(Nathan's POV)

"Damn you, Sunny!" I hear someone mumble before I get hit in the rib, again. Jay has been tossing and churning all night, with the occasional mumble. He starts to breathe faster and become more restless. I start to panic, not knowing how to help Jay. I have to go get Siva! Quietly, I slide out of bed and run to Siva's room.

"Siva! Seeeeev-gah!" I whisper yell as I knock on their door. I hear some movement before Siva half-heartedly opens the door.

"What?" Siva mumbles, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

"Jay's having a really bad nightmare and I don't know what to do." I say, feeling the panic attack start to over-ride my thoughts.

"Well there's no sense in you dying over a nightmare so sit down and breath." Siva instructs as Nareesha peers over Siva's shoulder. I go back into my room and sit next to Jay, letting his breathing fill my thoughts with serenity.

"I can't ki- Nath," Jay mumbles some more as his breathing picks up.

"It's only a dream, Jay." Siva whispers as Nareesha and Kelsey come in.

"Bubba, don't wake him up. You could make things worse." Nareesha whispers. Suddenly, Jay screams out, "It's only a dream!"

"Does this mean that he's awake?" Tom comes in briefly.

"Well... possibly. Jay? Can you hear me?" Siva asks, poking Jay's shoulder lightly. Jay seems to respond well until he yells out, "Hurt him!"

I begin to cry, not knowing what to do. Without thinking I lace my fingers with his as I whisper, "Jay, can you hear me? It's just a dream."

He begins to go proper still as the sobs in my chest rise. I crawl to get closer to Jay when he flings himself on to me. He literally just jumped into my lap.

"Nathan!" he screams hysterically, flailing around and constantly hitting the bruised area on my chest.

"Just wake up!" I sigh, beginning to get frustrated with my sleeping boyfriend. He repeatedly mumbled those few words over and over again. He finished off his fit by bellowing out "WAKE UP!"

With a gasp, he wakes up, panting and crying hysterically. Everyone begins to bombard Jay with questions as I let him know he was safe and sound in my arms. He snuggles up into my hair as I rock him back and forth.

"Jay, are you alright?" Nareesha asks once all the chaos settles down.

"Oh yeah, just a bad dream... or three." he attempts to laugh yet fails.

"Three?" Tom asks before Kelsey...

"Yeah, it was very odd. In the first dream, me and Nathan were getting married but I didn't quite... know so I said no." Jay answered, though it sounded like a question slightly.

"What do you mean you didn't quite know?" I ask defensively.

"I was shocked that it was happening out of nowhere. I just wasn't ready, I guess." Jay says.

"Cool, next dream." Tom ordered. Jay begins to move his eyes back and forth, the way he does when he's hiding something.

"Jay? Y'alright?" I ask, causing him to jump slightly.
