Nightmare-
It was a nightmare. Everything was all just a scary dream. That had to be it, right? Yet, every time I opened my eyes nothing changed. My sister was still dead. My girlfriend still left. And I was still alone.
I closed my eyes again, wishing, wishing with everything I had that maybe this time, just maybe, something would be better.
I sighed and opened my eyes. Still noth-, wait.
"Rachel?" I asked giving the redhead a confused look.
I watched the oracle bite her lip and shuffle her feet before she spoke, "I saw you here and I figured you wouldn't want to be alone. I mean, I wouldn't want to be alone if I went through what you did but I didn't so if you did want to be alone then I could just leave. But if you didn't then um," she spoke faster with every word before she paused, "I'm rambling, right?"
I nodded, "thanks. I'm fine though." I replied giving her a smile, a fake smile, but a smile.
Maybe I shouldn't have underestimated the Oracle.
"You know," Rachel started as she sat down on the rock beside me, "it is okay to ask for help sometimes. 'Cause you are so obviously not okay."
Finally looking over at her, I see the paint splattered girl that sat next to me. The one person who had actually tried to find me, the one person who offered help instead of simply believing I was alright.
"Nightmares are always better when someone else is there, right?" Rachel asks her green eyes lighting up with concern, "well, I guess it wouldn't be so great if that someone was trying to kill you or if they-,"
"Yeah," I said cutting off her rant, "nightmares are better if there's someone else there."
And maybe my nightmare was finally ending.
