Sometimes Jack wakes up in the middle of the night, sometimes from her own nightmares, sometimes to check on Alex. She walks into Alex's room just to check he's okay. She smiles when she sees him lying under the blankets fast asleep, looking as innocent as he had at the age of seven. Other times he is frowning, fidgeting, caught in the middle of a flashback, and although she wants to, she doesn't wake him because she is scared of what he might tell her. She hates those nights, when he is suffering and she isn't brave enough to stop it. But sometimes when she goes into his room she sees an empty bed. She hates those nights the most.
