Hey here's an idea I had since all you guys love my fics. It's an idea born from my own thoughts and feelings that I go through when I have one of my sleepless nights.

Enjoy your look into my mind.


Kim's POV

There's something strange about knowing that you're the only one awake in the middle of the night.

I mean sure there's over a billion people in the world, but when you live in a local community where the only other people possibly awake could be workers on the night shift, you can't help but feel especially...alone.

It's one of those nights where you can't sleep and you've gotten bored of all forms of entertainment so all you can do is lie back and think. And that's when things start to go bad.

I've been sleepless for about a week now, my sudden case of insomnia hitting me hard during the day while I lie here unable to drift off for even a few measly minutes. At first all I did was listen to music and think about the different stories behind the songs. That managed to get me between four and two hours sleep; not enough to be healthy, but enough so that nobody suspected anything.

But as the days and nights came and went, I slowly noticed the time I spent asleep was slowly getting smaller and all the songs on my iPod started to run into each other and sound slurred and dull in my ears. In response to that I decided to catch up on my reading which lasted a day. After that I caught up on any school work, even overtaking the teacher on the subjects.

Now I was just lying here, letting my mind wander.

What was wrong with me? I've always been able to sleep so what's changed now? It's four A.m. and I'm still awake. What's changed? Nothing that I can think of.

This is weird...It's exhilarating, yet boring. Calming, yet my hearts pounding. I feel so...alone here in the dark. I have four walls surrounding me, blankets covering and protecting me and yet I feel anything could hurt me just by saying hello.

What's wrong with me?


I slouched against my locker, my eyes heavy from another sleepless night. While I was used this now I don't know how long I can keep it up without collapsing in the middle of the day.

"Kim?" I snapped to attention, hitting the back of my head against my locker.

"Ow," I moaned, rubbing my head as I looked to see who my verbal assaulter was. I looked up to see a concerned looking Jack staring worriedly down at me.

"Kim are you ok?" he asked quietly.

"Huh? No I don't have a cousin named Ray," I mumbled, heading for the doors to the school.

"What? No! Kim I asked if you were ok," Jack said, running to catch up with me. I stopped at the door, turning to look at him.

"Yeah Jack I'm fine. Why do you ask?" I said, trying and failing to keep the exhaustion out of my voice.

"Because you look like a zombie," he said in a plain voice.

"Way to make a girl feel special Jack," I mumbled, turning to walk outside.

"Kim wait!" Jack cried but it was too late. Some idiot coming the other way from me had already opened the door, causing it to crash into my face as I went to walk out. I tumbled backwards, onto my ass while I'm pretty sure a big red mark spread across my forehead.

"Ohhhh God that hurts," I moaned, rubbing my head.

"Kim?" the voice sounded like the person was speaking underwater. I turned my head, my vision blurring so that instead of looking up at Jack, I was looking up at a giant splodge. "Kim say something!" Jack said hurriedly, kneeling down next to me.

"I don't feel good," I mumbled.

"Come on, I better get you somewhere safe," Jack said, trying to pull me up. I couldn't move, my legs feeling like jelly.

"Jack," I groaned. He looked down at me before sighing.

"Come here," he said, opening his arms.

"Weren't you listening? I can't move," I groaned, my head throbbing. He chuckled before scooping me up in his arms married style.

"Ok Kim, I'm taking you back to mine where dad can take a good look at your head," he said as we started to walk.

"I'm sleepy," I mumbled.

"Then sleep," Jack whispered back.

"I can't," I answered.

"Why?" he asked, slowing slightly.

"I don't know why."
