looking at me with fear in his eyes. He’s trembling. “A-a” I try to make words come out of my mouth, “Are you ok?” I ask, with my voice still shaking. He nods his head, “Ye-yeah.” He says. We are holding onto eachother for dear life now...dear...DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS WHAT REFLECTION MEANT. IAN NEARLY GETTING RAN OVER..IT WAS ALL A WARNING. After a few seconds, Ian talks again, “Thank-” I cut him off as I slam my lips into his. Sparks. We break our kiss, as I pull away we are both smiling. “You..” He finishes.
