Another Sleepless Night

Nightmare's POV

I stare up at the ceiling. How long have I been trying to go to sleep for? I check the alarm clock. 11:20. About an hour apparently.

An hour of changing positions and staring into the darkness. I've had trouble getting to sleep before but recently, it's been getting worse.

I get up from my bed and walk to the kitchen, quietly. Nobody else is up or if they are, they've stayed in their room.

I grab a glass of water and some chocolate from the fridge. Cross will probably hurt me for taking the chocolate but I don't care.

Why can't I sleep? If I have any bad dreams, I can't remember them. I barely remember my dreams at all. Dreams, that's all they are, just dreams.

All the medicine is locked up to keep away from the kids. Blue and Dream can open it but apparently try to kill yourself like 3 times and suddenly no one trusts you with anything possibly dangerous.

Blue would get it for me if I asked but I don't want to wake him up, so I'll just suffer.

I walk back to my room and lay on my bed again. I check the clock again. Midnight. I lay awake and check the clock a few more times before finally falling asleep.

I wake up with the realization that it's not going to get any better. I was hoping it would. I can remember bits and pieces of a dream, but nothing helpful.

It's only a dream. Why can't I sleep?

I sit up and stare at the wall. I don't want to get out of bed. I get up anyway, but I know today will have another sleepless night.
