Visibly Invisible

Chapter 14-You're the place I run

Author Note: Okay then, note: NOTHING happened, absolutely NOTHING. It was just one of Ed's hormonal moments, and it was just a long make out session. NOTHING else.

Edmund's POV:

I woke up to something vaguely crashing to the floor somewhere, and it didn't exactly please me. My brain was still numb, my body was not registering the sudden "revival" to the real world and I vaguely realized something was pressed to my bare arm, and it was so eloquently asleep.

I grunted, trying to free myself and half wondering what it was, before the memories of the afternoon flooded back to me and I smiled out of nowhere. Dy looked so cute when she was blushing, and she always messed up my hair worst than the last dishevel. Oh well, who's complaining?

The sun was just slipping below the horizon and the whole room was bathed in an orange-yellow glow coming from behind the slightly parted curtains of the room, and I rubbed at my eyes with my free arm furiously, trying to wake up. I failed miserably, dozing off again.

Dylexia's POV:

The first thing I realized was that my arms were asleep, the next I was breathing in a ton of cinnamon and third…yeah I didn't realize after that.

Blinking and trying to grope through the darkness that I could hardly see through, I sat up with a groan, wondering where I was. Wait a minute, where the hell was I?

Frantically, I shifted a little and bumped into something that seemed like a human, and then I realized, oh right. I was in Ed's room.

'Silly me,' I muttered with a satisfied grin, before proceeding to shake him awake and ask for a light. All I got was a groan and mumbling, that sounded vaguely like "leave me 'lone." Sticking my tongue out at where I thought he was, I racked my brains for a way to wake him up and I was hit with an ingenious plan.

An evil smile worked its way to my lips.

-XXX

'That's the worst thing you've done so far,' Ed mumbled again and pouted at me as we left his room together. I grinned again and slipped my hand through his skipping lightly at which he groaned.

'I mean, do you know how scared I was when I heard you whimpering and whispering my name desperately?' he repeated yet again and I laughed.

'Uh…that's called good acting,' I flipped my hair in a Teria-ish way and he gave in, grinning and looking at me out the corner of my eye. Yeah, life was all good.

-XXX

The atmosphere at the dinner table was heavy and everyone seemed to be staring at us, excluding Teria who just stared at her plate with an all-too-knowing smile. I kept my head low, and Ed was radiating carefree-ness. Of course I knew what they were thinking, and it made me gag the second I thought about…uh…

'I want to ask you something and you have to answer honestly,' my head snapped up and Ed stared at Susan casually whose look clearly meant "spill it".

'Nothing happened at all, we just fell asleep and lost track of time,' Ed smoothly spoke before Susan could even say a word. Was it just me or did a disappointed look cross her face? Uh, invasion of privacy.

-XXX

I tossed and turned in bed, my mind assuring me that the insomnia was because of the good amount of sleep I had "slept" that day. My body was uneasy all over, and I couldn't place why. Was it because of the fact that Ed still treated me as a child, or was it because of the stress of the past few weeks? I groaned, and rolled over, curling in a ball and then uncurling again. It was hard to believe that even with five years of growing up together; Ed had never made a move, ever. Now, a tiny corner of my mind wanted him to do so.

'Why the hell am I thinking about it?' I groaned aloud, not expecting a reply. But when a smooth voice spoke from the shadows, I nearly jumped out of my skin.

'Because you're insecure,'

I jumped up, my heart racing. That didn't sound like Ed or trusty boy. It was a smooth statement and the voice was velvety. Oh heck, it wasn't even anyone I knew. But why was that voice so effing familiar?

I racked my brains as something shifted in the left corner of my room. My heart started to race as my mind started picking up bits of memory as to where I had heard the voice.

And in one second, my fright levels hit the gong.

But no, Greger was dead, it couldn't be him. Even his bones couldn't be there; it had fifteen friggin hundred years ago when I had last seen or heard him. He was dead, completely rotten in his grave. I tried to breathe.

'I waited for you for so many years, I lost count after the first 200,' I gulped, shifted in my bed and preparing to run as his face came out ominously out of the shadows. Had I been a little in my senses, I would've thought comically that it was suspended in mid air. But no, I was shaking in horror and cursing Trusty boy, my cheeks feeling like a water fall.

'Ed,' I whispered in a shaky voice before screaming his name out loud. Loud enough to wake up even the dead from their graves. But his hand was on my mouth in an instant, sticking to my lips like Velcro. God, no he was dead, then why could I feel his body pressed to mine. Why could I feel those disgusting lips nearly devouring mine? Why the hell was this happening?

And just like that, I fell.

I don't know how, but there was this hole in my bed and I was falling "down the rabbit hole", darkness all around me. Upside, Greger wasn't pressed to me anymore.

-XX

My eyes flew open and I sat bolt upright, my hand going to my throat, my eyes frantically scanning the dark room. It was just a dream (Nothing about Nelly :P), just a stupid nightmare that racked me badly. Nothing else.

Sweat ran down my face and I tried to stop the tears from flowing, my face heating up from the effort. I shakily got out of bed, my feet wobbly and made a dash for it, going straight to Ed's room, that weird adrenaline thingy vibrating through me. I didn't even knock as I reached the welcoming door; I just opened it and ran in.

And he was there, standing with his back to me, turning immediately as I slammed the door shut. His brown eyes eyed me questioningly, bursting with concern and I couldn't hold my tears in any longer. I just ran and buried myself in his curves, sobs racking through my body, ignoring his questions as he hugged me protectively. I don't know how long I cried, but I do remember falling asleep at one point and collapsing before everything went dark.

He was there for me. He was the place I ran to.

Okay, so three things:

1-The chapter title is a song by Ashley Tisdale (Me without you)

2-Crabbiest filler chapter ever.

3-The next chapter is gonna be the last, and it's probably going to be up this week, so keep a look out. PLEASE REVIEW, THEY KEEP ME ALIVE DAMN IT!
