Jacob's pov

I woke up screaming and sweating so much the sheets were wet, tears were running down my face i screamed again and started to cry. 

"Shut up" said Enoch opening the door "if you have nightmares try to keep them to yourself"

"I'm sorry" I whispered "please go away"

Enoch left slamming the door behind him.

The door opened again and i quickly wiped away my tears scratching my cheeks in the process.

Miss Peregrine stood in the door way.

"Mr Portman why are you making such a racket this early in the morning you woke up everyone in the house"

"I'm sorry i had i nightmare"

Emma appeared behind Miss P

"Oh my god Jake are you OK your cheeks are so red" she ran over to me and wrapped her arms around my waist "Why are you so hot and wet. Are you sick"

"No i just had a nightmare"

"Are you OK"

I nodded i didn't want to open my mouth because my stomach was churning as images from the nightmare came rushing back.

I felt the blood drain from my face, my cheeks got hot, my stomach doing somersaults.

"Jake look at me" said Emma "Are you OK"

I shook my head and she pulled me closer to her. Emma's hands were hot on my bare back but, it didn't hurt, it was more like the heat was me knowing she was there and that she was real.

"It's OK" said Emma.

I rested my head on her shoulder and tears fell from my closed eyes wetting the fabric of her night dress. Miss Peregrine left the room and gave us some privacy.

"Look at me"

I turned to face Emma and she held my face between her warm hands. Tears were still falling down my cheeks and she used her thumbs to wipe them away.

She leaned towards me and pressed her lips to mine i leaned into her kiss and i felt her fiery warmth spread through my body. I felt tired and my eyes began to close.

"Get some sleep" whispered Emma.

I slowly fell backwards onto my bed and fell asleep quickly with Emma laying next to me.
