"JOE!" Taylor yelled as she shot up. She was sweating, hyperventilating, and her head was pounding. She started looking around frantically. Where was he? Why was it so dark?...Where's Joe!? "Joe? JOSEPH!?" She called again. She looked down at her hand. It...it was normal...not red and bloody like before...but... Where? Where is...

Taylor gasped as a hand gently touched her right shoulder. Shortly after a second hand touched her left shoulder. "Taylor...I'm here..." Joe said in a soothing voice.

"Joe! You're okay! I thought..."

"You had a nightmare." Joe replied calmly. His hands slowly moved over Taylor's shoulders and across her chest, meeting in the middle as he moved closer to hug Taylor. "I'm okay. You're okay."

Taylor could feel the warmth of Joe' body against her back. "Joe.." She sobbed as tears welled up in her eyes.

"Shhh. It's okay." Joe gently rocked Taylor. "I need you to do something for me."

"A-anything!" Taylor replied as tears streamed down his face.

"Close your eyes." Joe instructed.

"Wh-what?"

"Trust me, Taylor. I'm here. You can feel me." Joe squeezed Taylor tighter. "I'm not going anywhere."

"O-okay...." Taylor closed her eyes.

"Now take a deep breath in." It was shaky and slow, but Taylor took a deep breath. Joe breathed in with her. "And out." They breathed out together. "Again." The second time was a lot less shaky. "Out." Taylor could feel herself calm down. "One more." Taylor breathed in. "And out." Taylor's breathing was back to normal. "Now open your eyes."

Taylor hesitated for a moment but slowly opened her eyes... It was... her room. It was dark, but with the moonlight pouring in, she could see everything. She looked once again at her hands. They were normal. No dripping with blood. Just normal hands. She brought them up to her face and gently wiped her tears away. She reopened her eyes and saw Joe' hands over his chest. She smiled and placed her hands over Joe'.

"Do you know where you are?" Joe suddenly asked.

Taylor nodded "On my bed, in my room."

"Do you know what time it is?"

"Uhhh.." Taylor tried to look to the clock on her bedside table, but couldn't see it from this position. "I can't see the clock, but it's night time."

"Good enough. Last question. Do you know who I am?"

Taylor closed her eyes and smiled again. "You're Joe. My Joe."

"Well...The correct answer was 'The Light of my universe, and love of my life' Joe. But I'll accept your answer anyways." Joe joked.

Taylor chuckled and muttered under her breath "Cheeky brat..."

Joe finally let go of Taylor and moved back until his back was against the wall. "Lay down in my lap."

"Are you sure? What about--"

"I'll be fine. I've slept in worse positions."

"Besides, it's not about me. It's about you. So come on."

Taylor sighed and laid down with his Head in Joe' lap. And finally, for the first time since her nightmare woke him up, She Saw Joe' face. She reached up and gently cupped Joe' cheek "Joe....I love you."

Joe rubbed his cheek against Taylor's hand. "I love you too, Taylor. Good night."

"Good night." Taylor lowered her arm, and closed her eyes as Joe gently ran his fingers through her hair.
