Friends With Magcon

Bad Dreams

*Carmen's POV*

I woke up to Caroline shaking me again. Must've been the nightmares. They can't be back! The doctor said they wouldn't- Caroline's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Carmen, calm down! It's not real! It was just a dream!" she said soothingly. Caroline is the only friend that knows about my nightmares.

"Was my screaming loud this time?" I asked her.

"Yeah. I bet the guys heard it" she laughed, trying to lighten the mood.

"I'm sorry I woke you up again. I have some medicine in my bag just in case. I'll go take some." I say.

"It's okay, Crem, I just want to make sure that you're okay" she says, following me to the bathroom.

"Doc said take two each night, but it will take a couple days for it to kick in. You might want to sleep with headphones in, Carol." I suggest.

"I don't mind. I would rather wake up with you than watch you scream in your sleep" she said.

"Thanks. Now, try and get some sleep, k?" I said.

"K, you too" she said.

I was almost to sleep when I heard a knock on the door. I got up and saw Nash standing there, looking tired. He ha bags under his eyes from lack of sleep. "Nash? What are you doing here at..." I checked my phone "... 2 in the morning?" I asked.

"I heard screaming. I wanted to make sure you were okay" he said, caressing my cheek with his thumb.

"It was me, but I'm okay. It was jut a nightmare" I said.

"Do you want me to stay with you?" he asked sounding concerned.

"I couldn't make you stay up with me" I said, shaking my head.

"It's fine, I just want to make sure you get back soundly asleep".

"I'm taking a wild guess here and saying you won't take no for an answer?" I ask.

"Very true" he said.

"Fine" I said, taking his hand and leading him in.

I eventually fell asleep, with Nash's arms around me, and my head on his chest.
