Dylan O'Brien's little sister

Chapter 17

I wake up and I'm about to start a race with my mum and dad. My friends' and their parents are racing with us too and they wave at us with a huge smile on their faces. A young guy is holding a white flag and waves it indicating that we can start running. A lot of people are running with us and their kids. 

"Why are we running mum?" I ask raising my eyebrow.

"I told you already honey." She says sweetly. "It's a benefit race. We will help a lot of people doing this" She explains and I nood. We keep running for a while and we arrive to the beach promenade. Ahead of us, we suddenly hear gunshots and people screaming and running out of the way. I can't see anything and a girl crashes with me making me fall on my back. I look up and I see my parents with horror reflexed on their faces. 

"Come on! We gotta go!" Mum says and dad picks me up. We start running and I hear another gunshot and see my mum falling down with a wound on her chest. My eyes grow wide open and I try to run for her.

"Mum!" I yell crying. I see a man with a gun coming like crazy towards us and my dad hides with me behind some bushes. "Mum! Mum! Get up! Come here! He will hurt you!" I keep crying. Suddenly I feel someone shaking me.

"Sherlyn, wake up" I hear in a whisper. 

"No. I gotta save my mum!" I sob.

"Sherlyn, it's alright, wake up" I hear again and I wake up breathing heavily. I see Thomas lied next to me on my bed with his hands drying my tears. 

"Wh-what happened? Where's my mum?" I ask looking confused.

"It was a nightmare, little girl" He says looking sad. "Tell me, what did you see? Its said that if you tell someone your nightmares you won't have them again"

"I-I was running with my mum and dad and a man started shooting us and he, he shot my mum in the chest" I say sobbing with tears running through my face. "I'm sorry that I woke you up"

"Hey, don't be sorry. You're one of my best friends little sister so you're like a little sister to me too." He says smiling. "It was just a nightmare, Sher. Don't be scared alright? I'm here with you"

"Can you cuddle with me tonight?" I ask making him chuckle. 

"Sure, come here" He says and he passes his arms behind my back and over my shoulders. 

"Thank you, Thomas" I say and he rubs my back making me fall asleep again.

A/N: Sorry that this chapter was so short but I wanted it to be a dream that Sherlyn has. I hope you liked it anyways! Love you all guys! See you tomorrow! ^^
