Chapter 23: Tired

Ink POV
Cmon, sleep. Fall asleep. Why can't I sleep!? Error was asleep next to me. For a quick second I saw him awake and with blood on him.
It was just another hallucination but it scared me enough to get me crying.
I had to cover my mouth. My phone started ringing. I screamed. Error jolted awake. He hugged me and kissed me immediately but I kept screaming.
He picked up my phone and answered it.
"Hey Grey hows it going?" He asked.
He kept trying to calm me down.
"Wait really...? Ok...yeah I'll...ill tell her that." He hung up.
When he got me to calm down I was shaking. The voices kept whispering and telling me to kill myself. He shouldn't have to deal with me.
"Um...Grey said Quill is non-binary. Honey do you know what that means?"
I nodded.
"Ok. Now, what caused this one?"
"I...I don't know." I lied.
That only got him more concerned. He held me close.
"Baby you can't keep these as secrets from me. I'm here to love and help you." He told me.
"...I know..."
He fell back asleep after a half hour. I was still wide awake.

Pj POV
I was just in the store with Quill when a girl came up to me.
"...yeah?" I asked, confused.
"I'm-"
"And I'm aromatic." I said.
I immediately turned and continued shopping.
"Pj, what's aromatic?" Quill asked.
"I don't like romance." I answered.
  When we got home dad was on the couch with mom napping in his arms. Quill ran to them and shook her awake.
  That apparently triggered something.
  "STOP!" She screamed.
  Her eyes were red. She was shaking and dad seemed to be holding her back. When she came back to reality she saw Quill and gasped.
  "Oh...baby I'm so sorry! I-I didn't mean to...I-I didn't know who...I..."
  She started crying. Quill hugged her.
  "It's ok mommy. I'm sorry I scareded you." They said.
  Dad looked concerned.
  I asked him what was wrong.
  "...I'll tell ya later. Just...try not to trigger anything."
  I nodded and went to see Grey. But to my displeasure, Coco answered the door.
  "Pj! It's good to see you. Grey's drawing right now but, I'm sure he'd love to see you." He said.
  He let me in and Grey looked up at me. He smiled and we went out for a walk.
  "So, what's new?" I asked.
  "...I bought a ring!" He said happily.
  "...ok?" Realization hit. "OH! Uh...t-that's great." I said.
  I was lying. He can't get married! Then he really won't have any more time for me!
