Chapter 18 Night
I entered our room with Oliver close behind me, trying to keep up with me because I ran the whole way here. I flung the door open and crumbled to the floor as soon as I heard him close it behind him. He picked me up and lay me on the bed.
"Love? Are you ok?" Oliver asked, his voice filled with concern.
"Define ok?" I moaned.
"I know this must be hard on you, but try to get some sleep." Oliver stroked my hair.
"You try losing your parents! Then say that." I spat harshly.
"I have. I know it's hard on you Darlene, but you are not the only one to ever lose someone." Oliver snapped.
"I'm sorry Oli. It's just so hard. What did I do wrong to make them leave me? Why does it hurt so much? Why can't it all just go away?" I cried.
"I don't know love. I asked all those questions when my father died. I was nine at the time. He was killed in the muggle world on a business trip. He went to talk to this guy, and the building he was in blew up. I cried for days. I felt so alone. I had a room full of people grieving over him with me, and I still felt so alone. My mother couldn't even look at us without crying. Alissa, my younger sister, barely understood it all. Bree, my older sister ran off as soon as she graduated Hogwarts and wasn't there for us. We didn't see her for three years. It was so hard." Oliver began to cry.
"Oliver, please don't ever leave me." I whispered.
"Never." He curled up with me and held me. I cried silently for an hour. I cried until I could cry no more. I rolled over to see Oliver.
"Oliver, you lutha nin. Im estel, mil, anira, baur, and gaur you." I whispered.
"What did you say?" He asked softly.
"Oliver, you enchant me. I trust, love, desire, need, and have you." I translated.
"I love you Darlene Rain. Never doubt that. Now go to sleep." He pulled the blanket over us and turned out the light.
I waited there awake. I couldn't sleep. I tried counting sheep, pigs, goats, and rocks. I tried to count backwards from a hundred. I tried everything and still couldn't sleep.
"Oliver?" I sighed wondering if he was even still awake.
"Hmm?" He moaned.
"I can't sleep." I complained.
"And?" He asked.
"And I can't sleep, which means I won't be very happy in the morning. Tell me a story." I insisted.
"Once upon a time there was a boy who met a girl. They were friends for four years, and in their fifth year they fell in love. The girl was going through a really tough time and he did his best to help her get over it. Eventually she would get over it, and they would get married, and have a few kids. And they lived happily ever after." Oliver kissed my neck.
"Thank you Oliver." I sighed and fell asleep.
