Surviving The Waves

The thick rain floods around me, my dripping clothes sticking to my damp skin. My eyes train on the dark clouds as my thoughts bounce around in my aching head. I push myself off the soggy ground with my hands on the water-speckled rusty rail and stumble through the french doors, locking them behind me. I fall onto the bed that seems too big for me without Bryson forcing himself into the middle and hogging all the covers. I slowly slip in unconsciousness immediately when my head hits the soft pillow.
A loud knock forces me to open my tired eyes and push my cold feet into the soft fuzzy boots at the side of my bed. I trudge to the door, unlocking it before slipping out and into the crisp air. Bryson leans against the railing, the water dripping from his wet hair.
"Ryl, I came here to-" He begins.
"No. You shouldn't be here." I interrupt, stepping closer to the doors.
"Please, I-", His voice rises as if he is gaining confidence as he seems to mentally cheer himself on.
"NO!"I yell before my voice cracks."No. Don't chase me until you're ready to catch me when I fall."
I turn around and sprint back inside, ignoring his pleas. I turn the lock before my back slides down the glass, sobs engulfing me entirely.
Thunder rumbles along loudly, humming with the endless tears that puddle around me on the freezing wood floor.
