Y/n's POV
Death. It's all consuming like a tidal wave that you didn't know was coming. My eyes feel sealed as if they were glued shut. I pull at them with everything I've got, but still nothing.

All at once there open, a dark crimson red washes over me, once I can see clear again I'm in the middle of the street. There's cars rushing by, fast. It feels familiar yet I can't quite remember, my mind feels fuzzy. A car comes rushing towards me head on I feel my grip on my shirt tightens and I try and close my eyes bracing for impact, except they won't close they stay open. I feel almost as if I can see 360, right as the car is feet away from me I see it. My mom. As if in slow motion a car that seemingly comes out of nowhere comes rushing by slamming into my mothers.

I Awake from my sleep in a cold sweat, Tears streaming down my face. I bounce out of bed and sprint to the bathroom, forgetting to slip my shoes on my feet send shivers up my spine from the cold touch of the hard wood floor beneath my feet. Once i'm in the bathroom I wrap my hand around the knob and slam the door shut, forgetting the others sleeping down the hall I approach the sink. I slowly lift my head, pieces of my C/h falling into my face. "i'm a mess." I say staring threw my own eyes in the mirror. A laugh comes from my mouth. Swiftly I place my hand in an attempt to stop the laughter filling the small bathroom. Its not a laugh of joy, more of pain. I began to laugh louder until the laughter slowly fades into a sob. At this point i'm on the floor clutching my knees to my chest.

My sobs began to grow louder when I hear a knock echo throughout the room. All at once I completely stop breathing, dead silence. When the knocking continues I finally get off the floor attempting to dry my face on the sleeves of my shirt. I open the door, Casper. For a moment we both just stand there waiting for someone to make the first move. tears slowly begin rolling down my face. At this sight Casper takes me in his arms and holds me. We fall to the floor in a Small creak of the old wood floor. and in complete silence we sit there embracing each other. Without even asking or questioning he knew, He didn't even think twice about it he was there for me. And in those few minutes he had made me feel safe like I was no longer alone, and It was the truth I was no longer alone in the darkness. I had a partner to stand with me. I wrap my limp arms around him, never wanting to let go.

After what felt like hours of silent hugging I pull my self together and let go of him. He stares into my Eyes as we sit in silence. "It's gonna be ok." Casper says undoubtedly. He's so sure it makes me believe his words are true. "I know." He says. And I finally realize he's so sure because he's been threw this before. I grab his hands in my own. "Thank you." I say tears welling in my eyes. " for what?" Casper says. He actually looks confused as if he doesn't know what he's done for me? " for being sure, for being there." I say. " oh yeah, I knew that!" He says. I laugh.

Suddenly there's a creaking from the hallway.
We both stand up quickly. As the sound gets closer I lean into Casper for protection instinctively. As the door slowly squeaks open I tense up. The open door reveals Kat looking exhausted behind it. " what's going on?" She says groggily and confused. I relax at the sight of kat. " oh sorry if we woke you up!" I say. " alright we'll go to bed please, and let me sleep."
"Yeah." After kat leaves I head back to bed. As Casper starts to exit my room I grasp his hand. "Could you stay here. With me?" I say. He turns to me nodding. He goes to grab a blanket and pillow. After he leaves I began to think of the events that happened tonight. Oh god I can't believe he saw me crying thats embarrassing. When he returns he sets his blankets up on the floor which leaves me disappointed but I don't show it. As I start to drift of to sleep my hand falls dangling off the side of the bed, I'm about to pull it back up when I feel his hand grasp mine. We fall asleep like that.
