Dreaming Alone

Dreaming Alone: Chapter Ten

"You take care of my sister, mister or I'll kill you with sprinklers. How I'll do that, I don't know but you know...whatever" my brother laughed before yawning and I squeezed his hand before letting it go.

He's day's about to start without me again and now I don't feel like going. We've been together since we were kids until college when we decided to have different sets of friends so we can widen our circle. We're not identical but our minds are which makes it easier for us to be in tune with each other.

"You goin' to be okay?" I asked him and he nodded before yawning again. "You should take a nap."

"I will" he smiled. "Text me when you get there. Say hi to Faith for me."

"Bye for now" I smiled at him as the car began to move.

I immediately sent Faith a text asking her how she's feeling and telling her that we're on our way home while Wil wriggled on his seat. I looked at him and couldn't help but laugh when he looked too silly for me.

"What's up with you?" I chuckled.

"I couldn't sleep last night and I'm trying to get comfortable so I can sleep on our way home."

His hair's on a man bun and my backpack's in his arms.

"What time did you sleep last night?" he asked.

"I don't know. I didn't check. What time did you go back to your room? I didn't see you after I danced with my cousin." I didn't even get to dance with you.

"Around ten o'clock, I think" he answered. "I didn't want you to keep on looking after me so I decided I'd crash without telling you so you wouldn't worry."

That sent guilt to course through my veins. I shouldn't have danced with Luke. Maybe then he didn't have to sleep early.

"I actually planned to hang out with you around one in the morning but I saw your brother outside your room, talking to Luke and so that gave me the idea that you already might be sleeping."

So Luke was talking to my brother? I wonder what they talked about.

"You should've called me or at least texted me to see if I was awake."

He just smiled before starting to move around again. I looked outside and noticed that it started raining again.

"Is there a storm?" he asked. "It keeps on raining. It only gave your cousin a chance yesterday to have his wedding without the rain."

"Maybe there is a storm" I shrugged and unexpectedly yawned.

"You wanna lean on me so you can sleep?" he offered.

"You want to? I think I had more sleep than you" I said.

"You're too short to lean on" he smirked and I gasped.

"Yes, go ahead, laugh. If I had some sort of growth spurt and outgrow you, I'll lean on your head all the time."

"I'd sell my soul to see that" he grinned.

"I don't want to lose you after ten years so don't."

I didn't realize what it would've meant to Wil when I said that until he smiled thoughtfully.

"I don't even have Crowley's number so I won't" he moved a bit before leaning his head on my shoulder. "So this is how the world looks like on your point of view" he teased and I plucked his forehead.

I didn't notice that he's already asleep until a soft snore escaped his lips. I laughed softly before taking my phone out of my pocket and snapped a picture of us and sent it to Faith.

Looks like the giant's sleeping-Faith replied.

I feel better now. Tell me all about it when you get home. See you soon-she texted again and I smiled.

I will. See you soon! Oh and Xander said 'Hi'-I replied.

Did Theo say that too?

A laugh blurted out of me because of her question.

I haven't even introduced you to him-but yes, he's still in the market-was my reply.

I waited for Faith's reply but she didn't. She must be doing something or resting.

My mind wandered back to what my brother and I talked about last night and I looked sideways at Wil who seems like he's about to fall off my shoulder. I reached for my bag and took it from his arms and placed him on my lap while I moved his head carefully down so he's resting on the bag instead of my shoulder. He stirred a bit but he didn't wake up so I decided to close my eyes and take a nap since there was a bit of traffic.

I didn't realize we were a few feet from my house until Wil started poking my nose. I opened my eyes and looked at him. He seems to be enjoying himself which made me wonder if I was drooling or if my mouth was open since I was still a bit tired.

I touched the corner of my lips and confirmed that I didn't drool and Wil started to laugh when he held his phone up. I looked at a picture of me with my mouth open and I couldn't help but laugh out of embarrassment and how silly I looked.

"Do not post that, I'll kill you" I continued to laugh as I sat up straight.

"I won't" he smiled as he opened an umbrella the driver must've handed to him before he took our things and left it at the porch. "It's going to go to my treasure chest" he said. "Now come on, I plan on continuing my slumber on your couch."

I shook my head and chuckled as I stepped out of the car. I thanked the driver on our way in and he gave us a nod before going back to the car.

We're home-I texted my brother before unlocking the door. I checked for Faith's text but there wasn't any so I texted her instead that we're back before walking to my room.

"Do you want a blanket?" I asked Wil as I handed some pillows to him.

He shook his head as he turned the sofa to a bed. "I won't need it, thank you" he smiled before taking the pillows from me.

"Do you need a blanket?" he asked and I looked at him.

"I already have one" I answered.

Wil grinned and I knew where he was going.

"I don't need a human blanket" I widened my eyes at him and he laughed.

"Fine" he winked and lied down.

"Wake me up if you need anything" I said as I walked towards my room. "The door's open."

I locked the door while I changed my clothes and unlocked it again before lying down on the bed.

I was about to doze off when my phone buzzed and I didn't look to see who it was before answering.

"Did you get home just fine?"

"I did" I answered and wondered why Luke decided to call.

"I thought you wouldn't answer my call."

"I didn't know it was you. Is there something you need to say?" I asked.

"Not really" he answered.

"Can you call some other time then, if this call's not too important? I gotta go."

"Where to?"

I furrowed my brows and shook my head. "To dreamland if you really have to know. Bye" I said and hung up.

I didn't mean to be rude but I don't understand why he needs to know what I'm about to do. I shook my head and placed my phone inside the drawer before closing my eyes.
