As Julian layed himself down in his bed for the night, he couldn't settle himself enough to relax. He was tossing and turning too much. He decided to pick up his phone again and scroll through social media for a while. When he got sick of that, he nonchalantly decided to look through his phone numbers just to find his newly added, Dom.

I can't believe I have this dudes number... I must be dreaming. I'm going to wake up tomorrow and it won't be there. It'll have all been a dream. I'll wake up on the concrete by the bar and realize dickhead knocked me out into paradise... Julian thought to himself. He shut his phone off, hesitating on the fact that he wanted to shoot Dom a text, but he knew it was inappropriately way too late for that. He set his phone down on his nightstand just to roll over on his side and fall asleep into a dreamland.

"Can you feel my heart?" Dom asked as he stared down at Julian's hand. Dom abruptly grabbed it and placed it on his chest. To Julian, it felt like Dom's heart was about to beat out of his chest. "Can you?", Dom asked again. This time looking into Julian's eyes.

Julian just nodded his head ever so slightly. It was hard for him to move for some reason. He felt limb, like he was made of rubber. Dom started to breathe heavier as if he was having trouble breathing. Julian's heart started to beat faster as well. He could hear it in his ears.

Then all of a sudden, Dom was in a different room. It was dark and Julian was there with him, but he couldn't see Dom's face. His head was down and all Julian could see was Dom's floppy hair pointing to the ground. The closer Julian got, the more different Dom's situation started to look. Though Julian couldn't see Dom's face, he knew something was wrong. He was tied up, sitting on a chair. The rope looked like it was too tight, pressing into him. The dark room kept getting darker and a horrible feeling crept into the pit of Julian's stomach. He couldn't stop moving closer though. He had to see Dom's face.
