Fearless part 2

Chapter 2

Brittney's POV

"I'm so glad you got to leave today," Jc said while climbing in to his bed in only his boxers. "And I'm even more glad you decided to come over."

He smiled and kissed me.

"I'm glad too," I smiled back, but frown at the thought of what happened these past few days.

"Hey," Jc says lifting my chin. "It's going to be hard. I know it is, but we can work through this together. You're not alone." He kissed my forehead and we cuddles under the covers.

We laid in silence for a few minutes. I was so exhausted from the past few days that sleep was coming quickly. When I was in the state between asleep and awake I heard Jc whisper.

"I love you."

I couldn't say anything. I just smiled and fell back asleep.

I woke up in the middle of the night sweating. I tried to kick off the blankets but Jc was wrapped up in them so I reached over and turned on the light next to his bed.

"Babe?" Jc asked with his eyes squinted. "What is it? What's wrong?"

"Nothing I'm just really hot." I pulled back the blankets and saw blood on my hands. I looked down at my legs and saw that the whole bed was stained with blood. I screamed.

----

I woke up screaming. I sat up in a bed and I didn't know where I was. I kept screaming unable to move or connect where I was.

"Brittney?!" some girl yelled from another room.

I heard two sets of foot steps running towards me. The door opened and Jenn and Andrea ran in. I realized that I was in the apartment I shared with them in LA. The two of them came in, sat on my bed, and tried to stop me from screaming.

"You're ok. You're ok." Andrea cooed.

"It was only a dream. Everything's going to be fine." Jenn said while smoothing my hair down.

I stopped screaming, but I couldn't stop shaking. Andrea left the room while Jenn stayed and held me in her arms slowly rocking me back and forth. Andrea returned with a wet wash cloth and put it over my forehead.

"You're warm," she said. "This should help."

"Do you want to talk about it?" Jenn asked.

I shook my head, but held on to her arms. I don't want to be alone. Not after that.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"Almost 4 in the morning," Andrea answered. "Why?"

I shrugged my shoulders. I really want Jc to be here, but I don't want to wake him.

"I can call him," Jenn said, "He'll come over for you and you know he will." She read my mind.

"No I don't want to make him drive over here."

"Brittney, he wont mind. He would want to be here," Jenn insisted.

"Ok."

She got up and called him. Andrea stayed with me. I laid down on my bed and had Andrea cuddle with me. I was so exhausted that staying awake was difficult. I tried to scare myself into staying awake by thinking that if I fell asleep I would get another nightmare, but fatigue took over and I drifted off to sleep with tears in my eyes and Andrea's hands in mine.
