Hearing my name startled me and I found out I passed out at my desk again. She was here? I grabbed my glasses and put it on.
Seeing her again gave me a bit of relief as I sat up to see her more clearly.
âHey.â I said as she looked down at me. I quickly looked at the time and I saw how early it was. âWhatâs the matter, canât sleep?â
She shook her head.
âNot really, kinda just woke upâŚI thought Iâd sleep here. IâŚI missed you today.â She rubs her arm with her other hand and looks at me. âI want to sleep with you.â
That threw me off for a minute.
âUmâŚâ I hesitantly stare at her wanting to ask what she meant.
âI mean not that way. I just want to sleep on the bed, next to you. No sexual stuffs.â Her face got a bit red. I smirk.
âRight. Donât blame me if it leads to anything.â I say and she looks more fidgety and nervous now.
âS-shut up.â She quickly retorts and then takes off her shoes and crawls onto my bed. I turn off the desk lamp and sit for a bit more. I wonder why sheâs here so early.
âHey, really though, youâre here so early this time⌠whatâs wrong? Did something happen?â I finally ask whatâs on my mind.
I hear a slight shift in my bed.
ââŚI think we should move on, even thoughâŚit hurts us and itâll haunt us in our memories. Itâs life. Itâs a reality we gotta face and admit to, even though Iâll hate it so muchâŚand hate myself. Donât bother looking anymore.â I hear her say. I get up and walk over to the bed. I sit on the bed and then sigh softly.
â⌠Youâre giving up? Even though they meant so much to you? To me?â I could feel myself feeling a bit disappointed, and also sad.
âYeah. DibâŚwe canât go on this forever. Itâs his choice. I canât be a parasitic thorn in his side or holding him back in any way⌠itâs my fault it got like this. I made him feel usedâŚthat I wasnât serious about himâŚwhen I really was.
But, I understand how he thinks otherwise. People have done that to him and I knew that feeling because that happened to me tooâŚbut Dib, what Iâm really trying to say isâŚ
If they wanted, they wouldâve came back a long time agoâŚthey wouldnât leave and let this pain consume us⌠but I think also the reason they stay away is because I may remind them of the same pain I had them feel numerous timesâŚ
So DibâŚstop looking. I donât think we can do anything about this anymoreâŚâ Another shift in the blankets. Honestly, I didnât want to give up looking for answers. I wanted to argue and yell and get mad butâŚI understood.
ââŚOkay. But first, letâs start with this.â I hugged her. She tensed up slightly and eased into my hug.
âNext, letâs try to not dwell on this as much as we can.â I get up taking off my glasses and setting it beside the bed. I lay next to her staring up at the ceiling.
âDibâŚâ She said softly.
I felt my heart sank. My eyes widened and I felt everything stop. Then I felt arms wrap around me this time. AndâŚthen, a soft unexpected kiss.
She started to pull away, but I hugged her tightly. I felt tears streaming down my face as I just felt everything inside of me come undone. Everything just poured out as I cried into her chest.
We stayed like that for a while until she hugged me back and buried her face into my chest. After a long ânother while, she fell back asleep.
I tucked her in under two more blankets. I put an arm over her side and hugged her.
"⌠Love you tooâŚâ I whispered back.
