• Neon grabbed the blanket tighter. Her short, sharp breaths surprised me when I woke up. Usually, I would ignore things like that.. But it was Neon. I looked at her eyes, closed shut. There were tears in her eyes. Poor Neon.. I grabbed her hand. The tears weren't stopping. "Neon, wake up!" I yelled. She didn't move. "Neon!" I yelled louder this time. Her eyes came open, red from crying. I suppose she was crying for a long time. She launched herself up and hugged me. She placed her head in my neck, muffling the sounds of her crying. I put my arms around her. I put my cheek against her head. "Neon, it's okay.. Static's here.." I whispered into her hair. I could stay like this forever.. If only I could....
