A/N; This is told from Julie's point of view. This is also a one-shot. If you want more, we'll see about it later.
Disclaimer; I own nothing.
A girl can tell many things about her boyfriend including myself. But when I see the look on my boyfriend's face everytime I see him, I know; it was the same nightmare. It's plain and evident because he has it every night. He hasn't told me since the first time he did but I know from the look on his face that this one is a recurring nightmare that will never stop.
I see the bags under his eyes and the dark circles around them. He doesn't sleep after he has the nightmares, not even a wink. For the rest of the day, he's a zombie, robotic in motion and trying to run on the sugar he puts in his smoothies. And its always the same nightmare that gets him. The same one.
His best friend is always a monster in his nightmares, always chasing after him, trying to kill him, it doesn't matter whether he's a teenager in the nightmare or not. In this nightmare his cousin tries to save him, despite his protests, and Kevin absorbs her, always absorbs, her leaving no trace of his girlfriend behind. Then Ben breaks down crying over his dead cousin, as Kevin raises his knife-like arm and brings it slashing down on the weeping boy's throat. The last thing that Ben sees in his nightmare is Kevin laughing manically as Ben slowly bleeds to death.
This nightmare keeps him up at night, it keeps him from sleeping soundly. He doesn't tell his parents, because his dad would blow him off and his mom would coddle him like there's no tomorrow. He doesn't Gwen or Kevin because Gwen would scold him for bringing it up and he doesn't want Kevin to feel bad. He tells me because⦠he can trust me.
I don't why but he trusts me with keeping these dreams a secret more than he can trust his friends and family. He thinks that if they knew that he wasn't getting any sleep, they would drag him to the doctor and force him to take pills that'll make him sleep. If he sleeps he knows that he'll have the nightmare again and he's afraid that it'll scare him so much that he'll won't wake up from it. I know that's just paranoia talking, but he seems genuinely scared that it'll happen. I'm starting to believe it too.
I want him to sleep and get rest, but I don't want him to have the nightmare either. What am I going to do? He's usually my hero, always saving me from getting hurt or killed. But how do I save him from destroying himself from the inside out?
A/N; There you go. So, leave some reviews? Please?
