Another nightmare. I thought these would have stopped by now, but it seems I thought wrong. I wake up screaming at 1:30 am. Luckily, the people of Cabin 13 sleep like the dead (no pun intended). However, it seems, Percy Jackson does not, which is made evident by the sharp tapping on my door. I open it up and look right into those ocean-green eyes. "What do you want, Jackson?" I ask. "Nico, that's the third night in a row I've heard you screaming at this hour. Are you okay?" he replies. I sigh and motion for him to come in. The poor guy got out of bed several hours past curfew just to check on me, the least I can do is tell him what's going on. I explain about the nightmares. This action is followed by two very unexpected results. One: oh my gods of Olympus Percy Jackson is hugging me. It's so strange. I don't usually let people this close, but my brainless self lets him wrap me up in those ridiculously muscled arms. Second, when he lets me go, he gives me a serious look and says, "If this happens again, come wake me up. I don't care how late it is, wake me up and give me some sort of signal so I know what's going on. Promise?" All I can manage is a stuttering "Y- yeah." He smiles that goddamned smile, seemingly satisfied, and leaves. What just happened?
