Rude Awakening
(Delirious' POV)
After I told everyone my story, Cartoonz said he could relate to that. "You ran away from YOUR home to be in THIS home?!" Squirrel yelled. I nodded, still glad I did run away, but feeling guilty for leaving them like that. Ohm had plenty of questions about my life, I didn't really answer many of them, but I answered a few. I swore I heard him whisper, "I couldn't do that..especially with my mom."
~Timeskip: Bedtime~
I sat up from my bed, to my door that was creaking open slowly. I didn't move an inch. I got up off the bed, walked over to the door, and opened it quickly. There was no one there and I sighed with relief. I turned around to go lay back down, but I bumped into something..or someone. I looked up and saw my dad's face. I yelped and fell backwards onto my bottom, scooting away from him. "Jonathan...look at what you have done. You ran away from us and look at what you've done.." my dad said, sadly. He backed away from me and showed me a burning house with a woman screaming. It sounded like she was inside the cabin. I teared up and started sobbing as I watched the house burn. The woman's hands were clawing at the little opening of the door, desperately trying to get out. She stopped clawing and screaming, I presumed she was dead. "No..no no no no..please. I didn't want this.." I said through sobs. "Please...I'm so sorry...m..mo--" I woke up and sat up off my sleeping spot, screaming a bit as I awoke. I was panting like I was holding my breath for an hour and I was shivering with fear. I looked around at my surroundings and saw that I knocked out in the living room while playing video games with the guys. I was laying on the couch with a blanket draped over my legs and Cartoonz laying down in a chair not far from me. I started bursting into sobs, cries, and so much more. Cartoonz woke up and looked at me, suddenly realizing I was crying. He came over to me and asked what was wrong. "I-I had a n-nightmare about my dad and s-sister and my house burning d-down and..a-and.." I was trying to say in between hiccups and sobs. Cartoonz calmed me down eventually and gave me some ice cream to nibble on. Still crying a little, I thanked him for his kindness. "It's no problem Del..just want to make sure your okay." He responded. I hugged him and squeezed him like a teddy bear. He hugged me back after a short bit and we didn't move for the longest of time. Why did I never want to let him go? Why? After a bit, we let each other go and I laid back down to sleep. He didn't go from my side. I fell asleep, smiling under my mask, blushing with satisfaction.
