Chapter 4 - A Nightmare

Andrea could feel herself slipping, the sounds of whispers deafened her ear. Nothing else was heard... Just constant harsh whispering from unknown places. Every minute she laid there felt like hours until she eventually jolted awake. Dolores was sound asleep beside her, she seemed peaceful when asleep.

Slipping off the bed Andrea made her way for the door, the need for water grew stronger the longer she took. That dream left her with a dry throat and mouth which wasn't new... She was used to nightmares like that shaking her awake.

The door creaked open way too loud for her liking. She quickly turned around to see if she woke Dolores, finding a still sleeping girl Andrea let out a sigh of relief. She continued her mission trying not to wake anyone as she tiptoed threw the home. Sadly, luck wasn't on her side when she tripped crashing into something? No no Someone? Too afraid to look up she prepared her apology in her head.

"I erm- My bad I didn't mean t-" She was cut off by a groan, a familiar voice spoke with a raspy tone. "It's alright.. what are you doing up so late?" Andrea finally looked up to meet those beautiful hazel eyes once again, "Oh uh a nightmare.." She stepped back while laughing awkwardly. Camilo rolled his eyes before opening his bedroom door, "Come in."

Andrea stood there for a moment, a look of confusion stayed on her face before she followed the boy into his room. It was dark but she could make out the yellow walls and nice wooden floor. It all was fitting for the chameleon boy she's grown to adore.

"So, this nightmare- wanna talk about it" The boy spoke again from his bed, he was laid on his back staring at his ceiling. Andrea walked towards the bed before laying down the same... making sure she left a distance between the two of them, "Well there isn't much I can talk about.. Just stupid stuff." Andrea sighed, she wasn't quite sure why the boy invited her in but she enjoyed the company.

"I doubt it was stupid." Camilo seemed tired but he still stayed up to talk, his raspy sleep deprived voice was weirdly calming. The both of them fell into a peaceful silence, something she has learned to enjoy. She felt a hand reach for hers which startled her a tad before she felt a gentle squeeze.

"Gracias... Camilo." Andrea could hear the shakiness in her own voice, she hated the dreams that kept her awake at night.. Always assuming they would leave her once she moved, escaping the memory of her mother. "You know.. I always hated the people in my hometown, they always gossiped."

"Oh?" Camilo was ready to listen, he wasn't sure why she trusted him but if she needed it then he'll hear her out.

"Yeah... The minute they learned about my mother the whispering never stopped." Andrea let out a dry chuckle before closing her eyes to think. It was weird opening up to someone other then her older brothers.

"Well you aren't there anymore.. they can't bother you here." Camilo squeezed her hand again, trying to reassure her in some way, "Now you should get some sleep, Hermosa." Andrea nodded her head, she didn't leave his room though. Instead she let herself slip into peaceful slumber there, She trusted her friends brother like she did Dolores.

The sun warmed the room around the teens neither of them quite ready to be disturbed yet. Finally, Camilo stirred from his place, feeling an odd weight on his face... he opened his eyes to darkness which startled him a tad. He gently reached to feel his face only to realize his friend beside him was using him as an arm rest.

A groan left Andrea's lip while she rolled over onto her side, removing her arm from Camilo's face. Did she sleep in his room? He barely remembered what happened last night, just remembered Andrea speaking about her nightmare...
