Wake up (BrightWin)

W i n ' s

Hanging up in the library will always be my hobby. If my class finished early, or our Professor failed to attend our class, even when I feel too lazy, I often go here. This is the place where you can put yourself at ease.

It was nine p.m and yet I'm still here. The midterm wasn't a joke after all. I was reading a book and I can't help myself but smile because the story was so interesting until a guy caught my attention. I squirmed at the back of my chair and take glanced at the guy who was crying.

It was him.

I even feel shameful for what I had done last week.

Sometimes, when you can't handle the pain and for you to be able to be at ease and be fine, you have to cry. I whiningly cried beside him last week and I fucking regret it. He looked at me and his face turned into a frown. But I can feel his sincerity as if he knew what I need to and what I want to hear.
I am a hostage of my past and still, I can't move on to the bad memories I experienced.

When I saw Mr. Bright, he was sleeping but he is crying. This is the first time I saw a stern lion crying. At first, I don't want to disturb him.

"Mom no please don't leave me"

"Mom" He shouted.

I ran into his place and grabbed the water I bought from the cafeteria and gave it to him.

I wake him up
"Have some water. You fell asleep and had a dream. Sorry if I disturb you but you are crying and calling your mom so I decided to wake you up." I said trying to be cool in front of him.

I can sense that he'll be going to kill me for what I did. Why?. I just tried my best to help him. I can't just let him cry because of a nightmare.

He stood up from his place and left the library running. I was going to follow him but my urge tells me it's a bad idea to follow a stern lion. I might end up being embarrassed to myself so, I decided to stay in the library for a few more minutes. Few people are in here and the air was too cold that's why I wear my jacket and continue reading the book entitled Love and Gelato. It's about a girl who's currently chasing the past of her mom in Italy.

I can't focus on what I'm doing because I keep on thinking about Mr. Bright, that's why I decided to go home, take a rest because tomorrow will surely be a hell day. As usual.

The rain fell so hard and it's a good thing, I always have my umbrella in my bag. The street was dark and it's very creepy but I'm used to it so it's pretty normal to me, unless a wild creature will block my way.

Wait, what? Is this real?

I saw a lion on my way and he's all wet. I saw Mr. Bright. His polo shirt and his bag got wet. I feel suddenly pity him

I run fast-paced and I immediately shared my umbrella with him.

This is awkward, I can feel the heat in my face. I am blushing. His face was too close to mine.

"Why do you keep on following me?" He viciously looks at me. I glance into his eyes like how thunderstrike the sky.

"It's just a coincidence that we are on the same street." I cooed to him trying not to be awkward.

"What do you want from me?"

I don't know what to say, I mean, it is not my intention to follow him and he's accusing me. Why would i do that? What a shame.

"I want you," I said and you can see his face in a state of shock and confusion "I want you to go home and take a rest"

"I want you to stop following me," He said and left me with my umbrella. It was still raining and he continued walking until he was swallowed by the dark.

He has bright skin
He has bright smile
He has bright eyes
and yet his name is
Darkness.

His name is too odd for his personality.
