Jerking awake and gasping for breath, Nathan irritably
swiped at the sweat pouring down his face, ignoring how
his hand trembled. When would these nightmares stop
haunting him? It had already been six years, but they only
seemed to get more intense with the passing of time instead
of fading. Glancing at the clock, he saw there were only
thirty minutes until the alarm went off, and he got up
instead of going back to sleep. The sheets stuck to his skin as
he stumbled out of bed toward the bathroom, and they fell
haphazardly across the floor behind him. Dark strands of
hair tickled his cheek, and he brushed at them in frustration.
They’d come free from the small band he used to tie his
shoulder-length black hair back from his face.
His nightmares were always the same. Every detail of that
night six years ago haunted him. The memory of his
mother’s face as she’d mouthed “I love you” just before the
explosion disturbed him more than anything. If only things
had been different.
If his legs hadn’t shattered in several
places. Or if he hadn’t been so angry at his parents and
demanded that they leave the party. His best friend Troy
would tell him to stop playing “What Ifs” because there was
no way to change what happened, and Nathan was lucky to
be alive. But he couldn’t stop wondering if he should have
died that night, too.
At only twenty-two years old, Nathan had seen more than
his fair share of horrors. Every day, he struggled to not let
everything envelop him and drag him back down into the
dark abyss he’d been in following the deaths of his parents.
The pipes rattled in the walls as he twisted the handle for
the hot water. Steam filled the small room in minutes.
Nathan stared at himself in the mirror, studying his
reflection. Dark circles were prominent beneath the green
eyes gazing back at him. His mother had always said he’d
inherited his grandmother’s catlike eyes. Those same eyes
were darker still with the memories never far from his mind.
Raven’s wing black hair, ragged from lack of proper
trimming, hung around his slim face. His aunts were
constantly nagging him because of how thin he was. He
barely ate, and when he did, he hardly ever finished the food
on his plate. His ribs stuck out against his skin, further proof
of how little he consumed.
A light dusting of freckles across
his nose was the only color, and they showed clearly against
his pale skin. He wasn’t unattractive, but a little more weight
on his five-foot-ten frame would help. A white scar trailed
along his temple, about six inches long, but only two inches
were visible; the other four disappeared underneath his
hairline.
