Lachlan's POV
It was dark, so very late at night.
I was walking with my navy blue sweater and grey joggers, it was quite unlikely that id be easily noticed.
This is normal for me, that is the walking at night time part.
It was a dead silence that threw me off. Usually there trains humming in the distance across the tracks or even bugs flying and fluttering around my head.
It was as if the whole world has stopped. Like the life was ripped out of it, slowly disappearing.
It was cold. So cold and dark outside. As it was slowly becoming fall weather, the temperature was dropping.
Kind of like how my feelings were slowly on a downhill spiral. Just like the weather, i too felt dark and cold.
I felt alone in a crowded room. What was i to do about this?
Oh yeah, nothing.
The sound of rustling leafs tore me out of my head and caused me to look upwards. As i try to find where the noise came from, i feel almost a presence.
"Hello" An unfamiliar voice said. When i looked behind me, where the voice came from, i was shocked.
This boy, this handsome boy who was standing in front of me.
He had thick black hair that tapered off around his temples, falling over his ears. He had a slender figure which almost perfectly suited his pale, almost white skin tone.
"You gonna say something, Blondie?" He commended, crossing his arms.
I was taken back by this comment, i didn't even know this boy. "Uh hi? Do i know you?" I ask him, keeping my eyes down.
He was very intriguing, which almost made me scared in a way. "So whats a guy like you doing out here at night this late?" He asks, ignoring my question completely.
I finally look up again, long enough to notice something weird. He had pure black eyes. They didn't show any white, and felt as if he could see my soul.
"Y-your eyes?" I ask, stuttering from shock. He laughs it off, shoving his small hands into the pockets of his white jeans.
"Want to go grab a coffee?" He asks, ignoring my obvious confusion. I agree to go with him anyways, although that may be a bad idea.
I needed to find out more about this boy.
Time Skip
"So, what you're trying to tell me is that having mental demons and shit isn't enough? That i have to have a physical one too?" I ask, leaning into my booth.
"I mean, if that's how you want to take it, then be my guest." He said, sipping on his black coffee.
"I still don't understand why you're here. It's not like i need a literal demon." I respond, putting both arms onto the table.
"Well you looked like you needed someone to guide you. You seemed lost." He said.
His now piercing ocean eyes tore through my soul.
I don't understand why they could go from all black, to normal blue eyes. I suppose to fit in better.
I didn't know how to react to this whole situation.
Here i am, Lachlan Power, an 18 year old boy who is fighting my own battles inside, sitting across from a literal demon.
He is so handsome. His eyes make me feel nervous and his looks make me want to stare at him all day.
I get hes a demon, but something about him makes me trust him.
I feel alive with him.
I can hear the birds singing their songs.
i can feel the wind blowing through my hair and shivering over my skin.
Maybe I'm just sleep deprived or too much coffee.
I feel warm and bright with his boy, the complete opposite of what he represents. I don't get how he could just change my mood like that in such a short time, although I'm not complaining.
He takes another sip from his coffee, hair falling in front of his eyes. I reach over without thinking and brush the hair out of his eyes.
He blushes softly. A pink tint flourishes over his nose and cheeks, causing him to look even more adorable. I smile at him.
This human, or i guess demon, sitting in front of me. Maybe things will be okay, maybe my world wont be so dark forever.
"You're so handsome." I mumble, smiling at him. He just smiles slightly, taking the final sip of his coffee.
"Lets go on a walk." He says, standing up. "Wait for me outside, I've gotta go to the bathroom." I say.
When i get back out, hes gone.
Just like that hes removed from my life.
I look around trying to see if he wandered off, but no luck.
As time goes on, i did find new friends and they appreciate me for who i am.
That night will always be stuck in my head. I still feel the presence that he made me feel, i don't feel as dark as i once did that night.
Maybe I'm not alone, nor will i ever be again.
