Let It Go
As I drifted, I saw Enoch in a cave. He was standing there, arms crossed, head down. I saw bodies, one of whom was mine. It scared the shit out of me. Then, I was back. Enoch had fallen asleep in my lap. I looked down at him, wondering if that was what he saw when he had panic attacks.
He looked so cute when he was sleeping, so innocent with his eyes closed. You would think he's a background character to an anime if he were half as innocent awake as he is while asleep. Sleep always strips away the layers that life adds to people, and leaves nothing but a sense of childlike innocence. It's beautiful. I know it's weird to say, but it's calming to watch people sleep.
There was a knock on the door and, thinking it was Danny, I yelled, "Come in!" To say the least, it wasn't. It was Austin, and his bitch girlfriend. "Oh, look at this!" She crowed. "The two fags! Are you cheating on your girlfriend with this?" Enoch popped up, into a fighting stance.
"Get out!" He yelled. "I don't want you here! Be-before-!"
"Before what? Austin showed me your guys' messages, you were such a bitch to him!" His girlfriend yelled. Before she could say anything else, Enoch socked her across the face, tears streaking his.
"Never tell me that again!" Enoch yelled. Austin tried to rush him, but Enoch kicked him behind the knee, causing the kid to crumple like paper. Enoch's eyes flashed to me, then he ran out. I heard a bike chain, and knew that he was fleeing, and I can't say that I blamed the poor guy.
With Enoch
As soon as I got to the cove, I dropped into the grass, and sobbed. I was feeling so many feelings, my thoughts were reeling, all of the calm that I had with Caden had been shattered by those...by those...I don't even know what call them! I pulled out my phone, and dialed a number I never thought I would. The line rang for a bit, then clicked as it went through. "Hello? Emma, is that you?" I heard my dad's voice say.
"It's not Emma anymore, dad," I replied. "It's Enoch. And I need to sing to you, is that okay?"
"Yeah, yeah, that's fine," he replied uncertainly.
"...So come on let it go, just let it be, why don't you be you, and I'll be me?"
