PRESENT

Opening my eyes, I smiled when I saw him laying there, fast asleep.

Leaning over, I kissed his lips softly, waiting for him to wake up which he quickly did.

Pulling away from the kiss, I smiled down at him, him smiling up at me.

"Good morning beautiful."

"Good morning handsome," I giggled, feeling the butterflies in my stomach as he rubbed my back.

He only looked at me, neither of us saying a word until he finally mumbled, "I'm sorry," making me frown.

"You're sorry? For what?"

"For leaving you," he smiled sadly as he caressed my cheek.

I was still confused as I watched him when suddenly cuts appeared on his face, making me grow wide-eyed.

"Jeff! What the hell?! What's going on?! Jeff! Jeff!"

Sitting up in an instant, I was breathing heavily, trying to catch my breath.

It was a nightmare.

The same one I had for a long time.

And now it's coming back to haunt me.

But this time I wasn't alone.

I wasn't home.

I was in Zach's room, Zach slowly waking up being I probably woke him up with my nightmare.

And I was right, being Zach didn't even have to get up or look at me to guess, "You had another dream about him, didn't you?"

Silence fell upon us as I sighed closing my eyes, "I-I'm sorry Zach. I just..."

"Hey, I get it. You loved him."

Opening my eyes, Zach had turned on his back, his eyes now open as he looked up at me, no expression on his face.

"Is this the part where you tell me it's time to get over him? That it's what he'd want?"

"God no." Zach mumbled, sitting up, "I'm not going to tell you any of that bullshit because I didn't know him well enough to know what'd he want but- I do think if he loved you at all, then yes, your happiness would be something he'd want."
