  Y/n's P.O.V.

I jumped up. I had just had the worst nightmare. Tears formed on my eyes. I looked around. Amy was still sleeping. She let out a loud snore. I knew that I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep.

So I got up, and tiptoed to the kitchen. I poured myself a cup of milk.

Louis: Y/n?

I jumped and froze.

Louis: Sorry for scaring you

Y/n: Louis! What are you doing up?

Louis: I could ask you the same thing.

I looked at my feet in embarrassment.

Y/n: I-I had a nightmare.

Suddenly a few tears rolled down my cheek.

Louis: Y/n? Are you alright?

I shook my head. Without thinking twice I hugged him tight. Sobbing into his chest. He stroked my hair soothingly. After a while I pulled away and wiped my tears.

Y/n: I-I'm sorry

Louis: It's fine, really. But you should probably go to bed.

Y/n: I don't think I can

Louis: come on

He led me to the living room. He laid his blanket on the other couch and set a few pillows down.

Louis: You can sleep here

Y/n: Thank you. But won't you get cold?

Louis: Nah

I laid down on the couch as he did the same. We were 5 feet apart.

Louis: Do you want to talk about it? It might help.

Y/n: I dreamt that... Someone had broken into our house and they had a gun. He was aiming at my parents. I ran but I didn't make it in time. H-He shot them. And I couldn't do anything about it.

Tears reappeared. I know that it was silly but it felt so real. Blood was splattered across the floor. They were struggling to breathe, gasping for air.

Y/n: Louis?

Louis: Yeah

Y/n: Ca-Can you sit next to me?

Louis: Of course.

He got up and sat at my feet. I felt safe as I drifted off to sleep.
