Remember Me

Him.

It's about midnight and I'm still wide awake. I've been thinking about Him all night. Who was he? What was he doing here? Am I actually crazy?
I've also been trying to contact him but so far no luck.
I stare at the ceiling until my eyes grow heavy and begin to close. I roll onto my side and pull the pillow closer towards me. I close my eyes and begin to drift off when I hear him.
'Goodnight Kylie Darling."

I'm dreaming. But it feels so real. I'm back in the Shadow World. The space between life and death. I panic, frightened I'm back in a coma. I frightened scream rips from my throat as I spin around looking for the light, the way out. I sprint aimlessly hoping to find an exit. I can hear my pulse in my ears and my breathing is ragged.
I don't remember ever getting tired here before. Maybe it means this time I'm actually dying.
I'm sprinting so fast my feet become tangled and I face plant. I roll over onto my back and cry. I feel like a small child who lost their mom in the grocery store and can't find her. I feel pathetic but I cry anyways. I'm going to die.
'No you're not.'
His voice fills my head and I sit up.
"Where are you?" I cry out wiping tears from my face.
'I'm always here.'
"That's not an answer!" I scream jumping to my feet.
"Turn around."
I freeze when I hear His voice behind me. His physical voice. I slowly turn and look at Him.
He is easily the most beautiful person I have ever seen. Standing 6'4 with dark brown hair, blue eyes and a lip ring he looks like an angel of death. Maybe he is.
His laughter brings me out of my trance. "Angel of death? Really?" He smirks.
I blink and then blink again. Okay. "Umm who are you?" I cross my arms.
He copies me. "Luke."
"Last name?"
"Don't have one."
I glare at him "Everyone has a last name."
He grins. "Not me."
Frustration bubbles in my stomach. "Why do you think this is funny?" I yell. Not completely sure why I'm mad though. My heart is racing so fast it's scaring me.
He squints at me. "Calm down Kylie, you're okay."
Panic starts to take over and my legs give out. Laying in the mist covered Shadow World I'm reminded of the day I woke up here. Absolutely alone and afraid. My hands clutch my head as a headache begins to form. "What-the-h-hell." I scream.
Out of the corner of my eye I see Luke move towards me.
"Kylie..." His voice is wary as if he's too unsure of what's going on.
"Help." I whimper and squeeze my eyes shut.
I shiver as his cool fingers brush my temple bringing relief to the pain in my head and calming my racing heart.
His hands pry my hands away from head and force me to look at him.
"Kylie you need to wake up." He says his blue eyes worried.
"I don't know how." I answer weakly.
Next think I know He scoops me into his arms and carrying me toward the bright light. I fall unconscious before we pass through the light.
