Chapter 2: In My Head

Luke layed on his bed. He had stayed like that for a few hours after he had broken down earlier that day. He was glad that no one was home. He wouldn't have wanted his parents to hear him cry. He didn't want them to try and cheer him up. Why does everyone want him to cheer up? Isn't it his own decision?

Luke sighed as he pushed his head into the pillow. He rubbed his eyes. He realized how tired he really was. He yawned quietly to himself. His eyes closed slowly.

"Luke." A sudden voice made Luke jump up from his bed. His tired eyes tried to find the source of the sound. He froze suddenly when he saw Reid Oliver standing by the doorway.

Reid Oliver was wearing his white hospital gowns. Luke could see blood stains that were still on his face. He blinked a few times to see if Reid was actually there. When he opened his eyes he sighed sadly seeing that Reid wasn't there. He could have sworn he had just saw Reid. Maybe it was his mind playing tricks on him. He closed his eyes and layed his head on the pillow.

"Luke. Wake up." Luke's eyes shot open he nearly jumped off his bed when he saw Reid laying down next to him.

"No...No your dead. You can't be here." Luke whispered as he got off his bed and slowly walked to the door.

"Luke. I am here." Reid said quietly as he pushed the blanket off him. He got up from the bed and followed Luke slowly.

"No. Your not. I saw you die Reid. Your dead." Luke said. Reid walked closer to him. He reached out and he brushed his fingers against Luke's cheek he gasped when his fingers went right through Luke.

"I..I can't touch you." Reid whispered to himself. He could feel tears prick in his eyes. He wanted so badly to touch Luke. To make Luke know that he wasn't alone. He clenched his hand into a fist and looked away from Luke.

"I..I'm so sorry Luke." He said in a broken hearted voice. He walked over to the bed and sat down on it. He closed his eyes tightly. He didn't want to cry in front of the one he loved. He desperately wished that he could have said those three words before he left. But he couldn't. He loved Luke so much but he just couldn't say it.

"I'm sorry too Reid." Luke said quietly. He walked over to Reid and sat on the bed next to him.

"I love you Luke. I love you so much. I..I'm sorry I didn't listen to you. I'm sorry that we had that fight. I never meant anything I had said to you." Reid said.

"It's not your fault Reid. I should have done something. I should have forced myself to come with you. I should have stopped you but I couldn't. I was too angry and upset." Luke finally said.

"I wish things would have been different Luke. But, I don't want you to grief over me. I want you to move on and be happy. I don't want to watch over you and see you keep being upset. I need you to promise me that you'll be happy. You have to promise me." Reid pleaded. Luke looked away. He didn't want Reid to see the tears that were starting to form in his eyes.

"Luke. Please." Reid said softly. He brushed his ghost fingers onto Luke's which caused him to shiver. He could hear the pleading tone in Reid's voice. He couldn't say no.

"Okay, I..I promise." Luke whispered. He bit his lip from sobbing. He could feel his chest heaving in and out.

Reid stood up from the bed. He brushed his fingers into Luke's dirty blonde hair. He really wished that he was able to do that for real. He didn't want to leave Luke but he knew he couldn't stay that much longer.

"Please, don't leave." Luke whimpered. He tried to lean into Reid's touch but his heart shattered when he couldn't feel Reid's soft fingers touching him.

"I'm sorry Luke. But I have to go. You have to move on. Please move on. For me Luke." Reid whispered in Luke's ear. He desperately wished that he could hug Luke. Give Luke some kind of hope.

"I love you Reid." Luke sobbed. He wrapped his arms around himself to keep himself from collapsing. Reid's heart broke when he heard Luke sob. He hadn't heard Luke sob since Luke found out that Noah might not make it to the surgery.

"I love you too Luke. I'll always be here. I'm not gone. My heart will always be with your. My mind, my lips, my body everything will always be here. Just because I'm not here physically doesn't mean I'm not here mentally."Reid said. He could feel himself vanishing from Luke's room. He gave Luke one last smile before vanishing completely.

Luke sniffled as he sobbed into his pillow for what seemed like the tenth time that day. "I love you Reid."He whispered to himself as he closed his eyes slowly and his mind went blank.
