Alex's POV (Nightmare.)
Jay ran as quick as he could, desperately trying to escape the abandoned, stone building. I wasn't far behind, catching up with him as I ran after him. My gun was in my hand, it was loaded and ready to fire. All I had to do was catch Jay!

Jay approached a dark brown wooden door, reaching out to open it. He pulled the handle, but the door didn't open. He pulled harder and harder, needing the door to open, but it wouldn't budge. Jay had reached a dead end!

I slowed down as I got closer to him, seeing he had nowhere else to go. He looked at me with fear in his eyes. He put his hands up in surrender; I could see the tears about to flood down his cheeks.

A part of me felt sorry for Jay, the other part didn't care. But it doesn't matter, I had him cornered! I no longer had any control over my actions, I hadn't for a while now! I raised my weapon, aiming it at Jay. I placed my finger on the trigger, ready to shoot. Jay looked at me, calling my name, begging me not to do it. I didn't have a choice, I had to do it. I braced myself before pulling the trigger of my gun. Jay looked away as he screamed "No!" My vision faded to black for a second and I realised I was lying down.

I shot up opening my eyes, yelling Jay's name. I realised I was in my bedroom, lying in my bed. I calmed my breathing down once I'd realised it was just a dream.

I slowly looked over at the other side of the bed. I see a figure lying there before hearing someone speak. "Are you alright baby?" The voice asked. It sounded like Jay but more ghostly and solemn. I feel it placing its hand on my shoulder. It oddly felt wet and cold but strangely warm at the same time.

I looked over to the side of my body which the hand was placed, reassuring Jay I was ok and just had a nightmare. But once I fully got to look at his face I screamed! Jay wasn't his normal self. His eyes were completely white, his lips blue, his skin pale looking slightly grey, bloody gunshot wound in his side, his hand covered in the blood from his open wound!

I was horrified! Seeing Jay like that was sickening! I then woke up once again, screaming as I sat up. I was in jays room this time. The brightness of the room was lighter then before in my nightmare. Had I really woken up this time or was I still dreaming?

Alex's POV (Awake.)
Alex: *Shot up after nightmare.* "AHHHHH!" *Hyperventilating and trying to calm down.*

Jay: *Waking up.*

Alex: *Calming down breathing.* "It wasn't real Alex. It was just a dream. Jay's ok!"

Jay: *Sits up. Places hand in shoulder lightly.* "Alex?" *Worried.*

Alex: *Flinches.* "Ahh!" *Sees it's Jay.* "Oh my god Jay! Don't scare me like that!"

Jay: "Removes hand.* "Sorry. I didn't mean to..." *Sympathetic.*

Alex: *Relaxes.* "It's ok. I just... had a nightmare that's all."

Jay: *Sits crossed legged.* "Well.... Did you want to talk about it? That normally helps me!"

Alex: "Sure. Just give me a second to comprehend everything!"

Jay: "Ok I'll wait."

Jay's POV.
As I was sleeping in my bed I felt something moving next to me, tossing and turning about. I thought it was just Alex trying to get comfortable and shook it off. That was until I heard a petrified scream and felt someone rapidly sit up. I wiped my eyes and look over at the now wide awake Alex. He was hyperventilating as he sat next to me. What happened to him? Did he have a bad dream?
