Alex's POV

Flashback (I'm sorry, I'ma try to be more original with his nightmare :/)

The harsh rain was pounding harder and harder against the windows looking like the glass was almost giving up and would break any second. I shivered for cold and terror, I was alone- my brother isn't here with me. HE'S GONE. Rain used to calm me down, I used to like rain not many people liked but I did. Now it just scared me. This was my end, it was the end of my story. I was preparing my last goodbyes praying to god. The wind whistled louder and louder and sometimes hearing screams that didn't last long, 3 seconds was the record. I could hear everything breaking down as well as people's hearts on this island but not for too long as the wind will take everyone in the end, cause death doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints- it takes and it takes. And I knew my time was up. I was sobbing out loud shivering and pleading God wishing it was just another bad nightmare. I saw James dying, and I didn't help him if I did he would be here not me. It's all my fault.

End of flashback.

I open my eyes throwing myself out of the bed to the floor gasping for air, my eyes were watering and I couldn't get it out of my mind. I was shivering. John quickly got out of bed shocked, terrified and looked really worried.

"Alex?" He tried to ask as I could hear a voice crack. I couldn't control myself. Shit. Not again.

John helped me up but as soon as I got up I fell again not on my knees but onto him. He hugged me tight and started whispering something into my ear.

"Shh... It's okay, relax. I got you" He hugged me even tighter and I hugged back, he was warm. He placed me on my bed and put his arm on my shoulder. His eyes were filled with fear but also kindness and worry. He was worried about me.

"Breathe slowly." He said with care as I listened to him and tried to breathe... slowly. After a few minutes, I was fine, just embarrassed that John had to see this. He probably thinks you're weak. Great Job, Alex.I bit my lip again and looked at him with sadness in my eyes.

"What happened? You can trust me. I'm here for you" My heart melted as he said those words, I felt loved again. I felt like I could trust him, he has a kind heart- he was a really great friend.

"I-I just had a nightmare, that's all" I explained stuttering trying to give too much away. He pulled into a hug again, I felt safe. I could feel his muscular body, it was nice. I blushed a little while I was thinking that. I was impressed by how he still stayed- someone so good looking with- well someone like me? I mean, I'm nothing special- I'm not even as fit as him. I don't get that guy?

"You wanna get back too sleep?" He asked as I slowly nodded and rolled myself into the covers imitating sushi. He laughed at then said 'Goodnight Alex' and that's when I closed my eyes and fell quickly asleep.

I woke up from the sun rising on me, I yawned and got my laptop on my lap and started writing again. After about an hour or so I saw John wake up. He looked at me confused.

"Why are you up so early? It's like-"

"It's 9" I cut him off smiling.

"I know, I just didn't know what else to do with myself?" I confessed but at the same time, I questioned myself.

"Is that a sentence or a question?" He chuckled at my response.

"Both" I grinned and looked back at my computer returning to writing.

"Wanna make breakfast with me?" John asked standing up but then he let out a small 'oh'.

"Oh, wait. We don't have anything in the fridge- do we?" He asked as if I did grocery shopping.
