Elena POV

I was having the sweetest of dreams probably ever, one with Harry in it and one that only elaborated off of those wonderful kisses from yesterday when I was frantically woken up for seemingly no reason. I groaned and slowly opened my eyes as the dream fled from my mind and left me wanting so much more of it, but all I got was the panicked voice of my aunt,

"Elena, Elena wake up! Harry isn't waking up!"

I shot awake at that alone, what does she mean Harry's not waking up?! I looked at her with sudden panic and felt a shot of adrenaline go right through my system as I threw the covers off of me,

"What do you mean he's not waking up?"

I tried to speak calmly, she stammered for a moment before grabbing my hand and pulling me out of bed,

"I tried to yell to get him to wake up!"

Harry's such a light sleeper... why wouldn't he wake up at yelling?! I froze for a moment, in absolute shock and horror as my mind immediately went to the worst possible outcome... please tell me this isn't happening right now! I ran from my aunt's grasp and flew out the door, slamming it on the wall in the process but I didn't care. I ran across the hall and opened Harry's door to see him in bed turned away from the door,

"H-Harry?"

I stammered out, nothing. I trembled and ran towards the bed and gently put my hand on his shoulder and looked at his face. In a frenzy, I felt my muscles tense and spasm which happens sometimes when I'm immensely nervous which was right now. With the spasm, I somewhat inadvertently hit his shoulder where he shot awake and looked up at me. I let out a huge sigh of relief and sank to the floor as I caught my breath.

My aunt peeked in and I simply gave her the thumbs up, she took a large sigh of relief and slowly walked away from the door to give us both a minute to wake up and me a minute to breathe. I put my hand over my pounding heart and took a few deep breathes before shakily standing up again to look at him,

"Goodness Harry, you s-scared me"

I muttered as I leaned on the bed for a moment. He peeked up at me from what I have just now realized is my weighted blanket and calmly and curiously tilted his head at me,

"Huh?"

Goodness, he's probably still half asleep too. I sat on the edge of the bed and took a few more deep breathes,

"My aunt tried to wake you up by talking and eventually shouting and you didn't wake up, she came over to me because she knows you're a light sleeper and gave me the impression that you somehow... passed away in your sleep or s-something"

I said with a violent shiver running down my back. Harry slowly sat up which led me to look back over to him. The normal dark shadows under his eyes were gone, his hair was messier than ever, and his eyes looked very bright compared to normal. He tilted his head at me and untangled his arms from my blanket to grab me and pull me closer to him ever so gently,

"Gods I'm sorry about scarin' ya love, on the bright side I feel... I feel amazing"

I looked up at him and smiled a little bit as I finally caught my breath completely which allowed me to relax considerably,

"You do?"

He nodded and slowly laid back down again, he yawned and curled his arms all the way around me which made me giggle a little bit,

"Mhm... I feel very much alive, took yer advice and wrapped myself in this last night..."

He uncoiled one arm from around me and threw off the top layer of the bedsheets to reveal that he was completely cocooned in the weighted blanket,
