I woke up not able to fall back to sleep. I couldn't find anything to write in my journal. I finally decide to go downstairs and get something to eat. As I walk down the stairs I think of my bad dream. The mad following me down the dark alley. As I walk into the kitchen I se the light is on.
"What are you doing awake?" Colby asks me when he sees I'm awake.
"I had a bad dream and couldn't sleep." I say grabbing a cookie from the pantry.
"You want to talk about it?" Colby asks.
"I don't remember most of it." I admit.
"But a guy was following me down a dark alley." I say eating the cookie and holding back tears.
I think that Colby could tell this bad dream was upsetting me because he came over and rapped his arm around me.
"You want to sleep in my room?" He asks me.
"Yes please." I say snuggling into his side.
"Okay let's go." He says picking me up bridal style.
He lays me down on his couch and then goes and lays in his bed. I was still scared of everything. The bad dream kept playing in my mind. I could tell that Colby was about to fall asleep. His breathing got quieter. I walk over to his bed and tap his shoulder.
"Can I sleep with you?" I beg him. He just groans.
"Pleeeeaaaaassseee!" I beg him.
"Fine climb in." He says lifting the covers.
