Safe Space

The knocks were soft at first, gradually increasing in sound at your lack of response. You jolt awake, confused, as you look around your dark room, eyes locking on your alarm clock. You groan at the numbers: 2:30 am. Reluctantly, you get out of bed, concluding it must be an emergency.

When you look through the peephole, you’re surprised to find Will dressed in his pajamas. You quickly open the door, giving you a better view of his attire. He was wearing no shoes, his feet caked with dirt. He looks completely out of sorts as you usher him inside.

“What?.. What am I doing here? What time is it?” Will’s voice trembled as he looked around, eyes clouded with confusion. You’re just as confused as him; his house is miles from yours. You can’t believe he managed to get here without being hit by a car.

“It’s 2:30, I think you sleepwalked here.” He just nodded his head, recalling the countless times he had woken up in the middle of the road, confused. This is the first time he’s ended up at your house, though. “Come on, we need to get you cleaned up.” You lead him to your bathroom, grabbing a washcloth to clean his blackened feet. Will just sits there, still trying to collect his thoughts.

After you finish cleaning his feet, you lead him to your bedroom. Setting him on the bed, “Do you want something to drink? You must be thirsty.” He gives a weak ‘yes.’

When you come back, he’s in the same position you left him in, sitting on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the wall in front of him. He gladly takes the cup when you return, downing the glass in one large gulp. He finally speaks up after finishing his water, “I need to get home.”

“I’ll take you in the morning. Right now, you need to sleep. I’ll make sure you don’t do any more wandering.” He gives you a small nod, lifting up the blanket and crawling into bed. You’re making your way towards the door when Will calls out to you.

“Lay with me?” he asks softly. You give a soft “okay,” climbing into the bed next to him. Will and you were officially just friends; unofficially, you were much more than that. While this is the first time you’re sleeping in the same bed, it’s not the first time you’ve watched over him while he slept. Though last time, he was in the hospital.

You smile when you see Will already asleep. He always looks so peaceful when he sleeps, well, until a night terror plagues him. If that happens though, you’ll be there to soothe him back to sleep.
