Willow went to sleep shortly after Ziva left her room. She slept peacefully until around 2 AM.
When she jumped from a horrible nightmare, she realized that she had been crying when she felt her wet cheeks.
Her mind immediately went to Jake. He said she could call him anytime. So she clicked his name on her phone and it began ringing.
It rang almost seven times before she heard some noise and a groggy voice. "Hey..."
"Hey, jake... did I wake you up? I'm sorry..."
"No, no. I mean, yeah you did but it's fine. Did you have a nightmare again?"
"Yeah... a pretty bad one..."
He felt himself falling asleep, and willow could tell. "I'm sorry.. I'll be fine. If you want to go to bed..."
"No no... I'm fine... I'm here for you..." He took a deep breath," Do you want me to come over? I can... sneak in the back. Or something.."
"I think it would make me feel a little better."
"Ok. I'll be right over."
"Bye..."
It was only about three minutes until Willow heard tapping outside her window. She opened it and let Jake in. He had found a ladder and climbed up to her window.
She closed the window and sat next to him on the bed. He put his arm around her. "What was it like?"
"It was... horrible. I mean, it was basically exactly what happened and... the image of him throwing you against the wall...it just haunts me..."
Jake squeezed her a little. "Don't worry... they will stop."
She looked at him sadly. "Will they?"
He lifted her chin a little. "Hey, trust me."
She felt a wave of calm overcome her. The way he said trust was so... calming. She nodded. "Okay," she said softly.
He kissed her softly and she returned. Soon, they fell asleep. They didn't even realize that they had fallen asleep. Jake was going to leave before morning.
However, when they heard a gasp, they both shot up. Somehow in their sleepy state, they got under the blanket and snuggled to sleep.
Andy was standing at the door. He was 10 years old and full of energy and annoyance.
Willow scrambled out of bed, Overton of Jake, who was on the outer edge of the bed. She grabbed Andy's arm and pulled him in the room, slamming the door behind them.
"What's Jake doing here?" He asked, rather loudly.
"Shhh! You can tell mom or dad!" Willow said shushed.
"Ohhh you are so gonna get in trouble!"
"Andrew, I swear. If you speak a word I will make sure the rest of your life is miserable!"
Andy grinned. "Give me your easter candy and I'll stay quiet."
Willow hit his shoulder. "I can't believe you're blackmailing me!!! ...I've taught you well. Fine. It's in the top drawer of my desk."
Andy hurried to grab it. Then he turned around. "You might wanna hurry. The bus will be here in ten."
"What!? Get out I have to get ready! Don't say a word!" She shoved him out of the room.
Then she turned to Jake. "You've gotta go. I'll see you at school." She closed the window after he left and got ready for school.
She got ready as quickly as possible. Then she ran downstairs. She grabbed a banana. "I slept late a little accidentally, so I'm gonna go. Bye!"
