I Don't Know the Awkward Stranger to my Right
Tell Me Something Sweet Just To Get Me By
~*POV Tony*~
I bit my lip as I flipped through the channels on the TV. It was almost 3am, and I have not been to bed yet. I feel really weird about everything that went down today. First with Jenna, then with Mike, I doubt I could sleep if I wanted too. At least if I'm awake I can keep an eye on Mike...
But everything is really eerie and dark at night, the television and the little clock on the microwave were the only sources of light. The air felt thicker than usual, not thick like hard to breath, but thick like I wasn't alone.
I've never really believed in ghosts, I believe that their is a world between ours and the afterlife. But ghosts that haunt you at night, nah. I believe in like, sort of a purgatory, you go there before it's decided what happens to your soul. Or maybe our world is the purgatory, and we're sent here for some sort of character test and that's why it sucks. And if we pass, we live on in a great place where we're happy. And if we fail, we're sent back to the world we lived in before, which is worse than now.
My thoughts were soon interrupted by the vibrating of my cellphone. It scared that shit out of me actually, I wasn't expecting it. Not to mention that it made a terrible noise on the glass coffee table. I pick it up and see that I have a new text;
Mikey<3: Hey, are you still up?
Me: Absolutely, is something wrong?
A million things went through my head as I waited for him to text me back. I know that he's less than 50 feet away from me, and I could just go check on him... But that didn't cross my mind at the time, I have a one-track mind, and when I'm focused on something, there's only one way to do it...
Mikey<3: Not particularly, just can't sleep. Nightmares...
I bit my lip as I read the last word. Poor boy needs sleep.
I stood up from my place on the couch and turned off the tv. I quietly walked down the hallway to Mike's room.I opened the door slowly, to keep it from creaking and waking everyone up. When the door was finally open enough, I peaked my head in. I saw Mike sitting up in bed, eyes open wide.
"Tony?" he whisper yelled, "You scared the shit out of me!"
"Err sorry," I whispered back. I walked over and sat at the foot of the bed, "Do you want to talk about it?"
"I don't even know anymore Tone," he said, he sounded so distressed, it broke my heart, "I feel like shit. I can't get a moment of peace, and I don't know what to do anymore."
During the last sentence, he started to cry. I felt my heart shatter, I can't stand seeing him like this. I moved from the foot of the bed up closer to take him in my arms. He wrapped his around my neck and cried into my neck. I didn't know what to do, so I just held him while he cried. There's nothing I hate more than being useless. And that's what I feel right now, all I want is for Mike to be happy and I can't help him.
After a while, I felt his breathing steady before growing deep. It seems like he cried himself to sleep, I sighed in relief to myself. Hopefully this time he'll get some peace, he really needs it. I carefully laid him down onto his pillow before removing my arms. I slipped my head from out of his grasp. I pulled the blankets up to tuck him in. When I was finished, I turned around to leave him some room.
"Tone," I heard him whisper, "Stay with me."
"Anything you want darling," I whispered back.
I walked to the opposite side of the bed. I took off my jeans before climbing in bed next to him. He moved over so I would have room under the covers with him. I snuggled up next to him and wrapped my arms around his waist.
"Goodnight Tony," he whispered, "I love you."
"I love you too Mikey," I responded, kissing his ear.
It wasn't long before we were both asleep.
