Okay. I guess that wasn’t so bad.

I flop down onto my bed and think about him against my will. No matter how hard I try to sleep, my thoughts just wander back to Lennon, his smile, his eyes, the steadiness of his voice when her reassured me that I was worth his heartbreak. It makes my stomach twist with butterflies. My phone buzzes and I look at my screen. Lennon. Should have known.

Lennon/You have to admit, that was fun.

Jasper/I will admit to nothing of the sort.

Even as I typed this, I was smiling.

Lennon/ You, Jasper, are a stubborn woman.

Jasper/The most stubborn woman you woman you will ever meet.

Lennon/I'm starting to see that.

Jasper/Well I have to go, have a test tomorrow.

Lennon/Right. Science test. That’s for reminding me. Night jazz.

Jasper/Night Lennon.

I drifted off to sleep somewhere between 12-1 in the morning, and woke at 5 am from my usual nightmare. But there was something different about this dream. I could see the person from behind the one way mirror, mocking me with their laughter.

Lennon.
