Chapter 7: Comforting the Nightmares
I'm back! Sorry that this took so long…..I've been busy with drama, Link Crew, drama, AP stuff, and drama. Well, not so much of the drama, more of the AP stuff. Both are taking a tole on me. The teachers like to give tests on the same day with only an hour apart….I'll let you now read and be happy.
I only own OC's.
"So what do you guys want to do now?" Destiny asks finishing her slice of pizza. I look over to the clock, reading 11:30.
Aria sighs, "I don't know either."
I look around the room, put my hand on my chin, close my eyes and sigh, "Well, I don't know about you guys, but I feel ready for going to bed." I open one of my eyes and looking at all of them.
Blair yawns also, as if proving my point "Sounds good to me. I don't know about you, but I feel like we are going to have a very long day tomorrow." She stretches.
I look around and see Destiny starting to brush her teeth. I grab my toothbrush and start brushing as well. The others start getting ready for bed, getting all of the blankets and pillows and bed all set up. After finishing I ask Blair, "So what do you think the guys are doing?"
She shrugs her shoulders and shakes her head, "With those guys, who knows. For all I know they could be riding ponies and I could care less." She smirks, "But, we don't need to worry about them today, because we are having a girl's night and we get to act as if they don't exist for like twenty-four hours." She looks up and smiles at me.
I laugh at the pony comment, "Yeah, I guess you are right." I sigh, "Well," climbing in to bed I continue, "I hope you guys have a good night sleep." I say as I pull the covers up to my chin.
Why does my heart feel like its racing? I wonder, looking down to my feet to see that I am in fact running. I pant, the burning sensation in my legs making me grow weaker. I look behind me, not sure of what to look for. I look ahead and see that I have made my way to the forest. Before anything else can happen I scream, "Someone! Help me!" I feel something grab me from behind.
"Ahhhh!" I scream, sitting up hastily and waking others in the process. I start crying, putting my hands over my eyes.
Blair scrambles to her feet, struggling with her eye mask, "Is it the guys?" She asks furiously.
Aria looks around, "No. There is nothing here." She walks up to me, "Would you like me to get Jaden?" I start to sob and nod my head yes. "Destiny let's go."
"Yeah! Let's go!" I hear the door shut.
Destiny's POV
I walk, well, more like fast walk, up to Atticus' door. I bang on the door and try my room key, seeing that it oddly works. I smirk. Great, may as well have some fun with this. I start to laugh evilly. Aria puts her hand over my shoulder. Scared to touch me, "Destiny, what are you going to do?"
I rub my hands together, "Oh, you know." Aria sighs, "Time to have some fun." I tip-toe into the room, not making a sound. I pull a whistle out of my pajama pants pocket, "Here we go." I whisper before yelling in a deep voice, "Put your hands in the air where I can see them!"
Atticus, upon hearing this panics throwing his hands in the air along with Syrus and Hasselberry. Chazz wakes up and glairs at me, Zane just sits up rubbing his head, while Jaden and Jesse are still passed out. Angered Chazz yells, "What the hell was that for? You know I was sleeping!"
I smirk, "I know that. Alexis sent me to get Jaden, so I thought that I may as well have some fun while getting him." I look to him, disappointment masking my face, "Just to bad it didn't work on everybody." Aria laughs. I walk up to Zane, "And you could've giving a better performance!"
He shrugs getting out of the bed, "Sorry for knowing that you were there." He smirks, I blush.
Atticus pokes me, "Aw! Look! She's blushing!" He says poking around at me.
I glair at him, "Shut up." I say dangerously low that he shivers, "We need to get back to Alexis, Jaden." Turning my head to him, forgetting he is sleeping. I smirk and hearing Aria saying 'Oh, no.' means only one thing. Time to get them up the old fashion way.
I grab both by the collar of the shirts and drag them off the bed, even when they hit the floor, I am still dragging them. I do a face palm when I let them go, "Can someone grab these two and get them to our room?" I ask looking around.
Hasselberry grabs Jesse as Atticus grabs Jaden. With everyone ready to see Alexis we head down the hall with me, then Aria, Atticus carrying Jaden, Hasselberry with Jesse and Zane. The others decide the best for them would be to hang outside.
Jaden's POV
I rub my head, "Ouch!" I wince saying, when I open my eyes, I see me in the arms of someone. I look at the face now staring down at me, "Atticus!" I yell shocked and flail around until I fall out of his arms, I stand saying, "What's up?" He moves his saddened eyes from me to Alexis.
I look to Alexis. 'Why is she crying?' I run up to her, sit next to her on the bed, and take her in my arms. "What happened?" I asked frantic.
She looks to me, her eyes glossy, tears coming to her eyes, and she starts to sob again. I rub her back in circles slowly. I look to the others, a few saying they will get water, and others just leaving the room completely. A while after she stops crying all together, she takes a drink of water, whipes her eyes, then sighs. "What's wrong?"I ask soothing.
"This dream I had." She looks down, with her breath shaking. "It felt so surreal. It wasn't anything like I felt before." She looks to me. I nod urging her to continue. "All I remember is a dark forest, me running, and some person after me. In the forest." She puts a hand to her head, "I've never been so confused in my life."
I look at her lovingly, "Why don't we go back to our room. Maybe you can get some sleep there?" I ask being very careful.
She nods then tries to get out of bed, unable to, "I can't get out of bed." I stand, turn around, and pick her up bridal style.
She snuggles closer to me, "Thanks." I smile down at her.
Atticus comes up next to me, "Now you better not do anything inappropriate to my baby sister!" He smiles jokingly.
I smirk, "Yeah I know, you don't need to worry about me though." I say walking to the door. Zane, who is next to the door, opens it, stepping out of my way. I thank him and exit into the hallway. I see Destiny, Blair and Aria in the hall, with Aria leaning her head on Jesse's shoulder. It looks like she had been crying. "Hey man." I ask Jesse.
He stands, Aria along with him, "She ok?" He looks to Alexis.
I smile down at her and then back to him, "Yeah. Don't need to worry. We'll get through this." He sighs, "But can you do me a favor?"
His head snaps up. "Sup?"
I laugh out of my own stupidity, "Could you get my key out of my back pocket?"
He starts laughing, "Only you Jay. You sure Alexis won't mind?" He looks to her worried.
"She's cool."
"I meant with what was going on."
I sigh, for what seems to be the millionth time in the past three hours, "Yeah, I think we can get through this."
"Good." He yawns, "Well, I'm going back to bed." He swipes my key card, stretches, walks the three girls to their room, kisses Aria, and walks back to me.
I go in and set Alexis down and come back, "What was that about?" I ask smirking.
He smiles and nods, "You know Jay, you aren't the only person allowed to have relationships here also."
"Sweet! We could double!"
"What?" He looks at me as if I grew another head.
"Sorry," I rub the back of my head, "Alexis is getting to me."
He smiles, "Yeah, I know."
Laughing I say, "Yeah, but I'll see you tomorrow."
"See ya." He turns to leave, as I head into my room.
See what I did there? I know, I was just as shocked about it as you were. It came to me in the moment of writing it. Review! I can only try to update soon, but no promises…..I still love you! 3
