Missing in Action

Finally....

I woke up at 4:18am from a nightmare. It was pitch black in my room. I flicked the white porcelain lamp on and the second I did, I saw him sitting there in that old leather recliner.

His piercing blue eyes were shut and his brown hair looked like a mess. He looked so much taller than I remembered. His tee-shirt was tight enough that you could make out his shape and his jeans were a deep shaded blue.

I let his name slip out of my mouth before looking away.

"Sean"

I haven't seen him in almost two weeks. I haven't seen him since that last night before my accident.

It will be two weeks tomorrow. I haven't thought about it much till now.

Sean was driving us home from a late party. I was tired and felt like I was going to fall asleep at any moment. Right before I closed my eyes I felt an abrupt pull from Sean and headlights flashing. I slammed my head against the window and that's the last I can remember.

I kept my eyes on Sean as I called his name again. His eyes were flickering as I turned the lamp back off.

A few seconds later, the lamp flickered back on. He yawned and stretched his long arms out.

He took a long breath and looked around the room before his eyes landed on mine for the first time in a while. 

At first, his eyes started to water and his grin was bigger than any smile I have ever seen.

"Oh my god. I-I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry! I should have never suggested we go to that party. We should of stayed and watched movies at home. It's all my fault. I have thought of you every second of everyday since that accident. I haven't even left. I've lived here since the day of. Your mother even tried to get me to leave one night, but I couldn't even imagine the thought of you waking up without me. It made my stomach churn. I'm so sorry that I was downstairs. I flew back up when I heard you woke up, but by the time I came up you were already sleeping. I understand if you never wanna see me again, but I promise I will protect you with my life. I won't leave your side unless your wish is for me to go. I would do anything to make you happy. I can't be without you. I figured this out over these last couple weeks. Audrey, I love you. 

He kissed my forehead and continued apologizing before I could get a word out.
