Samantha woke up from her sleep by the ringing of her phone. Sam groaned as the sunshine from the window hit her eyes. Her eyes then moved to towards her phone and saw that it was ten o' clock and that she had ten missed calls from Hannah. Samantha waited a few moments for Hannah to call back and she did. Samantha answered her phone and said,
"What's up Han, need something?"
"Sam, you need to get here quick!" said the distressed Hannah.
Alarmed with Hannah's tone, Sam got up from her bed.
"What happened?" Sam said with concern as she quickly got ready to leave and head towards the Washington household.
"It's Josh, he had a really bad nightmare, and he thinks Beth and me are dead. And he is constantly calling her name." said the crestfallen twin.
"Where is Josh right now?" Sam asked her best friend.
"He is in our room right now with Beth and currently hugging Beth like she will disappear any second now." Said the emotional Hannah. "I got to go Sam, he is calling for me. Get here quickly."
"I'm on my way." Sam responded as Hannah ended the call.
Samantha changed from her pajamas and quickly put her yoga pants and a shirt and a hoodie on too. Then she grabbed her keys and got into her car with one thought in mind,
'Hang on Josh. I'm on my way.'
Washington household
Beth and Hannah's Room
Josh sat on Beth's bed hugging Beth like she would disappear at any moment notice. He told them about is vivid dream. Told them about their disappearance and how they were declared dead. Told them about the prank that led them to their death. And how miserable he was for a whole year. And how he stopped taking his medications. And how he devised a sadistic prank to get them back for last year. Only to led to his own demise as he was taken to the mines to suffer. The deaths of their friends. Then realization struck Josh like a train.
The monster that grabbed Josh was Hannah because of that tattoo on her arm. Beth rubbed her brother's back as he cried and told them about his nightmare. Beth let out a few tears as she saw how devastated Josh was. Beth saw Hannah calling someone, probably Sam, to help them with Josh.
Suddenly Josh removed himself and called out for Hannah.
Hannah ended the call when she heard her brother calling for her.
"Don't worry Josh, I'm right here and so is Beth. We're both alive and will be for a long time." Hannah told her brother as she cried. As she never saw Josh have a breakdown as bad as this. He was always the strong one, he was always the on who took care of them when their parents would leave for a long time for a business trip. But today he needs their help and Beth and Hannah won't let him down.
Beth joined in on the hug and said,
"Yeah Josh, we will always be here. The three Washingtons will always be together, no matter where we are, we will always be connected."
The Washington trio sat there as the twins were helping their older brother through his nightmare. The sat there for thirty minutes when they heard someone knocking on the door. Beth and Hannah shared a glance to who will open the door seeing how they were still hugging Josh. Josh was clinging more to Hannah therefore Beth slipped out the embrace and headed downstairs for the door.
Beth opened the door only to be confronted by a concerned blond. Beth ushered for Sam to enter and she did.
"How is he?" asked Sam as she saw red and puffy Beth's eyes were from crying and assumed the worst.
"One of the worst breakdown he has ever had. He had this nightmare where we went to the lodge where Emily, Mike, Jessica, Matt, and Ashley pranked Hannah and Hannah ran into the forest and I followed and apparently Hannah and I died. Then how he spent a year blaming himself for our deaths. He told us how he created this cruel prank to get back at every one for causing his little sisters death. But then there was a monster near the cabin that was killing every one until he was the last survivor. His dream was so vivid, he felt the pain in his nightmare." Beth said as her voice cracked and let out a few tears.
Sam was horrified at how vivid the nightmare was. Tomorrow they were supposed to be at the lodge but being here for Josh is important and the trip needs to be canceled. Sam and Beth went upstairs towards Hannah and Beth's room.
Sam could hear Josh sobbing form outside and her heart shattered into a million pieces. Sam opened the door and entered the room followed by Beth. Sam saw Hannah hugging Josh and trying to calm him but failing as she too was crying.
Josh heard someone enter the room and opened his eyes only to look into the eyes of Sam's. Hazel meeting green. Josh let removed himself from Hannah and walked backwards until his back hit the wall while he was muttering,
"No Sam, oh god you're not dead."
Sam's eyes watered seeing how Josh was affected by his nightmare and responded,
"Josh, I'm here and I'm not leaving."
Sam walked towards Josh seeing how he wouldn't move, probably still scared, well he did see his friends die. Sam embraced Josh as Josh remembered from his nightmare on how he betrayed Sam's trust. And how he felt when she saw her lifeless corpse. Josh cried even more, and squeezed Sam tighter but Sam didn't mind, as long as he felt comfortable in her arms.
"It's okay Josh, I'm here, and everything is going to be alright. You don't have to be scared anymore." Sam said lovingly.
Josh looked up at Sam's hazel eyes and said,
"Okay I trust you Sammy."
