Thirty-Seven

                    I awoke with a horrible frantic feeling in my chest. Something felt horribly wrong, but I couldn't figure out why.

I think it had something to do with my nightmere.

Jae had been in it.

Somehow he had convinced me to move back in with him.

I yawned and lazily rubbed at my eyelids.

Everything was still dark out. I think I managed to squeeze in only a few hours of sleep.

I rolled over onto my side, and blinked against the shadows.

I was about to kick off my blankets and go use the restroom when something next to me shifted.

What the hell?

I pushed myself up onto my elbows and peered over.

My heart flopped when I realized that there was someone lying next to me.

At first I thought that maybe it was Conn.

But then I remembered that I had been staying at Nick's place.

And then.....

I snapped my head around.

This wasnt Nick's room.

The dark feeling in my chest intensified when my distortion finally wore off.

I wasn't staying with Conn or Nick anymore.

I was back with Jae.

This was his room.

That nightmare wasnt a nightmare, it was real.

My body fell completely numb when an arm wrapped around my waist.

"Its four in the morning Elinis". Jae's voice was thick, and husky from sleep.

I didn't like it.

"I cant sleep". I replied quetly.

He hummed softly then rose up on his elbows. "Should I get you something to help?"

"No. It's fine".

I didn't want to sleep anymore. Not with Jae lying a few inches away.

"Come on. Lay back down". He pulled me closer. "Just relax".

How in the hell was I supposed to do that?!

My body wouldn't stop shaking. And my skin was crawling.

Everytime Jae let out a breath I could feel it on the back of my neck. It would send shivers down my spine. Not the good kind.

Jae's arm around my waist suddenly tightened. "Your shaking Elinis".

No shit.

I refrained from answering him. I knew that if I spoke right now my voice would fail me.

I was too wound up.

I brought my knee's to my stomach and nestled my face into the crook of my arm.

Since I couldn't bring the blanket over my head this was the second safest way I knew how to sleep.

I was stuck in that position for a long time.

At least, until I felt Jae's hold around my waist go slack.

I let out a breath and carefully moved his arm. I grabbed my phone from the nightstand then slipped out of bed.
