Cimorelli and Lauren's Problem

more nightmares

when we got home i was so tired.  mike carried  me in instead of the wheel chair.  mike carefully set me on th couch.  then mom and christina brought down some blankets and pillows. 

"youre going to sleep on the couch until you get better.  this way you dont have to go dow the stairs."  mom put a pillow next to me.

"can some one else sleep down here too?" i was scared rachel would come.

"sure" mom puts a blanket  on me.

"ill go see who wants to" christina walks off.

"are you comfortable?" mom asks.

"yes, thank you" i lay my head down.

"ill go make some dinner" mom goes into the kitchen.

i close my eyes for a little but open them again when i hea people running into the room.

"lauren we are sleeping down here too" dani says happily.

"thanks" i tell them.

amy sleeps on the couch with me, because its a big couch.  alex, dani, nick, christian, and joey sleep in sleeping bags on the ground.  

we started to watch a movie and mom brought out some dinner for us.  it was fun.  but when it was time to sleep i was scared.  

everyone had fallen alseep except for me.  it was windy outside, branches would hit the window and i would hide under the blanket.  i finally got a little bit of sleep.

*dream*  

i woke up on the couch.  so did everyone else who slept with me in the living room.  one by one the packed up and went upstairs.

"where are you going?" i asked.

"we dont want to be done here. what if she comes!" joey ran up stairs. they are all gone.

"what about me?!" i get up and slowly make my way to the stairs.  when i reach the bottom step i hear

"where are you going?" it was rachel.

i spin around to see her with a crazy grin. i dont answer.

"lauren should i teach you some manners? youve been very bad."

"no please" i shake my head.

"dont talk back" she pins me against the wall. and brings out her knife.

"one for not answering" she cuts my arm. "another for talking back" she cuts next to the other one. "and last for sending the police after me!" she screams as she cuts a hug cut down my arm.

"AAAHHHH!" i holler in pain.

rachel punches me in the stomach "get tough!"

rachel keeps beating me even when i fall to the ground.  "you have to toughen up!"

i hear a cough and look up.  my family has been watching.  what the heck!

"help please!" i plead.

they shake their heads no. "we could get hurt"  my dad said.

my dad!  i thought he didnt want me to get hurt.

"time to die" rachel grins

"no, please" i beg.

rachel raises a gun at me.  right before she pulls the trigger i wake up.

*end of dream*

i woke up sweating and shaking.  i couldnt breath right. i started to cry.  

this must have woken up amy "lauren, whats wrong"

i dont answer i just curl into a ball and cry.

"amy whats up with her?" alex ask.  i woke him up too i guess.

"i dont know" amy puts a hand on my shoulder. "lauren, please tell us whats wrong"

i look up at her with tears running down my face "nightmare"

there was silence. "was it about the person who hurt you?" alex sat next to me.

i nod.  "oh lauren, she wont hurt you anymore" amy hugs me.

i stay in amys arms the rest of the night, eventually we fall asleep again.  this time no nightmares.
