"We're Gonna Be Alright"

|| 9 ||

The room is cold and unfriendly.
The windows are black and a few trickles of water can be seen.

It's raining. The lightning lights the whole room through the curtains and the thunder can be heard from inside the walls.
My clock says 3:08 after midnight. I lift my head and retreat. The darkness is too much to handle.

I try to turn on the lights but i can't. Is this from the rain?

Suddenly, i hear steps from the other side of the door.

Is it Jason?

"Jason?", i whisper quietly.

The door opens and a black figure starts walking through the room, coming to me.

"Jason?", i repeat too scared to move.

"Yeah?", he says and i calm down.

But right after that, the figure gets violently on top of me, so fast that i can't realise what's happening.

"JASON!", i scream helpless, but the figure pushes me harder on the bed, getting my shirt off.

My eyes are full of tears and i try to push him away, but he is much stronger than me.

"C'mon Ariana. You've done this before. Sit quietly before i make it even more painful for you.", i hear Daniel's awful voice.

How did he find me? Where is Jason?

"HELP! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!", i scream trying to breathe.

"ARIANA WAKE UP!"

I open my eyes. Tears are rolling down my cheeks and my sobs can't stop.
Jason is sitting near me and a little light is on.
It's raining, just like my dream and the clock says 3:08 am.

"You were having a nightmare.", he says concerned.

"I know, i know."

"You wanna tell me?"

I wipe my tears away with my hand and try to breathe normally.

"He was trying to hurt me.", it's the only thing i say.

Knowing my new boundaries, he comes closer to me and hugs me calmly.

"Is this okay?", he asks with a worried voice.

"It's fine.", i manage to say.

When i pull away, he looks me right in my eyes.

"Can you please lay with me?", i say.

He seems shocked and i am shocked too, for saying that.

"Wha..what? Lay with you?"

I feel new tears coming from my eyes.

"Yes..please."

He turns off the light and lays close to me.

He wraps his arms around my waist and puts his chin on my shoulder, very carefully.

As the minutes pass, i relax more and more in his arms.

I think he's already asleep. I close my eyes and stay like that.

I didn't have any other dream that night.

Sorry for my awful grammar😣😣I just finished eating a watermelon and i guess it helped me with the chapter or something😺😺
