His holding me but I don't attempt to move nor return the embrace, I simply stand there. He finally gets the hint and removes hisarms and slowly takes a step back. He looks at me with those loving eyes, like he used too. I can't help but cringe, im not use to warm embrace. His eyes slowly drift away from mine and onto the lock that I broke.
"I didn't know my dreams can feel so real..." he whispers Horsley. I look at him with a flash of sympathy on my face as I see fresh tears running down his cheeks. He actually cared I think to myself. I cant go anywhere and my voice is failing me and now I honestly don't know what to do, I admit to myself.
I feel trapped, he thinks this is a dream, just a dream. I shake my head and finally speak.
"This isn't a dream," I whisper, he looks at me disbelievingly.
"But...your dead" he says sadly, trying not to meet my eyes.
"I still am," I say simply.
"So what, now your just going to haunt me" he ask sadly
"n-" before I can say anything he cuts me off.
"I've dreamt of you almost every night, you even haunt me in my sleep even when im awake you're the only one I want to think about...when you died, I had so many questions and so many things to tell you. But I knew I couldn't, I couldn't even tell you how sorry I am that I slept with Tess...she could never be y-"
Something inside me snaps as I cut him off.
"Don't you dare talk about her!" I scream, holding my head in my hands.
"I'm dead and you still talk about her, will this pain ever cease to amaze me?"
His eyes go wide, as if he has something he wants to say but is stopping himself.
I cringe once again at the feeling of emptiness hits me, I look down at my stomach I'm so hungry, I think to myself.
"Your not the only one pain" he chocks out
"I have to live with this burden all my life"
"So that's what I am to you, a burden?" I ask bitterly
"You know what don't answer that question because I'm out of here, bye Max!" as I say this I walk near the window. I slowly open the window as it hits me, the sun, my body reacts as I jump out of the burning glades.
I'm on the floor, in the darkness once again and now I know that here is where I will remain. Max looks at me and then crouches next to me.
"Why are you here then?" he ask gently
He forces me to look at him, eye to eye so I do, I sigh and move a little bit away from his presence, he always make me feel so uneasy.
"I have to get away from the light," I say slowly. Thinking that answer has to do because it's the only one I can give him.
He slowly nods as he looks at his mirror and sees that I don't have a reflection. He gets up from his crouched position and stands there dumbfounded I shake my head. "Your scared of me aren't you? Your scared at what I've become, but you cant be more scared then I already am"
He looks right through me, like im some ghost some illusion.
I look at him with disgust, while I decide to make his bed and then sit on it.
"I'm going to bed"
I get of the bed to close the blinds, trying so desperately not to make contact with the light, to move with the shadows. Satisfied with how everything turns out I bounce on his bed and cover myself with his warm blankets and soon after, fall asleep.(
(Max Pov)
Max is astonished Liz is dead...yet here she is sleeping in his bed and just a moment ago they were having an argument. He looks at her again, she looks so pale and yet at the very same time, beautiful. He grabs a seat next to his bed and sits down only to watch her. He didn't want her to go away and even though she brings him pain he would rather be in pain then wish her away again.
(Dream) (Liz Pov)
I feel so cold, where am I, why is it so dark, why cant I see anything? I cant breathe, there's no air in here.
Im banging on, what feels like wood and it doesn't seem like anyone can hear me. "Help!" I scream as loud as my lung can possibly go "HELP ME! GOD SOME ONE HELP!" I scream even louder, if that's possible.
I already know that im running out of oxygen, if I ever had any to begin with is beyond my comprehension. I can feel the tears brimming in my eyes, I know im going to pass out in a few seconds but before I do, I roll my fist in a ball and punch as hard as I can in the wood which is keeping me from my freedom. I hear a satisfying break in the wood as I quickly put my hands in the hole and rip my way out.
But the world isn't going to make it easy for me as I see dirt and soil coming in the little whole I have just created, blocking my contained air. I soon relies I have to get out of here quicker then I anticipated. I force my way through the soil as its still soft but not soft enough for it still hurts against my fragile skin. I'm gasping for breath as my head reaches the surface.
I gasp once again. Breathing in oxygen on which I lacked so dearly, the desperation soon dissipated when it came to my realisation that the air I was breathing was now.
I quickly sit up as it hits me, it was just a dream only a dream slowly shake my head and shiver as I relies im covered in sweat, I turn to see the clock on Max's desk which reads 5:20 PM it will be sunset soon, I think to myself. Then I can get out of here and never see Max again, my eyes slowly dart to the side where I see Max sleeping soundly next to me on the chair. His innocence blinds me sometimes as I take the blanket and gently put it on his body.
