Never Let Me Go
One
My dream was what woke me up at 4 a.m. on Tuesday morning. I couldn't even remember it once I was awake, but tears had stained my face and mascara covered my pillow.
Then suddenly, all I could hear was somebody playing the drums. Really loudly. In the room right next to mine. I groaned. This was going to be a long morning.
I got out of bed and opened the door. The hallway light was off, but I could make out two figures. Rian and Jack, attempting to mosh.
'I should have guessed it was you guys,' I half mumbled, half croaked.
'Hey sis!' Rian yelled. I could smell the alcohol in his breath.
'Hey Ri, you guys actually woke me up you know,' I said, putting my hands on my hips.
'Aw chill out babe,' Jack slurred. 'Sorry.' And he gave me the biggest puppy dog look he could muster. I couldn't help but laugh.
I found my way to the bathroom and closed the door, sighing.
The mirror showed my face to me, a black mess from my make-up.
Suddenly there was a knock on the bathroom door and Rian came in.
'Are you okay?' he said, and then his eyes widened. 'Sun, what happened to your face?!'
'It's just make-up Ri, I woke up crying from a dream, no idea what about.'
'You're okay though?' As he pulled me into a hug.
'Yeah,' and I hugged him back. He was definately my favourite.
Five minutes later, I was back in bed, on the edge of sleep, when my door opened and somebody jumped in my blankets.
'Hey,' he whispered.
'Alex?' I asked.
'Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to wake you.'
'It's fine.'
His hand found mine and our fingers tangled together.
'I missed you while we were on tour, Sun,' he said quietly.
'I missed you too, Alex. I always miss you.'
I sighed and rolled over, our hands leaving each other.
'Hey,' he said, wrapping his arms around my waist. 'What's wrong?'
'Nothing,' I said, and his arms got tighter.
'Tell me, please,' he whispered at my ear, kissing it.
I rolled back towards him and kissed his lips softly.
'Nothing, pinky promise.'
His lips came crashing down on mine, my body went into spasm.
Our clothes fell off and we were in our own world.
I just wish he knew how much I wanted it forever.
