The Four

Nightmare

June's POV
"June!" I hear a familiar voice yell. "It's just a dream your okay!" I hear the same voice again. I hear him but I can't see him. All I see is my father's face. He is walking towards me until he's right in front of me holding the only picture I have of my mother and I. He drops it, making the glass shatter. I scream. I begin to cry as my father laughs at my misery. "Don't let him hurt me!" I yell hoping someone will save me. "June listen to me. Relax. It's only a dream just shut your eyes then open them again. I'm right here." I hear the voice say. I do as he says and shut my eyes. When I open them I see Alex standing me. My cheeks are wet from the tears but my throat dry from the screaming. Alex pulls me into a warm embrace while whispering in my ear "It's okay. I'm here now. He can't get you when I'm here." His voice is soothing. It makes my breathing normal and my tears to stop falling. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have Alex. It scares me. If I have a nightmare and Alex isn't there with me, what happens?

"Hey Alex?" I say once my breathing returns to normal. He raises an eyebrow to indicate I should continue. "Can I get out of here?"
