Friendship Stories

Demons

They saw you walking alone in the dark with your walls up high. You were alone and so were they. You cowered in the dark, afraid to speak, because you knew no one would hear you. But they approached you, quiet and gentle. You heard the sound of them tearing down your walls. Then there were footsteps.

You couldn't see them in the darkness, but you were able to feel their presence as they sat behind you without saying a word. This wasn't how you imagined you'd be rescued. You'd always thought someone would could come crashing in and tear off the chains that were holding you down. And yet, this person didn't do any of that. Nonetheless, you felt safe as you sat together in the dark.

After a while, you heard them talking. Only they weren't talking to you, they were talking to your demons. When the conversation ended you could feel the claws retreating into the depths of darkness. Your vision cleared and your chains broke. That's when you turned around to find them standing behind you.

"Who are you?" you asked.

They stared at you with a smile.

Despite not receiving an answer, you weren't disappointed because you'd been saved. You looked up at them, mirroring their smile as tears streamed down your face.

"Thank you," you said softly.

And then they disappeared.

A/N: I honestly have no idea what this is lmao. I saw this thing that kind of got to me so I wanted to write a short story about, well, this. I know it's not much and I'll probably look back and think, "what was I trying to say?"

Anyways, I'm tired and emotional yet emotionless at the same time. It doesn't make sense, I know (or maybe it does?). I hope you're safe right now wherever you are. If not, I wish you the best. Remember that with sadness comes happiness, and with happiness comes sadness. So don't worry, because tomorrow (or today if you're reading this in the morning) is a new day, and you have the ability to make it a good one. But don't stress about making things "good", just live in the moment with no worries. I'm proud of you for being alive. 

P.S.

Like I said before, I'm emotional yet emotionless. Plus, my brain is also starting to shut down so I'm processing my words slowly. By the time this is published my brain will probably be a puddle haha.

Dang, I want to cry for some reason. 

Sleep well and eat well. Please take care of yourself, you need it. Remember that you matter (and don't deny it, okay?).
