*nightmare* I was running someone was chasing me. I trip, scrambling I get up again but they catch me. I feel something cold against my back. "Scream I shoot" the voice mutters.

Grabbing my arm he brings me to a run down shed. My brothers are in there tied up. Beaten and bloody. "Leave her alone" heath yells.

Shoving me to the ground next to Kyle and Casey zip tying my hands he back hands me. I fall back as my brothers yell at him and the a shot rings out. He shot one of them. I look around I can't see anyone of them.

The scene has changed slightly. My brothers are still bloody and beaten, gun shots and Stab marks everywhere on them.

They're yelling at me and then they all pull guns out "you killed me" and "you killed us" begins coming out of their mouths as they aim the guns and BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! ring out. It goes black as I scream.

*end nightmare*

A scream wakes me up, tears flooding my eyes as I catch my breath. I listen to see if my brothers come to me. No one does, reaching for my phone I look at the time it's just past 8am on a wkend. I didn't have school but 2 of my brothers had work.

Laying back I take deep breaths closing my eyes to calm down, they spring back open when I get a flash of the nightmare.

My breaths quicken again as I try to take more deep breaths. I soon realise it isn't working fumbling with my phone I swipe on my other brothers name and pray he answers.

"Jay?" The voice questions on the other side. I try talking but my voice is cut short from my breaths.

"Jay. Jaide baby calm down" he tells me.

"I cant" I manage to gasp out.

"Jay, honey, breathe. Deep breaths. In. Out. In. Out" he tells me. I try to match my breathing to his.

"Good, good. In out in out" he keeps repeating.

Finally my breathing evens out. "You ok now Jay?" My brother questions.

Huffing out a laugh and sob "yea" I answer shaky.

"Do you wanna talk about what happened?" He asks softly.

I shake my head "no" I whisper.

"OK. That's OK, want me to distract you?" He asks.

"Mmhmm" I agree.

"Well Harley is crawling and pulling himself up and Darce got an award and came 2nd in cross-country!" He exclaims.

"That's awesome!" I exclaim. Proud of my niece and nephew, also completely distracted.

In the background I hear a voice. "Dad is that aunty Jay Jay?" It was Darcy.

"Yes sweetheart, wanna talk to her?" He asks both of us. We both answer yes.

He hands the phone over "hey aunty Jay Jay" Darcy answers.

"Hey baby, dad said that you came 2nd in cross country!" I say excitedly.

I can hear the grin in her voice "did he also tell you, I'm going to district?" She asks.

"No! Baby, that's amazing! I'm so proud of you" I tell her.

Her voice lowers to a whisper "did he also tell you I got asked out?"

My eyes widen. She was 13 barely a teenager! "No!" I exclaim.

"His name is Alex, he's really cute. He's 14 but he's in my year" she gushes, still whispering.

"He seems sweet" I tell her. "Just make sure he stays that way" I tell her cheekily.

"Aunty Jay! He's super nice to me! He even helped me when those punks tripped me" she mumbles.

"That's good honey, I just worry He might hurt you" I tell her.

"I know. Anyway I gotta go, B is taking me to school. By aunty Jay love you" she says.

"By baby, can you hand me back to dad?" I ask quickly.

"Yep" she responds.

Heath comes back on the phone "you good now Jay?" He asks, concern in his voice. I roll my eyes "yeah I'm good" I tell him.

"Good, cause Case and Brax will be home soon. Go talk to them." He tells me in a stern voice.

I roll my eyes "alright I will"

"Good. I'll talk to you later, love you" he tells me.

"Love you too Heath, and thank you" I tell him.

"S'all good baby. Bye"

"Bye" I respond softly.

Just as I hang up and head to my bath room to splash water on my face the front door opens. Brax and Casey's voices calling out to me.

There's a knock on my door "come in" I yell.

It opens and they come in peering, eyes shining in concern "I'm fine" I tell them.

"I had a nightmare, no I don't remember it. I went into a panic attack and couldn't calm down. I woke up to myself screaming, but I'm fine now" I explain with a half smile going to dry my face after I splashed it with water.

Casey pulls me into a hug "just making sure, Heath sounded worried" I roll my eyes.

"He's a worry wart. We all know that"

I pull out of Casey's hug and hug Brax "your just as bad" tell him with a smirk.

We head out of my room to the lounge room, I grab my blanket and plop on the couch reaching for the remote I put Netflix on and the go through to find a family favourite. John wick.

My brothers come in, one with food, the other with drinks. The take a seat either side swapping drinks for food as we get comfy waiting for the movie to start.

Leaning against Brax, legs resting on Casey. I knew I was safe and whatever freaked me out in my nightmare would never happen as long as my brothers were around.
