Only for you

Nightmare

Jenni's Pov

I jolt up into a sitting position gasping in fear. I quickly run out of my room and into the hallway, as I enter the living room everything starts to spin and I try to stand still.
"You okay Jenni?" Brooke asks me. I couldn't figure out where she was for the life of me.
"Bucket..." I say, weakly, feeling my knees wobble. "Couch..."
Brooke grabs my arm and takes me somewhere and helps me turn around and sit down. She then runs around looking for a bucket.
"Where is a bucket?" She yells, frantically.
I hear a door open and I stand up full of fear. Instantly I regret it as I fall to the floor, numb. I hit my head and the only thing that leaves my mouth was a scream of pain before everything went black.

Brooke's Pov

Jenni was sobbing in her sleep and I could hear it clear as day in the lounge room. Why? I had no clue. Then it stops... everything... it goes quiet... something's wrong... then a silent scream comes from Jenni's room, shortly followed by her footsteps running out. I look at her and instantly got up and rushed to her.
"You okay Jenni?" I ask, her eyes held fear, sadness, and so much more. Her face was covered in sweat and all the blood was drained from her face.
"Bucket..." she whimpers, hardly standing straight. "Couch..."
I grab her arm and took her carefully to the couch. As soon as she sits down I run around the house looking for a bucket.
"Where is a bucket?!" I yell, scared.
I hear the front door, followed by a loud thud and an ear piercing scream of pain. I run out to the lounge room and I see Jake run in too.
"What happened?!" I yelled.
"I don't know!" He yelled back and ran to Jenni. "Call the ambulance."
"No. You call the ambulance, I know what to do." I say, grabbing Jenni's limp body and pushing Jake away.
"But-.." I cut him off with a look that said it all.
"Call emergency." I demand.
"Fine."
I hold Jenni's head and I quickly pull her away from the lounge room where she could hurt herself worse. I make sure that she is completely safe and that I am too before trying to get a response.
"Jenni." I say shaking her shoulders a little, "Jenni, squeeze my hand if you can hear me." Nothing. "Jenni, squeeze my fucking hand." Still nothing. I check to see if she is breathing and she indeed was. Her breathing was rigged and slowing down from a fast pace. I place my ear on her chest to hear a steady heartbeat. "Jenni." I say again, determination in my veins. "Jenni, squeeze my hand if you can hear me." Nothing. "Jenni, nod you're head if you can hear me." Slight movement. "Jenni can you please try to squeeze my hand one last time." I feel her fingers move. "Okay, good, Jenni can you open your eyes please." Her eyes slowly open, only to close again as tear start to fall down her face and she starts to sob. "Jenni I'm right here." I say rubbing her shoulders. Her eyes shot open and she launched her body at me. Pinning me down. Her eyes held only anger and fear. I stared horrified at the girl I wasn't used to. She quickly jumps away from and runs back to her room. Jake ran after her as Colby came in to see if I was okay.

Jenni's Pov

It was terrible... I was scared of myself now... everything in my dream felt real... I was in my room when I heard a gun shot and my brother laid on the floor dead as someone stood with a gun in their hands. They then began to cut my brother and that was were it ended... I wanted to kill that person. I sat on my bed rocking back and forth mumbling to myself: 'it wasn't real... it was just a dream.' I then let the sobs leave me as I remembered every part of the dream bit by bit. I scream and tried to not break anything. My heart was breaking every second. I hear my door open and before I can turn around arms wrap around me and instantly I tense up. Jake turns me around and holds me as I sob into his chest, my heart shattering like glass. My world was crashing and I had only been her in LA for two weeks, almost three. I needed my family...

