To Help or Not to Help

Prompt by: MachoNachoKennedy

"Love, wake up. Breakfast is ready"

You pouted and shook your head. Not wanting to stand up and get out of bed for food.

"No breakfast in bed? Come on! Aren't you cold?"

"Lazy ass."

"I know for a fact that you happen to love my lazy ass.'

Your wife chuckled as you held her a little tighter so she wouldn't push you away and stand up. One second she's laughing at your antics and the next you're covered in her blood. You start shaking and your vision starts to blur but you force yourself to focus on your wife.

"Baby?! Wake up! Baby, no!"

You wake up with a jump, terrier of what you had seen. Your heart is racing and you're all sweaty.

"Nightmare?"

A voice suddenly calls out in the dark. It scares you for a second and then you realize it's Lena.

"Wha the fuck are you doing here?!"

You yelled, still trying to catch your breath.

"I can't possibly touch you to wake you. That would just be a waste of time."

She sees that you're still tense and helps you calm down. Telling you to take deep breaths until your heart has calmed down enough.

"Thank you."

"No problem."

She says with a smile. It stays quiet for a moment and then she starts to speak.

"Listen, I'm sorry about awhile ago. I should've..."

"Forget it. It's okay. I'm fine."

You climb out of bed and head to the fridge to get a beer. It was the only thing that helped you forget everything and that's exactly what you needed. To be drunk enough to sleep peacefully.

You're 3 cans in when you realize that you didn't have anymore.

"Fucking hell."

Heading to your room, you change into some decent clothes and head to the nearest bar.

"You can't seriously go out there like that. You're fucking drunk. You can't drive."

"I'll just walk."

You head out of your apartment, ignoring her yells as she tries to stop you.

"Just turn around and go back to bed. You're already drunk enough."

Lena tell you again as she blocks the entrance.

"Oh yeah? What are you going to do? Stop me?"

You answer her, making a few people give you strange looks when they see you talking to yourself. The bartender doesn't say anything when you order two scotchs for yourself.

"Look, alcohol is not the answer."

"Fuck you!"

Lena tries to convince you to go back home but you just continue ignoring her. As the drinks arrive, you're about to take a sip of one when you suddenly can't move anything.

"Well I'm surprised that worked."

You hear Lena in your head. It makes you jump to all of a sudden hear her in your thoughts that you accidentally spilled your drink on the woman besides you.

"I'm sor...."

The woman just slaps you before you even have a chance to apologize.

"Did she just fucking slap us?"

Lena, controlling your body, slaps the woman back. This causes for chaos to break lose and before you knew it, you were being handcuffed and taken to the station. You're there for an hour as Margarita was there to save your ass.

"Why are you still here?!"

You ask her when you walk in.

"I've been asking myself the same question. You're the only one who can see me and I'm helpless as fuck. Why?!"

"I don't know and I don't want to know. Just leave me alone."

Lena sighs as she starts to fidget with her fingers.

"Can I make a confession?" She says. "When I'm not with you, I feel like I don't belong here. It's like...I never existed. Shit! Am I dead?!"

It takes all your energy to no slam your head on the wall. She was really testing your patience. How did it take her so long to finally realize what you've been trying to tell her.

"I can't remember a single thing about me." She continues. "I'm trying to but nothing comes to mind. I just can't do this alone."

You sigh, knowing exactly where this was heading. She was going to ask for your help.

"Okay, I get it but I'm not going to help you."

"Oh, come on! Just a little help."

"No. Do you realize that I got arrested because of you. Now everyone thinks I'm a fucking lunatic."

"Listen, here's two realities to chose from. One, a woman who doesn't know a thing about herself has come to your life and happens to need your assistance. Two, that same woman might continue to bother your, interfere with your life, drive you mad. Then you'll really be a lunatic."

"So what I'm hearing is that I don't have a choice and I need to help you?"

"Exactly! Now you're getting it."

"Fine. But after we figure out your life. I'm done. I don't want to see you around my apartment anymore. I don't care what you do after, just leave me alone."

"We'll see about that."

You rolled your eyes at her, making her smile. How did this dead woman managed to make you do her bidding.

"Alright! Lets find out who I am!"
