One-Shot

"Sometimes we can be selfish and so can God, but in the end, we're all selfish."

I walked in her room like I do every night. Just checking up on her as I would like to call it. She looks so peaceful when she sleeps, as if she was an angel sent by the Gods. I sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at her. Her breathing steady, her eyelids closed, her lips agape slightly, and curled up in a fetus position. I got up and walked around in her room. Pictures of us on her nightstand and walls. I smiled at the memories of us.

I remember two years ago when she broke down and cried to me about how she couldn't be alone and how she needed me to breathe. I vowed to her that I wouldn't leave her side and I haven't, but somehow she thinks I did. She told me that she never wanted to be alone. I just looked at her that day like she was crazy. Then she made me promise on her tears that same night to never be without my voice in her ears. I didn't want to leave her that day, not then. I kept searching for her but it seemed as though I got lost trying to find her again.

Well, I found my way back.

I looked down at her and her sleeping figure. I bent down.

"You'll never be alone again." I whispered in her ear. She stirred in her sleep and I stood up straight and just stood there to see if she'll awake. I watched the nights go by and watched her sleep; and the things I learned to love, are starting to wither. I ran my fingers through my hair and spoke aloud to no one in particular. "Isn't that what you wanted?" She stirred again as if she felt my presence but was trying to shake me off. I heard her mumble in her sleep.

"Duncan." She tossed and turn and all I did was just stand there, watching her.

"I'm right here with you." I said again. She tossed even more. Then she shot up in her sleep. She does that a lot when I come and see her. She has these weird nightmares. I wish they'll stop. She was in a cold sweat and then she looked around frantically. Then she called out.

"Is anyone there?!" I didn't move. I didn't speak. I just closed my eyes and then sighed.

"Courtney." I said slowly.

"Who said that!?" She yelled. She clasped her hands to her ears and chanted to herself. "You're hearing things. No one's here. You're alone." Over and over again she chanted.

"You can't shake me off. Why are you trying so hard to shake me off? I know you feel me. Stop playing around, you know you're not alone." I said with slight irritation and then she started crying. She clutched her hands tighter to her ears. Then she muttered over again.

"I'm going crazy. I'm hearing his voice." She said and rocked back and forth. I sat down on her bed next to her and watched her rock back and forth. I lowered my head down slightly. Then I started to speak again.

"Remember some time ago when I tried to be as thick as the world. Then you called my name just to see. I responded but then you didn't reply. I guess I didn't yell loud enough. Or, I guess I wasn't real enough. I came back down to stay with you even if you don't know." She shook her head and yelled louder.

"This isn't real. He died two years ago." She yelled. I got up and watched her. I stayed silent for five minutes and she slowly took her hands off her ears and calmed. She laid back down and closed her eyes. I guess I'm too weightless. I bent down and pecked her cheek. Then I went in the back of her room and sat down on a nearby chair. In the dark depths of her room, I watch her like I have done for so many nights.

"I tried, I swear I tried. My heart doesn't beat like it used to. There's no solid ground under my feet. Now all I can be is the voice in the dark, the freezing cold in your heart that you thought died with me. I made a promise to you and I haven't broke it. I'll be right next to you, you'll never be alone again... Never again. I said more to myself than to her. I'm determined to call her bluff. But for now, I'll keep and eye on the world from so many thousands of feet off the ground. From my home up in the clouds, I'll be towering over your head." I whispered quietly.

I walked to her. I didn't want to scare her anymore. So I didn't speak. I guess there's no more for me to do tonight.

I guess I'll go home now.


Well did you all like it? I personally like this a lot! Also, this is my first oneshot! Yay! I wanted to make it short and sweet. I think one-shots should be short for some reason. Anyways, did you all get it? Well if you didn't, here is the basic summary.

Duncan died two years ago. While he died Courtney asked him to never leave her. He heard that promise and now he is by her side as a ghost. She feels him but she thinks she's going crazy. So she denies that she can feel him. He's telling her that you can feel me, don't be so stupid. She is going crazy because she still hears his voice. So, Duncan stops and is basically telling her that he tred to be real, be human. All he can do is just be that love that died in her heart and that he'll never leave her.

So, I hope that helped you all some. Review!
