~Grian pov~

I was running trough those godforsaken hallways i despised from high school. The blood on the ground, the faces in the windows, friends that i knew and foes...

"TAURTIS~~~" that voice screamed at me trough the hallway as i continued running through it, finally reaching the stairs.

Looking back towards the gym i saw a knife slowly peaking from around the corner and i didn't hesitate in running up the stairs.

As i passed the first floor i could hear the last of teacher's Gareth's gasps for air, but i ignored them.

I started getting tired, my muscles were burning from running and my lungs were burning from hyperventilating but i rather keep going, because if i stop....

I pushed the door to the rooftop wide open and closed it behind me as fast as i could.

A transparent girl was looking at me, with pity-filled eyes, taking another look at her i noticed what looked to be tires on her school uniform, that looked similar to what i was wearing.

Suddenly the door got kicked hard from the inside and the girl disappeared. Two or three other kicks later and the door fell on me.

I was sat there, on the floor, face to face with Sam. He looked out of his mind, and he had taurtis's headphones in his hand.

"TAURTIS.... YOU FORGOT THESE" he said as he trew the headphones at me, i crawled away from him, still on the ground.

"SAM, TAURTIS IS DEAD.. I AM GRIAN" i screamed at him, the howling wind and pouring rain in the middle of the night were not making anything easier for me, at this point i couldn't even think properly.

"GREON...NO- TAUR- TAURTIS C'MON, YOU'RE MY BEST BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD, WHY WOULD YOU LIE TO ME??" he said and slowly walked forward towards me, i was still crawling away, but i realised that i was at the end of the rooftop.

"SAM, YOU KILLED TAURTIS, YOU STABBED HIM.. PLEASE-" i was saying but he was in the next second with his hand wrapped around my neck

"I CAN'T BELIVE YOU WOULD LIE TO ME LIKE THIS" he said as he pushed me off the rooftop.

Looking up towards the roof of the school i could see teacher Gareth's ghost, the girl's ghost and taurtis's ghost. His face reflecting so much pain.

I jolted awake in cold sweat, and breathing heavily. It was nearly 3 am and pitch-black in my room.

~Mumbo pov~

I woke up when i felt grian violently jolting next to me, i heard him starting to breath hard and then he started crying.

I got up and turned on the beside lamp i had on my nightstand and i gently put a hand on grian's back, him flinching away, turning around to see me.

"Hey love, it's me, mumbo." i said in a soothing voice. Grian trough tears recognised my voice and hugged me, crying softly in my shoulder.

"Hey there, it's all right.. Look at me" i said as i shifted him around and placed him on my lap "you wanna tell me what happened?"

Grian shook his head left to right "okay, was it one of those pesky nightmares again?" i asked and this time he nodded.

I took his hand in mine and i kissed it as he was watching me "let's try alnd calm down, okay?" i said and he nodded softly

"okay follow my breathing pattern and count with me" i said in a sweet tone

I inhaled "1..2..3..4.."

I waited for grian to follow with me, counting with a shaky voice.

I gestured for him to hold his breath "1..2..3..4..5.."

I then gestured for him to exhale slowly, me counting "1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8.."

He counted alongside me and we repeated a couple of times until his breathing became even.

"come here G" i said and gave him a big hug, wich he accepted and i sad against the headboard with grian in my arms, with his head on my chest.

"thank you mumbo" he said barely above a whisper

"anytime grian, i love you" i said and kissed his forehead, and in response he lifted his head and looked at me

"i love you too" he said, louder this time and pecked me on the lips before putting his head back on my chest.

We laid there for a couple of minutes untill i reached out to turn off the lamp and in we drifted off to sleep.

A/N

Ello, Zura here.

I wrote this listening to some elevator music when i was with my dad to some aunts and uncles, that's a fun fact.

I am still getting the hand of the endings, they still seem awkward, at least from my point of view.

770 words for this one, but i wanna shoot for around 1k per oneshot.

Constructive criticism here <3

I'll see you around, reader
