A dark, quiet night.

Spoilers: Maybe some slight spoilers. Nothing major though.
The night is dark and quiet. What a shock that is, you may say. in the night the sun is gone, and all the people are sleeping happily in their beds. Well, not in my world. Oh, it's dark alright. but in my world the nights are filled with cheating husbands (or wives, which are really not that rare), criminals with a price on their head. And even a motorcycle gang leader, just for the fun of it.
Not tonight though, seems like every bad seed in this city are actually at home, getting some much needed beauty sleep. Of course this is the night that I could actually need the interference.
I have to get out of here, or else I might just make a hole in the floor here. Since I'm walking back and forth like a caged animal. I take Backup (my dog, in case you where wondering) and head for the beach. It's really one of my favorite places in the city, although I must admit that I'm really not the one you'll see lying around in a bikini. Not anymore anyway.
I see his silhouette, he's sitting on the beach some distance away from me. I know it's him long before I actually see his face. You see, a man (or a woman for that matter), don't go down to the beach by themselves this late at night. There are only two exceptions. Me (although I bring Backup, so I'm not really alone) and the figure sitting in front of me. So at least I know where Neptune's bad ass bike gang leader goes on nights like these. He seems lost though, not so much of a bad ass at the moment.
"Hey" I say as I get nearer. I don't add a name, cause I don't know which one to use. Weevil sounds wrong out here when it's just the two of us. Weevil is the gang leader's name, not the name of the man I know. Although I must admit that it's a part of him. I don't dare to use Eli either, it just seems to intimate. It's for the family. And I'm afraid he's going to read something more into it. Something I'm still trying to ignore, an intimacy or some sort of feeling other than hate between us. I really hadn't realized that his eyes where on me. Since I was completely lost in thoughts. So I just smile and sit down next to him. Not to close though. Not close enough for us to touch with any part of our bodies.
"How are you doing?" he asks me. His voice is soft like it is when we are alone and he don't have a reputation to uphold.
"I'm good" I answer. And with just one look at me, he calls me on my BS answer.
"Ok, so not good. This is just a bad day for me you know. Keep having this nightmare about her, and I don't want to go back to sleep. So I found at that I'd just stay awake instead". Wow, did I just blurt all that out? He must have some strange effect on me to make me spill like that. Usually I don't say a lot of things, without really saying anything at all. Unless of course I want to say something, but even then I rarely just blurt it out like that.
"I know how you feel" he says, and nearly scare the crap out of me. My thoughts went crazy again. If I didn't know better I would say I was on something!
"I know you do" I say, before I continue. "You loved Lilly didn't you?". And there I go again. Maybe I'm really on something, cause this is really not a conversation I want to have with the man beside me. Asking him if he where in love with my dead bestfriend. Knowing how he usually reacts at the mentioning of Lilly Kane. Strange that I couldn't see it before, but I guess I didn't know as much about Lilly as I would like!
No answer yet? I turn to look at him, and I almost think I see a tear in his eye. He turns to look at me, and for ones his dark eyes aren't unreadable. For once I can see the hurt and betray in them, for the way Lilly treated him. But I can also see the sorrow he feels, and the hate towards the man that killed her.
"I really don't know anymore V! Did I ever love her? At least she never loved me! It still hurt though, thinking about her dead by the pool. Which leads me to think about Aaron Echolls, the bastard that nearly killed you". I see a flicker in his eyes then. And then I shrug it away, it's best to never even think that this man feels anything other than respect and maybe friendship towards you. V...
I sigh, and then I feel a strong arm around my shoulders. It feels good and I relax into it. thinking that if I where held by those arms, close to that body, I could sleep peacefully even on this night. and I feel myself drift off to sleep, hearing the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. Feeling his strong arms around me and the weight of Backup across my feet.
I can't believe I have actually posted a fic here ) Although I've written many, this is my first one to put up here. So please, speak your mind. If it sucks tell me, any suggestions to how it could be better, or if you against odds should actually think it's good. Then just press the button )
