No... stop...!
Leave me alone...!
Let go of me, leave me alone!
Stop it!
NO!
I shot upright in bed with a loud gasp. My chest was heaving and I was near drenched in a cold sweat. I looked down at my hands, then moved them to clutch at my face. 'I'm okay? ... Yeah, I'm okay.' My arm fell to my side as I let out a sigh of relief, the other moving to clutch my shirt just above my heart. I was slightly startled when the figure next to me in the bed stirred, but a wave of relief washed it away upon seeing the messy pink locks. "Mm, Yumi...?" Ami said sleepily, followed by a tiny yawn. "What's the matter?" I gave her a reassuring smile. "Nothing. It was just a nightmare." I looked over to see her pink orbs filled with concern. "Are you sure? You seem shaken up." I just widened my smile. "I'm sure, I be fi-"
I was interrupted by the sound of a loud crash coming from the kitchen. I jumped and ended up falling forwards to clutch onto Ami for dear life. Immediately, I felt her arms wrap around me tightly. "Shh... It's alright, Yumi. I'm pretty sure that was just Kaz being clumsy as usual." As if on cue, I could hear Kaz's muffled cursing from the other room. I could feel my body trembling, and Ami could too, judging by how much more tightly she held me then. "See?" Her voice was gentle and hushed. "Just Kaz. There's nothing to be afraid of, Yumi." She gently eased me back down on the bed and we just layed there holding each other tightly. I could hear Ami's heart beat, and it soothed my nerves in no time. It wasn't long before we both fell asleep again, my dreams more pleasant this time around.
