I was woken up by heavy breathing and a squeaking sound. I sat up and saw that it was still dark. I looked and saw Matt was thrashing around, and he was still sleeping.

I quickly shot up and ran to his side. I sat down on the edge of the bed and tried to wake him up. I tried shaking him but he wouldn't open his eyes. I then Straddled his lap and began to lightly pat his cheeks and calling his name. He then woke up and shot up so when he sat up, our faces were inches apart. Even tho it was slightly dark, I could still see his sweat glistening In the small amount of light. My eyes locked with his and he was panting. "Uh- I should..get back to sleep" I whispered and he looked down.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked before I could go back to bed. He then nodded.
"Tell me what happened" I said and he sniffed.
"I was in a dark place, and then I saw my parents. My parents would always abuse me. So I began running but they began to chase me." He explained and I looked at him with sad eyes.

Although I just met him, there's something about him that attracts me towards him.

He then wrapped his arms around my waist and then I felt warm drops on my shoulder.
"Aww don't cry, it's alright. I'm here" I whispered.
"Do you want me to sleep next to you?" I questioned and he nodded. I then slowly pulled away and stood up. He scooted over and I laid down next to him.

I know Matt's parents abused him but he looked terrified when he woke up. Like not the usually terrified face when you wake up from a nightmare but the one where it looks like you are about to have an attack.

I brushed off the thoughts and then I pulled the covers over us and I snuggled next to him and I closed my eyes.
