The days have gone by and nothing has changed other then the fact you made friends with Lisa and you feel like you've seen that boy before. You lost your chance to ask his name, he doesn't visit a lot maybe once a month but nothing more often then that. Today was a relaxing day for you, the therapist was on his vacation trip and wouldn't be back until three days later. The boy hasn't visit since last month so he might visit soon again. During new years you were alone but, only for a little while.

~~~~~FLAAAAAASHBAAAAACK!~~~~~

the darkness filled the sky and you sat by the window and stared into the empty void of the pitch black night humming a song to yourself. People were either in hospital rooms chatting with family and friends or out partying with others but you....you had no friends to speak of and no family was in the state so here you are alone in a dark room on a dark night. You traced symbols in the air making black mist appeared and later fade away within a small amount of time. Additional strength and making mist appear for a little while was awesome! Yesterday you had made some mist appear while Lisa was pouring water into a glass the look on her face was priceless!

This whole new found power was incredible! However the images of people with same looking marks on different limbs greeted you in your dreams.

"who are those people?" You ask the darkness

No answer

You sigh know you may never know and make some more mist. The door opens and the mist fades away quick and to you're surprise It was the boy. His eyes beautiful but deadly saw you by the window

"You" You said
"Hi y/n, how are you"
"I'm fine" you say breaking away from his hypnotic eyes
"wow" he said looking outside from the window " you don't get a night sky like this where i come from!" He pulls up a chair from the corner of the room and sets it down in front of the window and next to you
"hey whats your name?" You ask him
"huh?" His eyes meet yours
"your name, what is it?"
" heh does it matter what my name is?" He says looking away
" Yeah it does"
"........"

hes quiet

"do you like the stars?" He says changing the subject
"i used to"
"used to?"
"mhm"
"wanna say why?"
"tell me your name and I'll say why"
"deal" he says boldly
"My fami- no, my mother and i would often look through a telescope and watch the sun set and the stars rise, but now it.....it hurts to think about her"
"I'm sorry I brought it up" he says regretting making this deal
"Its okay"

(BEN POV)

Why did I make that deal? I feel terrible now! The city street lights turn on one by one while we chat. She forgot about me telling her my name and that was probably for the best too. I Wasn't too sure about telling her who I was it might scare her, and that's not on my to do list. We talked and she got used to me. She really opened up to talking about herself I figured out she enjoyed playing videogames. The voices in my head talked as she stared out the window.

"Just another reason to be her boyfriend" They spoke
"Shes even more perfect!" One said
"MAKE A MOOOOOOVE" Another shouted

The city lights appeared from the distance and only makes me feel like y/n is within arms reach and then we can hear the shouts from outside and in other rooms yelling
"10!"
Moment of truth
"9!"
Should I . . . ?
"8!"
Will she reject me?
"7!"
I decide what to do and I feel like an idiot
