Midnight Delivery

Chapter 12. Nightmares

Demi awoke during the night to cries but when she found that dayna was still asleep she frowned. Her little sister was tossing and turning with sweat dripping from her pours. Her cries for help made Demi's skin crawl.. She sounded so desperate.

It wasn't the first night that demi had witnessed it. Since dayna arrived she'd had bad nightmares but they were never this extream.

When dayna began to get verbal and aggressive demi decided to wake her. Dayna shot out of her sleep. Panic took over her and she scrambled across the room.

"Hey its okay" demi stood up, raising her hands to show she wouldn't hurt her.

Dayna locked eyes with Demi and that's when she crumbled.

Her back hit the wall and she slowly slid down curling up into a ball, her sobs fillng the room.

Demi's heart broke at the site and she quickly made her way over.
She crouched in front of her placing her hands over daynas "its okay.. You're safe. No one can hurt you"

Dayna looked up, her tears still running free "I'm sorry" she whispered

"Don't b-" demi went o touch her cheek but she flinched away "I didn't mean t-"

"I'm gonna take a shower" dayna stood up and made her way to the bathroom.

Demi just sat on the floor confused by everything that had just happened.

The bathroom door opened and demi scrambled to her feet. It was now 7am, dayna was in there for two hours.

"I'm fine" dayna mumbled "it was just a nightmare.. I overreacted" she sat down on the bed.

"We both know you're not okay" demi softly spoke. Dayna furrowed her brows.

"You've been having these nightmares for months and they're getting worse"

Dayna sighed fixed her towel "theyre nothing.. They'll go away"

"What are they about" demi asked.

Dayna froze and shrugged "it doesn't matter"

"Yes it does I know they scare you and I want to help" demi sat beside her but dayna stood up.

"I don't want to talk about them" she went to her suitcase.

"I think you need to. The longer you keep them in the worse they get. If they're just nightmares you shouldn't be so scared to say them aloud"

Dayna sighed and grabbed some clothes and her makeup bag "I'm done talking about this" she spoke and went to the bathroom again.

When she arrived back out demi was gone and a note was there instead.

'I have meetings all day but when I get back we're talking! - Demi'

Also in the room was Lauren who laid on the bed with her phone hovering above her.

When she heard dayna she sat up, leaning back on her hands "don't you look pretty" she smiled "what's the special occasion?"

Dayna rolled her eyes and laughed "I didn't sleep well so I looked like shit"

Lauren frowned "that's impossible"

"Looking ugly? That's my life" she chuckled.

"On I know that.. I meant not sleeping" she teased.

"Dick" dayna pushed her and she fell back.

"Boobies" Lauren smirked

Dayna frowned confused.
