Preston

"Preston! Help! It hurts!" Kenny's screams echo clearly from my burning house. I stand there, unable to move.

"Kenny!"

"Preston! This is your fault!" he shouts angrily. I hear him cry out, shrieking until his flesh is burnt to ash. What have I done? I burry my head in my hands.

"Preston, this is your fault. Your fault, your fault, your fault." The words haunt me.

"No, it was yours for leaving the lamp on!" I yell.

"Your fau-"

I shoot into a sitting position, bumping heads with Savannah.

"Preston?!? Are you alright? You were screaming!" she asks worriedly. We both rub our foreheads, giving one another apologetic looks.

"It was just a nightmare," I whisper, trying to convince myself of the truth.

"Oh Preston, I'm sorry you had to go through this," Savannah sighs, hugging me. I wrap my arms around her, and rest my head on her shoulder.

"Kenny was telling me it was my fault," I breathe.

"It wasn't."

"I know, but it was my house, my lamp," I counter helplessly.

"He left it on, Preston."

"I know..." I shut my eyes. "Savannah?"

"Hmm?" she murmurs.

"I'm... scared," I admit.

"Of what?"

"Of having to fall back asleep, and seeing it all over again."

"Preston, it's okay... I can sleep with you if you want," Savannah offers innocently.

"Sure," I mumble, scooching over to one side. Savannah gets under the covers next to me, and I pull her into my arms. With her head buried in my broad chest, I fall asleep once more.
