You woke up in the middle of the night by George shaking you like crazy. you shot up into a sitting position and looked over to him. he had turned the bed side lamp on and was looking panicked. you looked at the clopck and the red lines read 1:45. Too early.
Y: whats wrong?
G: you were screaming in your sleep and sweating like mad
Y: i was? (touching your fore head and realising it was soaked)
G: what were you dreaming about?
Y: there was a man and he grabbed me and i couldnt get away and he started pulling my hair and shouting at me and then you were just watching, laughing at me and telling him to carry on an-
G: me?
Y: yes
G: i would never do that to you
Y: promise me you wont let anyone hurt me?
G: (pulling you onto his lap rocking you forwards and backwards) i did last night babe... but i promise (kissing your cheek)
Y: i need some water
G: wait here i will get you some
he left the room and you sat in bed. it was dark in the room because the lightbulb in the lamp was just heating up so only let off a dimmed light. The window was open blowing a slight wind into the room which made the hairs on the back of your neck shoot up. Sounds of cars below echoed through the room and shouts from drunken idiots slowly but surely making their way home to either their wives or their mistakes. The curtains blew from across the window revealing the moon hid half behind a dark cloud that looked like a picture from a horror movie. You noticed that the moon was the same when you were getting attacked and then your mind went into a frenzy of memories of the night before and not good ones! you jumped out of bed and into the dimly lit hallway.
as you walked the floorboards underneath you creaked which made your heard pound in your throat. you tiptoed until a loud bang from George's door slamming from the breeze echoed the hall and without thinking you ran to the kitchen shouting George's name.
Y: (entering the kitchen) George!
he shot around but you didnt see George, you saw that Luke guy. as he walked closer you backed away until you hit the cold wall.
L: we meet again baby
you start pinching your arm trying to wake yourself up. you hoped it was a dream but it wasnt working. you slapped yourself round the face in hope to, again, wake up but no. it wouldnt work.Luke grabbed you and you tried to scream but no sound escaped your mouth. you wriggled from his grip and tried to run down the hall but your legs wouldnt move which led to Luke laughing
L: (whispering in your ear in a husky tone) there is no escape
You shot up in bed and looked beside you to see a worried George next to you. you wiped your head and it was soaked.
Y: what the
G: what?
Y: i woke up and you were there all caring and then you left and when i came to see you, you had turned into Luke an-
G: wait! who is Luke?
Y: one of the men who tried to... you know
G: (pulling you onto his lap, again) it was just a bad dream
Y: thank god for that
you looked to the window and it was closed. the light next to the bed was bright. you knew this wasnt a dream and you felt safe in George's arms. eventually you fell asleep in his arms and he fell asleep hugging you tight and making sure he didnt let you go. he wanted to protect you even when you were asleep.
