It was the middle of the night. It was peaceful and everyone was having a good sleep. But... not for Ruby. Ruby starts to have a terrible nightmare. A memory of her terrible childhood. It's just like any nightmare she has almost every week. Each is just a flashback of her terrifying memories of scars and cuts. Some are what she felt like what she thought would happen if THEY finally found her and take her back to the same house of PAIN. But this nightmare appears to be THE WORST. What she is dreaming is her parents taking drastic measures and suddenly killing her own friends in front of her, including her BF, Mark. The second Mark, in her dreams, was killed in cold blood, she finally woke, screaming and accidentally scaring Mark to wake up.

Ruby: *Screams from her nightmares*

Mark: AHH! *Looks at Ruby and holds his chest to breathe after the scare* Jesus Christ, babe. You scared me.

Ruby: *Breathes heavily and starts crying*

Mark: Ruby? What's wrong? Having a nightmare again?

Ruby: *Keeps crying and hugs Mark tight*

Mark: *Hugs her tightly* Shh... it's alright, sweetie. Calm.

Ruby: *Cries a bit louder, but not too loud to wake the house up*

Mark: Shh... *Kisses her forehead and smiles* Don't cry. I'm still here...

Ruby: *Slowly calms a bit* S-Sorry to s-startle you, Mark... *Wipes her tears*

Mark hugged Ruby again. She starts to hear sobbing... from Mark. Mark softly cries.

Ruby: Are... y-you alright, Mark...?

Mark: *Sniffs* S-Sorry. It's just... whenever you cry, it hurts me. I... I felt terrible on how many things you've been through... And even if they're gone, it felt like they're always here... or there... 

Mark starts wiping his tears when Ruby grabbed his arm and kissed him. It caught Mark off guard, but he fell into it. They both stop after it. Ruby softly smiled.

Ruby: Sorry for worrying you... But I felt more safe, actually... whenever I let these things out of my chest. I never have anyone to do this for me until I moved in with you. *Chuckles*

Mark smiles. They look at the time that it was already 5:30 in the morning, so they lay back down, but instead of falling back to sleep, they start to cuddle a bit, together in the comfort of their hearts.
