SAM POV

God! My body is aching. Those guys took paintball way too seriously. As soon as we got back to Matt's apartment, Matt gave us all ice packs for the bruises we sustained during that very intense battle.

Since we were all too exhausted to even mess around a little but, Matt suggested a movie marathon. Thanks to him and his grand movie collection, we ended up watching movies until midnight. When we all decided to call it a night we faced a dilemma. Who was going to sleep on the sofa? There was only four rooms. Three of which are being used by a couple each.

Josh came up to me.
"Sam you can have the room. It's fine." He says.
"No. It's okay, you can have it."
"I insist. Please."
Damn. Why is he so persuasive?
"Fine."
I grab a blanket and pillows for Josh and help him set up. After we said our goodnights, I went off to bed and fell asleep instantly.

JOSH POV

NO! WHY ARE YOU HERE? LEAVE ME ALONE! YOU'RE NOT REAL! YOU'RE NOT! YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO. IM SORRY BETH. IM SORRY HANNAH. I DIDN'T WANT TO HURT YOU!

I throw my body out of my makeshift bed. My pulse is racing and my body is sweating.
What time is it? Shit! 3AM. I can't fall back asleep. I won't. I don't want to hear their voices. I don't want to be used anymore.

SAM POV

"Sam? Sam?" A familiar voice whispers.
My eyes swing open and my body jumps up in fear of that voice being the psycho that chased me back in the lodge. I know the psycho was Josh but I still have nightmares about it and the wendigos.
"Josh? What are you doing? It's 3AM." I question.
"I can't sleep. Their voices keep haunting me. They won't let me be free." Josh cries.
"Oh." I signal Josh to come sit down on the bed.
He sits down by my feet.
"Do you wanna sleep here with me tonight? There's enough for two in this bed." I ask.
He nods enthusiastically and gets under the covers with me.
"Thanks Sam." He kisses me on the cheek as a thank you.
I blush instantly. Woah. Have I normally blushed so hard around Josh before?
We cuddle up together and fall asleep.
