"Ahh!!" I hear a loud scream yell out in the middle of the night. My eyes fly open, and I jerk out of bed. I look around my room with darting eyes. What the hell was that? "No!!" another screech rings in my ears. My eyes go wide, and my heart starts thumping hard against my chest. I know that scream. It's Stephen. I jump out of bed, leaving Trash behind. I race to my door and fly down the hallway. 

Knock! Knock! Knock! I bang roughly on Stephen's bedroom door. 

"Stephen, let me in!" I yell at the door. 

"No, no!!" I hear him cry out again. I take both hands and bang them on the door as hard as I can. 

Bang! Bang! Bang! My fists hit the door. 

"Steph!! Open the door!!" I shout, my throat hurting from yelling so loud. I can hear loud sobs echo in his room.

"God, no!!" he yelps. 

"That's it! I not waiting for you!" I declare. I open the door and slam it behind me. I look across Stephen's large room. I see him writhing in his big canopy bed. Without thinking twice, I run over to him. I can tell that's he's having an intense nightmare. It hurts my heart to see him like this. I have to help him and wake him up. I go to his side and start shaking his bare shoulders. "Stephen, Stephen, wake up," I let out. He keeps trashing his body around. I swallow hard. "Stephen! Wake up!!" I yell at his face. I start shaking him violently. Still, to no avail. I get down in his face. "Stephen wake-" I start. His eyes fly open, and I feel sharp pain as his hand goes across my face, slapping me. I jump back, holding my lip and tasting blood from my lip. His eyes are wild, searching the room. He spots me in the dark, the only light being the moon from behind the curtains over the huge widows.   

"Get out!" he screams wildly at me. I drop my hand from my face, so he can see my clearly and walk closer to him.

"Stephen, it's me," I tell him quietly.

"Leave me alone, Dormammu!" he wails. My heart stops. He's still dreaming. I go over gently.

"Please, Steph, it's me, y/n," I explain, getting closer. I can see tears run down his sweaty face.

"Just let me be. Please...," he cries. I reach him and bring my hands up to cradle his face.

"I'm not going to hurt you. I promise. Pinky promise," I say quietly. Stephen's eyes soften as they adjust to look at my face. He's fully awake now.

"Y/n?" he asks like he has to make sure it's me.

"Yes, Steph. It's me. I'm right here." I stroke the side of his face. 

"Oh, y/n..." he sobs. He takes his arms and wraps them around me. I slide onto the bed and let him fall into my arms. I hold him against me and rub his bare back. 

"Shh, it's okay, Steph. It was just a dream," I explain. His body shakes as his weeps onto my shirt. 

"It was so bad, y/n. It was awful," he whimpers.

"What was?" I ask. He pulls back and looks at me with a tear-stained face. His eyes are full of pain and fear. 

"What happened with Dormammu," he tells me. I search his face and can tell he is truly in distress.
