I secluded myself in this room I called my own for days. I didn't leave. It was just a nightmare after a nightmare. I was curled up in the duvet when I heard a soft knock on the door. 

"Come in," I mumbled. I saw the door open and Remington was standing there. 

There was a small window in my room that was open, shining the moonlight on his face. It highlighted his dramatic cheekbones and jaw structure. 

"You're normally asleep by this time, Y/N."

I shrugged, I didn't really care; I can't sleep restfully anyways. The nightmares always seemed to never let me be fully rested.

"I can't sleep," I said softly, looking at him as he remained in the doorway.

Remington came and sat down next to me, "Well, why is that?"

I shrugged again. I didn't feel like telling him, they were too personal. I let out a heavy sigh.

"I've been having awful, awful nightmares. They just keep getting worse and I-" I was hearing my voice crack, and I felt a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. I knew I was crying, or at least somewhat crying. It was awful and I hated it. I hated showing my emotions because it made me feel vulnerable. 

I hated that feeling. 

I could see the pity in his eyes. I hugged my knees to my chest and I lied my head down. I felt a hand rub the center of my back. Was Remington consoling me? I gave him a confused look.

"Do you wanna know why you're really here?"

I nodded softly. I kept my eyes on him while he thought of the proper things to say. 

I sighed softly, I lied down in my bed while he sat in the middle of it.

"The reason you're here is that because...."
