The Light Behind Your Eyes

The sun gets really annoying when you're constantly walking in it and the only clothes you have are the black ones you packed, for three weeks. New Jersey was never this hot. Where the hell was I? Frank's signals weren't any stronger, and neither was I. There were times when I could really feel it, but then, like me, it grew weaker and weaker. I can't even explain how many times I've had to change my route.

Lindsey hadn't called me in panic since Frank was kidnapped. It surprised me, a lot, considering she was his guardian. But then again, my phone died within two days of running.

God, it was really fucking hot.

I needed to find somewhere to stay. I needed food. I needed Frank.

*DURING FRANKS NIGHTMARE*
I was excited to sleep and to see Frank again. I had been visiting his dreams every night, making sure he was okay. I was exhausted but it was all worth it. I got to see him smile and that's all I needed.

I laid down, somewhere, (I had been sleeping in ditches and things for the past four days) so I could fall asleep. I felt my eyes widen and panic spur throughout my body. Fran was falling asleep, without me.

I couldn't even shut my eyes. "What the fuck...?" I thought in confusion and panic.
"Tsk tsk, Gerard." A voice snickered. Someone was in my head and inside my thoughts.
"Who's there?" I asked.
"Oh honey, I'd think you'd at least remember my voice?" The voice teased. I did know. It was obvious, Helena.
"Leave me alone." I stated sternly, feeling my stomach drop and my guard raise.
She laughed. "Oh honey," she started, "you and I both know," she paused, "you're not as strong as you want everyone to think." She chuckled
My stomach turned. "Helena!" I yelled, feeling a forced fear, overcome my body. "What are you doing to him?"
"Nothing that concerns you, honey!" She laughed again.

I felt something wrap around my neck. It was a force, squeezing my neck. Helena was chocking me from miles upon miles away. Cold air swept across my body. I shivered in major, discomfort. "Let... Me.... See... Frank.." I said in whispered gasps.
"Not. Tonight. Honey." She whispered and then cackled.

Squeezing getting tighter with every chance I tried to break free and feeling scared, I couldn't sleep. Not because I was feeling fatigue, but because I couldn't enter Frank's dream. It was the only way I could sleep. Even then, I'm still conscious...

My body ached with the fear Frank was feeling. Something was hurting him and I could feel everything. Every ounce of pain that Frank felt, coursed through me. I cried and pleaded for Helena to stop. After six hours of pain, six hours of not knowing what was going on with Frank, six hours of being choked, it all stopped.

When Frank finally woke up, my heart, or whatever, sank. He started to become angry, with me. I felt it throughout my body. He became so angry, it broke me. I had to hate myself. Not only because this is all my fault, but because that's what Frank felt. Hate for me.

He eventually fell back asleep. I tried again but he had blocked me out, somehow. I felt scared, not knowing what was going on. Not knowing if he would wake up again.
Fuck...

When I finally took the time o realize where I was, I felt exhausted. Extremely tired. I had never felt so tired and hot before, not to mention at the same time. I looked around the desert-looking space around me. I stopped at a sign that said "100 miles until Reno, Nevada." I couldn't believe that I had walked so far. I walked across the damn country and had never felt as close to Frank than ever.

Cars flew past me as I continued walking across the dry earth. I was just about to crash when I heard a car stop.
"Hey man, are you okay?" A voice made me turn around. I squinted to see a man figure, but not long enough to make out the details of his face. The next thing I knew, I was laying in dirt, unconscious...
