To Know Who I Am

Just a Dream

I was so tired at that point.

It was a thirty-minute drive from my house to the school. So I lend my head against the window. I must have fallen asleep or something. The next thing I head was- “Nora. Nora.”

“What.” I woke up with a nod.

“Is you mom and Maurice home?” he asked.

“Umm no they both are working tell ten or later.” I laid my head back.

“Okay.”

I got out of the car and then walked to door to unlock it. I stopped in the hallway. Waited for Sean to lock the door behind him then walking into his arms. I stood there not wanted to move. I could feel his eye on me.

“What?” I looked up at him.

“Are you hungry?” He asked as he moved me closer.

 “Just little.” I smiled.

“Do you want me to cook you something to eat?” He moved his arms around to my low back. “No, Sean, it’s okay you don't have to.” I went to stand on my tie-toes.

“But I will.”

“No. Sean please you don't have to.” He smiled kiss lightly.

He stopped kissing me.

“Okay so I’ll just order in then.”

“With what money.” He pulled a fifty out of his pocket. I looked at him.

“You’re not spending you money on me. I’ll cook something myself.” I looked into the living room. And turned and walked up to my room. At the top I looked back to see Sean just starting to came up the stairs. In my room I laid down on my bed next to Sean. I didn't want him to go ever I wanted him to be with me tell the day I die.

Sean looked at me and smiled. Running a hand through my hair over and over again. I felt really tired and with Sean running he hand through my hair I couldn't stay awake any more.

“You keep doing that you’re going to put me to sleep.” I said as he moved he hand to my back and rubbed it. He didn’t stop. “You need your sleep baby.” I shifted my weight to one side and moved closer to Sean. “No I don’t, I’m fine.” He moved me as closer as we could get.

“Yes you do, you need it, because if you didn’t then you won’t be closing your eye and opening then so much trying to stay up.”

I woke up and found that Sean wasn't next to me. I rolled over to looked at the clock on the bed side table. It was only 12:30pm and I still hadn’t eaten. I walked down to the kitchen hopping to find Sean there. Going to the living room to find no one. I walked to the door to see if he was outside. Once the door opened I still didn’t see him. His car was still in the drive way. But he wasn’t in the house. Walking around into the din there his sat. I sat down next him and looked at what he was reading. It was the paper and on the first page in big black letters read

Teen girl and boyfriend died in her home.

“That sad. Who were they?”

“Sean DeLeon and Lenora Anderson.”

I looked up to see Louise. I moved fast then I thought I could.

“Oh now Nora you knew that this was going to happen.” I stood up to run but he had my hand. “And I'm going to have fun doing this.” He said as he bit on my hand. I pulled away and started running to the front door. He was there in a heartbeat.

“Please don't.” I said as he walked to me.

“Oh baby you know I will make it as fast as I can.” He grabbed at me as I stepped back.

“What you do to Sean?” I stepped back again.

“Nothing yet I wanted you to wake up first so that I could show you how painful he death is going to be.” I fell at his feet.

I stood up and ran. I ran for the stairs. He was right behind me and I got to the top. He grabbed at my foot. I kicked him off and ran. Shouting the door to my room I started crying.

“Sean!” I yelled. I wanted Sean I wanted to tell me how sorry I was that he had to die because of me that I shouldn't of pulled him into all of this. I let my head fall against the back of the door.

“Nora.”

“It was the boy voice, he was here.”

“Nora!” He screamed.

Where was he?

“Nora!” I walked into the bathroom and then turned around into Sean arms.

“Sean you're okay.” I hugged him as much as I could.

“Oh Sean I thought Louise got to you.” I didn’t pull away from him. He kissed the top of my head.

“He did.” I began to pull away. “What? What are you talking about?”

“Nora I've been shot in the back.” He hug become light. I moved my hand away from him. It was red.

“No. No. No! Sean, oh, Sean. I'm sorry.” And just like that he fell to the grand. Trying the best I could to help him be as comfortable. I looked down at his eyes started to close.

“I love you Sean.” He eyes opened fast.

“You heard me Sean I love you. I wanted you to know that.”

He draw in a breath and let it out slow and then his head fell. I cried over his body. I brushed back his hair from his face and kissed him lightly on the lips. On the other side of the door I could hear Louise trying to open the door. I looked down at Sean one more time. Louise kicked open the door.
