NIGHTMARES COME TRUE
NIGHTMARES COME TRUE
By Chelsea Evans
Kennedy came home one night and she was smashed. She slowly made her way to the bathroom.
Willow woke up when she saw a light come on in the bathroom. Then she smelled alcohol. She knew immediately that Kennedy had been out drinking. She couldn't understand it, she thought Kennedy was happy. So why all of a sudden was she going out and drowning her sorrows in beer?
Kennedy came out of the bathroom to find clothes, but before she could go back in the bathroom, Willow called out softly to her.
"Why are you drinking?" Willow asked puzzled. She didn't answer, but Willow saw that her face was really red from crying. "What's up?" Willow asked as she got up from the bed and pulled Kennedy into a hug.
Kennedy started to cry, first softly then her knees buckled and she collapsed to the ground crying harder.
Willow went down beside Kennedy, hugging the sobbing girl.
Kennedy managed to choke out, "She died." Willow saw the confusion and complete sadness in the girls' eyes. "Who baby, who?" Willow asked quietly and calmly.
"R..R..Ro..Rona." Kennedy sobbed. Willow felt as if something inside her was falling, falling, leaving her forever. "Rona?" Willow whispered. "How did it happen?"
Kennedy didn't say anything for over an hour. Willow didn't mind though.
She calmed down enough to talk to Willow. "Well, we were patrolling, and then a great big orange demon came. We tried to fight, but five others came. Then, then.." but Kenn couldn't go on. Her eyes filled with tears once more. "Shhh. Don't worry it's all over now." Willow whispered.
Kennedy stopped crying enough to take a shower. Willow knew Kenn was not in the mood for anything, and to be honest neither was she. She walked beside Kennedy and led her into the bathroom. She helped Kenn get into the shower, seeing as her legs were so wobbly. She got in there finally, with Willows help. She could tell that Kennedy was still quietly crying. After about 20 minutes, they got out. She helped Kennedy get dressed and then Willow led her to bed.
Kennedy had stopped crying by now, and laid down facing the wall. Willow put her hand around Kenn's waist and the other one propped up on the elbow, so she was looking down at Kenn's face.
"Shhh, baby it's going to be okay." Willow quietly whispered trying to stop her shaking. . Willow felt Kenn's back relax. "Promise?" Kenn asked a little scared. "Promise. But it's going to take a little time." Willow soother her girlfriend.
"I love you." Kenn said.
"I love you too." Willow said then kissed Kennedy. Kennedy wanted it to be a little more, but was still so sad so she kept it a light peck.
"Come on baby. Let's get some sleep." Will said. "'K. "Kenn replied.
And in minutes they were asleep.
