Lillian relaxed against him and her body fell limp with sleep.
Darren sighed and hummed quietly until it turned to soft singing, "You said if you don't let it out, you're gonna let it eat you away. I'd rather be a cannibal, baby, animals like me don't talk anyway. Feel like an ambulance, chase her away, pray I could replace her. Forget the way her tears taste, Oh, the way her tears tasteâŚ"
(Because Darren gets to sing too)
Lillian liked his humming. She liked his voice. In her sleep she found herself wanting more.
âPut another X on the calendar, summerâs on its deathbed. There is simply nothing worse than knowing how it ends. And I meant, everything I said that night I will come back to life. But only for you. Only for you,â
"What the-?! Oh! Oh I get it. Invisibility. Cool!" Add that one to the list.
Ryan looked up, he didnât know that he couldnât be seen, âwhat are you talking about?, â
"You're invisible. The only thing I see is a floating guitar."
Lillian made a soft cooing noise in her sleep.
"You're invisible. The only thing I see is a floating guitar."
âThe fuck?!â He jumped up and scampered around the room, only becoming more panicked when no oneâs eyes followed him. âHow The hell do I fix this?!â He was right behind Bell now.
She jumped in surprise. "Jesus! Warn a girl before you do that! You scared the hell out of me. Anyway, just think about being visible again. That should work."
Lillian made a soft cooing noise in her sleep.
âYou came back to life more than once so put an X on the calendar for thatâŚâ he decided to just talk to sleeping girlfriend. âNow youâre hurt when you sleep⌠I wonder if Ryan is okay,â
She jumped in surprise. "Jesus! Warn a girl before you do that! You scared the hell out of me. Anyway, just think about being visible again. That should work."
The embarrassment that had caused the invisibility had already gone away and so he did is told⌠it worked. âCan you see me?â
"Yep! You're back." She smiled, still trying to calm her staggering heartbeat from being jumpscared.
(Hey guys, I have my first varsity meet of the season tomorrow so I think Iâm going to try to get some sleep⌠is that okay?)
"Yep! You're back." She smiled, still trying to calm her staggering heartbeat from being jumpscared.
â now that I know how you react to jump scaresâŚâ he smile intently.
(Yeah I have stuff to do tomorrow. Freshman orientation is at 9 a.m. tomorrow morning.)
Lillian made a soft cooing noise in her sleep.
âYou came back to life more than once so put an X on the calendar for thatâŚâ he decided to just talk to sleeping girlfriend. âNow youâre hurt when you sleep⌠I wonder if Ryan is okay,â
Lillian couldn't hear his words, but was sad that that the singing had stopped. She didn't mind, his voice was soothing.
(9 am. Damn ours was at night⌠Good luck with that though)
"Don't even think about it. I am always armed so scaring me will only raise the chances of you getting a knife through your chest."
(Yeah totally, also have fun at orientation.)
Lillian made a soft cooing noise in her sleep.
âYou came back to life more than once so put an X on the calendar for thatâŚâ he decided to just talk to sleeping girlfriend. âNow youâre hurt when you sleep⌠I wonder if Ryan is okay,â
Lillian couldn't hear his words, but was sad that that the singing had stopped. She didn't mind, his voice was soothing.
âIt's a little bit funny, this feeling inside. I'm not one of those who can easily hide. I don't have much money, but boy if I did, I'd buy a big house where we both could live. If I was a sculptor, but, but then again, no. Or a woman who makes potions on a traveling show. I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do. My gift is my song, and this one's for you and you can tell everybody this is your song. It may be quite simple, but now that it's done. I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words, how wonderful life is, now you're in the world. I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss. Well, a few of the verses, well, they've got me quite cross. But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song. It's for people like you that keep it turned on. So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do You see, I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue. Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean⌠It's yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen. And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple, but now that it's done. I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words. How wonderful life is, now you're in the world. I hope you don't mind. I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is, now you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in the world,â
(Someone kill me.)
( Sigh. how would you like to go to die?)
"Don't even think about it. I am always armed so scaring me will only raise the chances of you getting a knife through your chest."
â itâs not like that would kill meâŚâ
Lillian made a soft cooing noise in her sleep.

Lillian cheered mentally, the singing came back! She snuggled against him as a deeper sleep overtook her. Soon the singing voice was nothing but a memory.
Darren smiled, he loved that song, Elton John real classic. He held tighter to Lillian, heâd stay as long as she needed him to and despite his own exhaustion, he feared the blood too much to sleep.
"Even so, I'd rather not have to do that."
(Good luck with orientation Jackie)
