Hi, this is an idea I got during school so I hope you enjoy! :) Also this is one of the only times I've written in 3rd person so bare with me.

Zak was laying on the couch with a blanket wrapped around him. He was basically surviving off of red bull. It's been two nights since he's gotten a good nights sleep. For the past week he's been having horrible nightmares, and he's now scared to go to sleep.
He was staring aimlessly at the wall until he heard a quiet buzz. He grabbed his phone from beside him and saw that someone had messaged him. He clicked the notification to see who it was.

Bad stood up and grabbed his keys. He quickly put on his jacket and his shoes before walking out the door.
the things I do for this muffin...

Zak has suddenly felt a dizzying feeling come over him. He laid there for a few minutes waiting for the dizziness to go away. He was well aware that Bad would probably come over soon, so he just waited. As if on cue he heard a knock on his door.
"Come in." He muttered, raising his voice so Bad could hear him from outside. Zak heard the door open slowly and shut quickly after. He heard footsteps approaching the couch.
"Skeppy?" Bad said as he approached. As he stared at his friend on the couch, worry consumed him. He looked exhausted, he had bags under his eyes and seemed like he hadn't slept in ages. Darryl sat down next to him and he tapped Zak's shoulder.
Zak groaned slightly and lifted his head to look at his friend.
I probably look like a mess, he thought.
Bad's expression clearly showed concern for the younger boy as they looked at each other.
"When's the last time you slept?" Darryl asked.
Zak rubbed his eyes slightly before replying, "Two days ago."
Darryl gasped and said, "Oh my goodness, you need to sleep right now."
"No." Zak said, "I can't go to sleep, I.."
He trailed off slowly and Darryl said, "What's going on?"
Zak sighed, "I've been having nightmares, really bad ones. God, I sound like such a baby."
"No you don't, it happens to everyone." Darryl said, "But you need rest, this isn't healthy."
Zak nodded slowly, "I know."
"So go to sleep and I'll be here the whole time if anything bad happens." Darryl said with a reassuring smile.
"Promise?" Skeppy asked, already falling asleep.
"Promise." Darryl said with a smile.
And just like that Zak fell asleep and didn't wake up for the rest of the night.
Update: I was writing this chapter and all of a sudden I got like a million notifications on the intro lmao
