I jolted awake with a scream. The only person I had woken up was Newt. 

"Jane? What's wrong?" He asked. I threw myself at him and hugged him as tight as I could with tears streaming down my face. He hugged me back, rubbing my back and whispering soothing sounds into my ear. 

After a while I calmed down a bit and slowly pulled away. I didn't look newt in the eyes.

"Love? What happened?" He asked wiping away my tears.

"I-i had a nightmare." I said quietly.

"What happened in your nightmare?" He asked calmly. 

"Y-you died...and it..it was all my fault." I said crying more. 

"Aww, love, I'm not dead I promise I'm right here It was just a nightmare it wasn't real." He said hugging me again. 

I nodded. I decided to ignore how real it felt. It just hurt too much to think that way. Without realizing it I pulled newt to me and kissed him. After a minute or so I pulled back and leaned my forehead against his with my eyes closed. 

"Don't leave me okay?.." I whispered.

"Never in a million years." He wispered back. I cuddled him again. I had somehow fallen into a dreamless sleep for the rest of the night.
