Alex's POV--

I'm typing at my laptop late one night when I hear thunder break overhead. I gulp and turn away from my desk and look up at the ceiling. Oh fuck, not now--NOT NOW!! I think frantically and swallow down a scared whimper. I look across the room to where my best friend, John is sleeping in his bed. I save my work and scramble under my desk and blink back tears. I choke back sobs as the thunder gets more frequent and louder and louder. The thunder gives way to a loud rain which pounds down on the windows and roof. I Jolt as I hear the rain and am instantly plunged into a memory.

MUM? JAMES?! WHERE ARE YOU? I screamed as rain and wind whipped at my face. I span around in circles in the street. James who had just been holding my hand was now gone and there was no sign of him at all. I turned around and screamed as I saw a large wave crashing in at the beach nearby which surged over the sand and ate up the road. I stumbled and sprinted as fast as my short legs could carry me, but it was no use. The wave came crashing towards me, eating up all the trees as it went by. I screamed as I swept up by the wave. I churned my arms and legs to stay afloat but I was instantly pulled down by the wave. Water filled my eyes, nose, and mouth and I chocked on water as I tried to gulp air in. Muddy water swamped my vision and black edged the surroundings. My eyes were half closed now as I let my body go as I was pushed by the powerful current. I looked up at what could be my last look at light. I closed my eyes and all was black. It was so peaceful down there, quiet with the occasional rumble of the water. I wanted to fall asleep, but I couldn't. Not yet. I tried to move my limbs but they were frozen limply. I opened my eyes and looked up. I saw a shadow over the water. The silhouette was small and reaching out towards me. The shape suddenly became clearer but still fuzzy. I blinked, confused as I heard my name being called faintly. Alex! Alex! The silhouette becomes clearer and I reach out a shaky hand to it. Alex? The person cries out and takes my hand. John? The silhouette clears up and John was sitting in front of me at the desk, shaking me gently. "J-John..?" I sniff and lurch forward and wrap my arms tightly around him. John wraps his arms tightly around my shuddering form and plants a kiss  on my head.
"Its OK now, Alex, I'm here now, c'mon, let me take you to bed." John whispers softly and picks me up gently by my waist. I wrap my legs around his waist and bury my face in his shoulder and cry out when thunder breaks again loudly. He takes us over to his bed. He puts me down and gets in with me. John wraps his arms around my waist and spoons me. I smile and turn to face him. I shake slightly but I smile at him and he smiles back softly.
"T-Thank you John.." I say softly and snuggle close to him and he runs his fingers gently through my hair and holds me tightly as lightning and thunder break outside, making me whimper and curl into his chest. John sings a soft lullaby to me to take my mind off of the storm. I shake as the rain pounds down even harder. I feel sleep take over my body and I fall into a deep and peaceful sleep, the first I've ever had during a storm.
