I Think I Like Storms
Now, this is odd for me to say, being actually dead, but I have never felt so dead and numb inside as I do right now when my fears have come to fruition. I screwed up... big time. I mean, I love her... but I didn't want it to happen like this.... This wasn't supposed to happen.... Who started it? Me or her?... Why can't I remember anything? What exactly happened?... My brain churns, or at least the mush that is left of it does, looking for answers that aren't there.
She squeezes me tight then lets go, saying, "I really needed someone to snuggle with, I wasn't in a good place. It means a lot that you took care of me. We both knows those guys weren't going to." Hold up, what? Does she mean what I think she means? My mind can't decide whether to be happy, confused or disappointed and so I just lean in and give her another hug, just to smell her again and say, "Anytime." Val is just a friend, right?
.....
"It's okay, I understand." She relaxes upon hearing this, "I'm here for you Val, you know that." I tell her, causing her to stop and turn back to look at me.
"Yeah... thanks Cabbage, it means a lot." She says this, the quiver in her voice fading. Suddenly she digs a heel into the gravel and turns back to her door, her black hair whipping around as she strides to the door, confident again. This makes no sense. "You coming?" she's stopped at the door, turned just enough to give me a piercing look as though I'm taking too long again, suddenly defiant. I follow her, pausing for a brief moment at the threshold before following her into the dark castle that I've only ever entered in daydreams. My deadened eyes aren't adjusting very well to the sudden dark, but as they tried I catch a glimpse of Val walking off. My foot catches and I fall forward with a groan, my face crashing into cold concrete. Stairs... should've known there would be stairs... Val starts before laughing a little, such a sweet sound. "Oh yeah, I forgot, you probably can't see much in here can you?"