Jake's Pov

Jenni sobbed into my chest for about half an hour before I picked her up and laid down on the bed with her still in my arms. I didn't want to let her go, no matter what. After ages she finally stopped sobbing and snuggled into my arms more. I looked down at her to see her staring at the wall with no emotion on her face or in her eyes.
"You okay?" I ask, catching her attention.
She moves her head so that her chin rests on my chest and her face is inches away from mine.
"Yea..." she says quietly, moving her head again and snuggling more into me.
"What happened earlier?" I can't help but ask.
She stays quiet and moves her head so that I can't see her face.
"Jenni..." I say, moving a little so that I try and see her face.
"I don't want to talk about it..." she whimpered.
I sit up, pulling her into my lap. I place my hand on her cheek, ever so gently.
"Please tell me." I plead to her, whipping away a tear that slips from her eye.
"It felt so real..." she whimpers and hugs me like I would disappear in a matter of seconds.
"What was?" I ask.
"The dream... I was asleep and... in my dream I heard a gunshot.... I ran out... and I saw him.... he was dead.... and a guy started to cut him..." she says, sobs interrupting every now and then. "When I woke up... I went out... to see if... if it happened.... it didn't... and I fainted..."
I don't say anything as I pull her a little away from me. She stares up at me with fear shining bright in her eyes. I cup her face with my hands and I kiss her forehead.
"Who was it?" I ask.
"My brother..." she whimpers, tears streaming like a river from her eyes.
"Let's call him, okay?" I say, whipping her tears away.
Jenni doesn't say anything and just nods getting up to grab her phone. She grabs it and sit back down next to me. She starts to call a guy with the name of: Brae, his face in the background. I couldn't make out any features whatsoever, but I could tell he was very tanned. After five rings the phone is answers and a black screen appears.
"Jenni?" I hear a voice on the other end say, confusion clear in his voice.
"Hey, Braebee." She says keeping the camera on herself.
"Hey." He says and I hear him moving around. "It 3 in the morning, Jenni. Why did you call me?"
"Because I want to tell you stuff." She says tears falling from her eyes again.
"Shit. Is everything okay?" He says panic in his voice. "Hold up, I need to turn my lights on."
The screen lights up and a guy with dark brown eyes, brown hair much lighter than Jenni's almost black hair. He honestly looked like a guy who worked out daily.
"Okay, talk to me." He says, sitting down.
Jenni looks at me, fear evident in her eyes. I give her an encouraging smile. I then rub her back a little.
"You got this." I whisper to her.
She nods and turns her face back to the phone.
"Who was that?" He asks Jenni.
"Um... no one..." she says, some colour draining from her face.
"Jenni." He says in a warning voice. "If I have to fly down to LA and find out who that was. I will."
"But you'd miss a footy game." She says thinking fast.
"I don't care." He says, his voice Genuine. "I'll do anything to make sure you're fine."
She's face lights up as tears swell up in her eyes.
"Anyway, so, what did you need to tell me?" He asks.
"Umm... I had a nightmare... and... someone shot you... they then started to cut you up... but that's as far as the dream went because I woke up..." she says ignoring the part of when she fainted.
"Is that it?" He asks, knowing there was more to it.
"No... that's it." She says.
"Jenni don't lie to me." He says bluntly.
"I'm not lying..." she says to him.
"Alright then..." he replies letting it go "who's that?"
I look at Jenni to see her face pale.
"Yea I see him. Purple hair...."
"Uhh...." Jenni says trying to think fast.
"Hi." I say, smiling.
"Who are you?" He asks me.
"Jake Webber." I say, confident.
"What are your intentions with Jenni?"
"Just friends. That's it. Nothing more."
"You got insurance?"
"Uhh.. yea... why?"
"No reason. How much money do you have?"
"I'm not rich, but I'm not poor."
"So, you're stable?
"Yea.."
"Good..." he says, smirking "good luck with her."
"Uhh... thanks?"
"Alright, I'm going back to sleep now." Brae says, smiling.
"Okay, bye." I say, smiling widely.
"Oh, and by the way Jake." He says catching my attention quickly making me hum in response. "You break her. I'll break all of you bones in your body."
"Got it." I say, gulping down my nerves.
