The Bandana Boy

8. Nightmare

I opened my bedroom to find Jacky tied to my bed, in only his boxers, with 'FUCK ME' written it red across his forehead.

"Oh my god" I laughed.

"GET YOUR ASSES IN HERE" I yelled down the hallway.

There was a chorus of footsteps coming up the stairs an then another chorus of laughs.

"Was this necessary?" I asked.

"Yes" Ryan said.

"Okay it is pretty funny" I laughed.

"Will you just untie me?" Jacky sighed.

"Wait. I need a picture. Smile Jackery!!" I said as I took the picture.

This is so going on Twitter.

@BreatheAdrianna: I walk into my room to find @JackyCVincent like this

Jacky's phone buzzed.

"Did you really put that on Twitter?" He asked.

"Yup" I said.

I untied him and pulled him into my bathroom. I put some water on a washcloth and tried to whip the words off his forehead.

"I still can't believe they did this" I said.

Jasper scampered into the bathroom and watched as I scrubbed Jacky's face.

"What's with the dog?" Jacky asked.

"Ronnie got him for me. His name is Jasper, but I call him Jazzy" I said.

I felt Jacky tense.

"Why did he buy you a dog?" He asked.

I shrugged my shoulders.

Ronnie poked his head in the bathroom door.

"We're gonna head downstairs. You guys coming?" He asked us.

I nodded my head and he winked at me. I blushed.

"What's downstairs?" Jacky asked me.

"We're all gonna watch scary movies!!" I got all excited.

"Oh. Well I'm just gonna stay up here and...sleep...or something" he said.

My heart dropped six feet underground.

"Oh. Okay" I said looking down

He walked away. I sighed and decided to put on my pajamas.

I put on a pair of grey sweatpants and a black oversized 'I Want To Cuddle You So Hard' t-shirt.

I called Jazzy as I walked down the stairs.

Derek handed me a blanket. I thanked him and walked towards the couch and sat next to Ryan and Aaron.

"Where's Jacky?" Ron asked.

I sighed slightly "He went to bed"

"Oh" he said.

Ronnie gave me a curious look and I just shrugged and snuggled into Aaron's arm.

Halfway through the movie I sighed and got up.

"Where ya goin?" Ryan asked.

"I'm gonna go to bed" I smiled slightly.

Ryan nodded and turned back to the screen.

I called Jasper and he came running along with Charlie.

We walked up to my room. I jumped into my comfortable bed. Charlie curled up against my left side and Jazzy against my right. I couldn't sleep. I laid awake until four in the morning. I finally fell into a deep sleep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up screaming bloody murder. My body was drenched in a cold sweat.

Jacky came running into my room.

"Are you okay? What happened? Why were you screaming? Are you hurt?" He asked frantically.

"No no I'm fine. It wa-was, it was just-"I busted out into tears.

He pulled me into a hug.

"It's okay. It was just a nightmare" he whispered into my ear.

I buried my head into his chest and cried.

"Do you want to talk about it" he whispered.

I nodded slightly.

"I-I was a little girl and I-I was standing at the bottom of a hill an-and my m-mo-mom was at the top. I was tr-trying to call her but no-nothing came out. I started to run towards her but I stayed in the same place. She disappeared" I said and then started to cry again.

Once I cried all my tears out I started to fall asleep. Jacky got up but I grabbed his wrist before he could leave.

"Will you stay with me tonight?" I asked.

"Of course" he said.

He slid into the covers behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

I snuggled into his chest.

He kissed my forehead and whispered "Goodnight beautiful"

I felt a small smile spread across my face and it stayed there until sleep pulled me under.
