Please, Stay Alive

Chapter 11: The Nightmares.

"Well there is no way I am staying here then!" Emily states as she jumps up from her seat.

"Not too fast Doll! You're staying here!" Bucky smiles as he grabs her waist and drags her back down.

"If I throw up, I will throw up on you!"

"Fine by me!" He retorts back with as she rolls her eyes and the movie begins

The group watches the movie, an hour into the movie a scene starts to pop up on scene and Emily digs her face into Bucky's chest. "Nope No! I can't, I can't, I can't!" She says out loud covering her ears.

"Hey, It's okay, it's okay, I got you." He says soothingly, rubbing her hair back.

"It is NOT okay, she just got her arm cut off to put in on a scale!"

"She needs to survive!"

Emily makes a vomit sound and everyone starts to laugh at her reaction watching her instead of the gross scenes in the movie."Stop laughing at me, it's disgusting!" She exclaims. Once they've all calmed down they continue watching the movie with a few more side commentary by Emily. Once finished they all head up to their rooms for the night. "I hope you get disgusting nightmares Barnes."

"Sweet dreams to you to Emily" He states and laughs as he walks into his room and closes the door. A half hour goes by as Emily is just about to settle into sleep mode she hears groans and cries coming from Bucky's room.

She runs out of her room and to Bucky's door, she knocks on it a few times but with no answer she opens the door slightly and peaks her head in. He lays in bed, agitated, she makes her way over to him, fully concerned she sits on the edge of his bed and starts to shake him lightly. "Hey, Buck, wake up, it's okay, hey hey." He jolts up taking a huge breath, his eyes are frantic. "Hey it's okay."

"What happened?"

"You tell me. When I said I wanted you to have nightmares, I wasn't being serious, Buck."

"It's not because of you. I get them often."

"Is it always that painful?"

"Yep," he states as he begins to sit up rubbing his eyes.

"I'm sorry... Do you want to talk about it?"

"Maybe later..."

"Okay," she states with a smile and grabs his hand, "do you need anything? Like a glass of milk? I don't know."

"No, that's okay, thank you." He states with a small half smile.

Emily smiles back, as they stare into each other's eyes for a while, as they were still holding each other's hand, Emily is first to break the silence and clears her throat looking down. "Okay, I think that hum.. I think I'm going to get going." She says timidly, as she lets go of his hand and approaches his door she hesitates for a second.

"Wait!" He says quickly, her hand is stopped on top of the handle and she turns to face him. "Can you stay? Just for tonight? If you don't want to I completely understand--"

"Sure, no problem," She states with a smile to comfort him. She walks over to his bed as he scoots to the side to make space for her. She immediately wraps her arms around him and holds him tightly to comfort. She plays with his hair slightly, tussling it between her fingers as they begin to lay down, Bucky falls asleep first and soon after Emily follows.
