Teenage timeline

Nevermore was a cold and dark place. Especially when you sleep was constantly filled with visions you were not able to control. They were torturing your mind, showing themselves in your dreams.

You woke up painting. You could feel your face stained with tears you didn’t remember shedding, your hands shaking as the images from your sleep kept repeating themselves before your eyes.

You tried to wrap yourself back in the duvet, look out of the window and pretend like you haven’t heard the werewolves howling outside of it. You tried breathing techniques and ‘happy thoughts’ — oh lord. When none of it worked you grabbed your sweater throwing it on before sneaking out of your dorm trying not to make any floorboards creak.

You knew you shouldn’t done that, shouldn’t go there. It was past curfew and even if you would make it to Isaac’s dorm room without getting caught he would probably be asleep.

You passed the corridors, every shadow reminding you of the nightmares before you quietly made your way into his room. Gomez was sleeping — sprawled on his bed, duvet half fallen from the bed and hair messed in every way.

Before your eyes fell on Isaac he was already stirring — as if he could sense you. He knew you, you were his girlfriend after all, he knew you couldn’t control your physics abilities. When you were sliding under his duvet he was already blinking awake — still half asleep but slowly coming back to his senses. With a quiet groan he wrapped his arm around you resting his forehead on the side of your head.
