Adam's POV

Tommy led me from the bathroom into his room, but then we ran into a problem, he only had one bed.

"Um, I guess I'll sleep on the couch or something" I said

"No, you're not sleeping on the couch; I'll sleep on the couch"

"I can't let you sleep on the couch in your own house!"

"Fine I guess we're just both gonna have to sleep on the bed" he said

"Wait, what?" ok I know I kinda like the kid, but sleeping in the same bed might be a little awkward.

"Come on" he said "we're just sleeping"

"Fine, whatever"

I climbed into Tommy's bed and he climbed in after me, but the opposite, so that his feet were by my head

"Night Adam" he said

"Night Tommy"

I was tired and fell asleep almost immediately….

~Adam's dream~

I was sitting next to my boyfriend, in his house on the couch. We were watching a movie and the movie somehow led to us making out, and things were getting pretty heated. I was lying on my back on the couch and he was on top of me straddling my hips. His hands went under my shirt and I knew where this was going.

"Drake" I mumbled against his lips. "Hmm?" he kissed me again and his hands were going all over the place. "Drake" I said again, placing my hands over his to stop him.

He sat up a little and looked at me "What?"

"I….I can't" I told him. Stupid answer but it was true. I wasn't ready to do that with him yet. I love him, don't get me wrong, but I just wanted to wait a little longer. Was that so bad?

"Come on Adam, we've been dating for almost a year. Don't you love me?"

"Of course I love you" I told him "I'm just….not ready yet"

"Come on, I know you want to" he leaned down to kiss me again and I let a moan escape my throat, I couldn't help it

"I knew it" he mumbled against my lips, and he chuckled. He pulled both our shirts off and went to unbuckle my belt

"Wait, Drake, stop!" he didn't say anything, but he pinned my hands above my head with one of his hands

"Drake, stop! I don't wanna do this" I tried getting up, but he was pretty heavy despite his small size.

"please stop..."

That night, he didn't stop. He hurt me so bad that night; I honestly thought I was gonna die or something…

The events of that night kept replaying over and over in my head. I didn't even know what this was. A dream or flashback? I didn't know, but did it really matter? No matter how much I tried to forget him, or not think about him, there was no stopping what happened when I closed my eyes. And I couldn't stop it…..

My dream switched then, to the time I first picked up a razor blade. I just couldn't handle it anymore; the pain was too much, all because of him. I had my other problems too, but that was just kind of my breaking point…..

The dream switched again and it went to the time that I went back to Drake, even after what he did. So much shit was going on, and he was the only person I had. I still remembered his words: 'I knew you would come back'

After that, the events of that dream just kept replaying in my mind, over and over….

Tommy's POV

"Adam? Adam?" I was shaking his shoulder. He had been tossing and turning like crazy, which woke me up. It seemed like he was having a nightmare or something. I didn't know what it was, but I knew I needed to wake him up. He was clawing at his arms, in his sleep, and they were starting to bleed. Shit!

"ADAM!" I shook him again.

Adam gasped and shot up, sitting up on the bed. He was breathing heavily and his hair was a mess. He was sweating and shaking badly, and his arms were bleeding.

I didn't really know what to do so I just sat there rubbing his back. "It was only a dream Adam, calm down" He was shaking so badly. I sat there with my arm around him for about 20 minutes, and then he finally started to calm down. He was still sweating and shaking, but it wasn't as bad. But he had tears running down his face

"It's okay Adam" I rubbed tears off his face with my thumb

"I'm sorry" he whispered

"Stop saying you're sorry!" I told him "You have absolutely nothing to apologize for"

"Yes I do! I've just been causing you problems, I'm surprised you haven't said you never want to see me again, I don't deserve you" he looked down at his hands

"Don't ever say that again!" I told him "You're not pathetic, you're a great person. I want to be your friend, I am your friend, I like you"

"You do?" he asked in a tiny voice. I nodded "I do" I smiled at him, and he smiled back

He had calmed down now, and man was I glad. I had never seen anybody get that shook up over a nightmare. I wanted to ask him what it was about but I didn't want to start him up again. I would ask him sometime, but now wasn't the best time to do it.

"Let's go get you cleaned up" I said. I grabbed his hand and helped him stand up. He looked down then and gasped. His wrists were all scratched up and bleeding.

"What happened?" he asked "What did I do?"

"You were doing that in your sleep" I told him. He closed his eyes and sighed.

"It's okay, come on" I pulled him into the bathroom and cleaned the scratches up for him and put a band aid on them. I rubbed my fingers over the band aids, hoping it would make them feel better. "What made you do this? What could you possibly be dreaming about?" he tensed up next to me

"I….it was" he started to answer. But then he started shaking again.

I panicked for a minute. "Adam! Adam stop! It's okay; you don't have to talk about it, it's okay" I started rubbing his back again.

He closed his eyes and then calmed down a little

He looked up at me, and I looked back at him. His eyes were sunk in and had bags under them

"Come on, let's get you back to bed" I told him. I grabbed his hand again and pulled him up. I walked him back to my room, not letting go of his hand. I waited until he was lying down, then went to leave

"Where are you going" he asked.

"I just thought I would let you have the bed to yourself…you would be more comfortable and…."

"No" he shook his head. "Stay with me?" he asked and lifted his hand, almost like he was reaching out to me. "Please?" he whispered

"Adam. Of course I'll stay with you" I laid down next to him on the bed, and took his hand in mine. His hand was tense at first, but then he relaxed.

"Good night Adam" I leaned up and kissed his forehead

He stared at me in shock for a moment then smiled "Good night Tommy" he said, and then fell asleep
