Secret Lovers

Chapter 5 - Nightmares

- Abel's POV -

   I laid in bed with a sleeping Jake in my arms. He looked so peaceful laying there that I didn't want to disturb him, but I had to pee, really badly. So I slowly, yet reluctantly, pulled him out of my arms so I could get up.

I went to the bathroom to do my business and washed my hands afterwards, while walking back I heard a whimper like sound coming from my bedroom. I came back to see Jake curled up into a tight ball, gripping the sheets as tightly as he could. I quickly turned a small light on so I could see better and go over to him.

   "Jake? Love what is it, talk to me, wake up hun." I whisper to him and gently shake him, in hopes he'll wake up.

   He just continued to toss and turn until I had to force him to wake up. He looked over at me with those beautiful blue eyes of his, which were filled with pain and fear. I wanted nothing more then to get rid of every insecure, pain filled emotion he had going on in his head.

   "Jake, love, what's wrong?" I asked him quietly.

   He started to shake his head no slowly, I sighed and decided to just ignore it for now.

   I held him closely to my chest, "I'll ignore what happened for now, in the morning though you will give me answers ok?"

   He nodded his head yes and laid his head back onto my chest. I sighed again and rubbed his back soothingly, so he would fall asleep faster, and felt my own eyes start to get heavy. I kissed the top of his head and pulled the blankets around us for warmth.

   "I love you Jake." I whispered to his sleeping body and closed my own eyes. Hoping for nothing but good dreams to come to him, to leave only hope and love in his eyes instead.

   I ran faster then I think I've ever ran before. It's right behind me, I can't let it get to him. I'll die before it hurts him.

   I tripped over an overgrown root sticking up out of the ground, causing me to stumble and fall down a small hill that resulted with me in a pond.

   My legs were tangled in moss or something, because I couldn't get out. My whole body was underneath the water. I saw a figure standing at the edge of the pond looking at me, not doing anything to help, just starring.

   I reached down to try and get myself untangled and free. I was running out of air and fast, soon the world around me started to go black.

   Is this how it's going to end? Me drowning by a plant in a pond?

   I looked back up towards the figure and saw it smirk at me and walk away.

   With my last breath turning against me, I drowned into a world unknown to me, and for the first time in my life I was scared.
