Words: 500 + . Short. I wrote this on a notepad on my phone at 4am so it's bound to be really short orz. I'll count the amount of words later.

This is my first piece of published work and I wrote it at 4am on a bad night, so please have mercy on me if it sucks ;u;
Please review and tell me what you liked and didn't like! :-D

beyond these heavy aching feet ;

It's been so long. My heart won't stop pounding.

Thump thump thump.

The only consistent noise I can hear. It's keeping me anchored. The steady beat of my heart. So many questions are running through my mind. Haha. Running. Hilarious. That's all I've been doing for as long as I can remember. It's been so long. It's been that long.
I hardly remember what I used to do before all this running.

Soft blond hair. A raspy voice calls to me.

They come in fragmented pieces. I try to hold my memories together, put them back where they belong. It's no use. I'm getting tired.

School. Studying. Baywatch- was that my name? I remember someone calling me that. Mom. Dad. Bart. Dick. Artemis. Barry. Wally.

So many names. They've mixed together and blurred right over until I'm not even sure my own name. How long have I been running? It feels like years. I can't stop running. I know my mind will give out soon... My body will keep going... I can't stop running - or whatever this place is won't let me stop... My mind is so tired... I need to close my eyes...

Long blond hair again. My own little spitfire. The faint smell of pine. Schoolwork. So much schoolwork. I loved someone.

I need to close my eyes. My mind is about to collapse.

A warm bed - a familiarly worn pillow case. Am I dreaming? Is this heaven? It's was so warm. I could feel someone next to me. Their hair was so soft... I wish I could lie there forever.

I need to say something to that person. There was something I wanted to say. Something important.

I love you.

Who was it that I loved? I need to know this. I need to know I need to know I need to know, I have to know this.

Was it Bart?

Something in the corner of my mind tells me I loved Bart - but not in a romantic sort of way.

Dick?

I suppose I could've loved a Dick, at one time, at some point of my life. But it's not Dick.

Artemis?

The sound of their name tugs at something in my heart. It was Artemis - I know it.

Artemis. I love you.

Finally. I can rest. I've said all that I need to say. I'm so tired... My eyes are closing on their own.

The same soft bed and familiar sheets. A murmured voice whispers to me, goodnight Wally, I love you. Tired arms wrap around me, and I can feel soft hair tickling my neck. I am safe. I am warm. I can finally rest.

AN: I hope you liked it! I've very recently gotten into YJ and its making me want to cry. It's up to you to decide whether or not Wally's having a nightmare or this is what happens to him after Endgame.
