Alone Together - Fall Out Boy

Cheryl's P.O.V

"How did you do it ? How did you manage to deal with the guilt ? I mean, you have a pretty big part of responsibility in Thomas' death. And when guilt hits, it hits hard.", he paused now aware of the weight of his words. He had an apologizing look on his face.

He then went on, his eyebrows raised. "I couldn't sleep because I kept over-thinking everything I did to Bonnie, and I didn't even kill her. I can't imagine the internal conflicts it must have caused, that's...that's torture really"

"I didn't feel any guilt, regret, or sadness, not even anger.", I said blankly.

He looked confused, he blinked quickly a few times and then frowned.

"I didn't feel anything, even if I wanted to I couldn't have. Every good moments he and the girl I was spent together felt so...off-key. After what he had done..." I trailed off, looking down. "...playing me, fooling me." I shrugged and looked back up at Kai. "He paid for it. He broke my heart, nobody breaks my heart."

"Do you want revenge on the Gemini coven,...on your best friend ? Man, I almost forgot about her. What a telltale !", he exclaimed which almost made me smile.

"I can't think about that before getting my powers back. And right now what I want to do is sleep, I'm dead.", I stated while getting up from my chair.

I made my way to the bed and sat on it to take off my boots. I noticed Kai was standing up and had trown his coat on a chair while discreetly staring at me. He seemed to have had an idea in the back of his mind. I pushed my shoes aside and lifted my chin in a rapid movement implying he spat it out.

"Wanna take off something else ? Clothes maybe ?" He gave me a wink.

I narrowed my eyes at him and just gave up looking for a good comeback.

"I'm too tired to rebuff you." I sighed, sliding in the sheets as I heard him chuckle behind me.

I was wearing an oversized cream white sweater and dark blue jeans. It wasn't the most comfortable attire to sleep in but considering it was so cold, I didn't mind that much.

I laid my head on the pillow that was on my side of the bed, finally relaxing. It felt like someone had lifted a weight from my chest and from my mind. For a moment, I felt at peace with everything, forgetting where I was, with whom and for what purpose.

I was dragged out of my thoughts by the mattress bending under Kai's weight who was getting in bed next to me. I turned around to face him and watched him getting under the sheets and pulling the blanket up on his chest.

He noticed I was watching him and turned to face me. He gave me a playful look and tried to contain a smirk.

"I swear to God if you try anything, I'll muffle you with a pillow.", I threatened in a raspy, tired voice.

He chuckled before responding. "Sweet dreams to you too."

And with a last roll of my eyes, I drifted off to sleep.
