Forever

Chapter 8- Nightmares

      I looked around at my surroundings. It was dark outside, and the wind was blowing harshly.
      "Hello?" I called, shivering from the cold.
      "Y/n..." a voice whispered behind me.
      I turned around, "Hello?" I called again.
      "Follow the voice..." it whispered.
      I stepped forward slowly. The voice said my name again and I walked a little faster. I saw something black flash through the trees.
      "Hello?" I said again.
      My stomach was turning at this point. The suspense was killing me.
      Something jumped at me. It grabbed my foot and began dragging me. I clawed at the ground, screaming and yelling.
      "No! No!" I screamed, "Help! Get off of me!"

      "Y/n!" There was a sharp whisper.
      I opened my eyes. Fred was kneeling before me.
      "Y/n." He said softer.
      I lunged forward and wrapped my arms around his neck, "Oh my God." I panted.
      "It's okay, I got you." He whispered, "It was just a nightmare. You're safe now."
      I put my face into the crook of his neck, "I-It was dragging me, and my foot hurt, and-"
      "Y/n, Darling," he pulled away and cupped my face, "It's okay."
      I went back to hugging him, "I know." My voice quivered.
      "What are you doing out here?" He asked.
      "Your sister doesn't wanna see me." I said.
      "I see." He whispered, "Do you want me to stay here with you?"
      I nodded, "If that's okay."
      "It's fine." He told me. He crawled into the couch, "Okay, nope, it's way to cold down here."
      He grabbed my hand and pulled me from the couch, "Where are we going?"
      "My dorm, it's warmer there." He said, walking to the stairs.
      "Wait," I said, stopping him, "what about your roommates?"
      He shrugged, "It's just Lee and George, it'll be fine."
      "Are you sure?" I asked.
      He continued walking, "Positive."
      We walked up into his dorm. It's a lot messier up here than in the girls' dorms. He led me to his bed and I climbed in.
      He came in after me and pulled the covers over us. He set his head on the pillow and stared into my eyes.
      He brought his head forward and kissed my nose, "Goodnight, Darling."
      "Goodnight." I said back.
      I rolled over so my back was towards him. He put his hands on my arm and pulled me back towards him. He put his right arm under me, and his left arm over me to spoon me.
      He moved my hair with his left hand, then he sat up a little bit and kissed me on the cheek.
      I can't even explain in words how I'm feeling at the moment.
