Our Two Bedroom Story

Hayes P.O.V.

I'm not sure that it was just some regular nightmare that Joy had. I don't know her past, but I don't think it's a good one.

I heard her screaming," No Lexi!". But who's Lexi? I can tell she's frightened just by the way she stands on one foot hastily.

"How'd I get in the guest room?" she asks, looking around with her head cocked to the side.

"When you fell asleep, I carried you to the guest room cause I didn't want anyone to wake you."

"Oh, thank you." the expression on her face has a glimpse of happiness, but also a pure terror.

"Joy! Joy! Joy! Come play with me!" Skylynn comes running over to her and tugs on her hand.

"Okay, I'm coming." Skylnn takes her into her room to go play. As for me, I head back to the living room. Nash is laying on the couch scrolling through his phone.

"Hey, how's Joy holding up?" he asks, still staring at the bright screen.

"She said she's okay, but I don't think she's being completely honest. She was screaming 'No! Lexi!' in her sleep."

"Did she look scared when you were talking to her?" he lifts up his head and stares at me.

"Yes. She looked scared to death." I admit.

I'm worried about Joy. She freaked out at the ice rink, was cutting herself in the bathroom, and then was screaming in her sleep. I just wanna help Joy. No idea why, I just do.

"Hayes, where did she sleep last night?" Nash says hesitantly.

"My room, why?"

"Did she sleep good in your room? No nightmares that you know about?"

"Not that I know about. She seemed like she slept fine." I rub the back of my neck.

"Maybe she feels safe around you." he walks over to me and raises an eyebrow in satisfaction.

I roll my eyes," I seriously doubt it. Plus, she probably has a boyfriend.".

"Never know," he says while popping a piece of gum into his mouth. It's minty aroma spreads around the air.

"She wants nothing to do with me, I just know it." Nash smirks and rolls his eyes. My chest feels tingly and my stomach drops. What's going on?

I blink, and next thing I know, I'm laying on the floor. Muffled screams come from Nash that sound like," Hayes! Can you hear me?".

Suddenly, everything turns white and then is covered by complete and utter darkness.

Sorry it's short. I wanted to have it as a cliff hanger. Any ways, I have no idea about the whole Fighter situation cause I'm getting mixed results from everyone. Some are happy that I stopped writing it, but others are pissed off. At this point, I don't wanna write anything anymore. Oh well.
