New Girl/Theo Raeken/Teen Wolf

Chapter 16

Jessica POV:

I see it all again. The man, the death of my mother, the gunshot, everything. I can't wake up. I need to wake up. I can't wake up.

My breathing becomes rapid and short, my body shaking and my forehead covered in sweat.

I can't open my eyes, I can't move. Why can't I move? I feel panic wash over me like a wave.

What do I do? What can I do? Why won't I stop shaking?

I suddenly feel a hand shaking my shoulder and someone calling my name, but my mind is fuzzy and it feels like I'm paralyzed.

What do I do?

Theo's POV:

It was quiet for a little. Jessica was peacefully asleep in my arms. I smiled to myself and held her waist close to me.

Eventually, I yawned and closed my eyes, sleep washing over me.

Suddenly, Jess' body started shaking. I looked down to see that she had tears streaming down her face, and her breathing was short and rapid.

Her heartbeat increased and she was sweating. What was happening?

I stroked her back slightly, trying to see if that would calm her down, but it didn't seem to work. 

It seemed like she couldn't even feel my touch. Her body continued to shake and wouldn't stop.

Tears continued to stream down her beautiful face and I frowned. Than it suddenly hit me. She was having a nightmare, and it was clear that she couldn't wake up.

I sat up slightly and shook her shoulder. "Jess" I whisper, hoping that she'd hear me and wake up.

It didn't help. She kept shaking and wouldn't stop. "Jess" I say louder, shaking her shoulder more fiercely, but again, it didn't work.

What am I going to have to do?

Jessica POV:

I herd someone calling my name and shaking my shoulder. I have to wake up. I can't wake up. The nightmares won't stop.

I continued to hyperventilate and shake uncontrollably and I just couldn't stop despite my desperate tries.

Suddenly, my eyes snap open and my body jolts upwards and my mind takes control of my body.

My breathing is heavy and rapid, and tears are streaming down my face. Theo reaches out and pulls me into his arms.

I sob loudly into his chest and wrap my arms tightly around his torso. He gently rubs my back, quietly whispering smooth, reassuring words into my ears.

He holds me close as I cry. I hate those damn nightmares. They're always there and they never leave me.

I sit up slightly, my body still shaking a little, but my breathing was almost back to normal.

"Hey, calm down" Theo whispers softly, stroking my back with one hand, the other on my waist.

I take a deep breath in an attempt to calm myself down, and makes me feel a bit better, but still, the memory of my nightmares still haunt me.

I let out a shaky sigh and look down, a single tear slipping out. Theo brings his hand up and cups my cheek, wiping the tear with his thumb, causing me to smile a little at the affection.

He smiles at my reaction and sits up more, hugging me. I rest my head on his shoulder.

"Better?" He asks softly. I pull away and nod. He gently, but firmly presses his lips against mine for a brief moment.

I smile and press our foreheads together. He smirks and pulls me closer, so that our bodies are pressed together.

Suddenly, the nightmares didn't seem to matter at all, like they never even happened. I smiled and hugged him tightly, enjoying the contact.

We sat there for a few moments, when Theo laid back, and I curled up on him. "I'll be there" he whispers softly.

I smile and nod. "Thank you" I say before letting sleep claim me, and hoping that the nightmares will stay away.
