My eyes opened and everything was blurry from crying. Strange. My head was fuzzy with pain. I blinked away the tears and allowed them to roll down my face. What happened just now exactly? When I could see clearly I saw an angelic face staring intensely at me. His face only inches from my own looking down at me concerned. His white hair fell around his face like a veil separating me and him from the rest of the world. I had realized that I was paying way too much attention. I felt the heat in my face showing brightly against my skin. "Clear." I saw almost inaudibly. "You passed out when we were talking and you were crying in your sleep and I was worried, Aboa-san." He said, but his eyes spoke differently he knew more than he cared to admit. "I don't know what happened. We were talking and then my head." I said as I reached for my head. Clear grasped my hand gently yet firmly and removed it from my head back to my side. "Clear." I said. You could hear a bit of confusion in my voice and a bit of nervousness. "Shh. Relax and hold still." He said as he brought two fingers to either side of my head and put firm pressure as he started to massage either side. "Clear?" I asked not understanding what he was doing. "You have pressure points here that can relieve headaches." He said clearing up the meaning of touching me like this. "Oh." Was all I could say in response. Now that he mentioned it I do feel it working. "It should be okay now I promise. I need to get up." I said signaling him to discontinue with his help.
"Why?" Clear asked as he looked at me with longing in his eyes. "I don't want you to feel the need to do this besides I can't stay here forever you know?" I said trying to sound playful and happy. He eyes immediately show such sorrow. He looked like he could cry from the sound of my words. "I wish you would." He mumbled as he got up. I thought I had hallucinated he was so quite saying it. As I sat up I saw Clear standing in front of me. "Do you wish for me to go, Aboa-san?" Clear asked almost robotically. Before I would've said yes without a second thought but now. I don't know what I'm feeling anymore. Everything feels surreal, but for no real reason. "No. I don't want you to leave." I couldn't say anything else or less about that subject.
My phone started to ring which brought me back to the reality in which I was used to. I looked at the caller id to see that it was to owner of the store. I had completely forgot I was supposed to go in early today. I took breathe then I answered the phone. "Yes this is Aboa." I said calm and collective. The decibels in which the owner on the other side of the phone was yelling at increased with every word. I instinctively pulled it away. I looked at Clear who looked confused and a bit sad. I smiled pointing at the phone laughing silently as if to say that this was fine and he's silly. I brought the phone back up to my hear. "Yes I know I'll be there right away thank you." I said hanging up the phone and tossing it on the bed next to me. "So I'm an hour late for work. Wonderful." I said jumping up to get dressed and leave. After that I got to the front door looking behind me to see Clear. "Your coming with me right?" I asked. His eyes started to sparkle. "Yes!" He said enthusiastically as we walked out the door to go to my job.
