I fell asleep on the couch while we were watching TV with my parents. It had been a rough night and I had studied for a test. Also being Spiderman secretly is an exhausting job…
I woke up in the middle of the night after I saw a nightmare. I don't usually see much nightmares, but when I see them, they tend to be really, really frightening. I tried to get over it but since it was dark and all, I got scared and I didn't know what to do. It was a horrible feeling… I called Dad and Daddy, but my cries weren't that loud and as I noticed that the clock was already 2:00 a.m., I stopped calling them. I tried to build up my courage and I got up from the couch. I ran as fast as I could to my parents big master bedroom and jumped between them, under their blanket. Daddy was the first to open his eyes and after him dad. They looked at me sleepily, and then after some time dad asked me what was I doing and I told I had a nightmare and I got scared. I told them I was sorry and I asked if I could sleep in their bed this night.
Just the feeling of sleeping alone while I saw all these figures everywhere…
Both of them chuckled a little and Tony ruffled my hair. Of course it was okay to them, they said and both hugged me at the same time. It felt like I was that scared, lonely 5 years old me again, when I used to hide under their blanket and sleep there because I was too scared of sleeping alone; I almost cried but I knew that that would have been stupid and I was too tired to cry anyway. So I fell asleep between them, feeling safe and secure. I slept well and I could feel in my sleep how both of my parents were embracing me, wanting to keep me safe.
"I love you…"
