//Sorry, 4th of July plans got in the way of writing// sorry if this is bad, I haven't written in a quick minute and it was kinda rushed//

I've had night terrors since I was a little kid. They stopped for a few month when Sam asked me to move into the house. But ever since Sam started doing the 3 am game things, they've been back. 

On this particular night, I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep unless I had another person present, that always helped me fall asleep but it never really helped the night terrors. I decided to go to Colby's room because I have known him the longest apart from Sam. Colby knew of my night terrors so I didn't think he would have a problem with it.

"Hey Colbs, do you think I could stay with you tonight?" I asked opening his door a bit

"Sure, whats up? Can't sleep?" He asked looking up from his phone. I nodded. Colby's my best friend so me sleeping in his room wasn't a big deal.

I turned off the light and got in bed. I said goodnight to Colby and fell asleep. At around 2ish I woke up and started crying. Colby, being the heavy sleeper he is, didn't wake up so I didn't go back to sleep that night.

I grabbed my phone and just started going through social media like usual. Time seemed to go by slower than ever. At around 9am I got up went down stairs and made breakfast for everyone.

I turned on some music and started making pancakes. Jake came downstairs while Marinero by Maluma was playing. I was singing along in a horrible spanish accent when he snuck up behind me and scared me half to death

"Spanish music huh?" Jake said walking up behind me

"Fucking hell" I turned my music down and looked at him "Dont do that to me" I said

"Sorry, you look like you havent slept in years. you okay?" He asked concerned.

"Yeah, just had a hard time sleeping last night, and the night before" I said serving him some pancakes

"Damn, I'm sorry. I get that though" He said shoving food in his mouth.  I made the rest of the pancakes and sat in the TV room and turned on some Netflix. Jake came in and sat next to me and I put on "100% Hotter" because it's amazing.

An hour or so later the rest of the house came down to eat. We shot a couple YouTube videos. Corey and Aaron started playing Fortnite so Devyn and I went shopping.

"Have you slept the last few nights?" Devyn asked

"I mean, not really" I answered

"Are the night terrors back?" She asked in a soft tone. I nodded

"Can you tell me about them? Like what they are about and why you can't really sleep. You dont have to if you dont want to" she asked politely. I decided to tell her since I hadn't really talked about it with anyone

"Well, usually, I dream about death. And it terrifies me. All my friends and family die or they come back from the dead and try to kill me. So I wake up and I cry and I'm usually too scared to go back to sleep. They only thing that really helps me is if someone comforts me back to sleep" I started to explain

"That's really shitty" she said with a sorry look on her face. I changed the subject and we just kinda talked about animals the rest of the way.

We got back and the boys had ordered Taco Bell for everyone. We ate and then we all headed to bed. I started thinking about my night terrors and I decided to go to Jakes room.

"Hey Jake?" I asked opening his door

"Hey, what's up?" He asked 

"I was.. uh.. wondering if I could.. um.. Maybe stay in here tonight. You can totally say no" I said the last part quickly
