The screen on my phone lights up, and I squint at the brightness and read the time. I set the phone back down on my side table and roll onto my back with a huff.

Three a.m. and I still can’t fall asleep.

This would make it day nine since Echo dropped me off at my front door and promptly disappeared into a shadow without a word. I spent the whole drive to my house trying to come up with something that would help him understand my choice, something that would keep him from looking at me like he was completely disappointed, but I came up with nothing.

Now, try as I might, I can’t stop replaying everything in my mind over and over again. I don’t know if I’m punishing myself, trying to cement what happened into reality, or prove that I made the right choice. I feel like I’m losing my mind. I thought walking away would solve all my problems, but it didn’t. Because I don’t know if I’ll ever be the same. I definitely don’t feel the same anymore.

I give up on trying to fall asleep, and get out of bed with a sigh. If tonight is like every other night, I’ll finally crash from exhaustion around eight in the morning. This new schedule is seriously going to fuck with my potential job prospects, but it’s not like there’s much sliding into my emails at the moment. Besides, there’s that little caveat of me still being afraid to leave the house. I don’t think Iceman has been able to find out much about blocking me so I can’t see demons anymore, because I haven’t heard anything. Not that any of them are really talking to me much.

I pull back a curtain panel and look out the window into the streetlight lit night. I can’t help but wonder which one of the demons is out there tonight. I’ve only caught a hint of them once in a while. Everyone except for Crux stays outside though, and they tend to disappear as soon as I lay eyes on them.

It’s a weird feeling, knowing that someone is out there watching me, but not being able to see them. I find it unnerving, even though I know the guys won’t hurt me or allow me to be hurt. If I’ve paid attention to their shifts correctly, then it should be Crux’s turn to watch me tonight. He’s the only one that will still openly talk to me. Even so, it’s just a generic how are you or what’s new, but that’s something at least.

Last time he was on watch, he knocked on the door and helped himself to my couch and TV for an hour. We didn’t chat much, but I was grateful for the company anyway. I was kind of hoping it would become a thing. I’ve realized lately how much I don’t love being alone, but the fact that he hasn’t come in tonight makes me even more anxious than before. He’s probably sick and tired of babysitting me too.
