I hear something in my bedroom. I hear sounds all evening long. And it's
becoming really scary. I'm in panic. I think it's Begbie, with a knive, because
I used drugs again. He said he killed me if I ever touched that shite again. I
dreamed about this. Begbie came into my room and he cut me in pieces. I want to
scream but I can't. No, this can't be true, Mark, it's just because you didn't
had a shot. There is no one in your room, I say to myself. I slowly slide out
the bed, but when I want to get my feet on the ground I feel something. There
is lying someone there. I get really scared. I see images of me cut in pieces
and Begbie standing next to me, smiling. I slowly get out of my bed through the
other side of the bed, than walk to the side where Begbie is lying, and I
totally lose control. I think about all the bad and fucked up things that
happened in my life, and I punch at him like it's a pillow.
I fell asleep about 5 minutes after I laid down. I open my eyes and immediately
close them. Somebody is punching me. I tried to push this person off me and
yelled: "Stop it! Stop it!" And as soon as I yelled, the punching
stopped. I crawled to the lightbutton and turn the light on. I turn around to
see who has been punching me, and I see Mark lying on the floor. "For
fuck's sake Mark. What are you doing? Asshole!!" I yell at him.
She scared the hell out of me. When the light turned on I expected it to be
Begbie but it was her. And I didn't know what I had done. She had a big blue eye.
"I thought you were Begbie," I said to her. "Begbie? How the
fuck can Begbie come into your room Mark?" " I don't know, I dreamed
about it and then I saw him here, with a knive. He was trying to kill me."
And I started to cry.
"Oh for fuck's sake Mark, no one is trying to kill you. I couldn't sleep
so I though I slept here. I missed you, that's all." And I sat down next
to him and embraced him. "Look, I know it's hard for you. But you scared
me Mark. And my eye hurts." "I'm sorry, it's just, I see things that
aren't there. Have you been singing on my bed yesterday?" he asked me. I
said I didn't and he told me all the things he had seen. I thought it was
really scary. "Mark, I want to stay here, if you don't hit me again. You're
kicking off cold turkey and I think that's the best way to do it for you. I'm
here for you so if you see things, just tell me Ok?" Mark nodded. I tried
to make as less noise as possible when I got his bed against the wall. I got
his matras on the floor and my bed next to it. I wouldn't want his parents to
wake up at this time of the night. It was 1 o'clock now. I told him to lay down
and when he did, I turned the light off. I laid down too and wrapped my arms
around him. I waited with closing my eyes until I knew that he was sleeping.
