Kill or Keep

Chapter 14- The Nightmare

Beatrice's POV:

Dream vision:

I was walking around L.A. and I hear someone call my name. I turn around and see my parents. I walk towards them and then something happened. My parent's eyes started to bleed and they have a hole where their heart should be. I put my hands over my ears, close my eyes and start screaming, wishing it would go away. My mother said, "Beatrice you should have helped us instead of doing nothing.

End of Dream:

I get woken up by someone shaking me. I open my eyes to see Matt shaking me to wake up. "Beatrice, wake up." Matt yells at me. Once I'm awake, Matt asks me a question. "You had a nightmare didn't you?" I nod while looking down at my shaking hands. "Do you want to talk about." I didn't like talking about my nightmares with anyone except Maria, so I shook my head no. I guess Matt wanted to help me so he kept asking me. "Beatrice please tell me what's wrong, I just want to help you." I decided to just tell him what happened. "My nightmare was about my parents. They started to bleed. Their eyes started to bleed and they had a hole where their heart should be. Then my mother said that I should have done something to prevent their death. I was only seven when it happened. What was I supposed to do?" At this point, I broke down crying. Matt pulled me close to him and started hugging me. I gripped Matt shirt and I started crying in his chest. Matt laid his head on top of my head. "It's okay Beatrice, you were only seven when it happened and I'm sure you did everything you could." I continue to cry while Matt keeps hugging me. "It's okay. I'm here for you but you need to calm down." I couldn't calm down. "Beatrice please calm down, please." Matt asked me. I eventually calmed down. I pulled away from the hug and looked at Matt. "Thanks, Matt for comforting me and letting talk about my problem." I said while smiling. "You're welcome. Just remember that I'm here for you." Matt told me while he gave me a smile. Matt got off of the bed and said, "Well, I'm going to let you sleep. Goodnight."

As Matt was about to leave the room, I grabbed his arm, while looking at the ground. "Could you stay with me until I fall asleep?" I ask him while my face was turning red. Matt nodded and laid in the bed with me. As I was falling asleep, I was afraid. I was afraid of what nightmares wait for me if I fell asleep. Matt then whispered in my ear and said, "Go to sleep Beatrice. I'll be here if you have another nightmare." I nod my head and started falling asleep. The last thing I heard was Matt saying, "Goodnight my little Bee."
