Nightmares

I have had nightmares for years now and it always makes me never want to sleep. Tonight was one of those nights I know it will be bad. Normally when I'm with Damon they aren't as bad but he is out of town with Stefan so it's just me.

I walk downstairs to get a blood bag and sit on the couch. Elijah walks out of his room to see me in the couch.

" what are you doing still up?" He asks with a hoarse voice.

" I am not tired." I lie. No one knows that I don't sleep most nights. It isn't that big of a deal but with a over protective family and boyfriend it is.

" y/n I can see the bags underneath your eyes. When is the last time you slept?" He asks sitting next to me.

" Tuesday" I say as low as I can but he picks it up.

" y/n! It's Saturday. Why haven't you slept?" elijah questions me.

" nightmares. And since Damon is out of town they got worse."

" sister, you need sleep. We may not be human but it makes us stronger. How about I make you some tea and you sleep on the couch and i will sleep on the other couch. If you have a nightmare you can wake me up." To tired to argue i just nod.

He gets me my tea and a blanket.

I finally decide to go to sleep.

It's around 4am when I get a nightmare. I jolt awake and start shaking.

I looked over to lijah who is asleep on the couch. I didn't want to but I did anyways

" lijah." I say hoping it would wake him. I successfully did so and he opens his eyes.

" I'm sorry to wake you up but I had a nightmare and I don't want to be alone." I say in a hushed tone trying not to wake the others upstairs.

" it's alright sister. Do you want to to watch one of these new movies they have now?"
