I lie awake in his bed, staring at the ceiling as I clench his blanket in my fists. I watch as shadows pass through the room, the sudden urge to flee back home filling my mind. I wish I was back at home with my little lamp in the corner, protecting me from the darkness. I'm absolutely terrified of the dark and I have been since I was a kid. Now, as I lie awake in a strangers bed, I'm more terrified than ever. Horrible thoughts run through my head as I try to calm down, my breathing coming out in ragged breaths. I finally get the urge to get out of bed and head to the living room.
I tiptoe into the room, only seeking his comfort. I slowly kneel down in front of him, lying down on the carpet as I take his hand into mine to sooth myself. I sigh as I close my eyes, feeling slightly better knowing that I'm not alone.
"Hmm?" Sean stirs in his sleep, his hand suddenly clenching mine. I let out a squeal as he crushes my hand. He bolts up, pulling his hand from mine. I freak out and hide my face in my hands, terrified he was going to leave me alone in the dark.
"Dixie?" he questions in a deep groggy voice. I squeak again, lifting my face as light shines through the room. "What are you doing in here?" he asks, running a hand through his messy hair.
"I-I..." I begin, unable to speak. My throat tightens as I try to figure out how to explain. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. "You know how I messaged you about my fears? Well, I didn't mention I'm afraid of the dark. I came out here for comfort but I didn't want to wake you, so I just lied down and held your hand, finding comfort in the contact," I rush the words out, keeping my eyes closed so they would come out easier.
"Oh," he whispers, a look a realization on his face. "Come on," he extends his hand out as he stands up, revealing that he's in nothing but pajama bottoms. I blush as I take his hand, allowing him to pull me up off of the floor. I follow him back to the bedroom where he pulls me into the bed, pulling the covers over top of us. He pulls me to him, letting my head rest on his chest. I listen to his heart beat, my eyes slowly closing.
"Goodnight Dixie," he whispers, rubbing his hand on my back.
"Goodnight Sean," I whisper back before falling asleep, a smile on my face.
