Lena's Dream

LENA'S POV

My thoughts drifted for a while before sleep finally overcame me. As it turns out, I begun to dream of Kara....

I was sitting on my bed. I saw Kara tossing and turning. She was having a nightmare. As soon as I realised, I ran over and knelt down next to her bed and leant over her. Stroking her face, I tucked stray hairs behind her ear. She calmed momentarily, then she was back at it again.

"Kara." I whispered.

She whined, fear seeping through her voice. "Kara!" I said a little more loudly.

She jumped up, I only just dodged her before she would've crashed into me. She panted loudly, tears came steaming down her face. I felt worried and afraid for her. She turned to me and without thinking flung her arms around me.

"Alex!" She cried. "I saw it again!"

"Not Alex, hun. It's me, Lena." I said gently. She jumped off me, she looked confused.

"Sorry." She tried to hide her tears.

"Don't be."

Soon, I was next to her on her bed. We were sitting opposite each other. I tried talking to her about the nightmare, but she didn't really say anything clear about it.

I scooch up next to her. She's sad. I'm soothing her, running circles on her arm with the tips of my fingers. Her head is resting heavy on my shoulder, but I don't mind at all. In fact, I want it there. I want her to be close and I want to comfort her. I want to make her feel better. There are tears running down her cheeks still and I'm worried about her.

At some point, I'm not sure when, we went under the covers. We were now sitting with our backs against the headrest. My arm was still around her, my fingers still tracing her skin. But now both her hands were holding onto my other hand. Her grip firm but not too tight. There were fewer tears now, but I felt like she still wasn't okay.

"Hey, don't worry. You're alright. Nothing bad will happen now." I said softly, my cheek resting upon her head.

"H-how'd you know?" I heard her voice say, breaking a little.

"I promise to look after you. I'll always care about you."

"Always?"

"Always." I say, finding my lips gently pressed against her hairline.

"But- what if you go too? They're all gone. It's all gone. I don't want to lose you too!"

I turned to her panicked eyes and I felt so much pain.

"Go where? What's it?" I asked, remembering my confusion, but not where from.

"It-"

"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP" My stupid alarm blared. I slammed my hand to my phone a few times before I hit the button and the noise finally ended.

'Urgh! No. My dream! She was about to say! Not that it would be true, because she hasn't told me. And I'm not psychic or anything. Still, that's frustrating!'

I turned to Kara's bed. She was beginning to wake up from my alarm too.

"Why do you always wake up so early!!"

"Sorry Kara."

She grumbled and turned my way. She smiled a bright smile, then closed her eyes and hid under her covers. I laughed. She looked adorable, and it was funny how she didn't like to get up in the mornings. Even though once she was up she totally seemed like the queen of morning people. She was always happy somehow.

That just caught me even more though. If she's always happy, then what was her nightmare about!?

I slowly got up from my bed, reaching up and stretching my arms. I yawned loudly, earning a giggle from Kara. I thought I'd feel a little embarrassed, but it was actually ok. It was nice to hear her sweet laugh, even if she was laughing at me. I smiled back at her, then walked into the bathroom.

My thoughts drifted again as I got in the shower.

'I had a dream about Kara. We aren't like that in real life though. I don't sit on her bed with her and talk. I don't get in her bed with her. ... I was in her bed. Fuck. That's sounds wrong. It wasn't anything like that! I was just comforting her!' I fail to convince myself.

Perhaps that's what happened, but it wasn't how it felt. I felt close to her. Physically and emotionally. I felt... Loving, towards her... No. I was just thinking about her.

I was thinking about Kara, because I was worried about her. I was worried because I care. I care because...?

I'm not sure...

[Sorry, this was kind of short. Give me ideas of what you'd like to see, 'cause otherwise I'm just going for them beginning to hang out more, and hopefully some slipups until they're both aware of their own feelings and begining to be aware of each others too. If there's anything you'd like on the way though... Please let me know. Thx :)]
