When I was younger, I had a friend. His name was Boogey, and he was really shy. He didn't talk much, but I would notice he would leave often and come back. I never knew where he went or when he would return. He was very stealthy, like a ninja. He wouldn't speak to me, but protect me and watched out from my closet.

I was never scared of him. He never gave me a reason to be frightened. At times he would be gone for a few weeks, which made me feel lonely. Until, one day, he left and never came back.

I was 6 years old when he left, and I'm 19 now. It was difficult getting through schooling without him. Even though he wouldn't speak to me, it still helped that he was there. After he left, I felt down and wouldn't come out of my room. My mom asked me "What's wrong?" I would always reply with "I'm just tired." I could tell my mom didn't buy my lie, so I told her. Everything. About. Boogey.

My mother just assumed I had a very big and creative imagination, and since I was only 8 when I told her, she went along with it. She told me that he would come back, but I knew that was a lie. Until it wasn't.

I was sitting on my computer in my bed, finishing up my final project for my psychology class. I suddenly heard a thump and a muffled grunt. I suddenly felt excited. Could it be him?! I hope it is! I missed him so much! But, then I wasn't so excited anymore. He left me. For 13 years. I got angry and I walked up to my closet door, swung it open and turned the light on. It was Boogey.

He looked shocked, and then smiled at me, showing his straight white and sharpened teeth.

"Wow, you grew up." He said with a smirk. I was shocked but angry, because that was the first time he spoke to me.

I just continued to glare at him, and then his smirk was quickly replaced with a look of sorrow and confusion. Really?! He wants to look sad now?!

"Get out" I said

"What?" He looked even more confused.

"Get out of my closet and explain yourself."

He slowly stepped out. He was really tall and muscular. He had long black hair and pale gray skin. There are also two little horns on his head, but I didn't let how attractive he was distract me from the anger and betrayal I felt.

"I-" before he could speak any further, I continued talking. More like yelling.

"HOW COULD YOU. YOU LEFT ME! ALONE, FOR SO LONG! WHERE DID YOU EVEN GO?! YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME YOU LEFT, YOU ALWAYS TELL ME WHEN YOU LEAVE! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!" At this point I'm seething and there's so many emotions built up, it's overwhelming.

"Watch your mouth" he says authoritatively.

"NO, I won't watch my mouth!" I shouted back. Tears started to cloud my vision. I didn't want him to see me cry, so I ran into the bathroom and slammed the door.

"Princess, please come out. I'm sorry." He said in a soft and caring voice.

I couldn't speak because a sob escaped my mouth. I was crouched down in the corner of the bathroom, feeling emotionally exhausted from all the tears spilled. I suddenly felt warmth and arms around me, giving me a hug. I looked up and it was Boogey.

"I'm sorry. I had to leave...it was a family emergency." He said looking sad. But, it seemed it was a different kind of sad. Not sympathetic, but his own pain.

"What happened?" I asked in a small voice.

"Um... my-my parents. They were in a bad accident." His voice started wavering.

I shot my head up and looked at him with sadness in my eyes and understanding. "Im so sorry." I said, giving him a hug. He held onto me tighter and we sat there for a couple more minutes.

"It's late. Let's get you to bed, Princess." He said in a soft and caring voice.

"Okay"

He laid me softly on my bed, making sure to kiss my forehead before he walked towards the closet.

"Wait-" I said, stopping his movements. "Can you- um. Can you stay with me?" I said with shyness.

He chuckles. And oh boy, that little laugh gave me butterflies. "You mean sleep...in your bed...with you?"

"Um.. never mind. Just forget about it." I said embarrassed, turning my back towards him. Why would you even ask that?! Im so stupid. Ugh.

Suddenly, I felt a dip in the bed and arms wrap around my waist. I tensed up and then relaxed. He feels so warm and comfortable.

"Goodnight, Princess." He whispers and kisses my shoulder.

"Goodnight, Boo."

I feel him smile against my shoulder, and we both fall into a peaceful sleep.
