(You open your eyes to see yourself in a field..)

Jay: Hello..?

Voice: Jay?

(You turn to see your grandma..)

Jay: Grandma?

(She opens her arms)

Grandma: Come here.. (with a smile on your face you run towards her.. but with each step she gets more and more far..)

Jay: Grandma? NO! WHERE ARE YOU GOING? (She goes out of your view, As you stop the field turns black..)

Grandma: Jay? (Hearing her voice again you gleefully turn.. only to see a car coming straight at you at full speed!)

Jay: AAAAAAH!

(You wake up… with sweat all over your body.. Niall turns on his lamp and sits in front of you..)

Niall: Jay are you okay?

Jay: Yes I am.. (you check your phone to see the time)

23rd June 2015, Tuesday.

01:34 A.M.

Niall: Did you see a bad dream?

Jay: Kinda.. I'm sorry I ruined your sleep.

Niall: You didn't ruin it.. what's the problem?

Jay: *Sigh* I should have told you before but, After the accident I started having night terrors, for the past few years I didn't get any until last summer after my grandparents death.. My mom slept with me again so I could sleep peacefully and thankfully I got better again. I think because this is a new place it might take me some time to get used to it and that's why I got another night terror. But it's okay you should go to sleep, I will try to be awake..

Niall: What? No. Wait.. you didn't sleep last night?

Jay: No.

Niall: Can I help in any way?

Jay: I don't know.. (you see him think for a moment..)

Niall: Get up.

Jay: What? Why?

Niall: Just get up.. (Confused, you obey.. You stand as he pushes his bed more to the middle)

Jay: What are you doing?

(Silently he pushes your bed in his direction so the beds stand besides each other..)

Niall: Will this help?

Jay: A double bed?

Niall: Well you said you slept besides your mom, so if having someone next to you will help I'm happy to oblige.

Jay: This won't make you.. uncomfortable?

Niall: Well just don't… fart.

(You laugh)

Jay: I appreciate your offer but.. it's okay I don't want to make you uncomfortable.

Niall: Oh hell no, I'm not going to let you stay awake all night. You're Sleeping.

Jay: But-

Niall: Get in the bed.

Jay: Okay, Okay.. (You slowly lay down on your side of the bed.. and he lays down besides you)

Niall: Good Night!

Jay: Goodnight.

(He turns off the lamp.. you sleep with your back turned to him.
