Mistakes ||Sequel to Party||

Leondre's POV:
Although I told Charlie about the dreams, they won't stop haunting my mind. Every single night it gets worse. It's like I lose everything I have every night, over and over again. I don't know what to do to stop them.

I wake up shaking and crying. The scenes in the dream keep replaying over and over in my head. I sit up, I don't want to fall asleep again, I just can't. 'Cause then I will keep seeing these horrible things in front of me. I take a deep breath, trying to calm down, but it doesn't work.
I turn my head and look at the sleeping Charlie beside me. He looks so cute. I can't help but get a felling that I really don't deserve him and that maybe he doesn't want me... Like in the dreams.

'Shut up, Leo!' I think to myself as I shake my head. I can't let myself think that the dreams are real, 'cause they aren't, right?
I wrap my blanket around me and try to shake off the thoughts. I want me and Charlie to be like old times; happy. But it won't work if I keep getting those nightmares. I think about them all day long and it keeps me distracting from everything else. I can barely do schoolwork anymore.

I throw myself on my back and stare up at the ceiling. I have no idea for how long I lay there, maybe an hour or so. The tears are still streaming down my face and I sob quietly.
Suddenly I hear Charlie move and I immediately fall silent. At first I think he's still asleep or at least fall asleep again, but then he turns around and looks at me. I try to hide that I'm crying, but even if it's dark, he can still see the tears in my eyes. Without a word he pulls me into a tight hug. I hug him back and cuddle up next to him. We lie like that for a while, but I seriously can't fall asleep again. Charlie notices and strokes his hand over my cheek.
"Wanna watch a movie?" He asks comforting. I would love to, but I don't want him to lose sleep because of me.

"You should get some sleep." I answer, trying so hard not to sob.
"Don't worry about that, I can't fall back asleep either." Charlie sighs and turns on the small lamp on his bedside table. He sits up and looks at me. "How are you?"
I just shrug my shoulders, I don't know what to answer anyway.
"Still having those dreams?" He asks with a sympathetic look in his eyes. I nod slowly and he wraps his arms around me. "It's gonna be okay. I will never ever do that to you, I promise."
"I know... But I still can't get rid of the dreams for some reason." I reply sighing and Charlie looks at me. He slowly leans in and kiss me before standing up and grabbing his computer on the desk in the corner of the room.

He lies back down in the bed and pulls up his blanket again.
"Geez, it's really cold." He shivers and I can't help but giggle at him. He turns on his computer and looks over to me again. "What do you want to watch?"
"I don't really care." I smile back, wiping away the tears.
"You sure?" Charlie asks.
"Yeah." I answer and watches as he chooses movie.
"Then it'll be some romantic shit." He smiles at me.
"I'm okay with that." I chuckle and he pushes play.

We lie there in silence, cuddled up to each other, while watching the movie. I hate romantic movies, but I have to admit that this one was actually pretty good.
Charlie has his arms wrapped tightly around my body and it makes me feel safe. I feel his warm breath against my skin and it makes me really comfortable. I'm glad I have him.

It's a really short chapter, sorry about that.
