Crying

thirteen

*Nightmare Realm* 

*Taeyong's Perspective*

I woke up next to him for the third time. He looks so much like my Ten, but with that ugly scar twisting his mouth into a Cheshire Cat like smile. 

I sat up and looked at my hands, blood stained. I got up and looked in the mirror. I was covered in blood, my scar blending in with it. I grimaced and wrinkled my nose. 

Why am I covered in blood? I don't even remember going to sleep last night! How could I be in this nightmare if I never went to sleep? It's not possible. 

I dug through my dresser drawers, the same as in the real world and pulled out a black t-shirt. I tugged it over my messy red hair and went to the bathroom. I splashed water on my face and stared at my reflection. 

He stared back at me, a confused expression on both of our faces. I frowned at myself. That scar really is disturbing on many levels. 

I carefully crept downstairs and went into the kitchen. I snatched a knife from the drawer and quietly went back to stand next to the room door. 

I waited patiently until I heard him stir. 

"Taeyong? My love where are you?" He drawled in a sing-song voice. I could imagine that hideous scar splitting to form the words. It disgusted me.

I steadied myself when I heard the doorknob turn. He opened the door and turned to me as I jumped.

"Why am I here? I never went to sleep last night! Tell me!" I screamed holding the knife to his neck. "Tell me or I'll kill you!" 

Nightmare Ten held his arms up. He chuckled and smiled, his scar stretching even further than before. 

"Kill me?" He laughed.

The knife shook in my hand. "I will kill you." I said more surely this time.

"When then I guess I'll die."

I didn't hesitate. I acted right away. But just before the kitchen knife could rip through his flesh he said;

"And Ten will die too."

I stopped inches from his heart. "Ten?"

He put a finger on the knife and lowered it. He went up to me, touching my chest, feeling my body.

"You see, my love if you kill me, your precious Daylight Ten will drop dead in the real world."

I dropped it and backed away. "Why am I here?" I tried to block out my thoughts about Ten. "I know I didn't go to sleep last night."

He paced forward and grabbed my hand. He pulled me down the stairs and sat me on the couch. He climbed onto my lap and set his head on my shoulder. I scoffed and pushed him away. "Save the fake love and tell me."

Nightmare Ten laughed that unusual laugh again and smirked at me. "Your members are so worried about you."

My face must have fallen from looking intimidating to scared because he giggled. "You see you were hit by a car. Someone wanted you dead-"

"I'm dead?!" I screamed in fear. "No no no this can't be Heaven; unless I'm in Hell!" I panicked and shook him. "I'm not in Hell right?!"

Nightmare Ten grinned. "You're not dead Taeyong. You're asleep; in a coma I mean. So now you can stay with me forever. It's more a gift than a curse in my opinion. You should be grateful to get a few moments to not worry about anything. Just spend it with me, relaxing and forgetting your responsibilities."

I slapped him and jumped up. "It's not a blessing! This is terrible! I can't be stuck with you! I hate you! You're not Ten!-"

He interrupted me. "That's right I'm not Ten. But I love you more than he ever will. See he loves Yangyang. A lot. They kiss all the time, when you're fucking Jaehyun. It was never meant to be you and Ten. But it can be me and you."

I scowled first what felt like the millionth time that day. "I don't like you, I don't like Jaehyun, I only love Ten." I pointed at him. "And you will not touch me again. This is my house too right? I will stay here but you won't lay a finger on me. The second you do I'll-"

"Kill me?" He cut my word.

A tear fell from my eye. "No, I won't kill you. Only because that would hurt the love of my life. My soulmate. My other half, I'll stop that was really cringy."

He nodded in agreement. 

"Now," I continued with fake confidence. "I'm going to go to my room. Don't follow me." I turned briskly and counted my breaths as I went up the stairs. I opened the door to our room and shut it quietly. 

I sighed and locked the door, going to the bathroom. I splashed water on my face and shook my head. I slid down in the shower and cried. I was trapped in my own personal hell, stuck with one I hate, away from the people I love. 

I reached into my hoodie pocket and pulled out the contents. My phone, a stick of old gum, and my music box Ten gave me for my birthday.

I picked it up and wound the spinner, setting it down again. The people danced and the tinkling music surrounded me. 

"I will come back Ten. I will find a way back to you.....my love."

*Daytime Realm*

*Ten's Perspective* 

I sat on the couch feeling slightly sick. Something has felt off ever since the Dreamies left to do who knows what. 

My head hurt like crazy. Like someone was inside my skull pounding on the sides to get out. I put a cold towel on my head and laid down. As soon as my head hit the pillow a sharp pain went through me. 

I bounced back up immediately. Someone was hurt, something was wrong.

"Taeyong."
