“ sleep, my love. i’ll keep the nightmares away. ” ( for juliet! ) ( @lvebtes )
“But will you be there when I wake?”
Julie was used to his disappearing acts or so she told herself every time he left with no warning. She looked up at him, dark circles clearly evident as they contrast her pale skin. She was exhausted but she found herself unable to sleep.
Perhaps it was truly the fear of him leaving her and not coming back that kept her awake? It felt strange to be so worried about someone like this, but it was because he meant so much to her that she could not imagine life without him once more.
Hand is reached up to touch his cheek as she watched him with a slight sparkle in her eyes. She would never go through with it, but the thought quickly flashed into her mind. “Perhaps you’ll stay with me if I kill you.” Though she could never actually kill him, if he were to die it would never be by her hand.
Light laughter passed her lips as she rested her cheek upon his chest and closed her eyes. Well, if he was planning on staying she might as well take advantage of him being here. If he was gone when she woke, then she would get hurt once more, but right now she wanted to rest a while longer.
